resulted in combining the Irregu-
lars to positions in the narrow area
consisting of that part Of Sackville
street, part of Parnell Square, and
Marlborough street. The rapid
ity with which the Free Staters dis
lodged the insurgents caused sur
prise.
Yesterdays operations in most
cases were carried out by the use
Of ,armored cars and intense gun
fire. Apparently only in one case
was artillery brought into action
and that was the attack on Moran's
Hotel in Arimble street. Clearing
out of the outposts in the neighbor-
hood of Harcourt street and Ste
phens Green was accompanied by
heavy bursts of rifle and machine
gun fire. The capture of the Sawn
Hotel in York street was made by
an armored car and a small force
of Free Staters quartered in an
undertaker's establishment nearby.
The fight lasted several. hours.
Most OF the defenders were mere
boys and their pluck and dared
eviltry won warm admiration from
their imperilled non-combatant
neighbors as well as from the at
tackers.

Giltner deputy county treasurer, is
that kind Of man. He gave up a
fine position, enlisted and went over
seas in the ammunition train service,
under Col. Fred Fitzpatrick and made
Ia splendid record. When he returned
he was rendered the deputyship by
Treasurer Calkins who also being
from Herington knew his fine quail
fications. He has made a most COM
petent assistant, every record being
perfect and showing his ability.
Frank is not much Of back-slapper
and jollier but he extends every pos
sible accommodation to all and he is
an official who looks after every cent
Of the public money, knows exactly
where 1t should 60 and sees that it
goes there. He is the kind Of county
treasurer the county should have and

GUY SHERMAN
A Sheriff Who Has Enforced Order
at All Times

AT All ] INES
No particular need exists for cam
paigning for Guy Sherman for sheriff.
His opponent resigned from the ticket
and the Democratic committee sub
stituted some one but the vote is prac-
tically all one way. Guy went into
office the youngest sheriff in the
state but he before that had been
undersheriff and had served In the
war. His first term has been a time
of considerable strain in county af.

high.c class service In the sherifrs Of
flee, And 1t got 1t. Mr.. Sherman
has maintained order In every part
Of the county and has been faithful
officer In every duty that devolved
on him, and has won general ap-
proval. In every day Of his term
he has given the county sincere.
earnest administration, playing no
favorites and enforcing the law like
a veteran. Nobody has ever escaped
Sheriff Sherman when he went after
him. The people Of the county want
him for another term and his ma.
jority will be something Of which to
be proud.

FARMERS UNION
STORE BUSTED
Mgr. C.. r. Baer Out
To Court Next

The Farmers Union store on Buck
eye avenue, Abilene, started about
four years ago by the Dickinson
County Farmers Union Cooperative
Association has reached the end. The
association has made application fol-
bankruptcy proceedings and the
manager, c. Il. Baer, has been sue
ceeded by A. J. DayhOff who is under
the court and selling for cash and
paying no bills.
Mr.. Baer has been manager Of the
store for some two years and is now
campaigning for county ,clerk, be-
ing on the Democratic ticket. The
store has steadily gone backward
and the list Of credits on Mr.. Day
hoff's desk includes about every
wholesale house In the Middle West
together with many local creditors
who will have heavy losses.
Mr.. Dayhoff said today that he
could not even estimate what the
financial condition of the store IL
until he got the books systematized
and accounts listed. The store has
carried large stock and operated
both implement and grocery and
cream business with two stores doing
a large business. 1t Is likely that
the loss will reach to around $4,000,
though 1t may be more.
An unofficial report Is that the
stock on hand amounts to about
$4,000 and that the liabilities are
about $4,000. The chief losers will
be the men who are on any notes
the association may have given. The
stockholders Of course lose all they
put into the concern.
Mr.. Dayhoff is capable business
man and will get the stores business
in the best condition possible.

The hard-surfaced roads have called

ing and 1t has all been done right.
Thirty assessors have brought in their
books annually and he has not only
had to check them but in instances
has practically rewritten them. He
has not only had assistance Of Mrs.
King, who is capable Of being county
clerk herself, but has at his own ex-
pense hired large amount Of as
sistance in order that every record
should be right up to date. Further
more, he has extended an accommo-
datiQn to practically every citizen Of
the county at some time or other and
when he is asked for information Of
his Office he does not guess he
knows.
This is the kind Of service that
saves the county money. He has been
reelected not On political grounds but
on merit and his candidacy for the
position is again on that basis. 1t is
doubtful II any man In the county
could 80 well fill the position and the
folks know 1t. 1t is possible that by
putting up the office to bids someone
would be found who would take IL
cheap but that Is not the question.
What the county wants is service and,
heaven knows, the salaries in the
court house are all small enough as
It Is. No accountant, bank employee
or other business man with q task
that Of the county clerk
ls paid 50 little.
Horace King has given to this
county good years of his life and has
made q record Of efficiency that
counts. Dickinson will demand that
be stay on the job, insuring that the
same efficiency that has never been
lacking for a single day during his
service.

County Attorney
When a boy works to help make
his way through high school; then
works his own way through the Uni
versity Of Kansas, coming out with
Ao0ors; then enlists in his c0untry's
service, goes overseas, serves with
distinction on the field; then comes
home and builds up law practice
that is a credit-there Is something
TO him.
It was this kind of a history that
made Paul 81. Roger successful in
the primary. It will make him the
next county attorney. In all his life
he has been a worker, he has the
habit Of digging into things and get
ting at the right basis for his opin-
ions and actions. He will be that
kind Of county attorney. He will
enforce the laws without standing
around on the streets and telling how
great a reformer he is; he will be
on the job in a quiet, efficient man
ner that gets results. When giving
the county officers advice 1t will be
sound advice and they viii not get
1t until he has found out just what
is the right advice. That is the kind
Of an attorney this county needs.
Such service means that county bus

it was the kind the county wanted.

A Representative With Courage and
Ability

A Representative With Courage an<
Ability
Dickinson county will elect Q
member Of the house Of representa-
tives, the man who will stand fol
this county in the legislature mex
winter. The Republicans have nomi.
mated a fine candidate, William j
Scott, an attorney Of Herington
mayor Of that city and an ex-service
man with fine overseas record. Mr..
Scott has an uncommon sort of cour-
age. Through all the strike troubles
he has stood for order and has had
the respect of all the citizens Of his
town.
The other day the strikers called
him before their meeting and asked
him to pledge his opposition to the
Industrial court law. He frankly told
them that he was in favor Of the law
and stood squarely on the Republican
platform. It was hard to refuse his
home citizens their request but 1t was
a position that earned their respect
and it viii win that Of the good peo-
pie Of Dickinson county.
However, not one candidate in a
hundred would have that kind Of
courage. Usually there would be
evasion and lodging to keep the votes
but not for. Scott. That kind Of
courage and uprightness win stand
him in good stead when he goes to
Topeka and Dickinson can depend on
having q representative who will
represent the whole Of the county
and see that the county gets its just
dues and who win not be dictated to

Forebodings Of high-priGed tur-

LARGEST BROOM CORN MARKET
Wichita Is The Largest Market %
the World

II the porter's whisk broom was
not grown In Kansas, 1t is a fifty
fifty chance that its material was
first sold In wichita, the largest
broom corn market In the world.
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas are
largest producers of broom corn
among the states and federal statis-
tics show that these three states
produced "a total of $4,000, 900
pounds of brush last year as COM
pared with 10000, 900 pounds for all
the other states together.
Fully one-half of the broom corn
crop Of the Southwest is handled
through the Wichita market, accord
ing to the official organ of the
trade, and the volume OF this trade
in that market exceeds the entire
crop produced in all the other states
than the three named.
