4 BUSINESS PROPOSITION

When a place is to be filled in
any business, what splendid thing
it is to have man step in who
knows the business, and who can
successfully run it. The manage
ment of the county is business
proposition. The head of the coun-
tvs affairs is the board Of county
commissioners, and the county
auditor who is secretary of the
board of commissioners, in addition
TO other duties One of the princi-
pal duties of the commissioners is
looking after the building of roads,
bridges, culverts, ETC.. matters
which call for the expenditure Of
very large sums of money It is a
very common expression that those
handling funds of the county
should see to it that they are ex-
pended as iudiciously, and as care
fully as if they were of private
business Because they have not
been in this county, is largely be-
cause of lack of experience along
the line for which the money is paid
out. Now we are coming to the
point. Chas. L. Johnson is the
Democratic candidate for county
has had many. years experience in
contracting and road building. pur-
chasing of material. equipment. ma
chinerv, etc He knows the actual
cost of these things. He knows
what a piece of work should cost.
He knows when workmen on such
jobs give value received for the
money spent He knows the cheap
est. and best way road should be
built. In other words he knows
how to build the most roads for
the least money. Not casting re-
Elections on the other officers. but
compare his business Judgment and
experience with those of the coun-
ty surveyor, county auditor. or
present members of the board Of
county commissioners. To use
common expression. not one of
them can hold a candle to him in
such matters.
Voters. it is business propo-
sition from beginning to end.
Charles L. Johnson should be
on the board of county commission
ers. His services would mean much
TO the tax payers of Morgan county.
He knows the road building game.
He is successful business man.
Your votes should put him in the
position where the county may have
the benefit of his splendid ability
such as the county so badly needs
now.

Dear Voters:

ALEXANDER THE "DOER"

From the very first jump off. J.
r. Alexander. Democratic candi-
date for Congress, in this district,
showed much strength, which is in
creasing every day. He is man
as clean as the cleanest, is capable,
but more, he is a "doer"-he does
things, he gets results, his ideas are
sound and practical. The state
ment was made by hundreds of Re-
publicans during the late primary,
that their chief reason for asking
for another man to represent this
district in congress, was because
the present one had done scarcely
anything. The real "doer" candi-
date in this district for congress is
j. r. Alexander.

side celebrated her 93d birthday
Sunday at her home. Members of
her immediate family. children.
grandchildren. and great grand
children, and few lifelong friends
and neighbors were present, in all
about 60. The day was ideal, and
the big picnic dinner was served
in the yard. The birthday cake
was baked by Mrs. Smiths daugh-
ter Mrs. Clara Barkhurst of Casey
Ill. 1t was an occasion enjoyed by
all, but none enjoyed it more than
did Mrs. Smith who is in good
health, able to work, likes reading
the papers. and enjoys life in gen
eral. The wish of her many friends
is that the coming years will fall
but lightly on her. and that she
will have more such pleasant birth
day celebrations.

Saves Life of Child

Mr.. Lawrence Mcdaniel of the
express office saved the life of the
year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Hill
lard Dunfee of this place Wednes-
day. He was passing with the ex-
press delivery wagon, when the
mother ran out to him too frantic
to speak. However, Mr.. Mcdaniel
knew something was wrong, and
went to her rescue. He found the
little child choking to death. He
first ran and called a doctor, and
then proceeded to administer first
aid-and in this case it was all that
was necessary, and before the doe
tor arrived the substance, whatey-
err it was, had been dislodged from
the child's throat. The doctor
stated that no doubt Mr.. Mcdaniel
had saved the child's life. Without
the aid rendered it would have been
dead before he got there.

terms as clear as could be stated
that they would receive adjusted
compensation to repay them in a
small measure for fighting through
mud, and hell, and winning the
war. Surely by this time our SOL

of receiving this compensation so
long as Harding remains in the

$54 100000 OF STATE AID TO
MORGAN COUNTY SCHOOLS
THIS YEAR


If you favor retaining the state
fund for weak schools out of which
Morgan county gets $4,000 this
year more than it pays in, vote for
Charles H. Fouts for representative.
He helped get this law on the books
and will fight to keep it there. His
opponent stated last Tuesday night
to the league of women voters that
he stands with Vic Donahey on the
tax question. Mr.. Donahey says
he will wipe out this fund. Don't
vote $4,000 year out of the pock-
cts of Morgan county taxpayers, in
order to save the taxpayers that
much in the richer counties. Don't
distress our schools and school
districts by voting away one Of
their substantial means of support.
