TO THE VOTERS OF
Worcester County :

take this method of informing you
of my candidacy for the Judgeship made
vacant in our First Judicial Circuit by
reason of the death of Judge Jones.
whose worth both as Judge and man we
so well recognized and whose untlmely
taking OFF il universally lamented
| did not presume tn become such a
candidate until assureI of a prevailing
sentiment for me throughout the county.
The ready accord with which IT came on
the part of so many has awakened
within me deep sense Of gratitude.
with, at the same time feeling OF
humility. lest might not fully merit the
estimate accorded me. am duly i'm
pressed with the sacred responsibility Of
Judge. and that it calls for the best
within one. both of heart and mind and
that to an exalted degree. fully recog-
nize that il is an Office which should be
removed from all entanglements, poitl-
cal or otherwise. and not to he too
eagerly sought after. but should rather
seek the man. IL ls not my purpose.
therefore. 10 go out among the people
with frantic appeals for support. and do
not expect on this account to meet so
many in person rather prefer you
should consider the matter and my merit
in deliberate and dspassionate manner.
take il that you are loyal TO your
county and greatly desire the Office to
remain where it so rightfully belongs.
The strongest effort is being made TO
wrest il from us. II we are to be sue
cessful in this il must be by united
and concentrated effort on our part If
you think me worthy of your support
for such an exalted position. and that |
can best gather together the forces
required TO attain success, ask that you
vote for me at the coming Democratic
primaries to be held September llth,
next. and ! can assure you in return
that your assistance and cooperation
will receive my grateful appreciation
Yours very truly.

COUNCIL ORGANIZED

AT meeting held at G. w.

War Service Council of Harrison
county was organized, Officers
elected and the organization per-
fected to take up the duties
which may devolve upon it. For
some time il has been known that

take care of those deluded indi-
Nlduals who persist i'm being pro-
German or un-American during
these times and refuse to help the
American boys by giving to the
Red Cross, Y. NJ. G. A., or buying
Liberty bonds. II would surprise
you how many of these creatures
there are running loose, but they
are soon to be rounded up and if
the local committee cannot han
die them. the government will be
asked TO take hand.
This committee will also be the
parent organization for all future
drives To be made for the Red
Cross, Y. M. G. A., Liberty Loan
or whatever other enterprise the
government may want them to
engage in. Governor Harding
Will deputize all the members, so
that they will have the power of
the state of Iowa behind them if
they find it necessary to use it.
We predict that when this COM
mittee calls a man in and gives
him a 9ruelling that he will know
he is for Germany or the
United States, and the committee
will also know where he stands.

4 MEArLEss DAY.

with apologies to Carrie Jacobs
Bond
When you come to the end of a
meatless day,
And you sigh for The times that
are past:
And you think that The morn
brings a wheatless day,
That may even prove worse
than the last
just think what it means to our
soldiers true,
Who have just left their homes
and their all,
And are marching right on with
the red, white and blue,
To respond to their country S
call.
When you come to the end of a
meatless day,
Don't whiningly find fault and
fret.
But cheerfully say as you go on
your way,
! am ready to 'tdo my bit
And whatever we do, let us always
be true
To the best flag that ever un-
furled;
And we'll hope and we'll pray for
& that happier day,
or aBNhen peace comes again TO the
world. --.
