Polk county is offering to the people of this dis trict a strong candidate for state senator in Hon. I. L. Patterson of Kola. Mr. Patterson was born in Kings Valley, Ben ton county, a little over fifty years ago and conse quently he has a deep interest in Benton county as well as Polk. The editor of the Monitor has had a long ac quaintance with Mr. Patterson and that acquain tance is such that we speak advisedly when we say Benton and Polk counties can make no mistake in nominating him as their candidate for the lm- portant office of sena or. lie lias had experience as a legislator and was the senator from Marion county at one time for a term of four years and was an active, energetic and successful official while boldintr that position. Later he was appoint ed collector of customs, which position he held throutrh a part of two presidential terms. In later years Mr. Patterson has returned to the farm and is now managing and opeiating tne ex tensive Gilbert and Patterson properties at Kola. He knows the needs of Benton and Polk coun ties and has the ability and standingover the state r iinmnlKh c.nn1 rosnlts for the People of tll'S section. An untried man for the position of sen ?ir ..otitmr in thi wnrk that a man can who has had experience, and no man in Polk county could and would accomplish as much as Mr. Patterson, so the Monitor unqualifiedly makes the announce ment that it wishes to see the people unite to elect I. L. Patterson as the next senator from Benton and Polk counties. SUMMER SUNSHINE MAKES US GLAD. TIT 1 I 1 t. we an like tne sunshine. It invigorates and makes us feelgood. The dark, cloudy days are often gloomy days, but sunshine dispells the shadows and gloom and gives the world a roseate hue that makes us feel like working and singing, 'lis the same with the "disposition." If you rauiate sun3Dine, dispsl darkness and gloom, you make your tellovv man feel happier and better. If your town has a gloomy "bunch" you get the gloomy spirit and you say this town is no good; it is no place to live in: things are dead; but if you look for the silver lining beyond the 1 cloud you are inspired with hope and faith and conseqent- ly tne town iooks good to you, you. see things in it that are progressive and you become a booster and not a knock er, lie a booster, believe in sunshine.. rr rr is good, we have it.
