1910 The qo PerCent Law For District Posey Popular People Wed CLAWSOK BENSON Last Monday forenoon at eleven oclock at -the home of the brides parents, Mr, Mrs. Ben Benson, in Wooster, was solemnized the marriage of their daughter, Theodosia, to Lee Gilmer Clawson. Only a few near relatives and friends were in attendance. At the appointed Jiour the couple, attended by Virgil Bryan and Miss Iva Brown, tpok their places and the Rev. A.

L. Huribut of Mt. Zion pronounced the ceremony that made Athey cows. rt. Oftsn the Man father Than the Cattle Marks the Hard Standard.

The good cow Is an investment. The amount-we shall be able to make out of her depends entirely upon how much of feed and care and cow sense we put into her. She may be bred ever so well and be capable of doing a great and profitable work, but if bar ways have fallen, into the hands of an Ignorant, stingy or careless man her birthright of royalty is reduced to scrub conditions. All this for the good COW. The poor cow is a poor cow, and that is all there is to it, and we need waste nQ saltpeter on But I believe In defense of hery she not being' a tree that always somewhere in the early pedigree of the poor cow Is wrlt- ra noii queen ia rom xx.

ten the stigma of a poor, scrub man. Many an intrinsically good cow is handicapped jby such an ownjer, who is limiting the scope of her possibilities. If It were possible for the cow for a short 'time to change places with the man and she run the dairy on lines of her ability and experience and weed out and I feed up her former owner, what, changes we would have in some dairy matters what an uplift wpuld come to the business I It is the man rather than the cows that marks the standard of the herd. Takev for' instance, the pure bred Holstein cow De Kol Queen La Polka GOOD Democratic candidates who, at the reoent primary election, secured Jess than twenty per cent of the vote cast at the last general election for the partys candidate for governor, may not have their names printed on the election ballot under the party designation but may have theur printed a separate column under the head of Independents. This is the judgment of the su preme court in the two cases.brought by direction of Chairman J.

E. Davies of the democratic state central committee to test the constitutional- ity of the 20 percent' feature of the primary election law. The oases were thofte of state ex rel MoGreal against Phelps and state ex rel-Hanna against Frear, to compel the boards of canvassers to certify the names of the petitioners as those of the regular nominees of the democratic party. The court makes an extended statement of its findings in the cash and holds that the law is constitutional although two of the justices, Winslow and Timlin, dissent from some of the conclusion. The two cases before the court jn-volve the same 'questions and the opinion in the BicGreal case is.

made to serve for both. The result of the decision is that various democratic candidates for county and legislative offices in the state who failed to get the 20 percent necessary will not appear go the official ballot as party candidates but may appear as independent candidates. How He enjoyed handing over the resurrected boy to bis mother and the resurrected girl to her father and reconstructing homesteads which disease or death was breaking up I As the song Home Sweet Home was written by. amah, who atihat, time Had no home, so we think the homelessness of Christ added to his appreciation of domesticity. Furthermore He was lovely in His sympathies.

Now dropsy is a most distressful complaint. It inflames and swells and tortures any limb or physical organ it touches As soon as a case of that kind is submitted to Christ, He, without auy use of diaphoretics, commands its cure. And whst an eye doctors He was for open ing the long-closed gates of sight to the blue of the sky, and the yellow of the flower and the emerald of the grass 1 What a Christ He was for cooling fevers without sq much as. a spoonful of febrifuge, and straightening crooked backs without any pangs of- surgery, and standing whole choirs of. music along the -silent galleries of a deaf ear, and giving healthful neryous system jbo catalep-ticsl Sympathy!

Those same cases further show that at all times he fans been the attorney for men who were seeking to maintain tieir rights against predatory corporations, etc. The first sue cesslnl case in Wisconsin against the beet combine of Chicago, was fought out by Mr. Athey alone, against a large number of the best attorneys, in the Circuit and Superior courts of Douglas county.

Wis cousin. Since coming to Crawford county, Mr, Atjbey has taken an active interest in. jjhe. affairs of the county. A few years ago he commenced suits against some unfaithful officials of the ccmnty as attorney for taxpayers, and without one cent of expense to the taxpayers of the county, caused to be paid Into the county treasury many hundreds pf dollars.

The result of cases has been a closer scrutiny of claims against the county, "that fact accounts for the bitterness at hostility to him of certain men whose comiectlon.with the county treasury has been too close for the good of the taxpayers Those men hate him and have good cause to do so, but that is a reason why the taxpayers shoulc support him. He is courageous anc able, and as said by Jerry O'Neil in last weeks Kickapoo Chief, "lie would take a special pride in the discharge of the duties of the office. No man acquainted with BIr. Athey doubts his ability or his determina- tion, and that he would, if elected, discharge all the duties of the office with credit and to the satisfaction of the people. UPWABD AND ONWARD Keep the heart pure and the brain active.

Studv for the best, and when you have found it, work and study for something still Never be satisfied, with one good act nor a hundred nor a thousand. But add them together one after the other till at last you will haVe a string of pearls to lift you higher; instead of pebbles to sink you lower. Hearts, like houses, can, be built out. Minds like homes, can be beautified It is as easy to plant a noble ambition to plant sordid desirea and trees which bear only bitter Remember that it is little by little, inch by inch, but steadily upward. This is the way the work of the man becomes a mansion.

This is the way the poor boy becomes the great man. This is the way the apprentice be-comes the master, and the intelligence of mortals the power and unknown greatness of those, who are immortal. Build your walls of. good material and they will last. Be kind to the poor, for eyery good act is a plant that will bear blossoms to our credit in the beautif ul-beyond.
