Board Member’s Tenure of Office. The term of a Board member does not end at the termination of any state, county or other office that he may be holding. In other words, his failure to be re-elected or his resigna tion as a county official does not in any way affect his status as a mem ber of an exemption board. If be cause of his change of status as a county official he is compelled to so change his occupation or place or residence that it is impossible for him to continue to serve upon the ex emption Board, it is possible that be might, be relieved from service on the Board upon his filing with the Gov emor his request accompanied by f full statement of the facts, but until such request is granted he continues as a member of the Board. By direction of __ _ GOVERNOR NEVILLE. rpTiiic"T.Rgl ^ 11 But find it hard to make both ends meek There never was a time in my life when a gj I ^ j': dollar bought—so—as little as it does, today. I have been asked to do my share in the | f | |U National wide Campaign of Saving, and I’M DOING IT. I have been asked to eat less gJ| jfj wheat, meat and su^ar, and PM DOING IT. I have been asked to wear my old clothes, gj j 1 save my money, and back the Government with every dollar I can, and I’M DOING IT. jj| I But I Must Have Help ( Too, If I am to work my best and do what is asked, I must sell my good shoes. A poorly shod man can’t do a good day’s work. There are shoes made under good conditions for the worker that give the wear I need, and are sold at prices I can afford. They are Peters’ Black Diamond Shoes Remember that we workers are the great mass of the j buying public, and more than ever before, must watch what ' we PAY and what we GET for shoes. “Team Work” is the big national need. If you want to help me save money for other things; if you want my trade; wear the shoes I sell, and you will find a reason why you can do better and get more service'out of our line of Shoes, by confining your purchase to our line, than by dividing your buying. The most successful shoe men buy one good line and stick to it. A pair of shoes for every member of the family. Always look for the “BLACK DIAMOND” and you will find them solid leather, combined with good looks. ■ ... -- . ----- -
