For Court Clerk
FRANK TAYLOR
Dining his service as courts jcierk
of Canadian county, Frank Taylor
lias made a record o£ which any pub
lie officer might well be proud. Ef-
ficient, courteous, and at the service
of the people a all times lias made
this record possible.
Not only is Mr. Taylor clerk of
the district court, but the county
court conies under his supervision
as well, and he has given tin affair,
of these offices his undivided atteu-
lion In fact Mr. Taylor may be nomy equal to thai of h.s predeccs
said to keep his office open both dayj «ors, and with this end in view re-
f.-ii.r i tli,> onnnnrt nr
to Mr. Matthews the office force had
already been employed and trained
by Mr. Taylor. They were each ex-
perts in the line assigned to them.
The best interest of the office dic-
tated tiiat t'hey be retained and that
has been done. The office is ex
amined by a representative of tli •
slate examiner and inspector at leas:
twice each year and so far the r
ports have been that the books bai
ance and every cent is accounted
for. The sinking funds are invested
in securities that are worth par ano
the balances of cash on band are dis
trlbuted as equitably as possible ti'
every bank in the county.
Canadian county can well be proud
of her past county treasurers for
years and it is the ambition, of Mr.
Matthews to serve one more term
and leave the office with a reputa-
tion for efficiency, honesty and ecc
and night, for he has returned to his
office after office hours, to accomo-
date those "who could not get to the
office before closing time. Mr. Tai-
lor lias boon of Particular assistance
to Cupid and (he hour is never too
late or too early for him to go to tli:.
office to "issue a marriage license.
Previous to assuming thej office oi
court clerk, Frank Taylor was in tin
employ of the Boi^ebrake Ilarilwa:

Mr. Bross received hie-education in j Mr. Lilly is asking for a :-e-on l
term as commissioner, and he Is
justly entitled to it, for he has had
experience in the conduct of the if
lice that will fit him to give far be*

During his term Mr. Lilly has given
especial attention, to the road wor
in his district, and ho has won tli
leputation of being a spe dalist in
highway construction. Good roai'
today is one of the paramount issues"
before the people, and the man wlic
endeavors to give efficient highway
i service, such as Mr. Lilly has given,
is worthy of the support of the vote.s
of his district regardless of political
affiliations.
If reelected to the office, Mr. LI
ly expects to maintain the same high
standard of roads he has built ar.d
to further improve and maintain the
roads in the third district so it Qan
be truthfully said, that there arc
none better in the state. .
As soon as the present tax contro
versy is settled, Mr. Lilly will again
begin wcrk on the roads in his dis-
trict, but until the matter is settled
highway construction work will be
seriously handicapped. Mr. Lilly
will appreciate the support of the
voters of bis distrl 't.

WHAT CITY FOLKS
THINK OF THE FARM
(From Country Gentleman,)
What does New York think of the
farmer? Does it matter much to
him what New York thinks? And
why New York?
Well, within three hundred miles
of New York live nearly one-third of
the people in the United States,
more than ten millions ot them city
folks. They are customers, and
while they must eat. decreased
meat consumption shows what they
can do to the farmer's markets.
They have money to lend as well as
to spend, not to say political power.
Most of all, what they think is pub-
lic 'opinion in itself, and they in-
fluence national opinion, because in
this section most of the country's
writing is done.
Cities like Chicago are closer -to
the real farmer, much of their pop
illation country-bred. But New
York and the section we call the
"East" seldom see the typical Am-
erican farmer. Only a small pro-
portion of New Yorkers come from
the country. A great many of its
people are foreigners, and even if
they come from the soil, like th
Italians, they were peasants and
Itave no conception of American
farming.
How is one to find out what New
York thinks? Not the well-known
leaders of opinion, ready to express
themselves glibly, but the New
Yorker in the street—what does he
think?
The best way is to ask him. If '!
Corn Belt farmer came to New York
and talked with the people as h •
went about seeing the city he would
probably get a better notion of Its
thinking than, the trained investiga
tor with his questionnaire. And he
would find New York people just
folks, markedly kind to strangers
and quite ready to discuss questions
of the day.
