COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT
Of SCHOOLS

From Mondays Daily.
1t now appears that there will be
three candidates for the Office of Coun-
ty Superintendent of Schools. IT'S
we'll. The present incumbent has had
it two terms and that's enough. The
people of Wood County object to the
third term idea. There are other good
men who can fill the office just as well
and probably better than the present
incumbent. Give them a chance No
man is so good that he has no equal
or superior You never know without
making achange. Every good man or
woman who is we'll qualified for the
place has a right to try for the office
It's a we'll established rule in Wood
County to give a man in County office
two terms and then give some one else
the same privilege. It's a good rule
to follow A change is a good thing
Gives new vigor and an opportunity
to possibly do better.

N0COAL OR
WOOD IN CITY
On SATURDAY
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The matter of fuel is becoming a
serious question not only in our city,
but the state and nation as we'll There
certainly is plenty of fuel-coal and
woodruff it cannot be equally dis
tributed. What's the trouble? Who
is to blame? We hear the railroads
are. Car shortage, etc. What will be
the remedy in the future?
Why not start Municipal Wood
Yard? The city furnishes US with our
light, power and water, why not fuel
No good reason-let the city provide
Municipal Coal and Wood yard and
buy the supply in the summer months
when there is plenty and the price is
lowest Buy it in large quantities and
get the best at the lowest price. Let
the city authorities get busy and serve
the people and play on the safe side.
There are many of our people today
who have not fuel enough to last them
a week with both coal and wood yards
empty.

WHY NOT
BUILD 4
VAULT?

A suggestion is offered by the writer
to the cemetery association. Why
don't both of the associations get to-
gether and build a concrete, or stone
vault at the cemetery, one that will
hold about twenty-five or thirty bo-
dies and in this way the sections would
get out of lot Of useless and eXpen-
siEe digging in the hard frozen ground
A small fee will be charged for storing
the bodies and it would be more pleas
ant for all concerned. Did you ever
stop to think about the poor sexton
who digs the grave, how he must re
main out doors nearly a whole day
before the funeral and again nearly
a whole day on the day Of the funeral
waiting for that funeral in order to
cover the grave He has very poor
9heIIer ana must "oIh very Ii0i" III
order to dig a grave especially in such
a cold winter as this one, has been.
The bodies could be buried in the
spring. The cost would not be great
70 build vault in either one of the
cemeteries and it would be far more
convenient, pleasant, citifed. Why not
get busy and build suitable vault the
coming season.
