Oldtime winter minimum tempera
tures are being recorded by the gov
ernment thermometers at the court

milder. The record last Saturday

day night 15 below and Monday night
6 degrees below. At no time during
this period was the thermometci
above zero.
It is barely possible that the animus
behind the attacks of the parrot on
county offiicals both republican and
democrat may be the failure of its
owner to feed at the public trough ir
recent years. The records at the court
house show that in 1919 George A
Miles, owner of the parrot, drew ir
county warrants the very sizeable sun:
of $2818.20. This was at a time wher
prices of material had not reached the
peak and when the parrot salary rol
was not unduly heavy, most of the
labor about the office being performed
by members of the family. The clain
register, according to the parrott
shows that from January 8, 1921, t(
January 4, 1922, D. II. Cronin, ownei
of The Frontier, has filed claim:
totalling $2091.70, although materia
prices have not receded to the 1918 am
1919 levels and Th«T Frontier pays ;
living wage to its employees. Th
parrot bills to the county exceed thos<
of The Frontier more than ^ third, de
spite these facts. County officials ar
to be commended for refusing longe
to accede to the exorbitant demands o
the parrot although their refusal t
do sc. subjects them to the abuse o
the bird.
