CHICAGO, April 27.—Agdvices to the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Company show that crop conditions in
Nebraska are favorable. Precipitation
has been slightly below normal, but the
ground is inh good condition and spring
ploewing is well advanced.

John Ingliis sent the following from
Wellington, Kans.: “Chickasha to An
darka and north to Geary, conditions are
the same as previously reportéed. The
average is better north from Geary than
to the State line. There is ample moist.
ure for the present, but no surface wa
ter. Streams are low. Farm reserves
are large both of corn and wheat. 1t
will require frequent showers for wheat
to maintain its present condition.”

. A report issued by the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe Railway Company
covering the past week says:. ‘“Tem
peratures in Kansas, Oklahoma and (ol
orado were slightly below normal.. Pre
cipitation was from 1 to 1% inches. Con
ditions were favorable for growing
wheat. No damage from fly was re
ported. In Oklahoma corn is 75 per cent
g}nnted.. In the territory of Amarillo,
exas, the condition of wheat is 75 per
cent, compared with a vear :go. *This
is offset somewhat by increased acreaga
and higher test.”

_George M. LeCount, in a letter to
Finley Barrell Company, says that this
{1: the latest sprl&g he has ever seen in
South Dakoia. any rfarmers have not

‘cent of the plowing has been done, and
little of the land that has been plowed
18 seeded. In an avem]ge spring wheat
‘and oats generally should be up by this.
He says that much wheat will be
'Stubbed. Many farmers are beginning
to realize that they can not get all their
land seeded in tie. ‘The acreéage will

Is 26 Years Not Long Enough for One
/ . .
Man to Hold a Lucrative County Office?
it
‘s s A CARD F ROM
e R
¥ & Henry M.Wood
a As is generally known, I have offered for
N T e s 1 the office of Tax Receiver of Fulton County,
o s o and’have associated with me Paul S. Pause
m Y . | and W. Tom Winn.
| e We have endeavored to conduct this cam
. E | Dpaign on a high plane, free from any bitter
e # | ness or criticism whatsoever.
A e But as the present incumbent has appeared
* ] recently in the daily press and based his claim
B Y= i for re-election on his proficiency, I think it
| A | but proper for me to state that in case lam
‘ | clected you will be equally well served as
s ' in the past. My uniform courtesy and ability
is a guarantee as to the manner in which the office will be conducted.
The present incumbent has held this of{ice for the past 26 years, and,
in fact, Mr. W. H. Abbott, who opposed him two years ago, used the argu
ment that 24 years ought to satisfy Mr. Armistead. Mr. Abbott himself has
held a clerkship in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court for the past
12 or 15 years. The following appeared on the campaign literature of Mr.
Abbott two years ago:
“MR. T. M. ARMISTEAD, PRESENT ENCUMBENT, HAS
HELD OFFICE FOR 24 YEARS - SHOULD HE NOT BE SAT
ISFIED?”
Strange to say, Mr. Abbott is now on the ticket of Mr. Armistead and
begging his friends to again elect Mr. Armistead, thus giving him 30 years
in office. Two years ago he thought 24 years was enough for Mr. Armi
stead, and now he wants to make it 30 years.
During the past several years Mr. Armistead has constantly had two
of his sons in office with him, thereby preventing other worthy young men
from getting jobs which rightfully belong to them. For some reason the
names of Mr. Armistead’s sons have not appeared on his campaign cards.
We most respectfully submit, in all fairness and sincerity, that some one
else should have a chance at these public offices, and that no one man and
his family should sit astride these opportunities for the promotion which
should be equally distributed among the people.
I respectfully ask your support, and promise if electod that you will not
suffer for lack of efficiency and courtesy.
- Yours Very Truly,
HENRY M. WOOD

Why am I-offering for County Commissioner? I’ll tell
youl! It's
(1) For the last ten years I have been boosting for GOOD
ROADS—and, as a County Commissioner, I would be in a
position to do a great deal for the advancement of GOOD
ROADS for Fulton County:
(2) T want the youngsters of Fulton Cofinty to have the
very finest opportunities for a thorough education—and. as
a County Commissioner, I would be able to help promote
better schools and a University High Sehool.
(3) Many streets of Atlanta and suburbs and the four main
highways leading int¢ Atlanta need fixing, and need it ur
gently. As a County Commissioner, I eould and would in
sist that they be FIXED!
(4) While it is true that comvicts have wronged, it is also
wrong to treat them in an inhumane manner. Two wrongs
do not make one right! As a County Commissioner I would
see to it that the convicts are humanely treated, properly
housed and substantially fed! 1 believe that JUSTICE
should be tempered with MERCY !
(5) I'wasborn and reared in Fulton County—and I want to
do everything in my power that’s going to help make this
fine county even better and greater than ever before! You’ll
