RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher MONDAY’S ELECTION The light vote in the election on amendments to the city charter was perhaps to be expected. Charter amend­ ments are ponderous things, necessarily weighted down with legal phraseology baffling to the layman and opin­ ions on a mass of verbiage are not likely to be readily formed. Further, measures are never so interesting as persons, as John Jones running for office is likely to attract to the polls a bigger number of those who want him and those who do not than is a proposition about bonds, coupons and what not. It is noteworthy that opinion on each of the proposed amendments was unmistakble. From the time the first few ballots were counted, the yeas predominated for the first three amendments and the noes for the remaining one. Had the propositions to elect the recorder and the mar­ shal been separated, it is not unlikely that the former would have won. However, it is easy to conjecture what would have happened if ... . NO WOLF CREEK ROAD No construction of the Wolf Creek highway from Elsie to Sunset Camp for a long time to come, announced Chairman Scott this week, in effect. For if federal money is not allocated to it, how soon can the state expect to be in shape to finance the project? Not very soon. Vernonia’s disappointment naturally is not so keen as if the Vernonia-Hamlet route had been designated and then shoved into the indefinite future. So perhaps there is some consolation that Vernonia did not get the road. HOT PACK METHOD IS ADVISED FOR CANNING BEANS, ETC. Riverview Everett Rundell Mrs. Sarah V.

Judgment comes only with the years. Experience is a bitter medicine administered by life itself, and must be taken with a bit of conscience. Wisdom is a phantom often chased but seldom overtaken. Success or fail­ ure are a matter of opinion. Reputation is the golden scale. Contentment the final objective. Intelligence is what you get —Buckeye, Archbold, Ohio. from home.

The governor’s committee agrees that there should be no saloons in the state. A convinced committee is perhaps the easiest step in the whole procedure. There’s many a high hurdle after that to be topped, If the blue eagle is a sign of returning prosperity, Old Man Depression is rolling up his blankets for a long hitch-hike, The Nazis may not know it, but their down­ fall has begun.

Thornburgh, Caahiar "Although prices are advancing in all lines of farm commodities, the Holstein-Friesian Association of America has Just recently an­ nounced the greatly reduced rates to transfer and register purebred Holstein cattle,” said County Agent Nelson, yesterday. "At the convention of this association held last month at Chicago, the delegates voted to hold a mora­ torium and registry and transfer charges from now until August 15. All dairymen who have Hol­ stein cattle which have not been registered should take advantage of this reduced rate and bring all their registry papers up to date.” The new rates are reduced to 75 cents for registry of either sex of Holstein cattle regardless of age, by either members or non­ members of the association, Transfer fees have been reduced to one dollar regardless of date of sale, and life membership in the association has been reduced LODGES A* F. & A.
