Third District County Chairmen
Meet at Norfolk.
i
Norfolk, Nebr. August 10. Chairman
William Hayward of the Republican
state committee, who was appointed sec
retary of the Republican national com
mittee last Saturday, arrived in Norfolk
Sunday evening, and on Monday held
the seventh of the series of conferences
which he nas been noiamg wun county
ohairmen of Nebraska this and last week.
The strenuous conference trip across
Nebraska, which has included a meeting
every day in different cities in the state,
during the last ten days, is nearing the
end, with the last at Valentine on Tues
day, where Chairman Hayward was rep
resented by Secretary F. P. Corrick, of
the state committee, the pressure of
business compelling the chairman's
presence at Lincoln.
The conference was uniformly gratify -
ins from a republican standpoint, for
the chairmen of northeastern Nebraska
brought with them news of as satisfying
a nature as could be expected. The
reports were generally favorable for a
strong showing for Taft and Sherman
and the state ticket, as the county organ
izations are in line for a vigorous cam
paign against the democratic ticket in
this part of the state.
Among the chairmen in attendance
today were: O. A. Smith of -Tilden; L.
P. Tomer of Pierce; Frank Nelson, Nio
brara; S. B. Horehead, Albion; A. Vance
Anderson, Neligb; J. P.Gilligan, O'Neil;
J. K. Moore, Bristow; A. B. Davis,
Wayne; Louis Smithberger, Stanton;
Edwin Hoare, Monroe; H. Halderson
and Senator C. A. Randall, Newman

A Substitute for Spinach.
The tender leaves of young beet
tops or turnips may be used Instead
of spinach and make a pleasant
change for the lover of greens.
Thoroughly wash leaves to remove
grit and boil until tender. Drain, press
out the water and dress with butter,
salt and pepper, stirring In a saucepan
until thoroughly heated.
The flavor Is much Improved If" a
little vinegar and oil are added on the
table. This is better than serving it
with the greens as many persons pre
fer the butter dressing.
