"Short Cake season means to
most Of us strawberry short cake,

sugar. Rub in tablespoons (l-3 cup

times known as Carnations"
Rhubarb Short Cake
Another short cake which is pos
sible and delicious in the spring
is rhubarb short cake. The rhu-
barb should be cooked without water
either on top of the stove or in the
oven. Sugar-plenty of sugar
should be added, when 1t is tender

A few Strawberries with this makes
a worthwhile addition.

RODNEY SALISBURY
Indepeneent GandI9ate
For Sheriff

Rodney Salisbury, the present sher
1T, has been in the sheriff's office
from January l, 1921 to January !
1928 as under sheriff and since that
time as sheriff, despite the fact that
ne has repeatedly, during the past
Two years, expressed his desire to re-
tire from public life. The farmers
IN Sheridan county would not listen
to this but proceeded to draft him to
again become their candidate for
sheriff.
When Rodney Salisbury's nomina-
ton came before the joint convention
of the Progressive Farmer Labor del
egates it was met with prolonged a2
plause which will long be remember
ed by the many Delegates and visit
ing farmers present.
Always has Sheriff Salisbury per-
termed his duties cheerfully and faith
fully and well, so well that even the
opposition can find nothing in his
record to criticize. Rodney Salisbury
has never shirked his duty even where
1t was hazardous and unpleasant. His
record Is without blemish. He is
one sheriff who treats all prisoners
kindly and with consideration.
Mr.. Salisbury is one. sheriff who
does not prostitute his high office to
function for the collection agencies
Tor foreclosure lawyers and for "crop
grabbers." He has the courage to
deny them the illegal assistance of
his office in divesting the farmer and
homesteader of his last penny, and
the home that he has toiled so hard
to establish. Whatever his enemies
may say about him, they cannot and
GO not state that he has ever lent
his office to law violators, or stopped
TO oppose or Cypress the poor. Rod
ney, as he is commonly known. has
never been too tired, nor has the dav
been too inclement for him to respond
to the call of duty.
Sheriff Salisbury came to This
county about 20 years ago ~froyy
Brinsmade, North Dakota. where he
grew to manhood. He filed on 9
homestead north of Raymond where
ne patched and developed his farm In
time he married and is the father Of
SIX children, all born in Sheridan
county. He is 40 years old and ac-
i've, courageous and capable. He hos
always been classed as a radical in
pol'ti,s and has always fought the
eXploiters and reactionary forces. for
the producers against the oppressors.
Sheriff Salisbury is the best sheriff
sheridan county has ever had. bar
none. On November he will be re-
elected with the largest majority he
mas ever received. or that any candi-
date for sheriff has received in this
county. '''''

A. C. ERICKSON
Independent Candidate
For County Attorney

Arthur Erickson is again a candi-
date for County Attorney. He re-
celved the, endorsement of the Pro
gressive Farmer-Labor forces al
their joint convention and his cleo
ton is conceded by everybody.
County Attorney Erickson mas
held the office for which he has been
nominated for eight years, which in
itself shows the confidence the farm
els and workers have in him. Mr..
Erickson has 1un his office in a verv
efficient manner, always pleasant
and accommodating to all who call at
his office.
Eric" as he is mostly called, is a
great admiler of Thomas Jefferson.
the writer of the Declaration of In
dependence and the foremost of the
Revolutionary forefathers. In his
school days he read much of Jeffer-
sons political philosophy. Thomas
Jefferson often wrote: "That Gov
eminent Is Best Which Governs
Least" That principle has guided
the political activities of County At
torney Erickson since he became
County Attorney eight years ago.
While he is a consistent prosecutor,
ne is at no time a prosecutor. and
the records show that he has convict
ed more men at less expense to the
taxpayers than any other County At
torney in any of the rs other coun-
ties of the Sixth class in the state.
County Attorney Erickson will be
reelected November 9th.
