ARE YOU ENTITLED
TO Wear 4 Liberty Bond Button?

If not, better get badge of patriotism.
How much worse is pro- German or an |. w. w.
than man who is able to buy bond and does not?
Surely, Mr.. Liberal citizen, you do not want your
name to be associated with such these. Then why
don't you get right?
True, Seward county is over the top-but you can
have no pride in the fact If everyone did you did
how near would we have come to going over?
Just because someone else dug up does not release
you from your obligation to the Government. You
are today justas deeply indebted as before? Will you
come thru and stand with the men and women who
took Seward county over the top will you still hang
to your dollars and let your acquaintancess talk
about it?
Get your head to working Everyone is checked
up. You can't sneak on the deal. It's either buy
don't buy, and everybody will know it.
What are you going to do?
The Boy Scouts start work Saturday,
April 27 The boys want to get their
medals. If you have not bought let

SHARP COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
People Of Sharp County Are Urged To

To the People of Sharp County
A short time ago ] noticed an ar
ticle in your local paper, signed by
your county Judge, in which he
stated that Sharp county has no
county health officer, as he had not
approved the appointee OF the
ooard, DR.. Thos j. Woods.
Under authority vested In the
state board Of health by the act
enacted by the legislature, the state
board appointed Dr. Thos, j. Woods
as county health officer of Sharp
county. Under this appointment
Or, Woods discharged the duties
)f county health officer, and was
later recognized by the circuit
court Of your county as the duly
constituted and legally qualified
nealth officer by virtueof decision
handed down by said court COM
pensatine Dr., Woods for services
rendered as county health officer.
When DR.. Woods tenure Of Office
expired he was again appointed by
the state board Of health, but Judge
Horn declined to approve his up.

health officer has been elected and

p ibertv Bond And Not Fit to Black the Shoes OF

of the county court" and another
reading OF the law which says that
the county health officer shall re-
ceiye for his services an annual
salary to be fixed by the county
court"
1t is the contention of DR.. Woods,
if we understood him correctly in
county court a few days ago, that
the appointments of the state board
of health have been upheld by a
former attorney general and higher
courts in other parts of the state,
even though these appointments
we're not satisfactory to the county
courts, unless a charge of incompe-
tency could be preferred against
the choice of the state board, 1t is
his contention also that the matter
was settled so far as the county
court in this county is concerned,
when the circuit court, Judge
Meeks we believe, allowed DIR.
Woods, on appeal from the county
court, the amount of claim for
services as county health officer,
after the claim had been disallowed
in the county court.
One or the other of these claims
is necessarily incorrect, and we
feel that a great majority of Sharp
county citizens will, without either
malice or prejudice in the matter,
join this paper in the hope
that both sides of the controversy
will allow the matter to be definite
ly determined, and gotten out of
the way and off of hand.
In county court last week Judge
Horn disallowed a claim presented
by DR.. Woods for remuneration for
his services as county health Of
fcer. At that time we understood
DR.. Woods to say he would appeal
to the circuit court. We hope that
is true. Then we hope that If both
sides are not satisfied with the de-
cision Of the circuit court and will.
ing to abide by it, the question will
proceed to the supreme court for a
settlement.
We are sure Judge Horn would
not want to keep DR.. Woods from
filling a position to which he is lie.
eally entitled, and we are sure Dr.
Woods would not want to proceed
in an office to which he has no le-
gal claim,
This controversy has now been
going on for years, and is a disturb
ing element in the county. A
speedy determination of the merits
of the case is the best thing for all
concerned, and this includes the
general public.

GRAINS

CHICAGO, May 29.-Lowest prices yet this season resulted in the corn market today from prospects of bump CT new crops Of virtually everything but corn.
 The finish was unsettled to A to 15s cents down, with June S133R and July Sl.35 to S1.351s. Oats closed un- changed to 7s cent higher. The out come in provisions varied from oJ cents decline to rise of 5 cents.
 Indications of a period of higher temperatures and of fair weather de sirable at present for corn growth added in a material degree to bearish sentiments based largely on the excel lent general crop outlook and on re- ports of big country supplies Of coarse grain. Month end evening up of busi- ness in the May option gave an ap- pearance of relative firmness to oats.
 Provisions as a rule finally weak ened in consequence of lower values on hogs.
