My qualifications for tine dis

are unquestioned. invite investi.
CATION.
/ am familiar with the proceed
ings of the court and the business
of the office.
The experience which / have &C.
quired during the past five years as
deputy clerk and master of the chan
Gerry court has given me knowledge
of what it takes and what is required
to be an efficient clerk of the
court. Experience counts.
No office in the courthouse, ex-
cept it be that of clerk and master,
requires of the incumbant a higher
degree of competency and efficien-
cy than does that of circuit court
clerk.
The dispatch Of the business of
the court depends largely upon the
clerk, and his efficiency prevents
mistakes and promotes the dispatch
of business. The efficiency of the
clerk is appreciated by the judge,
attorney general, the lawyers and
all who have business in the court.
Copying or writing minutes in
term is not all the work or duties Of
the clerk. Besides preparing the
minutes of the court, which he is
required to do and which should be
done in legal style and form, he col
lects the revenue of the court, such
as state and county tax on litigation,
fines, sheriff fees and all costs, and
he also prepares and issues many
court papers, subpoenas, attach
ments, injunctions, publication Or
ders, etc., hence the necessity of his
having knowledge of legal forms,
rules of procedure and practice,
Again experience counts.
Should it be my honor to be
elected Circuit Court Clerk, l as
sure the people of Weakley county
that l shall faithfully serve, attend
to and take care of the duties and
business of the office, to the best of
my ability and with a devotion to

SCHOOL TAX RATE
TO REMAIN SAME

There was just one dissenting
vote at the citizens meeting held at
the court house last Friday night,
when the question was put as to
leaving the rate 80 GEMS on tie
800 for the Dresden special school
district.
The rate for school purposes in this
special school district has been 80
cents for some years., but with the
increased assessment it was thought
best to have an expression Of the
tax payers, and two called meetings
were held for this purpose. At the
first meeting there was considera-
bic opposition, but at last Friday
nights meeting little opposition de-
Reloped, it being explained at the
first meeting that more money to
run the school is necessary, besides
the further fact that an addition is
needed to the school building to ac-
commodate the increasing number Of
children knocking for admittance
to our school.
It was shown that the cost of run
ming the school for last year was
$4,956.36. This was for the white
school. The assessed valuation of
the property embraced in the special
school district is 81 ,247,512, which,
at 80 cents on the 500, will yield
$3,825.54. Added to this will be
fund of 5000 derived from polls
and high school fund, $3.50, togetn-
err with $3,570.00 as prorata on $40
pupils at 81, making grand total
of $8,O54.54. But there must be
taken from this grand total the ex-
penses of running our cOlored
school and a debt of some $1,000
incurred during the past school year.
This, of course, will leave small
margin above actual running ex-
penses, but, as stated above, the
time has come when more room must
be made for the increased number
of pupils seeking schooling here,
The building was over run last year
So it is necessary that a larger
sum be at the disposal of the school
board than heretofore. The figures
given above were compiled by a
committee representing the citizens
and composed of DR.. H. S. Copeland,
Clerk Jeter and Trustee Moore.
The owner of the Enterprise who
is tax payer on three places in
town and 94-acre farm near town,
is perfectly willing for the 9O-cent
rate to stand until sufficient fund
is in hand to enlarge our shool build
ing and take care of pressing needs
of the school. While he has only
one child of school age, there are
others here with many children, and
as one gentleman expressed it, we
want these children who are the play
mates and associates Of our children
to have the very best educational
advantages.

All Proud of Louis !.

Every Republican in the state is
proud of the Service mans" candi-
date on the Republican state ticket,
Corporal Louis L. Collins, candidate
for lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Collins, who is son Of the late
Judge L. W. Collins of st. Cloud,
made a splendid record in the army. If
he had been inclined to use his influ-
ence, it is surmised that Mr. Collins
might easily have secured commits
sion, but he preferred to take his
place in the ranks. This shows the
stuff of which the next lieutenant
governor is made.
"He is one of the highest type of
young Americans, thoroughly quail
fled to fill the office for which he has
been nominated and to which he will
be elected. Mr.. Collins is a credit to
himself, to the state, to the party and
to his country" -International Falls

Big Sisters" Club
Formed to Help
Care for Riddles

Hampden County, Mass, has some
thing new in the club line. 1t is big
Sisters" club for the girls who care
for younger brothers and sisters, and
it has been organized by one of the
boys and girls club leaders in Hamp-
den County.
The idea is to help girls VINO must
care for brothers and sisters under 5
years of age, to help them do it better
and have more fun at it. Contrary to
most theories, the little girls who are
in the club like to care for the babies.
They say babies are more fun than
dolls. The real interest which they
have in their charges and the feeling
of responsibility they have toward
them makes it appear that the Big
Sisters Club is going to grow to big
thing in this county.
When the idea of starting a club of
this sort was launched certain girls
who had made good in the home econ
omics and canning clubs of past years
the clubs organized by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State agricultural colleges-were
called together and the plan explained
to them. At the second meeting ev-
eryone came back and brought three
more. At the meeting this summer a
Red Cross nurse gave demonstrations
to the girls on the care and feeding of
children.
Each girl who joins this club has
to promise to help in dressing and
bathing the family baby at least four
times week. In addition to this, she
must aid in at least two of long list
of other things that babies require,
such as specially prepared food, occa-
sional lulling to sleep, and safeguards
against i'll health.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM
BARN ON GEO. A. BELL S FARM STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING, KILLIAG 8 COWS
WINDOW PANES SMASHED AND CROW
ING CROPS RUINED.

A heavy hail and thunder storm
caused a loss, which win run up into
thousands of dollars to property and
growing crops, on Friday afternoon in
this county and city.
A light shower fell at first which
was followed by a terrific thunder
gust and hail The hail pelted the
shrubbery and vegetation until it was
literally moved even with the ground.
The hail was as large as walnuts
and covered the ground like snoWs
Window panes were smashed. The
heaviest loss sustained in this city was
the florist, j. Grattan Doyle. Very.
few good panes Of glass remain in his
hot houses, thousands being smashed
to pieces.
The scope of the storm was not over.
mile wide. At Spring Mills no hail
was noticed but the down fall of rain
was very heavy.
Lightning struck the bank barn on
the George A. Bell farm, on the Union
town road, shattering it very badly
and killing three COWS. The stroke
entered the center coupla and ran
along the large sleeper to end of the
barn, where it came down at the over
shoot, knocking down four COWS, one
revived but three were found to be
dead Three mules were standing
in their stalls, all being thrown down
and some of their harness removed
from their backs. The only injury was
! one mule cut on the nose in a few
places. Nineteen years ago the barn on
this same farm was struck by light
ming and burned
