LOCAL COMMENT

Next Monday we vote to nominate
candidates at our party primaries but
SO far as our state officers are con-
cerned we actually elect them in effect
as a republican nomination Is eQuiva-
lent to an election to a state office In
Iowa. About the only contest on the
state ticket that is of any consequence
is the one for secretary of state. Allen,
who is responsible for the woeful delay
In issuing number plates for auto IL
censes and neglect to collect auto
licenses is seeking fourth term. he
now has his son and did have his
daughter on his office pay roll and
should never be nominated. Ram
say, of Belmond, should be nominated
for secretary OF state.
&
In the county offices the candidates
are mostly we'll known. We are bound
to have a good board of supervisors
whoever is nominated. ]. l.. Wylie, OF
Gilman, has no opposition and should
make one of the most competent
supervisors who ever served this
county. He will succeed Nichols next
January. With the retirement of men
like Lynch and Nichols better things
can be expected. John Long, re-
tired farmer living in this city but for
many years an influential farmer OF
Eden township is contesting with W.
H. Jones to see whether he or Jones
will be supervisor a year from next
January. Jones has made an efficient
supervisor and Long was an efficient
township trustee and a progressive
"a.
county can't lose whoever wins the
nomination.
1t is unfortunate that some one
candidate for sheriff does not stand
out far ahead Of the field of candidates
so as to cause voters to center logically
upon the same man as the most effi-
Gent. AS it is people will vote largely
upon personal acquaintance and no man
can today pick the winner with any
assurance of success.
This years primary will hardly De
much larger than a caucus so little In
terest is taken in politics during these
war times. The voters generally,
however, should know that the pri-
mary election is to be held next Mon
day.
It is difficult to see why there should
be a coal famine next winter but the
fuel administration announces thaI
there will be one and none OF US who
can afford to take chances for tho war
will be our war by that time. United
States troops will be holding the lines
then with French and English in re-
serve and our munition factories VIII
have to be kept running whether we
have coal in our homes or not. Buy II
now and store it, That is the only sure
thing to do. Pile UP all the wood that
you can and burn as little coal as you
can.
The foods damage and annoyance
to the country club should be con-
sidered as additional rent chargeabie
to the cost of low ground. On higher
ground more cash rent might be neces-
sary but there would never need be
any food damage or interruption to
the use of the grounds during the sum-
mer season.

COUNTY PLEDGES $s6,416.se ON
QUOTA OF $a1,o5s.5s FOR THE
WAR FUND.
ONE COUNTRY TOWNSHIP AND
ONE CITY TOWNSHIP AND
All Other Township and City Districts
Pledged Either Their Minimum
Ward Oversubscribes 80 Per Cent of
the Total Oversubseripton.

With hnal reports lacking from only
one country precinct and one in the
city, the result shows that the county
again has gone over the top in a war
activity-this time for the Red Cross
war fund-about Is per cent. The
oversubscription Will be increased by
later and nnal totals. On e quota OF
$31,o55.5s the county has pledged
s3s,4l6.ss. an oversubscription OF s5,-
$3.50.
Bangor Is the only country precinct
that has not reported, and c. H. E.
Boardman, county chairman, altho IN
able to get report from that town
ship, understands that bereavement in
the family of the township chairman
has prevented the campaign being
completed. In the total used it has been
credited with its quota, which the
county chairman has been assured
would be raised.
The fourth district in the city, in
GLIDING the Fourth and Fifth wards,
has not yet raised its quota Of 50, 412.5+,
but is still working and is within 5000
of the minimum. It has reported to
the county chairman that It would raise
the quota, so it has been credited with
the minimum.
Others Up to Quota.
Every other township and city dis
trict has actually raised Its minimum
quota or oversubscribed it. Two coun-
try districts reported in only their
quotas. These townships were Eden
and Washington. All the others, in
GLIDING the first, second and third city
districts, reported pledges IN excess Of
their quotas.
The campaign in the Second ward,
according to the reports made to the
county chairman, Is the feature OF the
campaign. The Second ward pledged
Is per cent OF the total OF sSs, 1859.
and oversubscribed about 80 per cent
of the total oversubscription. Part of
this oversubscription is accounted for
in the fact that the Second ward chair
