In seeking re-election to the office, of covnty treasurer, I feel that 1 am' fltterl h'J Ions training and expei-j lence, to continue to give the people efficient service. During my terms of office tliej work liUb been largely increased by j the legislature without a single aJ-l vanco lit salary and by the naturutj Increase caused by changing economic conditions. And the county court lias been abked to pay out but one bill of $15.00 for deputy hire during this! time, and that on account of having: to refund special road tax held by the court to be lllegnlly collected. Each year when taking vacations, 1 have paid the office help left In charge, out of my own personal tunds. Tho last legislature transferred the tax collecting department from the sheriff's office to tho treasurer's office thereby making It desirable for tho taxpayers to keep a "trained man on tho job." I have conducted this office on strict business principles, In the In terest of all tho people, and If you want that kind of a county treasurer for the succeeding term I will be very grateful for your Influence aud voto.

Philadelphia Housing Commission's Experiment Bears Good Results. One of the many Important activities of the Philadelphia uouhIhk coijhuIh kIoii. ns shown by Its recently pub lished annual report. )ihh been a study of the ettk-lency of the bureau of street clennhiK In the congested arena. Here It was found that the tenants were largely to blame for dirty streets. They would wrap up their Kurbn?e In paper and throw it into the street irutters. or they would sweep the dirt from their stores and yards upon the pavement, or they would throw waste paper and rubbish into the street, so that wlt'iln an hour after the street cleaners had rX-ne Jbtvih the street would be practically as filthy ns be fore. The commission felt that little could bo accomplished in such areas by urg ing the street cleaners to more effi cient service unless there .was close co operation on the part of the tenants. Assistant Chief Neull took n personal Interest In tho proposition placed be fore hi in nnd aided In securing a sum of money to purchase rubbish cans. A trial nrea of eight blocks In one of the dirtiest sections of the city wns plotted nnd sixty cans placed. Special circulars In English and Yiddish were distributed. Visitors speaking various languages were sent to every family to explain the purpose of the cans and to urge (hem to en-operate. Tho princi pals nnd teachers of the public schools in the neighborhood nnd the settlement workers were asked to Instruct their scholars about the cans and the im portance of keeping the streets clean. This campaign was duplicated several times, so that the adults as well as the children In the district became fully Informed. The campaign was sudlclently effective to warrant coun cils to aulhorlze the purchase of 1.-IJ-2 more cans to continue the experiment on ii larger scale. puC A ' 'ilro.e ot Genius."

' commercial club, says a cuntributut to the University Missouriun. Hut there has been an unwarranted mis I use of the term In the last few years. I Many so called commercial clubs an- merely unorganized groups of busl ness men of a city who meet whenevci ! any one comes along with some pel , scheme. They net only when acti-u upon. Hut a real commeivlat club i ' something more than that. : A rent commercial club is one thai meets regularly. At each meetiui: ! some of the memlers give talks on , things they think will make the town 1 better. The nfeds of a town are (lis cussed and ways and means of gettinu these needs satisfied are brought out In that way they are ready to adopt any new plan that is for the best in teicsts of their cily. There is Just as niU'h di (Terence between an organiza tion of (his sort and one that Is loose ly organised as between a well trained army and an army of new recruits. There are so many things that a good eoinnieivla! club can do that it ' seems hardly possible to conceive of a town not having one. Yet there are many (owns throughout this state whl-h do not have one. They can look nfter the sanitation of the city. : paving, street cleaning, lire protection, safety of public buildings, nuisances iiiul ether thinvrs They can wateh out fur new enterprises and send rep re cental lies lo interview prospective ;n onioteis and show them why they i should mote to the elty.
