Ex- Sheriffs of the various coun ties of the state are receiving blanks which they are requested to fill out, approximating the amount of money which should have been due them for serving writs, summons, processes, subponeas, venires and notices orig inating in their office between Jan uary 1,1905, and December 13, 1908, which moneys were collected by the proper officers and turned over to the county treasurer.

A test case has just been tried in Brown county nnd the decision of the court is being awaited witn no small amount of interest, so that it may be taken the supreme court for final action.

We sometimes wonder how the small boy of today can ever become full grown man without the aid of boots. The inventor of jockey leg-gins must have had this Idea in mind for the red top with patent cuff gives every appearance of boots. The small boy takes to them instinctively, and acts very much like you did on seeing your first pair of boots. A pair of jockey, legglns fitted, over. a pair of Educator Shoes would please boy more than anything you could give him for Christmas, We might add Slippers are very a a a a i accepuDie lor oioer people.

ROSS-SHOES In Chicago Than During Remainder of Year. A tirw ii avK st-jkLl aoau iul tit rl'aVtt distributed to bank aud factory era plpyea in -Chicago will help swell "the Christmas cheer the grim coalmen is made that "Chrwtmas comes hat once a year" and there was ample chance for' hunger in theinteVims. This unseasonably grim comment was due to the disclosures made by the Vice commission concerning a for getf ulness of employes during 51 weeks of the year, which the Christ mas turkeys and gtild iieces are designed to balance. The report states: 'In all large cities there is a svstera of common school education which is thorough and very good in most cases. It educates the desires of young boys and girls to a point of at least decent living in comfort.

It alcio gives them the power of analyzing their own positions, and the positions of those who surround them. It is inevitable that when such young men end young women go out into life, they would be very ambitious that in a few years they will be running some establishment. But later on a man reaches $12.00 or $15.00 a week, and the woman $7.00 or $8.00, and find themselves units in a vast array of clerical and office help, with no hope for bettering their condition! This results in creating class in society, too intelligent to burden the world with children whom they cannot support and educate, and fill society with homes where only the fath er works, and homes which naturally will be more frequeuted by histall It I tnent collectors for furniture, than by happiness of any other socially comfortable thing. It has been established after exhaustive study that it is quite impossible for a working girl in any large city to live on less than eight dollars per week, yet employers say that they pay on an average of from $6.00 to $7.00 per week. This is all the girls are worth they maintain, the law of supply and demand regulates all this'.

And because the unskilled girl workers are a drug on the market the employer keeps piling up enormous profits and paying' great dividends, sometimes extra dividends." Successful Entertainment. The high school entertainment, Vuuity Fair, Saturday aftenioon and evening proved a great success. It afforded pleasure for a large number of patrons and proved profitable to the promoters. About three hun dred personswere served in the dining room pnd the German, candy, needlework, ice creany booths, fish pond and fortune teller afforded amusement and profit. A program was given by the high school glee club and German band.

Ray R. Keaoh has an electric train in his show window running on a continuous electric" track. It is attracting considerable attention and among. the boys there is a strong hope that Santa Clans will not forget the train when he makes his rounds'. Saturday evening a strong draft from the rear slammed the front door as a customer left the Ray Keach store.

The Columbus Republican in discussing his candidacy says: The local democrats claim they can get most if not all of the Johnson and Decatur' county delegations.
