Country Looking Good

Last Sunday afternoon we en-
joyed q little ride out into the
country taking a southwesterIy
direction and noted with interest.
the large acreage Of wheat.
Owing to the great amount of
moisture we have been having
lately these fields are beginning
to put on the beautiful green
color and in the course of ten days
will be a lovely picture. The
farmers in this locality are all
busy now working their ground
for the spring crops; some are
planting spring wheat while
others have just finished. Will
lis Leach has just completed put
ting in one hundred acres of
spring wheat.

City Election Tame

lily EoCuou anne
Last Tuesday was city election
in our little city and from the
returns Of the day 1t showed that
very little interest was shown in
the matter and II you did not get
the man or men in Office that
you wanted, it must be your own
fault. Out of the possible four
hundred that registered. only
one hundred and sixty-two voted.
The Citizens ticket as was nomi-
mated. was unanimously elected
and contains some of the very
best men Of our city, men whom
we can all depend on as giving
US q fair and square deal in all
their dealings and who have the
interest Of the town in their
hearts. On the count of the
votes cast It showed that Mr.. ].
E. Hayes received 100 votes for
the Office Of Mayor; the council.
men elected were Carroll Brown,
Frank Swanson and J. P. Cahill.
With these good men at the
head Of our town, it is up to each
individual to assist them in what
ever way possible and help make
our town one Of the hest in this
part Of the state, and the first
step we should take in our mind,
is to set aside one day for a gen.
eral cleanup and rid the streets
and alleys Of all trash and rubish
Let's boost for this first.
