To the Democratic Voters of WOrces-
ter County:
With this announcement l present
my candidacy for the office of County
Treasurer, and solicit your support in
the Primary Election, to be held Sep

In announcing my candidacy
want It to be known that l am eX.
perienced in handling large sums OF
public money and that. | have had
valuable training in public affairs
which makes me competent to manage
the office to which l aspire.
1t is a laudable ambition for an ex-
perienced man to aspire to public Of
flee.
My first employment was in the
First National Bank of Snow Hill
where l served as substitute teller
during the last illness of the late
George T. Bratten, who was then tel
Ter. That position l filled acceptably
and we'll l am certain, for, was ask
ed by the Cashier and Vice-President
to make banking my life work.
In 1906 I was appointed a member
of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy
When it organized was elected its
treasurer and for several years hand
led money from every county in the
State. During this time my office
was one of the few Boards that saved
the taxpayers money and turned it in
to the State Treasury.
That I have served as the Boards
president, and am still member, is
o Recommendation that I am capable
of becoming q custodian Of the public
funds of Worcester County.
was Secretary and Treasurer Of
the Mayor and Council of Snow Hill
for several terms, and installed the
present system of accounting.
I feel that my experience as mem
Der of the Town Council was valuable
training and will aid me in the larger
office Of County Treasurer, to which l
am asking you to elect me, for that
is to what the Primary leads.
The Masonic Lodge Of Snow Hill
honored me by electing and reflect
ing me for several years it's treas
urer.
Last, but not least, for 2 years I
have been treasurer of Whatcoat M.
E. Church. I was elected to this Of
flee after the death of my father, who
had been treasurer for twenty-five
years. 1 am proud of this position
and am filling it with fidelity and
care and count it worth while link
in my chain of financial experience.
With this summary of my financial
training l present my candidacy to
the Democratic Constituency of the
county. I feel you are my friends for
I have always voted the Democratic
ticket.
It will be impossible for me to come
in personal contact with every one of
you, but do not hesitate, in this pub
lie way, to ask you to vote for me on
the l4th day of September.

ARIZONA CROP REPORT
AS OF JULY FIRST, 1926

The condition of Arizona's princi-
pal crops was about the same on July
| as the condition reported one month
ago. In the southern irrigated val
leys, small grain harvest was about
over In the higher reaches of the
state wheat and oats are doing re-
markably well, due largely to an
abundance of early spring moisture
and other favorable growing condi-
tions. From the dry-farming districts
IN the southern part of the state come
reports of very favorable nature.
Preliminary estimates of acreage
have been issued by the United States
Crop Reporting board and figures re-
lating to ten of Arizonas principal
field crops are as follows: Cotton
168,000; all wheat 10000; tame hay
10000; cats 10000; barley $4,000;
grain sorghums $4,000; corn 10000;
white potatoes 1000; dry beans 5000;
and sweet potatoes 1000.
The total area devoted to these
crops this year is $4,000 acres. This
figure is higher than the corresponds
ing total shown for any season in the
past ten years.

GEORGE FLEMING BUYS
J.C. BROWN NEWSSTAND

Papers are being drawn this week
for the sale by j. G. Brown of his
news, confectionery and tobacco store
on Railroad avenue to George A.
Fleming, who will take possession
some time next month.
Mrs. Browns health Is not very
good and her husband believes long
rest and perhaps some care-free trav-
cling will benefit her. AS for him.
self, he feels that he has been at hard
work long enough, and while he
doesn't expect to remain entirely idle,
it is likely that he will put in a good
share of his time taking it easy. By
hard work and close application to
his business he has made it possible
for him and his family to live very
comfortably on their present income.
Mr.. Brown for several years held
responsible positions with the Santa
Fe railway company here. In 1917
he bought the newsstand. He now
owns the building and another build
ing in the same block, besides other
real estate and he and Carl c.. May
hew own the Gap trading post. Mr..
Brown may give some of his time to
the latter.
Mr.. Fleming has resigned his posi-
ton as travelling salesman in this
territory for large California dry
goods house and will now be at home
here with his family, something he
has been aiming at for some time.
He knows everyone here and has lots
of friends and should keep the place
prosperous. He has bought the stock
only, Mr.. Brown retaining ownership
of the building and fixtures.
