I believe in Good Roads and if elected will devote half of my time to advising with
the various Overseers of the County and will be in my office at the Conrt House all the
time that I am not busy seeing after the Roads.
CONVICT CAMP
If elected your County Judge, I will organize a Convict Board in the county as the
law directs and will work the convicts if we can work them for 75 cents per day or less;
and if they cannot be worked for this sum, I will put them in jail and let them stay
there, and send the State convicts back to the Penitentiary. And in case we do work
the convicts I will not let them run over the county at large nor hunt and fish at their
pleasure.
GUARDIANS AND ADMINISTRATORS BONDS
If I am elected your County Judge, I will see the all bonds made by guardians and
Administrators are qualified bonds.
SETTLEMENTS
If elected your county County Judge, I will see that all Guardians and Administra
tors make settlements with their wards and estates once each year according to law.
I am well acquainted with all the duties of the County Judge’s office and promise
a faithful, honest, conscientious and economical administration. I solicit your vote and
assure you that your support will be appreciated.

TO THE VOTERS OF INDE
PENDENCE COUNTY
At the coming primary, one of the most important offices to be filled
is that of County Clerk. He is the bookkeeper for the county, and we
should be careful to nominate a man who is accurate and pains-taking.
The best man we can secure for this office is none too good to meet the
demands of the public. Aside from the question of simple ability to keep
up the records, the public those who have business with the County
Clerk’s Office—want a man who is both familiar with the work and ready
at all times to furnish desired information to those who have business
with the Clerk, and who is courteous and affable.
I do not attempt to say that any one of the candidates before the peo
for this office does not answer to these requirements but I am firmly of
the opinion that in Mr. J. A. Kennard they are more harmoniously blend
ed than in any one of the several candidates now before us for this office
Let us all rally to the support of

l
Some Doubtful
Transactions
“I’m a little mixed up about this
church business,” said Mrs. Adgate
with a puzzled frown. "Of course I
want to help the church building fund
as much as I possibly can, but I must
confess that it’s a little wearing."
"You've done so much work 1
should think you would be worn out."
said the caller sympathetically. "I've
wondered how you stood it."
“Oh, it isn't the work,” declared
Mrs. Adgate. “It's the bargaining."
“The what?”
"Well, you see, when all the mem
bers of the aid society pledged them
selves to raise a certain sum of
money, I wanted to help. We de
cided, you know, to work as individu
als, rather than all together, so each
one has been doing her best to sell
something."
"It's the best way,” said thp caller
'It keeps every one interested.”
“I suppose it does," sighed Mrs. Ad
gate. "But it's dreadfully annoying to
have Mrs. Stoddard boasting that she’s
earned $10. when I haven't secured
even one dollar."
How does it happen? You are such
a worker, I should think you'd have
more than any one else.”
“Well, you see, I’m selling jellies. 1
put up a great many, too, this year.
Mr. Adgate spoke of it at the time,
and reminded me that we don’t need
so much, now that Sarah's married.
In fact, even when she was at home
we never ate half I made.”
“We never eat up our jellies, either,"
acknowledged the caller. “My hus
hand insists that it. tastes better than
the kind we buy, but, considering what
we give to people or throw away, it's
lots more expensive."
"Of course it is," agreed Mrs. Ad
gate. "So, as I had so much of it,
I decided to offer it at 25 cents a
glass, the proceeds to go to the build
lug fund.”
“That was good of you.”
"The first person I asked." said Mrs.
Adgate, "was Mrs. Rushnell, who is
selling pickle recipes at 15 cents each
When we finished our talk I was ten
cents ahead, because she had given
me a pickle recipe and ten cents for a
glass of jelly.”
"That recipe makes good pickles,"
6ald the caller. “I made some.”
“Tom will not eat pickles,” said
Mrs. Adgate. “The next person I met
asked me to buy a loaf df cake to help
the church fiwd before I had time to
ask her to buy my jelly. It was good
cake, selling for only 50 cents, so 1
exchanged a glass of jelly and 25
cents for one of the loaves.”
“Was it cocoanut cake?”
mVa • oVinonl o to ''
"The cocoanut is belter. I bought
a loaf and we ate it all at one meal."
"We finished our loaf Sunday eve
ning. There are only two of us and
things last so long. The cake was
quite stale by that time."
"Mrs. Huntington Is selling pincush
Ions.” said the caller.
"I know it,” said Mrs. Adgate. “She
charges ten cents for the small ones,
so she gave me 15 cents and a pin
cushion for a glass of my jelly. It’s
red and my room is pink, so I gave ii
to the maid, who likes it immensely
Old Mrs. Clark is knitting mittens
and 1 bought two pairs at 15 cent'
each, giving her five cents and a glass
of jelly.”
"What did you want witli children’s
mittens?”
"That's what 1 don’t know,” laughed
Mrs. Adgate. "But 1 gave them tc
the janitor's little girls, and the?
were as pleased as could be. My nox'
bargain was with Mrs. Newberry. She
had grape juice for sale at 20 cents
so she gave me a nickel and a jar of
it in exchange for my jolly. I dropped
the jar on my way home and It was
smashed. The grape juice watered
the Flints’ lawn, and incidentally
sprinkled my light skirt, which had tc
go to the cleaner's at once Miss
Sophie Flint came out to sec what
had happened and remarked that if
I was buying things she had painted
mottoes for sale, so she hurried in to
get one for me.”
"She does such beautiful work," said
the caller. "Her paintings make love
ly Christmas presents.”
“They do if you care for mottoes,’
said Mrs. Adgate, dubiously. "I don't
The one I bought is ’A l’ennv Saved
Is a Penny Earned.’ Somehow, It is
almost too appropriate."
“Mrs. Smith is selling ribbon belts
and Mrs. Blinn has aprons,” said the
caller. “I haven't heard what the oth
ers have for sale.”
“There are 60 of them!” groaned
Mrs. Adgate. “And I don't see where
I am coming out. I have now sold
five glasses of jelly, receiving 20 cents,
with absolutely nothing to show for
it."
“I'm sorry, but I came in to ask you
to buy,” said the caller, hesitatingly.
"I make old ladies’ caps for 50 cents,
but I'm willing to take two glasses of
Jelly for one cap.”
Uncivil Englishmen.
