Did you know that the Lincoln
County Farm Hureaii has boon al
lowed to use (ho office rooms on the
thin! floor or tin- Federal Building?
Have you been up and made tho ao-

Have you told him that you nro go
ing to stand back of him In his work ;
In Llnocln County and help him to j
do something for agriculture hero?
It Ik not too late for men are doing !
this very thing every day. I
Yesterday morning u lady called
our office and asked us If wo know
whoro sho could get a woman to como
to hor houso anil holp her for a day
or two. Wo told hor wo did not. Wo
have been led to bollove that there
aro a lot of people who cannot buy
what they want and need because they
do not havo any Income. Then thoy
.should- want a job. If thoy want
work they should let It ho known.
Wo havo tried to do our sharo In holp
fng" thorn out by offering to run a no
tlco of the Job wanted freo for two
Issues. Wo still continue tho offer
and know that thero aro nil kinds of
work to be done If tho worker can be
found.
;:o:;
Thoro are some people In North
l'lattc who do not llko athletics In
the schools. They always argue that
thoro arc other forms of school
work which would do more good and
then ond up by mentioning debating.
Wo would naturally expect these
people to bo at tho Joint dobato to
morrow night. Hut thoy won't bo
thero. Thoy aro vapid as their argu
ments. Yot lf they would go thoy
would find that dobato ly ono of tho
most exciting - .id thrilling of all Inter-school
activities. Ono reason why
there are-no many basket ball games
and so fow debates Is that the people
here patronize tho games and up to
date have not patronized tho debates.
::o::
Our attention was called to the tax
figures In our nows columns In con
nection with ft charge that tho County
officials wore all grafters. Tho man
who Bald that wiw profoundly Ignor
ant of tho facts. The wliols amount
spent In tho County is less than
nlno per cent of the total tax. If
uxtonslvo grafting were possible on
this amount what about the othor 01
Ivor cent of tho tnxes? And yet thoro
has never been a question of tho
expenditure of these othor funds. Wo
have elected honest men to tho County
offices and thoy aro handling tho vory
nnmcu amount oi money ni xuotr
disposal In a business llko jnannor.
Tho Commissioners, who really spend
the County money, aro in session
every Monday and the meetings are
open to anyone It lsnot vory
becoming for n man or woman to
shoot off about such mattors. until ho
or sho has Investigated. Then if ho
or she feels that thoro Is a just cuuho
for complaint tho wholo people will
ho ready to hear.
