The statement is so clear that even a child would have no difficulty in picking out the following i salient features: 1. The republicans in their last year transferred from special funds to ■ the general fund for current expenses $1,658,158.04. while the democrats, in their first year transferred $1,268,056.76, making a- gain for the democrats of $389,651.28. 2. The general deficit for the last year of the republicans was $251.171.14, while the general deficit for the , democrats’ first year was only $45.-1' 41'5.63, making the startling gain for the democrats of $205,675.51. 3. On September 30, 1910, the close of their fiscal year, the republicans ( showed a treasury balance of $92,- 1 768.35, but to obtain this balance, $789,660.61 was transferred from the sinking fund to the general fund. One 1 1 year later the democrats showed a I' treasury balance of $52,191.55, with only $491,883.61 diverted to the gen eral fund. 1 4. The disbursements lor the demo- . 1 cratic year were $33,680.6“ less than *for the republican year. , 5. The regular and specific appropriations for the legislature of 1909, available 1910 and 1911, totaled SB,955.662.35, as compared with a total of $7,421,223.50 by the legislature of 1911, available 1912 and 1913, a decrease of $1,534,438 xs Well, tbe beet campaign is over.

If there is a farmer in this eommun- ; ity who hasn't signed a beet contract 1 he should do so some time this week by calling at the office or seeing one of the workers.
