nominated from Platte something is
known of him and his record. The same
can be said of the Platte people when the
nomination comes from thia county.
Voters like to know as near as possible
for whom they are casting their ballots,
especially when it comes as near being a
local affair as electing a state senator.
With this county and Saunders as one
senatorial district very few people in one
coanty would know anything of the can
didate in the other. For this reason we
believe it would be better to sacrifice a
little as to apportionment and give the
people a better chance to know for whom
they are voting. Schuyler San.

Farmers are now beginning to prepare
for the coming fray in their fields. By
the way this month is a good time to
select hired help for the farm, and in
choosing, if you have one in view, that
you believe would exert his muscle and
judgment to your best interest under all
circumstances, don't loose that person
for the sake of a couple of dollars a
month, as. after the first of April, you
must hire whom you can get. and usually
get disappointed.
Personal taxes are now delinquent
and are drawing ten per cent interest.
Under the law. it is cot necessary for
the coanty treasurer to give you notice,
you are supposed to know whether you
have paid the taxes or not. Taxes on
real estate are not delinquent until after
May first.
