little boy in ono OF the smaller com.

walk and play As others do. He wa
a hopeless cripple. as far as his PSF.

twisted legs would not permit him "a
enjoy the pleasures Of childhood. and
he had no prospect OF growing into q
good and useful American citizen
The Red Cross nurseexamined him
and declared that an operation would
cure him. However, his parents were
too poor to care for the expense OF
the operation, although physicians
were found who were willing to prac.
tically give their services Conse,
quently the Red Cross stepped in and
paid the necessary minimum ex.
penses. To day the boy is riding a
bicycle and playing as other boys do,
He will never forget what he owes 10
the nation and to the Red Cross He
will become a worthy citizen of the
land. This is but one example OF
what the Fremont county chapter of

4 PAPER That
Does Not B6ost
:. It's Owner

An unususi hing o-cHs:ed IN this
campaign which You may not have
noticed stnce-it xas by the
Record offlce people until after the
eiection sss over, -
While The Record has said mum.
Der rof nfcs eAings about all the csndi-
dates on the Republican Ticket from
President Harding, Gov. Shoup Sena-
tor Nicholson. the state and county
candidates down to coroner it has not
in an editorial mentioned the candi-
dacy Of Guy U Hardy for Congress. In
no way has The Record boosted his
candidacy except through limited
amount of space in the advertising
columns, such AS any candidate can
buy A very few news clippings from
other ppaers have been run. but not
many, and entirely on their news
merit
We believe that this is unusual. II
has not been entirely intentional and
may have been partially thru over
sight and because OF the fact that Mr.
Hardy has been away from home mos.
OF the time and the writers on the
paper have been pretty busy with 9th
er matters -.
But 1t carries out policy that Mr.
Hardy has always insisted on about
The Record office. 1t is quite the
common thing where men interested
in politics own newspapers that the
newspaper becomes a sort of boosting
organ for the owner But not so in
this case, Mr.. Hardy has always Civ
en- instruction that his movements
and doings he sparingiy mentioned in
The Record and that the paper should
never carry the air of being self.
boosting organ.
We may have carried these instruc-
tions to the extreme limit on this oc,
casion but II is a fact apparent to all
that Mr. Hardy was the only candidate
on the Republican ticket this year for
whom the writer's on The Record did
not do some editorial exorting.
Mr. Hardy stated early in the cam.
paign that he would not make any per.
sonal effort to Influence single vbte
in this community on his own case
and that he would leave this county
entirely to his friends. So The Rec.
ord has merely been carrying out that
plan. That his friends have taken
care of the local situation pretty well
Is indicated by the vote In this county
which gives him a. majority of 1912.

remarkable experience with four
convicts wno attacked another prisoner
shortly after 1880 O'Clock Monday
morning and beat him up badly while
on their way to the stone quarries.
just beyond the north wall of the
prison inclosure.
AS the guards were taking the men
out to begin their daily tasks one of
the prisoners, who works in the hog
yard. stepped out OF the line and went
into a small shed in the yard 10

taking up his customary employment,
While the guards weEc not looking
four other convicts dropped out Of the
line and followed abe frst one intn
the shed. There they seized the first
man. and beat him over the. head
with club until he was insensible,
bound his leg and feet with bsling
wire and left him for dead The
victim OF the assault. whose name
was not learned. suddenly regained
consciousness and yelled for help. His
cries attracted the attention of other
members, OF the qusrTying gang and
several of them ran into the shed 70

During The melee and excitement
