Brains and ability-that's what
counts. Experience is also a valuable
adjunct. Miss Anna Norborg, aspirant
for the office of county treasurer, has
all these and many other qualifications
which commend her to this very i'm
portant office in the county's affairs.
Miss Norborg has been a faithful
deputy in this office during the past
four years. She has greeted the pub
lie during all thi slime with a uniform
courtey and gracious manner which
have won friends from everywhere.
AS to her ability to handle the work,
she knows all the ins and outs of the

her sincerity. You can make no mis-
take at the approaching election by
