On.the eve of the general election, few men can be found who will make a definite prediction as to the out- come of the race for présidency. ' It seems to be the general opinion, however, that Woodrow Wilson will poll the best vote in this county and that he and Roosevelt will fight it out for the state. Many believe that there will be no election and that the whole matter will go to the house of representatives next January. The Town of Summit, Farmers in the town of Summit are as progressive as any in an other town in the state of Minnesota. Re- cently they have graded their main road, graveled nearly three miles of it and so worked it that any auto- mobile can make forty miles an hour without jarring. They have a club which meets once a month in the town hall and which invites in speakers to make addersses on sub- Jjects of interest to the farmers. They have a town hall, with enough ad- Jacent land for a cemetery and a town warehouse. The farms are well kept, the men: have a telephone line, their school is one of the best in the county and they are raising good crops. Altogether, the town of Sum- mit is some town. Our Candidates.

JUMPS ON RUSTY SIDEWALK NAIL. ‘While working on a well digging machine a Minnesota man jumped upon a rusty sidewalk spike. The -nail drove part of his black woolen sock far up into his foot. He remov- ed 38 much of the sock as he could, put on Allen’s Ulcerine Salve, and Xkept right on with his work. The salve drew out parts of the sock and all other poisons and in a week his foot was healed up. 2 “This salve is one of the oldest rem- edies in America and since 1869 it has been known as the only salve powerful enough to cure chronic ulcers and old sores of long standing. Allen’s Ulcerine Salve acts by drawing out the poisons and healing the sore from the bottom up. It is 8o powerful that it heals mew cuts and sores in one-third the time that common salves and liniments take. And it heals scalds and burns wi out & scar,—Adv, g .. e e e ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————eeeseeeeeseeeeeeeeeee e ————— ettt et The Point of Vie is section is almost mountain- ous,” remarked the pedestrian. to his companion as they trudged along a country road one summer’s day car rying heavy grips. < “Yes, it's.a bit hilly,” said the farms er a few minutes later as he drove hi buckboard. “Nice, rolling country, served the automobilist to his chauf- feur as they whizzed by in a big tour ing car.

L. - George of Bemidji, Minn., $10 for series To the Taxpayers of Beltrami Coun- ty: The undersigned has made but lif- tle stir in his position as candidate for re-election to the office of county auditor, for several reasons. Either I have heen a good auditor or a poor |needed in ‘the matter'of systematizing jf | which should have been opened years J| | succeed me in the office. [ONEER . a8 'well save my time and mon- ey and get back to the “woods.” It the former is the case, as I feel cer- tain it is, others must know it. and it 1= not necessary for me to blow my own-horn. I have worked faithfully for two years in the service of the people and have accomplished much that was the office, opening new records, ago, bringing up the meglected back work, and putting matters generally in gcod shape for whomsoever might I was under a great handicap when I took the-office a year ago last Jan- uary. I know nothing regarding the affairs of the office, and knowing flothlng, perhaps promised more tflun I was able to fulfill. Had I béen Jacking in nerve and business sys- ‘tem, I would have feared to go 'go beyond the limit of clerk hire allow- ed by law, and in so doing would have placed a limit on the work to, be done. 4 Expecting, however, to pay out: of my own pocket for all extra clérk hire, 1 at once put an extra force:at work, supposing all back work could be cleaned up in a few months. For- tunately the legislature of 1911 pass- ed a law giving the commissioners of certain counties of small valuation, the right to -increase the .ordinary clerk hire of auditors to an amount which might be necessary to accomp- lish the work, subject to the approval of the public examiner and the at- torney general. Owing to their abil- ity to judge of the work, these two gentlemen at once agreed, and the board of commissioner have been quick to realize the value of the work done, thus granting the increase readily, I.have two deputies and two clerks, all of experience and there is not a lazy bone in any of them. They have been willing to work nights, Sun- days and holidays and have needed no driving at any time. I have never expected them to work unless I was working with them, The current work has largely in- creased in the last two years. More tax certificates were 1ssued in 1911 than had been issued in all the pre- vious years since the organization of the county, and more were issued in 1912 than for all years before in- cluding 1911. Each one of these cer- tificates means more than ten times the amount of work needed, if taxes were paid up promptly, instead of be- ing allowed to go into judgment. Regarding the policy of changing auditors every two years, I can say only this: I have been in the office It matters not where you reside or \yhat you wa FRIHRARRRRARRIR KRR K w L B a Fokkkkdk ok ok kkkk x IR IR RK AR IR HK * one.

A new auditor would require as much time to learn the routine and then probably give way to another in two years. No first class business house would think of doing such a thing,| Experience is what they want and are willin‘to pay for. 7 The auditors’ office 18 the last place, where a change of head is beneficial to the taxpayers. There are too many matters in process at all times, matters that require a week or a month to complete, and if changes are made the system is broken and chaos reigns once'more. J. L.
