NECESSITY Seen FOR CAPABLE man
TO FUNCTION IN THE CAPACITY OF
CITY COMPTROLLER; ;SNPTON BEST
One of Most Important Offices Municipal Government Is That
Pertaining to the Fiscal Afairs-Skipton Has Proven
Himself the Logical Man.

Comptroller E. NJ. Skipton Is seek
ing reelection to the Office of Comp
troller solely on his record as an able
and efficient, thoroughly experienced
municipal accountant, according to
his campaign statements.
An examination into the record and
experience of Comptroller Skipton
discloses that his statements are
based on whole truth-that he is ex-
actly what he says he is-thoroughly
experienced, capable and efficient.
For more than twenty years. E. n.
Skipton has been engaged in the busi-
ness of accounting. Ten of these
years have been spent in the Office Of
the Comptroller, and for the past
fourteen months, Mr.. Skipton has
been active Comptroller of the city OF
st. Paul.
He was elected to this Office by the
members of the present city council.
following the death Of Jesse Foot,
former city comptroller under whom
Mr.. Skipton served as chief deputy.
Most OF the present advanced sys-
TENS of accounting in vogue In the
Comptroller's Office were inaugurated
and installed by Mr.. Skipton. His
vast experience as a municipal ac-
countant, together with his ten years
of experience as an accountant. for
some Of the largest establishments in
st. Paul, have given him an intimate
knowledge of the duties and demands
visited on the City Comptroller.
Importance Shown.
1t is an accepted fact that the Of
fee of City Comptroller is q very i'm
portant part OF the city's govern
mental machinery. Primarily II is a
position requiring expert and thor
ough experience. The job needs the
very best kind of an accountant, de-
spite the fact that in previous years,
some of the officials who held the job
were not themselves expert account
ants. The Comptroller must know
intimately the workings Of the sew
eral city departments, for he is the
sole Judge of the amounts Of monies
to be spent by each department.
Mr.. Skipton has qualified himself
for the job through long years of ex-
ecutive and accounting experience.
Voters at the May election will un-
doubtedly cast their ballot for the
best fitted by training and experience.
An investigation into Mr.. Skipton's
intelligent selection.

ed from his home, no judgments will
be entered nor will legal experts be

Technicalities of law will not be-
cloud the facts, but each and every

the court against any race, nor will
any religious prejudices or fraternal
affiliations be allowed to influence the
decisions of the court.

Bishop Brooks
Returns to US.

Bishop w. Sampson Brooks, for
mer pastor of Bethel church, now d.
recting the works of the, African
Methodist church in West Africa, ar
rived in Baltimore last Saturday from
abroad.
Bishop Brooks declared that Africa
needs the civilizing agencies OF the
white nations and missionaries. In
stead OF, trying to drive the European
nations out Of Africa, he said, the
slogan should be to encourage them
to aid in the big work of civilizing
heather who have followed old Gus
toms for 80 centuries.
Africa, he declared, has plenty of
common laborers. 1t needs men of
brains and wealth. Unless migrants
have something to contribute. unless
missionaries have. something to carry
with them besides the Bible. they
might just as well stay In America.

members Of the legislature who VOT-
ED AGAINST Negro battalion
Guard. The bill for an addition to
the state militia came up In 1919.

Park County Schools
Win at Douglas Fair

The Park county exhibit at the
State Fair at Douglas was a great
success in all three divisions.
Miss Eells with her demonstration
team and club work won several
prizes; Mr.. Allen with the agricul-
tural exhibit won many premiums and
had a fine booth.
The school exhibit won its share of
the premiums. This department is
very short of funds so had to cut the
number and class of entries down to
a very small number.
There were seventeen heads under
which rural school exhibits could be
entered. Park county took first pre-
miums in these. In the small city
class Cody took one first premium
with a small exhibit of crayons.
Upper Sage was entered in the
special classes where there were ten
heads under which to enter. This
school won a second and third prize.
Cody was limited for space at the
fair and could only display about half
of the exhibits and the work was all
prepared without a knowledge of the
rules governing exhibits, so much of
it had to be entered as exhibits and
not entered for premiums.
Last but not least Juanita Werts
won third place in the spelling o n
test, for. which she received a bronze
medal and $500. Mrs. Ide expects
to have this medal exhibited at the
Park County Fair with the other
school work. so that all may sec it.
