James e. Trlly Was Elected Munich
pal Judge by Majority of Ill
Votes In the County.

completed this morning when County

Of state the vote in the county on
Justice of the Supreme Court, State Su-
perintendent and Judge of the Munich
pal Court. Kenosha county gave its
vote to Walter d. Owen for Justice of
@e Supreme Court and the official
count Of the votes shows that Owen
had 1855 to 2502 for Marshall. Owen

districts was surprisingly large. The
figures from this county will 90 quite
n ways toward increasing the final ma
iority by which the new Justice is
elected Mr. Owen has been Attorney

is to resign this office later in the
year and his successor will be named
by Governor Philip before the first of

total Of 5688 votes in the state. The

Bradford, Superintendent of the schools
of Kenosha, and she received total
Of 39S votes in the county. More than
$50 of these votes were cast in the
city where many people wrote in the
name Of Mrs Bradford. 1t is notable
that she received more votes from men
than from the women voters of the
county.
Robert L. Cundy of Salem had a long
lead in the official count for the office
Of County superintendent The final
count showed that while he did not
have a majority of the votes cast he had

Cleary 1876, Kate Mahon, $50.

elbow can anyone object to their
sons and daughters existing? They
must know that it is the privilege and
the duty of those who can, to serve
their country, and if they have no
patriotic sentiment in regard to it, they
ought to be ashamed to shirk their
plain duty and let some one else do
their share for them. Every one should
do his part at a time like this.
"More than that, what good would

PLAN FOR RECORD CROP THAT WILL BE
NEEDED NEXT YEAR.

We are inclined to view the present era of high
prices as conducting entirely to the benefit of the
farmer and TO regard him as a very fortunate in
dividual. True, he is more fortunate then he
has been in times past, but while he has been
relieved of some burdens he has been saddled
with others. Not all the high prices have bene-
fitted him. We are too apt to view the farmer
as living entirely on the farm and off its prod
ucts. In one sense this is true, but in another
sense not. While his means comes from the
farm, much of the means must be exchanged
for commodities that do not come from the farm.
The farmer must wear clothes, and these must
come from the manufacturer and the merchants.
He must have farm implements, and these he
cannot make. He must have wagons aud bug
gies and If he is TO enjoy life his city brother,
automobiles, and the prices Of these articles are
soaring in company with the products of his
farm. But what we started out TO remark was
that the farmers can in large measure meet and
overcome the effects of the high prices of farm
implements by a well planned system Of cooper
alton. And 1t looks now as though this plan will
have TO be adopted. The demand for war sup
plies has diverted the energies Of many large
factories, and shortage Of farm implements is
freely predicted
In this event cooperation in the purchase and
use of the more costly farm tools will prove not
only practicable but profitable. There are many
tools used on the farm, where one implement
may be made 10 do the work of several farms.
Every farmer knows what they are, and IL is
unnecessary 10 enumerate them. We merely
would impress the fact that wherever these can
be owned and operated comparatively, 1t is not
only economy TO do So but IL Is also of real bene-
fit 10 the country in this crisis. Every ounce Of
energy that can be diverted from the manufac-
ture Of farm supplies can be devoted TO the man.
ufacture Of government supplies.
Every community in our country should give
this matter serious consideration this fall while
planning for that record crop that will be needed
next year.

THROUGH CRAFTINESS PUBLIC'S ATTEN
TON Is DIVERTED.

The sounding of the deathknell of the demo-
cratic party in Texas, the writing Of its obituary

only been eXtravagant, but has refused TO make

Undoubtedly all this Is true. and yet Il does
not foretell the death of the democratic party in
Texas The same thing was true of the demo
cratic party's administration Of national affairs.
That party went into power with a declaration
,on its lips that the republicans had created use
less offices and that the democrats, II given an
an opportunity, would cut down the payrolls.
From the day they assumed control of the gov
eminent the democrats increased the number Of
offices and commissions and also disregarded the
spirit of the civil service law in filling them.
They did that before the war made new offices
necessary
But when election time came around they
were crafty enough 10 direct public attention
away from this and numerous other violations
of campaign pledges. BY making new false rep
reservations and new promises they diverted dis
cussion from the receptions of the past They

long line of other offenses which IL would be near
