That is the question every man asks himself when he sees one of these marvelous machines in operation. Many people call at the Observer office every week to see the linotype at work, and the Invariable comment Is, "How did any man ever think it out?" The Slergen- thaler linotype stands supreme among the products of human Ingenuity. So far as we have been able to as certain, from a careful reading of state exchanges. Polk County holds the record for the lowest tax levy for the year 1910. For this gratifying con dition of affairs, the credit belongs to Assessor C. S. Graves for a careful and business-like assessment, and to the County Court for a capable and econ omloal administration of the county's finances. The work is good, and de serves commendation.

M. San ders: The editor says: "When a good man dies, the world loses something. It will go on, It Is true, much as It did before, for there are many good men, but some of us will notice that the darkness Is a little thicker in one corner, for a light has gone out. t "When a good citizen dies, the com munity feels the loss. It will miss his sane and wholesome counsel and ex ample. It will miss his Influence for civio righteousness and listen in vain for his voice ln defense of nubile good. "When a good father dies, the home loses Ha rightful head. There are others, near and dear, but a father's mace can never be filled. The home will not be broken, for It has been welded together by ties of love and sympathy under his direction, but It will have a vacant chair. "When a good teacher dies, the pu pils whom he taught lose a kind and patient friend. They will have many icacners in later years, for both time ana circumstances will Instruct them, but nothing will wield so personal and beneficent an Influence over their lives as did the teacher of their youth.
