The Country Gentleman:-But the
farmer who spends money on his home
for sanitary and other improvements
is not merely catering to a luxurious
taste. His home is really a part of
his business and the improvements
made in it adds to the efficiency of
the whole establishment. The hours
saved in lighting stoves, pumping
water, and filling lamps, can be pro-
iitably spent in outdoor work. II the
farm women and children are to help
relieve the labor shortage in the field,
their traditional burdens in the home
must be lightened. Furthermore, it
Is not easy to draw the line between
outlays for the home comforts and
for direct farm efficiency. The same
engine may create light for house and
barn, supply water for house and stock
give power for a washing machine and
also for cream separator.

FARMERS PROTEST ROAD
CHANGES

A number of the farmers who own
land through which the Lincoln High
way would run if some very radical
changes proposed by the engineers
are carried out have organized o
fight the changes as proposed. The
engineer from the state department
was here this morning and all of the
farmers of this vicinity who are in
crested were here to make their pro-
tests. They claim that they will not
submit to having their farms cut up
in The way proposed without fight
and it appears they mean it. Several
farms are cut by the plans laid down
IN such way as to make the land
which has been in one regular tract
n two irregular pieces, thus making
it necessary to have more fences,
gates, etc, and Inconvenience the sew
eral land owners in different ways.
In some of the cases at least, it is not
to be wondered at that the owners
are kicking. Either the Highway
plans will have to be changed or con-
siderable time will elapse before the
new route is permanently establish
ed as the farmers intend to fight the
matter through the courts they say,
which will take time. -Observer.

He is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton as he is of the progressive type

chinist for the c. &, N. w. r. r. in
Mo. Valley since Sept, 1884, was re-
tired March 81, 1919, as the whistle

bank, who was machinists' foreman

esteem by his fellow workmen. Dur
ing this 80 years that Mr.. Burbank
was foreman, Mr.. Coe was on his pay
roll and he paid him a high tribute
for his worth as man and mechanic.
Mr.. Coe is over 20 years old and is
retired on substantial pension. That
is the way the C. & N. w. r. r.
treats their old and trusted employees.

him in such substantial way and
! that he was glad to know that such q
/, good feeling existed between himself

Yesterday was IN ideal election
day, and the many friends q She
various candidates Were busy from
the time the polls opened until Che
l,st minute Of closing.
When the votes were counted IL
was found that L. R. Pike, Rep, had
been elected mayor by SO majority;
"A. B. Hosbrook, Rep, assessor by
1876 majority; ]. S. McGavren, DEM,
treasurer by 10 majority; Geo. Malsi,
Rep, councilman at-large, by ma
jority Of 1911; w. H. Halsey, Rep.
councilman-at-largs by a majority
Of 81. K. E. Brundige, Rep, was
elected councilman from the first
ward by 81 3. NJ. Rhodabeck, Rep.
councilman second ward, by SO, and
VIM. Miller, Rep, councilman third
ward by q majority.
A glance ct the above will show
that the city administration is thor
oughly Republican, with the excep-
Mr.. Foss and Mr.. McGavren, Re-
publican and Democratic candidates
for treasurer, are cashier and presi-
dent, respectively, of the First Ma
tional Bank, SO, the fight between
these two was hot one. Mr.. Foss at
tributes his defeat to the fact that he
bet several boxes Of candy on his
election with the young ladies in the
bank, and he thinks that, in order to
win the candy, they worked against
him. However, Mr.. McGavren was
the only Democrat able to nose under
the wire.
With the tickets in, the field, the
race for mayor was an interesting
one Several surprises developed,
and likewise several disappoint-
ments. When the per cents are fig
ured, it will be seen that the three
candidates were fairly close. u. R.
Pike received 80 per cent of all the
votes cast; John Shelton SO per cent,
and Thos. Cusack 30 per cent.
