Village Caucus

The caucus called for Monday even
ing to select candidates on q Citizens
ticket for Mayor, Trustees and Clerk
for the village Of Roy, was well at
tended, rs citizens taking. active part
in its deliberations.
The caucus was held in the S-A. Of
flee as Judge Foster had forgotten it
and his place was closed.
The decision of the present officers
to all run on a ticket together was
modified to an agreement that those
not nominated should refuse to be
candidates on any ticket. in conces-
sion to a protest hat the caucus did
not want the past record Of the ad-
ministration as an ISSUE.
The candidates selected were:
F. S. Brown, Mayor. f. A. Roy,
AL. s. Hanson, j. w.. Beck and j.
Floersheim, Trustees and Frank
Schultz, Clerk.
The members Of the. old board, r.
Lopez and Irwin Ogden. are congratu-
lating themselves that. they have been
excused from all duty and liability in
future, and it is likely there win be
no opposition to the, Citizens ticket.
The business interests and political
complexion of the new board are well
balanced and the ticket should be very
satisfactory to all. The future Of
the water works is still in the balance.
! There is as good prospects as ever
that the well may be success II Il

lot of credit, if il is not, then it is
np to them to devise means to supply
the town with what money there ID

Tractor
Demonstration

The big sale and tractor demonstra-
ton, widely advertised by the Floer-
sheim Co.,, Monday attracted a crowd
to Roy which has not been equalled
IN long time, and entertained them
all day. The sale went well but the
prices were all bargain prices aside
from the years time that went with
it, and many farmers got machinery
and furniture at very low rates.
The tractor demonstration was held
cut on DR.. Browns farm half mile
north Of town and interested large
crowd all day. The ground was in
fine condition for blowing, despite the
recent hard freeze and both mold
board and disc plOws did fine work.
It was plain that the Moline, or other
tractor in the hands Of am expert
driver would. do more and better
work than in charge Of novice, and
the lesson taught was that you should
know how to care for and drive your
tractor if you want it to do its part.
The little Moline is a clever trick and
has many points to appeal to the prac
ticaf faVmers The price is the worst
feature about It and that is no high
er than most other things. The price
is in q way guaranty of stability,
Other tractors were in evidence On
the streets and it was a show that
would have been impossible 10 years
ago

THE FORUM


Editor Spanish-American:
Since comment on the Flu seems in
vogue, | will try to express my opin-
ion, not only of Flu but of the good
work done by almost everybody and
especially the Red Cross workers.
When / think back over the time
we had a year ago with this same
deamon of destruction, can't help
but feel that the world is getting
better after all.
Whether this was brought about
by the war, cannot say, but certain
it is that good many of the boys
who went across and fought for the
great ideal, have extended their
neighbor-line considerably. Not only
them, but others, men and women,
who could stay at home in comfort and
comparative safety, who have gone
out among comparative strangers to
care for them, risked sickness and
sometimes their lives, and the chance
Of carrying the dread germs home to
their own families, doing all this for
humanity's sake, looks to me like
extending the boundary line Of the
neighborhood quite a bit. May the
time come in the near future when
there will be no line, but string Of
neighbors that will reach clear around
the world.
AS to the Flu, there are a good
many ways to be careful, and while
/ believe no one should take unnec-
essary risks, believe in getting out
and helping the less fortunate ones
to fight il off. This may not be the
easiest way or the safest way but
it is the best way for your own soul
and for che good Of humanity.

D. K. B. Sellers sends us q letter
suggesting that the Democrats get
up a fund and hire an editor; then pay
the rest to the local papers of the
state to publish his dope and have it
sent out a propaganda.
If the Hon. d. X. B. could have all
the propaganda any of us country pa
pers baled and sent to him every week
he could maybe appreciate the delir-
ious joy it gives US to contemplate
getting a few more sheets week.
No my dear D. X. B. There are
some substitutes for brains scattered
throughout the state and some Of them
are to be found in the Offices Of the
Democratic newspapers. Let's just
let these editors have the privilege Of
writing line or so Of their own copy
once in a while.
If we must have machine-made
stuff, at least stereotype it and save
sthe rural press the expense Of setting
the type.
A comprehension of the detail Of
running rural print-shop would save
many an ill-advised attempt at sup
| plying them with brains.

The American Press Association is
out with a circular mging that ad-
vertising for candidates and parties
in the coming campaign be charged
for same as other advertising and
gives good reasons why it should and
must be.
1t is certain that editors should not
work for nothing in campaigns but
it is also fact that if they did not
in many cases only the rich could be
candidates and graft would be a ne
cessity to recoup them for the cost Of
election. We suspect we shall con-
tinue to let our Judgment and con-
science dictate who and what we shall
support and whether we shall charge
for it or not.

The S-A. new Office is at last fn-
ished and the carpenter sent on to
other jobs. We have made a place
for everything and have everything
in its place and as soon as we get to
know where the new place is all will
be lovely. We still have many things
to get in the way of equipment but
we have the room to put it and a

Our wheat crop will pay for it and

prises that promise great things for

The one, a united evangelistic eff

other, church attendance campaign.
For the information of those who
fear that this is Christian union, /
wish to state that these efforts are
merely business arrangements and
have nothing to do with the settle-

who have gone into these movements
