COMMISSIONERJWHITE gj HOLDS OVER 2 YEARS FILKS INJUNCTION AGAINST COUN TY CLERK TO KEEP OTHER NAMES OFF TICKET According to ruling of (he Supremo Court and RcniiUh of Test Unties, Ills Term Dees not Expire for An other Ycnr. . County Commissioner D. B. Whlto filed an Injunction suit in the district clerk'B offlco Wednesday to enjoin County Clerk Yost from placing tho names of other candidates for county commissioner from tho third district on the primary ballot on tho grounds that his term has not yet oxplred and he will not be obliged to mako the race this fall. Cases similar to this havo been brought out quite frequent ly of late and only a short time ago Judge Grimes doclded In favor of tho Incumbent In ofllce In Dawson county. This Btato of affairs Is tho result of a measure passed at a recent ses sion of tho state legislature extending tho term of county commissioners to four yearB. Tho measure was made to apply to those who wore at present In ofllce. Tho measuro was pasBed,last year. Mr. Whlto was elected to ofllce In tho fall of 1911 and took office In 1912. For this reason he has one more year to serve and as there will bo no county election next year ho will hold over for another year, making his term five years. Mr. Whlto is tho only candidate on tho democratic ticket from tho third district. Tho republicans, however have D. M. Loypoldt up as a, candidate for nomination and ho will now be obliged to withdraw from the race.

He had butted everything into immediate flight, from the yellow dog to the tax collector. The day the first express came tearing ia at thirty miles an hour, the goat met the engine "half way.' As the deacon stood thoughtfully amid a "shower of goat remnants" a friend said: "Well, deacon, what do you think of your goat now? "Oh" said the deacon, "I admire his courage but damn his judgment." The mun who reasons that all lumber is alike because it LOOKS alike, has several more thinks coming. There is a diff erence in lumber a big difference, as you can readily see by com paring our fine grades with others. We refuse to accept any thing from tho manufacturers that is below our high standard of quality, and when it comes to lumber, shingles, plaster, cement, etc., there's not another yard hv these parts can give you the values' that we can. Show your good judgment anyway, by seeing us before buy ing. C. F. Iddings Company, North Platte, Nebraska.
