Gov Moore of
New Jersey
Would Have Nation Return
to God of Our Fathers

Governor A. Harry Moore of
New Jersey told 1,450 members of
the order of Seville, Inc, Castle No
/, at their seventh annual COM
munion breakfast in the Astor yes
terday that America must return
to the God of our fathers" to solve
its current problems. Before the
breakfast 100 members of the
order, which is composed of Catho.
lie employees of the Railway Ex-
press Agency, Inc, attended s
o'clock mass and received COM
munion at st Patrick's Cathedral.
This generation" said Cover
nor Moore, has gotten away from
The God of our fathers. We must
emember that Columbus planted
he flag of Christ alongside the
lag of Spain when he landed here.
We must remember that George
Washington prayed to the same
Tod that we do; and remembering
hese things-that we belong to a
King and that we are Americans
made in the image of Goblet us
20 back to our King and be like
the men OF God of other days"
One reason for the dispropor-
tomato increase in prison and in
titutional population all over the
ountry, he said, was that among
ONE youngsters "the one great
mbition is to go to the big house
nd graduate with the degree of
master criminal" He urged an out
ward profession of religion to COM
rat this influence.
Other speakers were the Rev
Thomas r. Conlon, national direc-
tor OF the Holy Name society, q
native of Waterbury; j. J. Dow.
ling, superintendent OF terminals
for the Railway Express Agency.
and the Rev Charles ]. Quinn, as
sistant pastor of the Church of st
John the Evangelist. Fifty-fifth
street and First avenue, New York.

To the Voters of County
Commissioner District
No. 4:

There has been some criticism
of the board of county commits
sioners, more particularly myself,
by my two opponents, E. B. Green
valid and A. P. Jensen.
OF course every candidate has
the privilege to talk and write,
but the fact remains that the
county auditor publishes annually
a statement of the financial af-
fairs of the county. This state
ment is official, the figures are
correct, and it shows the exact
condition of the county. Cam
paign talking and writing will not
alter it in the least. Look up
the statement and see for your
self.
l am sure that the people are
interested in strict economy in
county affairs, thereby lowering
the taxes, and which the county
board already did last year.
l have voted against all un-
necess ary appropriations de-
manded by petitions such as the
county T. B. area test and the
county agent to which petitions
both E. B. Greenwald and A. P.
Jensen signed their names. These
petitions are a matter of record,
filed with the county auditor, and
can be seen by any taxpayer.
All official county proceedings
the actions of the county board
are published after each and
every meeting and as above stated
the financial statement of the
county is published annually after
the years business is completed.
Those official records tell def
nitely the business done and the
service rendered by your county
commissioners, and | am of the
opinion that voters and taxpayers
generally have kept abreast of
what has been done in the past.
1t is important that all citi-
Zens of the Fourth commissioner
district express their choice for
nomination to the office of county
commissioner next Monday, June
20, as from an economic stand
point the office is important for
the reason that all commissioners
have much to say about the finan-
cial affairs of the county. In
other words they are your man
ayers and should have insight
in the economic affairs and vision
for the future.
Yours in the interest of rigid
economy and that which serves
the people the best,

WEED MEETING
WILL BE HELD
Discussion of Ways and Means to
Combat Weeds Will Feature
Meeting at AskOv.

A meeting pertaining to weeds will
be held at Askoy Thursday, June 80,
similar to the one held at Pine City
on Tuesday, June Z, which meeting
was attended by town chairmen and
farmers interested in combating the
menace.
The state department of Agricul-
ture was represented at the meeting
at Pine City by Messrs. T. c. Henne-
CHAN and Sam Hammarbeck in which
they discussed the seed and weed laws
as they appear in the statute books.
Time was also given to the discussion
of new weed appearing in this cOun-
ty, fan weeds and OK Eye daisy was
reported as new weeds.
Canada and SOW thistles were re-
ported by those attending as Pine
county's worst weeds at present. These
two weeds were discussed at some
length and the people in attendance
believed the best way to combat the
Canada thistles was by continual cut
ting and this could be done best by
sowing alfalfa in the fields. Sow
thistles are probably harder to eradi-
cate. The most effective way is by
cutting the new plants off as soon as
they appear.
Control measures with chemicals
were discussed by Fred B. Willrett,
county agent, of all perennial weeds,
at the meeting in Pine City.
All township boards and farmers
are invited to attend the meeting at
Askov, who live in townships north
and east of Hinckley.
