ury, saving the state i'll two Offices alone
over $4,000 year.
Abolished all fees in county offices and
put them on a salary basis saving the
various counties of the state over $780,

Provided for county repositories, which

Previous to the passage of the county de-
pository act all such interest, if paid, went

Reformed the tax laws of the state and
put over $400, 100000 of corporate proper
ty on the tax rolls which had previously
entirely escaped taxation.
Created Tax Commissioners Office,
with power to enforce the tax laws; an
office which has saved the taxpayers hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually.
Passed the uniform accounting law. re-
curing an adequate and effective system
OF accounts to be kept by all officials
handling public money.
Wiped out many large and cumbersome

During its period of control trebled the
number, extent and scope of the various
state institutions, and more than trebled

required to pay the gasoline bills

keep the jitney moving.
Last night they all foregathered at
Prairie Valley. where forty or more
candidates addressed about one-third

the heat to listen to them. To-day
there is big picnic in progress south

Two weeks from tonight when the

the agony will all be over for some
of the candidates and just beginning
for others. 1t will be a night OF re-
joicing for those who have "come
home with the bacon" and an even
ing of gloom for those who will have
to make the journey up that salty
briny creek. However, there are
several old familiar faces that have
bobbed up serenely every two years
since statehood, who have made per
iodical pilgrimages up this particular
branch, and if they are compelled to
repeat. the scenery will look familiar
to them, and when the landing is
made they will know just where their
old camp ground is located.
It's a cinch that some will have to
make the trip, and it is best to be
prepared with a life preserver, no
matter how cocksure they are OF
their election, as the best plans OF
men sometimes go astray, and the
constituency is a tickle animal.

When Max Westheimer left the

the drill had penetrated a sand to a
depth of IS inches, and oil was flow

to be drilled in today. II promises to
be a good well and street talk is that
it will make a thousand barrels.
However. no one can tell what it will
make until it has been drilled in.

FOR THE FIRST
COUNTY FAIR
FARMERS ALL OVER COUNTY
ARE TAKING KEEN INTEREST
IN THE COMING EVENT - THE
BUSINESS MEN ARE BUSY.

Everybody is taking deep in
terest in the Carter county free fair
to be held in this city in September"
said County Farm Demonstrator Carl
Russell this morning, while busily
engaged in getting the county exhibit
ready for the state fair, which follows
the county fair here
Mr.. Russell has been in the coun-
ty but a few weeks, but in that time
he has obtained firm grasp on mat
ters pertaining to the agricultural re-
quirements and is beginning to do
good work all along the line.
81 believe that Carter county citi-
zens will be surprised when they visit
the county fair this fall" continued
Mr. Russell, because 1t is going to
be so much bigger and grander than
they anticipate, that they will con-
gratulate themselves that they are
citizens of this splendid county"
Secretary West stated that he was
getting everything shaped up to be
gin the erection of the buildings and
grandstand at the park within a few
days, and gives assurance that every
thing will be in good shape on the
opening date.
So far crops have shown wonder
full development in this county, and
the farmers and their wives are pay
ing more attention to raising stock
and poultry. Some of the finest
hocks of high-bred chickens to be
seen anywhere are in this county and
the local poultry breeders association
organized over a year ago will have
pens that will be a revelation TO most
people who pay little attention to
such matters.
The races promise to be spirited
and interesting. The superintendent
of race stock is making up the pro
gram and already several out-of-town
horse fanciers have entered their
stock in the various events.

The PrattX Girl.

Give the pretty girl her due. Why
should she not have Lor share OF
honest praise? Too often when one
comes to investigate he finds half
contemptuous note in the description
of some girl whose beauty stands out
so prominently that it blinds the OBJ
server to her other virtues. Yes, other
virtues. In itself beauty is a virtue
Just as cheerfulness and unselfishLess
and sincerity are virtues. 1t is almost
IS hard to cultivate these others as il
is to take thought and add a degree
to beauty. Often they are natural gifts
and yet a girl with these natural gifts
is given credit for cultivating them,
while the one who is only pretty is
condemned on the ground that she
has had nothing to do with her looks,
that heredity or luck or something else
made her pretty, and that she is sat
listed to be pretty and nothing else.
Give the pretty girl her due. Admit
that whether she wills or not she is
doing a service in the world, just as
the rainbow or the violet or the noun
tain do their part. And admit, too,
that usually she is glad to render her
share to the joy of the world, that,
sung but usually unappreciated, she
is doing something for the good OF
humanity.-Columbia State.

FLYNN Bird Broke Window.

The great speed and force with
which birds fly was strikingly illus
trated the other day when a partridge
crashed through a large window in
a country residence near Red Wing,
Mimi The window was glazed with
plate glass, one-fourth inch thick. The
bird, which weighed 20 ounces, was
found dead in the living room II feet
from the window. The impact Of
its body broke a hole in the heavy
glass about three feet in diameter,
This window is more than five feet
square and close to the ground. 1t
overlooks a large lawn which at GER
tain times of the day is very vividly
reflected in the glass. 1t is thought
that the bird was deceived by the re-
Election and supposed it was flying
through an opening when it met its
death. All but two or three very
small pieces of the broken glass were
thrown into the room.
