to adapt these principles to the spe-
cial needs of the stations large and
varied farm enterprises, so as 70

Geo. Leisenring for County Treasurer

Geo. Leisenring for County Treasurer
1t has been suggested by the
friends of Geo. Leisenring of Ellis,
that he would be a nideal candidate
fer Treasurer of Ellis County and the
of Hays
He is one of the oldest settlers OF
Ellis County, having been living here
for nearly forty years; was postmas-
ter at Ellis for eight years, is one of
the foremost business men of the
county, IS honest, a good citizen and
is thoroughly qualified for the posi-
ton. We believe Ellis would back
him to the last man, regardless OF
political affiliation. The job IS looking
for a good man and we believe Mr..
Leisenring would fill the bill admir-
ably
