c. w. FINLEY FOR
REGISTER OF DEEDS

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of C. w. Finley as a can
didate for the office of Register Of
Deeds to succeed himself.
We are really glad that Charlie
has again decided to be candidate.
He has been holding back waiting to
ace if some other Democrat wanted
Il. but a. none have come out, he has
entered the race.
You might search the country over
and not find a better register Of
deeds than Charley Finley. He is on
the job as steady as though there was
important business to be transacted
every minute. We have visited the
court house hundreds Of times in the
past year and a half and only once
did we find Mr.. Finley out Of the Of
fee, and that time he had gone to
the post office to mail some papers
and came back before we left the
building. He has record for "Stay-
ing with it" that is equalled by few
and exceeded by none.
And he is thorough in his>work.
His records are up to the minute at
all times and his familiarity with the
county and records enable him to
put his hand on anything he may be
asked for.
When county has an official as
faithful and as efficient as Mr.. Finley
it seems to us that it would be poor
policy to make a change. He is
courteous, capable and steady, and
what more could be desired? In the
past he has proven formidable OPP
ponent of those aspiring to the Of
fee and his election should be con-
coded.
In his hands the records of the
county are perfectly safe, and that is
a very important matter as a slight
error in copying deed, mortgage or
lease might lead to serious conse-
quences.

WITH OUR EMERGENCY
HOME DEMONSTRATION
AGENT
By Miss Ellen Nelson

The public market for the club
children opened Saturday at $3.50,
and closed promptly at l o'clock.
This market is for the children of
Liberal and Seward county at large,
who are gardening to raise the food
production of our county. The OBJ
ject of the market is to eliminate
waste and to give the children who
belong to the United States School
Garden Club a chance to sell their
products to buyers. We do not want
children to peddle from door to door
but to put their things on the market
and let the housewife come and buy
the product fresh from the garden.
Even if we have a garden of our own
it is we'll to come to the market
Wednesday and Saturday mornings
and see what is for sale, because
there will be vegetables which we do
not raise. Tomato and sweet pota-
to plants have been sold in quantities.
The market is located just south of
the city hall under the shade trees.
We invite the public to come and
see the market, even if you do not
buy vegetables. We want the chill
dren to learn business methods, be
courteous, and to learn that the best
quality and quantity sells first, and
that overcharging is a community
wrong, effecting not only themselves
but hurting the entire group. We
encourage the boys and girls to save
their money and keep bank &C
count. We are teaching thrift in
this course for no one will have any
thing to give unless he first learn to
earn and save.
There are, however, sales at the
market, the money of which goes to
the Red Cross. Those are from Red

SUGAR SHORTAGE Is

Since the pinch Of the sugar

There is vast quantities of sugar

be obtained elsewhere by one-third

Why Saver
Why are Americans urged to save
sugar?
They must meet the Allied shortage;
hey must release ships formerly used
IN the sugar trade TO carry soldiers

make up the loss of beet sugar lands
and factories captured or destroyed
by the Germans. in Northern France
and Italy. Ships which would have
