J. H. Buck, the. gejyaJJblacksmith

Former Cass County Pedagog, Now
in Scotts Bluff County! As
pires to Office.
To take the place of a candidate
for superintendent of schools in
Scotts Bluff county, who was regu
larly nominated in the primaries
last July, but has since removed from
the state, friends of M. A. Sams at
Scottsbluff propos to file a petition
petition to have the vacancy filled
by placing his name on the ticket.
The attorney general's office has
been asked by F. M. Butts, office
manager at Lincoln for the Nebras
ka farm bureau federation about
the legal aspects of the situation.
Mr. Butts is a friend of Mr. Sams
and wanted to know what procedure
should be followed.
The county superintendent is said
to have held that a vacancy on the
nonpolitical ticket cannot be filled
by the petition method. The state
supreme court held that way in 1918,
but a new law enacted in 1921 pro
vides that this may be done.
Sams, whom Cass county people
will remember as having been for a
number of years head of the schools
at Louisville and at one time repub
lican candidate for county superin
tendent in this county, was an un
successful candidate for the office in
the July primaries in Scotts Bluff
county, where he now makes his
home.
Those nominated were Mrs. Mir
iam Southwell and Miss Ella Mc
Intyre, but the latter has since ac
cepted a teaching position in Salt;
Lake City and is now there. She
published a statement in the paper
favoring Mrs. Southwell's election.
Secretary of State Amsberry, who
was consulted on the matter, thinks
it is one for the county authorities
to settle, but he points out that
under the law a vacancy on the
non-political ticket for county office
may be filled by a petition' signed by
10 per cent of the electors in the
county.

FOR FINE INTERIOR DECORATING
THEY SAID IT
N. P. Lindberg, originator of the
slogan, "Say it with flowers," is kill
ed in an auto accident in North Da
kota. As you suspected, he was a
florist.
His famous four word slogan has
sold more flowers than any 10,000
florists that ever lived. And the slo
gan was not carefully thought out.
lindberg coined it off-hand, almost
abseit mindedly, in conversation a.
a national convention of florists.
That is what a gambler tails
chance. It is chance, the sudden ap
pearance of the unexpected, that
shapes our destinies and makes life
interesting. Never get discouraged.
Chance probably has something bet
ter in store.
