FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT,
TO THE VOTERS OP LINCOLN COUNTY:
One of the most important officers to be elected at the com-
ing election is the County Superintendent of Schools. The suc-
cesor failure of the schools largely rests w ith him. , He should
tie a man who knows the needs of our schools, and able to meet,
the responsibilit e) of the office. I am>acquainted with mo?t, of
the school officers and all of the teachers of the County, and
know the needs of moat of the districts,-financially and otherwise.
I have been a resident of this County for fourteen years—all
of which time I have been engaged in trying to help make the
schools of Lincoln County better. I have seen wonderful im-
provements in our schools, and see where we can still make
improvements
The last legislature revised our school laws, and in that rev-
vision they passed some laws that have proven very unsatisfac-
tory to the people of Lincoln County. These laws 1 am in no
way responsible for, and am opposed to all laws that tend to
centralize governing power. At the .County Superintendents'
convention last May, 1 was appointed OX a legislative committee
of that body to recommend needed legislation. It shall he my
pleasure to recommend and use every cf(or,l at my command to
secure the repeal of all laws that tak,; away the powers of the
voters of the school districts and the sc^.'al district boards, and
the enactment of wholesome laws. Iain in favor of allowing
the school districts and school district bxird to conduct the af-
fairs of the district,. It is the taxpayers of each individual dis-
trict that must support their school. They should be allowed to
say how the money shall be raised and how it shall be spent.
My office duties are such that 1 sha.l not be able to see all
the vo'ers in person, and I desire to take this means of extending
iny appreciation for the support that I have received both as a
candidate, and as an officer. Luring iny term of office I have
devoted my entire time to the duties of the office, and shall con-
tinue to devote my entire time as long as I am your County
Superintendent. I have given the best service that I could My
motto has been "Service", and I pledge that should you elect me
to this office again, I shall be as attentivA to my duty as I have
been in the past.
Again thanking you for past favors, apd soliciting your sup-
•pyrt Hrt-he coming election, I tun
Respectfully yours, -
P. G. RAW DON.

HAVE YOU A BOY?
Did you ever have an earnest
talk with a boy, and plan with
him for the future?
Did you ever tell a hoy how
the world's greatest business
men are made? Did you ever
tell him that his success in life
depended a meat deal on his
own personality?
The boy who has vim, snap,
push, style and manner has a
chance to win against all comers
in the battle o life—provided al-
ways that he has those sterling
virtues of ti nth and oourag*
Your boy ought to read The
Boy's Magazine. He cnri get
the suggestions and training and
manliness from this magazine
that he just needs. And he will
read it with interest, too. I he-
re's nothing in it that will hurt
him. It will stimulate his co
urage and raise his ideals.
The Boy's Magazine is printed
monthly, but we have made
arrangements to supply it to
you in connection with oui
extraordinary clubbing offer .it

ard of.

THE OLD HOME TOWN.
When the evenin' shade is fallin' at
thfc endin' o' the day,
An' a feller rests from labor, smokin'
at his pipe o' clay,
There's nothin' doeB him so much good,
be fortune up or down,
As the little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
It ain't a thing o' beauty and its print
ain't always clean,
But it straightens out his temper when
a feller's feelin' mean,
It takes the wrinkles off his face an'
brushes off the frown,
That little country paper from hiB
Old Home Town.
It tells of all the parties an' the balls
on Pumpkin Row,
'liout who spent Sunday with who's
girl, an' how the crops'll grow,
An' how ic keeps a feller posted bout
who's up an' who is down,
That little country paper from your
Old Home Town.
Now, I like to read the dailies an' the
story papers, too,
An' at times the yaller novels an'
some other trash—dpn't you?
But when I want some readin' that'll
brush away a frown
I want that little paper from my
Old Home Town.
—John Ensminger, '13.
FARM FACTS.
Ho who plows can produce
anything, including health and
happiness.
The magic influence of the
plow will make a desert bloom
and blossom.
The problems of farming are
as serious as the mullipli cation
tables.
Successful farming and maik
eting are the basis of all humau
progress.
Farming i;i successful only
when the crops have been prof-
itably marketed.
Good roads broaden our sym-
pathy. lessen distance and in—
creas our usefulness
It's the man who really counts
in farming. Fertile land is
necessary, but a master mind
must solve the problem of prod-
uction and markeing.
