The contest between me friends of President Taft and Col. Roosevelt should be such that when the Republican candidate is nominated all men of the party can rally around him in united support without any bitterness or faction. The candidates will need them all.
It is certainly very embarrassing to a sheriff when a prisoner has escaped from jail without even breaking a lock or bolt. The carelessness of an officer in such cases is inexcusable, and the sheriff of Hancock county should be ashamed of the fact that keys to the jail —were so carelessly kept that some one could get them and release one of his prisoners. Instead of being careless about his keys the sheriff should have been unusually careful and cautious when he had a a. prisoner with the reputation of

term, even if there has been an intervening term.
They
think the old
cjustom of two terms was a wise one, and should be retained. They feel also that their position is the stronger at this time on the face of the fact that President Taft has given a good administration.
Conceding that Roosevelt and Taft have both made good presidents, it seems to us but fair that President Taft should be given a chance at a second term rather than Col. Roosevelt a third term.
Obituary.
Freeman Mearl, son of Myrtle Fletcher, was born October 3, 1910, and on last Saturday morning, February 17, 1912, his sweet little spirit was kissed away by the smile of our Heavenly Father. He was aged one year, four months and fourteen days.
For days the death angel's wing hovered over the little home and it was prayed and hoped by the young devoted mother, whose love knew no bounds, that he would not enter to claim a flower so sweet, so pure. Little Freeman came, he tarried ?o short a time, then left us in the shadow, stayed just long enough to teach us something of the heavenly beauty, but while his stay with us was short, it was long enough to weave, with his sweet smiles, a love that never can cease in the broken heart of his mother, the affections of his grandmother and uncles.
How sad will be the home now to those, with the little footsteps silenced, the sweet little voice forever hushed, but who could forbid his going, when the Master said: "I will gather the lambs to my bosom, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven" and earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Oh, angels, kiss our Freeman,.dear Fold and hold him in your arms so fair, Till I meet him when life's sorrows are o'er,
Close, beside the golden shore. d&w
Gave Contract to Farmer. The commissioners of Montgomery county, Kansas, had a cement bridge contract to let at a recent meeting. When the bids were opened, the lowest was more than $3,000, the amount agreed upon by the commissioners as the limit. All bids were rejected and William Bitts, a local farmer, was told to go ahead, build the bridge and put in his bill. He hired a plant, and employed his neighbors and their hired men to do the work and built the bridge for $665.65.

sections, a Sophomore and a Junior. The officers of the club are president and secretary of the Sophomore section. These are Luther Heim and Marguerite Gorman respectively, and of the Junior, Ermil Haddock and Hester Yelton.
The meetings of the club are held once a month and the programs, which consist of stories retold by the club members, readings and songs are given entirely in German. The foreign correspondence is perhaps the most interesting of all the various lines of work done by the German students.
Pupils who have had a year's work are able to carry on foreign correspondence successfully. The
letters are written half in English
and half in German. The first one is in the pupil's native language, in which he opens correspondence.
They usually give descriptions of themselves and the town in which they live. Then what is of interest in the family and social life regarding customs, for instance any entertainments or social gatherings. One living in Berlin describes the many buildings, streets and gardens, and other features of interest, such as the Brandenburg Gate. In one letter this correspondent decribes the bridal procession of Prince August William to the Castle of Belleone in the middle of the Thiergarteu.
The celebration of Christmas is a favorite topic and the German boys and girls are interested in knowing how we celebrate our holidays
Many postcards are received, one of the most interesting giving a fac simile of German and Austrian coins, with their value in United States money. A few extracts from the letters will give an idea of the character of the correspondence:
One writes: "In Berlin is the royal castle, the winter residence of the emperor and empress—the crown prince's palace, the armory containing cannon and flags from different battles and the national gallery.
On acount of the attractive location, Pottsdam contains many castles, occupied as summer residences by the nobility. Among them is Sans Louci, which was occupied by Frederick the Great. It is surrounded by a large park, well cared for, having beautiful fountains and rare varieties of roses.'
Another corespondent writes as follows concerning an incident in the history of the town of Friesack:

One boy wrote as follows about a trip he had taken: "In Interlaken it was then 68 degrees in the shade and upon a glacier near by, we sawseveral people tobogganing as we went past. That is an interesting contrast, isn't it? Besides this fine short trip, we made several others.
In opening a correspondence one says: "Of course I have already in geography,
but thinking about the United States, I always imagine large towns with long, straight streets and houses of more than twenty stories, that is to say, there were towns like New York and Chicago, for, instance, I am very curious to hear something about Greenfield.
Here in Yienna, one learns as many languages as possible, for many young men after having finished school, go to foreign Universities or Technical schools, in Paris or London for instance.

Commencing with today, we are starting a series of display of 1912 "Buick" Automobiles at the Leader Garage, where we have made arrangements with E. Y. Toms for a display space, and also to take care of our customers for one year, or the term of guarantee of all "Buick" cars. For one week will be found this beautiful $1,265 fully equipped "Buick" Touring Car, and after that will come a Model 36 Roadster, which will be an exact duplicate of the car contracted by Chauncey Duncan of this city. Mr. Toms will take the same care of you for us as though we lived here. Buy a "Buick" and own a real automobile.
GOOD motor car is not built in a day, or a season, although it is possible to design and build an acceptable automobile—so far as appearances go—in a very short period, but it takes time, money, and the best engineering talent to build a good automobile.
The body, paint, trimming and other finishing details must be of good quality and pleasing appearance—but they are minor details— it is the unseen parts—the interior mechanism in the car—that count.
In the early stages of the automobile industry, the BUICK designed and adopted the famous overhead-valve BUICK motor and have used this type of motor continuously ever since during this time they have built and sold over 80,000 Buick automobiles, equipped with the Buick overhead-valve motor,every one of which is still running and giving perfect satisfaction. The first overhead-valve Buick motor ever built was the marvel of the engineering world and was de clared by the foremost engineers of that time to be as near perfect as it was possible to approach, butthey have always said from the time they built their first Buickcar that, "When better automobiles were built Buick would build tliem"and with this as their standard, the process of refining and improvingthis motor has been going on from season to season—they now guarantee every Buick purchaser that the overhead-valve Buick motor used in the 1912 Models 28 and 29 Buick cars will develop more power and speed than any Foreign or American,make of motor of equal size, and with ordinary care will last a lifetime
The Models 28 and 29 Buick cars are equipped with handsome straight-line, commodious bodies of wood construction, with metal fore doors 34 inch demountable tires and rims, giving a road clearance of HV2, inches a positive and perfect combination of double brakes and a lubrication system that is economical and reliable under every possible 'condition.
The Buick car is not an" assembled" automobile. They are built complete in their own plant at Flint, Michigan—the largest automobile factory in the world—where every component part of the car is manufactured under the intimate supervision of their Engineering Corps —and if you want speed, power, style and finish, you will be interested in these cars.
