 Kept mt Work
 When I saw it announced in The Age e-Herald about the Sword con test my interest was immediately aroused. I first got good soft lead pencil, plenty of paper and then cut the picture out of the paper. On my first inspection I secured only 90 words. The next night-you see worked in the office all day and didn't get off until o'clock-right after supper I took the picture out and perused it more closely. This yeilded me 12 more words. Then I got out a little dictionary and as- sisted by this little book I found about one hundred more words.
 q later purchase a slightly larger dictionary but this helped me but very little. But every night l kept digging after the words and soon l hdQ eAtl that | tlipbEAAl tOd1h pOoSiDA y be found. But l didn't stop there l went over'it again two days later and found few more words.
 When I submitted my list of words I knew that I had done my best and that if I didn't win the prize it wouldn't be because l had not striven for it.
 T was pleasantly surprised yester- day when I received notice from The Age that I was awarded the S1.000. l want to thank The Age Herald, Mir. Brantone and all of the judges for their kindness in going over my list and in awarding me the prize.

NO TIME TO SWAP HORSES.

Jas. II. SilverthOrn, republican can
didate for county auditor, was in town
Tuesday meeting up with the voters in
the interest of his candidacy. There is
a good deal of Misunderstanding about
the manner in which the auditors
office has been conducted during the
past two years, and people careless
with statements have given out the i'm
preston that it has been conducted at
u heavy cost to the taxpayers. The fact
is that the office has been run at a
minimum cost, and Mr.. Silverthorn's
record stands out bright as a model of
economy. During the past two years,
during Mr.. Silverthorn's incumbency
the work of the office has been done
by the same number Of clerks that
were employed ten years ago, while
the business Of the office has more
than doubled in volume. Another con-
spicuous item Of economy and eff
cheney is the fact that the cost OF tae
Office for 1921 was over $4,000 less
than for the year 1920, and the saving
will be about the same for 1922. This
is the kind Of showing that should
appeal to property owners. II Mr.. Sill
verthorn is reelected. and he has won
reelection on his record, the same
economy will be practiced in tae flu
ture that has been his watchword in
the past.

For years Mr.. Farnsworth has been in
the warehouse and storage business
handling grain at Riverside Owing to
the repeated. seasons Of crop shortage
he has not been overwhelmed with
business of late years, though holding
his own and ready to, reap when the
farmers get chance to reap. Time
has not withered Mr. Farnsw orth s

ally trifle more mature than a dozen
years ago, there is no change in his
likeable personality. Furthermore, he
is no pessimist, and is already looking
forward to a more prosperous season

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

w. S. Shumway of Omak, was WIS.,
itor in town Monday. Mr.. Shumway Is
a member of the board Of county COM
missioners, and very valuable one
at that. He represents the First dis
trict and is up for reelection-and VIII
be reelected, because his record has
been such as to draw to him every
voter who believes in a business-like
and economical administration or
county affairs. Mr.. Slumway Is busl-
ness man of experience, property
owner, level headed, and with the
courage to hew to the line in the mat
ter of county expenditures, let the
chips fall where they may. One who is
popular in his home town is certain to
be man Of parts, and Mr.. Shumway
is so popular in Omak that that popu-
lous precinct will cast almost solid
vote for him. Such being the case why
not make it unanimous throughout the
county.
