a very simple affair this year. The
offices to be filled are county surveyor,

or going begging.
In the Republican camp there is an
opening for three persons to become
delegates to the state convention ana
four to select fromm, and on that
ticket the office of prothonotary is
vacant.
The form of the Democratic official
ballot is reproduced nbove.
The Republican ballot will contain
the following names :
Delegates to State Convention—W,
L. Foster, Hardman P. Harris, Harry
K. Hoffer, Charles A. McClure.
County Chairman—Harry Keller.
County Burveyor—D. W. Pleteher
District Attorney — Edward R.
Chambers.

Keep Your Own Counsel
In cases to be tried or being tried by
jary, especially criminal cases, news.
papers use the good judgment to keep
their own counsel as to their belief in
the innocence or guilt of the person or
persons prosecuted. That is good
sense, and ought to extend to indi
viduals who express themselves reck-
lessly one way or the other, without
having the least bit of information as
to the evidence to be produced. Re-
member, were you asked why you say
sa man is innocent or guilty, ninety- |
nine out of one hundred would be
obliged to say: [I think Your
thinking will neither acquit nor con-
viet, consequently you had better think
in a thoughtful manner, and keep your
own counsel,

the north and western portions of the

flakes could be plainly seen flying

point. Bunday morning ice was
frozen over water standing in vessels
to the depth of almost one inch, and
the ground was covered with a thick
hoar frost. In some places the
ground was also frozen.

knows whether he’s wasting mouey or
not, when he paints. It depends on
the paint.
With one paint, your job will take
10 gallons and cost $50 for paint and
labor;
with another 12 and cost $60;
with another 14 and cost 70;
with another 16 and cost 80;
with another 18 and cost 90;
with another 20 and cost 100;
with another 22 and cost 110.
Here's an example. Professor Irvine
of the Academy, Mercersburg, Pa,
painted the floors of his dormitories
every year, one year with one paint,
next year the paint of the other dealer
there—to divide the business between
them-till Devoe came to town.
The job took 90 gallons; takes 60
Devoe. The difference, 30 gallons,
$160. He didn't know he was losing
$160 a year till he got Devoe,
