Mr.. s. M. Konkel, ~
Springfield. Colo. y
Dear Editor ,s,
beg pardon for my seeming
neglect to pay my subscription
to the Herald. / could not con.
vince myself that ! was so much
in arrears. l was sure paid tc
July. 18. 1919.
l was with you in Springfield
February last. and expected tc
pay for tho Herald again as in
former times when I paid my
taxes; but your reminder made
me look up my old receipt, aud
they corresponded. Dhen l look
ed up my correspondence with
Judge Doughty to make sure. 80
| am convinced l must have
slept a year, or at least lost all
my reconking for that length oi
time.
So, TO make matters right,
will enclose my check for $500
to make good until July ts. 1920
as your statement says to do. A
little advance will make up for
arrears.
Now, Bro. Konkel. l want to
say that l look for the Herald as
regular as / do my meals, in or
der to keep tab on what is going
on in Springfield and the coun.
ty. I am much pleased with the
progress in all lines that are
pushed along by the Great Coun.
ty Builder.
From the splendid rains you
have had and are having now the
prospects are certainly encour-
'.geing. :
l had fully intended to have
made you another visit before
this time, bht this awful war
has upset all my plans; so l have
lost out, not only in my da,es.
bat on all my calculations.
My best wishes are with you
all for health ard prosperity, aud
an early end of the war.
Yours most resp.

Z Mrs Mordica ,

1t strikes US Mrs. Mordica
comes with the strongest endorse
ment for the impor tant Office to
which she aspires-county super
intendent of schools, OF anyone
so far as at present advised who
has ever held that impo rtant
office in this county.
The endorsement is the bold
ing of first grade in Kansas-
now made to take the place of a
state certificate, the first grade
comprising twenty-five branches
and is thus equal to state cer-
tificate in Colorado.
Mrs. Mordica was raised in the
country. taught school ten years
in the country in Kansas and
two (now teaching) in Colorado.
and hence understands rural
school conditions, which is a
qualification wanted as suoelin-
tendent of the schools of Baca
county.
Mrs. Mordica was nominated
! at the primaries for county su-
perintendent on the democratic
ticket, and will appreciate your
upport and any, favors shown.
, A strong reason why she IS en-
titled to special consideration,
outside of her 1nequaled qualiA-
/ cations, is that she is woman;
and III accordance with the In
dustries War board women
should be employed in all places
I pos sible for them to fill during
the war.
The slogan of the war board is
, that able bodied men should be
lin the service OR in the field-or
othe, wise usefully employed
where woman are not available
when they depend upon
employment fora living.
/ To be completely in accord
. with the request of the Indus
/, tries War board, vote for women
lthis year where you have q
chance and they are qualified to
/, ill the place. ~
