Qualification Period Closed
Last Thursday; 20 In
Want Columns.
Herman Cravens and Alvin
A. Grubbs Without
Opposition.
Race For Sheriff and Regis
ter Takes Centers Of
Attraction.

The qualification period having
closed last Thursday, and the county
fair in progress this week, 20 as
pirants for county office, subject to
the action of the Democratic party
at the primary election on Saturday,
October 1st, rounded into the home
stretch and are beating their way
fun speed to the wire.
Cards and cards, and some more
cards, were strewn to the people and
also to the four winds at the county
fair grounds this week; every candi-
date has a full stock of announce
ment cards, and is making good use
of them; also good use of their talk
ing ability and candidate spells.
You can't escape a candidate at the
county fair, and they'll even chase
you to town--no use to leave the
fair grounds to get away from them
Thursday when the qualifying
period came to a close Herman r..
Cravens for county court clerk re-
newed the smile that never wears
off; no one even dared to come out
against him, and he was declared
the Democratic nominee Sgt.
Cravens is an overseas veteran of
the World War; he lost leg in the
battle, but came out with the ability
to conduct the office OF county court
clerk, and everyone seemed to
recognize 1t.
Alvin A. Grubbs has made good
trustee, and no one thought of try
ing to oust him at the coming pri-
poary Ha wac dacIarad the nominee
for that office.
Joe Routon was without opposi-
ton for county superintendent of
schools, and will continue to serve
in that capacity with the unusual
ability with which he has conducted
the affairs in the past.
In every other department, though,
there is competition-lots of compe-
tition, and things are warming up
and getting warmer. Amos Story is
pretty well assured of a second term
as county sheriff, but Genie Max
well and Jim Holden are pushing
him, as they have pushed before
Jim Lamb, L. & N. shop man is. a
candidate this time, and is making
a good impression. He'll hurt some
body.
The real thing comes off, though,
in the big register race. There are
so many entries they can't all get
up to the wire; just an even dozen,
barely falling short OF the unlucky
thirteen, and thus they all have an
equal chance-all in luck, |. e. until

Civic Details.

| Tuesday night the city council met
| in extraordinary session, all members
being present except DR.. c. A. Love
| 1t was a meeting preliminary to the
regular monthly meeting which will
be held on Tuesday night of next
week, and a general round-table dis
cussion oil civic matters INDUCED in
Several new ordinances were in
troduced on first reading and referred
to the ordinance committee to have
ready for second and final reading
on next Tuesday night. The list
includes an ordinance establishing
| a means of remuneration to the
| city for use of its streets by trans
tents who pay no taxes or privileges
here, such as circuses; another circus
ordinance, amendment to the revenue
act, to establish a parade privilege
revenue; an ordinance to prohibit
| tractors from operating on any
streets of the city with lugs attach
ed and within the fire limits even
without the lugs; an ordinance regu
| lating the movement of heavy traffic
over the streets of the city, and re-
quiring a permit from the board of

fifth new ordinance prohibiting the
parking of buggies, wagons. mowers,
and other horse drawn vehicles on
the streets after dark and on Sun
days, where the drawing power is
detached-exception being made to
court square.
The latter ordinance is to preclude
the parking of vehicles in such
manner as being done on N. Market
street and on S. Brewer street, where
the city streets are being made use
of for storing delivery wagons and
| other vehicles over night and on
Sundays, not only blocking traffic but
causing a hazardous risk to passers-
by.
General Matters Are
Under Discussion.
Among the other details discussed
! in the round table meeting, the in
stallation of a standard watchman's
clock in the alleys of the business
section was authorized and the chief
| of police instructed to put same into
operation, the clock apparatus being
already on hand, and the night
police force will be required to
make periodical rounds of the alleys
and elsewhere-the chief of police
to check up the clock register sheets
every morning following.
The matter of removing the cleo
tric light and telephone poles from
around the square was discussed and

An importer of wonderful things

linen for breakfast and lunch to

heavy quality, lis embroidered in

One especially attractive set Is
made of oyster white linen, en-
broidered with dark blue wistarias
with green foliage and stems. The
small napkins are scalloped in blue.
The china, OF the beautiful white
lustered porcelain made in Den
mark, is decorated with dark blue
vistaris with green leaves and
stems.
other sets have fringed napkins
instead Of scalloped ones. The hens
of the table cloth-small squares
which just cover the top of a square
table or hang in points over the
edge of round one-are finished
with two-inch hem outlined or
chain stitched with blue.
There is no reason In the world
why any needlewoman should not

IL YOU have little children there
is always a strong temptation TO
spend relatively more time in at
tending to their clothes than in
preparing their meals. Likewise,
il is natural thing to spend more
time porting over pattern books
looking for attractive ways to
make their little suits and dresses
than in porting over books on chill
dren's diet, trying to perfect your
self in that direction.
Ynt did you ever know any adult
who might look back with regret

of clothes he longed to possess,
or whose health in later life was
