ROLPH NOT 4 CANDIDATE

Decision of Governor Rolph not to seek
reelection, will be approved by the great
majority of Californians, including his
staunehest supporters as we'll as those
who have been off him since he first
went to Sacramento.
The governor is a sick man, probably
much more so than he knows or is will
ing to admit to himself. His career as
governor has been an extremely strenu-
Gus one, particularly for man of his
age. 1t would have taxed the strength
and vitality of man much younger
than he is. He has burned the candle
at both ends and not even Max Baer
or Primo Camera can stand up long
under that sort of thing.
Without any intention of being dis
courteous or unkind to the governor we
believe he has been misfit in office.
He is by nature kindly man, warm
hearted and generous He has been 10y
a to friends some of whom have not been
as loyal to him in the high office which
he bestowed upon them.
Frequently this column has censured
him and differed with him but It has
found time and occasion to admire some
excellent qualities in him. The governor
Is product of romantic old California
of the Don period Many of its tra-
ditions cling to him and they are imped-
iments in this hard boiled age when
romance is dished out chiefly in me-
chanical form through the radio and the
films, rather than through the hearts
and souls of men.
1t has been said that Governor Rolph
would have made an excellent executive
during period of prosperity There is
much IN this statement. He is 'glad-
handler, but sincere one He likes to
make friends and he does make friends
and he holds them. But his period did
not call for a "glad-hander". It needed
"hard-boiled' and determined person
who would ride rough-shod over poiti-
clans instead of trying to please all of
them.
For the balance of his term we hope
he will slow down and take things easy.
We believe even his most strenuous
political enemies will wish him long
years of good health and happiness af-
ter he leaves the governors chair. AS
Sunny Jim he is an asset to Califor-
mia.

Results so Far Hardly Warrant
Prizes; Subscribers Cast
Many of Ballots
FIELD OPEN FOR WORKERS
Master Chevrolet, De Luxe Ford
vs. and Cash Prizes
to be Given

Today's credit in the Gazette's
great Everybody Wins" gift distri-
button of two handsome motor cars
and purses of silver IS printed. Here
after the standings will be changed
each week and will include all votes
cast for publication up to the preced-
ing Tuesday night. Today's score is
the first publication.
Many expiring subscriptions have
been renewed during the past few
days. That of course made credits.
And these credits were cast at the op-
ton of the subscribers, for some can
didate. Sample copies and the an
nouncement of the campaign too,
have stimulated subscriptions.
That's how it is today. More cred
its have been cast by the subscribers
themselves than most candidates
have secured.
Neither the list of the nominations
nor the recorded credits today is a
fair indication of how the race will
be. Subscriptions and coupons have
been turned in for some who have as
vet made no apparent effort them
selves. Another few have tried to
skim the cream. Eventually the cam
paign will narrow down to the real
workers-the real prize winners.
There are some candidates who will
get along very we'll for few days
They will bubble over with enthus-
iasm. But it won't last long. They'll
go out and "get their ears knocked
down" once or twice and they'll quit
They haven't got the stuff in them
that will urge them on. And rather
than admit their deficiency they'll cal
in or write. 81 find, l. haven't got the
time" Others will be content to let
their friends cast votes for them
when they turn in their subscriptions
over the counter at the Gazette office
Some will start, but will not finish
1t is just the battle of life in NINA
ture. Some have it within themselves
to be successful. Others can become
so with the proper urge. Still other:
lack confidence in themselves and tht
ability to stick and win.
Really, it is regrettable that tn
votes cast are no greater than the!
are. In truth the present status o.
this campaign would not justify tn
Gazette in putting up more than
cheap diamond ring or set OF din
ner dishes.
The prizes are extraordinary. New
err before have such valuable ant
handsome cars of such worthy MAKE
been offered in this section Of Mime
sofa as prizes in newspaper trad

CORN.HOC PROGRAM
NEARLY COMPLETED
8 Per Cent Adjustment Requir.
ed in County Hog Quota;
No Flat Cut Planned

