If you are tired of the agitation - tion to divide grand old Custer county refuse to sign a petition with that object in view-if handed you for that purpose-and stick to it. The easiest way to do away with this unwholesome ! agitation i to keep your name off the petitions. The div sion- ists askedlfor a fair . , square vote the propositio.n and they got it , were beaten-and badly beaten. It will be the Rame thing over ag-ain if you sign the petition. Don't do it-for another s ven years at least. A Broken Bow club woman has been keeping tab on a few thin : s aud says that the year 1907 will be a red let ter one for her sex.
