A MESSAGE
TO VOTERS
As the November election is
approaching it is time to con­
sider the matter of choosing
your circuit judge. I am the
regularly nominated candidate
for the office, on the Demo­
cratic ticket. In laying my
case before you I am not con­
cerned with party politics, as
this is purely a local office
and, more than any other of­
fice, should be divorced from
politics.
I am relying on the intelli­
gence of the voters to make
their choice on purely person­
al qualifications; to pick the
man who can render the most
efficient and dependable ser­
vice. Io this end 1 invite the
most rigid scrutiny of my past
record. My life in Astoria has
been an open book; here 1
have lived, reared my family
and practiced law for over 12
years.
During that time I have al­
so served as U. S. Commission­
er for 8 years, and my support
of strict enforcement of our
federal laws in that office is
a matter of public record.
During the same period I serv­
ed for almost 5 years as city
attorney for Astoria. I took
that office shortly after the
destruction of the city by fire
in 1922; and so had charge of
the entire reconstruction pro­
gram. My record there shows
less litigation for the city than
almost any like period of
time, with many times more
public works carried on than
in any like period of time. In
fact onlv one lawsuit grew
out of ail these public works,
and that was decided in favor
of the city.
The above record speaks for
itself.

which is described in the bulletin.
Fertilization Is Aid
Proper fertilization has been
found to make crops less liable to
unfavorable seasonable conditions.
It is not a cure-all for every ill,
however, as general soil manage­
ment is essential in controlling soil
moisture, the physical condition and
chemical reaction and other factors.
Explains Best Caponizing Method
Caponizing fowls by means of
but one slit reduces the ’tendency
to "wind puffs” which frequently
result from this operation, reports
W. T. Johnson, poultry pathologist
at the Oregon station, in answer to
a question from a poultryman.
These wind puffs also follow jagg’d
incisions made in an operation. They
are more or less harmless unless
so big as to cause the fowl incon­
venience in which case they may
be stopped by making a three-cor­
nered skin incision to release the
air.

Sophomores Initiating
Freshmen This Week
EDITORIAL NOTES
The sophomores are making this
week an enjoyable one for the poor
freshmen. We seniors still have
very vivid recollections of how we
were treated during freshman week
of our first year in the high school.
We think now that we were taught
some good lessons by the sopho­
mores through our initiation into
the high school though we thought
to the contrary then.