The corn-hog program in Redwood
county is nearing completion with the
quotas for both corn and hogs nearly
down to meet the requirements of the
state board of review, members of
the county committee said in state
ment this week.
The corn quota has been satisfact-
orily met, the statement said, and the
final adjustment is being made on
hogs before the contracts can be sent
to Washington. The prospects for
early payment are therefore consid-
cred excellent.
The state board of review sets up
the quota figures which were recently
received. Redwood county was found
to be reasonably secure on the corn
allotment but the board pointed to an
apparent over statement of nine per
cent on hogs produced for market.
With the help of township committee
men as we'll as producers, the county
committee is reviewing the contracts
to find evidence of overstatements.
The results have been very salts
factory, the statement said, and the
percentage has been reduced consid-
erably. 1t is expected that the bal
ance of the reduction also will be
made without fiat cut which would
have penalized farmers whose figures
were accurate unfairly although it
could have been made much more
quickly.
In eliminating surplus hogs, the
committees have checked particular
ly these items: early marketing OF
heavy hogs, feeder pig obligations
and duplication of evidence.
Redwood county has not used the
early payment riders which have lee
to confusion in some counties. Such
riders permit the government to pay
as it sees fit and the producer does
not know what he is to get when he
signs his contract.
When other work is done the COM
pliance part of the program will STAR
with each farm to be visited. Farm
ers are urged to have their contract
fields plainly marked to speed this
work and reduce the expense involv'
ed. An efficient compliance program
will mean that Redwood county farm
ers will receive first and second bene
fit payments only few weeks apart

Blue EAGLE SPURS
CUPID AS PERMITS
TO WE'D INCREASE
Clerk Baldwin's Figures Show
Increase In First Six
Months Of Year

Besides attempting to stimulate
business for merchants and farmers,
the new deal with it's array of alpha
betical designation, helped, probably
unknowingly, to increase the marri-
age license business of Frank Bald
win, Redwood county clerk of court.
During the first six months of 1888,
70 licenses were issued and in the
same period this year, 81 asked per-
mission to take the leap, an increase
of nine over the 1888 period: This in
crease probably does not correspond
to the increase in some other lines of
business but shows that the Blue
Eagle is winging its way into the
hearts of hesitant brides and bride
grooms.
In 1892 the number of licenses is
sued by Redwood county's clerk from
January 1 to July 1 was 81, much
lower than either 1888 or 1884.
Fourteen licenses were issued in
January of this year as compared
with ten in January, 1888. In Feb
ruary the number was ten, four less
than in February Of last year but in
March, eight were issued compared
with the six of March, 1888.
Things began looking up in April
when II Redwood county couples de-
cided to brave the future and start
homes of their own. This, however
was decrease of one over April OF
1888.
But with the advent of May, the
month that will go down in history as
one of dust storms, the eligible males
threw discretion to the winds as IL
licenses were sold. During that month
last year the office issued only nine
licenses to wed.
The precedent Of June being the
month of weddings was not broken
here this year as 26 licenses were ap-
piled for. In June of last year, "a
permits were issued.
According to figures compiled by
Clerk Carl P. Manderfeld in Brown
county, there were IS licenses issued
during the first six months Of last
year and IS this year.

Lawrence Fingarson, 40, Former
Legion Commander, Found
Dead by Brother, Alfred
BODY BURNED, BRUISED
Lived in Community Most Of
His Life; is Survived by 3
Sisters, 3 Brothers

Walnut Grove-Lawrence Fingar-
son, prominent member of the Amer
lean Legion post here, was killed on
Monday afternoon when struck by
lightning at his farm three miles
south of here.
The time Of the accident has not
been definitely established although
it is believed to have been about 3
p. m. when an electrical storm was
particularly severe.
Mr.. Fingarson left the house early
in the afternoon to look over a field
of corn. When he did not return late
in the afternoon, his brother, Alfred,
went to look for him.
The brother found him about p.
m. lying dead in the corn field. The
bolt evidently struck his left side as
it was burned badly and showed eff
fects of severe jolt.
Mr.. Fingarson has lived near Wal
nut Grove practically all his life. At
one time he was commander of the
Legion post and bugler. He was I'M
married and was about 40 years Of
age.
He is survived by three sisters,
Miss Agnes at home, Mrs. Oscar
Anderson and Mrs. Edgar Nordsiden
of near Walnut Grove and three
brothers, Berdin, Alfred and H. w.
Fingarson. The latter is the Walnut
Grove nostmaster.
