To Hold County Court
 Each Month

Judge Barham has instituted a reform which will meet with the instant approval of everyone having business in that court, and a reform that should have been put into effect years ago.
 He will hold adjourned terms of the court once month, and more often when advisable.
 This will be appreciated by those doing work for the county and who are not able to wait three months for their money, as was often the case under the system provided by the law made when we were a frontier county and there was very little business to attend to.
 County Court met Monday anC held over today transacting the usual routine, the docket being light,

Great Advertiser Pays
 Tribute to Publishers.

Fred Mason. president of the Shredded Wheat Company, Mag are Falls, N. Y, in 2 speech . few days ago at Cleveland. paid . aspleAdid tribute to the pub fishers of the United States. He said that the unseltish patriot ism of American newspaper publishers was the most inspir- ing thing with which he had come in contact during the war.
 The Shredded Wheat Com- pany had made contracts fer $<00, 900 worth of advertising when MT. Hoover made his ap- peal for food conservation. " MT. Mason said. We could not sup ply our dealers, so we were con- pelled to cancel the $400, 900 worth of contracts. 1 expected . storm of protests from the newspapers.
 Almost every publisher whose contract had been cancelled wrote to me commenting our action in discontinuing all advertisin g during the war.
 Every one of these letters gave expression to .. lofty pa triotism and sound business op- timism. A finer demonstration of loyal Amsricanism has never come under my observation.
 "I take of my hat to the American newspaper publisher. He was a real patriot when it it cost large sums to be patriotic. |"
