CAN BE DONE
Mondays Election of School Directors
in Lamar Furnishes Big
Surprise.

One of the biggest surprises of many
years was sprung on the people Mon
day evening in the closing hours of the
school election. But one ticket had
been nominated and little interest had
apparently been taken in the election
open from seven o'clock in the morn
ing until five o'clock in the afternoon.
At that hour only fifteen votes had
been cast A little interest was mani
tested and during the next half hour
that number was doubled. The voters
then seemed to wake up and constant
stream was seen going to the Central
building where during the hour from
$50 to $50 little better than one
vote minute was cast. Then came
the deluge. The friends of the reg
ular ticket woke up too late and autos,
trucks and shank's calves were used
very literally by both sides in the clos
ing thirty minutes of the election.
Over three votes per minute were cast
and it kept the judges working to the
limit during that time. The count of
the ballots showed that the eleventh
hour candidates had won in walk by
a big majority. The newly elected di-
rectors are Cora r. Strain and w. G..
Brown. They defeated DIR. w. o. Shell
Ter, who is at present n member Of
the board, and r. E. Nye, who had
been nominated to succeed w. A. Leon
ard. AS all four men are good citi-
zens, able business men and deeply
interested in our schools the result
makes little difference in our school,
but it should cause all citizens to see
how easily indifference or the part of
the voters to their duties as citizens
might lead to serious consequences.
The Register last week sounded n
warning that unopposed nomination
did not necessarily mean an election,
but no attention WIS paid to it. In
a district that has more than two
thousand registered voters, the polls
for the election Of almost half Of the
directors Of one Of its most vital and
also most expensive institutions was
open for ten hours and orly fifteen
people took the trouble to vote and
twelve of these were either directors
or employees of the board. Such 4
lack of interest on the part of the
citizens could Just as easily have re-
suited in calamity to our school sys-
tenn instead of the election Of two
other good men as it did. If such had
been the case the voters would have
no one but themselves to blame-just
rs those who are dissatisfied with the
result can blame themselves now.
Our form Of government makes the
exercise of the franchise one Of the
first duties of good citizenship and
those who continually neglect that
duty cannot lay claim to the title Of
good citizens.

Postmaster Hagerman.

The first change of federal officials
in this section under the new admin
istration came last week when Albert
A. Hagerman, who was formerly as
sistant postmaster at the Lamar office,
was made postmaster at Sprinfield.
Cap, as he is best known here, is an
efficient postoffice man and good
republican, and will make his town a
first class official. His many Lamar
friends extend congratulations.

A LONG FACE NEVER
EARNED 4 PENNY,

And a crouch never helped a hui
man being. You can afford smile
even if you do not feel like it. A
smile does not cost you anything
yet it has a business value. The chap
who ducks up smiling when every
body is pulling long faces is the chap
you want to do business with.
The crouch only begets grouches
and grouchers. Look out you are
not infected by the crouch. His
poison is more dangerous than boil
shevism, mosquitoes and fake "hooch'
combined.
Smile when you mean il and smile
when you don't, and keep right on,
with cheerful mug. II is good bust
ness. II helps your digestion. And
it makes you welcome everywhere,
advises Sugarman's Indicator.
