FOR ANOTHER TERM
To the voters of Deaf Smith
Coonty, big, Uttle, old and
yonng, for whom I feel that I am
working:
In announcing for re-election
for sheriff and tax collector I am
not going to say what I have
done, what I can do nor what I
will do, but will continue to try
to do the right thing. 1 leave it
to you, have I covered the
ground. I do not think that 1
am asking any more than has
been asked of this office, and giv-
en. If you think that I am en-
titled to the job I would greatly
appreciate the support of each
and every one in the coming July
primaries.
Respectfully,
C. 8. PURCELL,
Sheriff and Tax Collector.
Howdy, 16201
Same to you!
Next year, of course, you will
buy 'em early.
O
Ah the Deaf Smith county his-
torian probably will say: "Oil
was first discovered in psying
quantities in 1920."
O
We are able to announce, on
the very best of scientific opinion,
that the world was not destroyed
by last month's conduction of the
planets.
O
Every day spent in school is
figures show. There are a few
young fellows in Hereford who
can avoid intellectual bankrupt-
cy by taking heed.
O
President Wilson is almost
well, the news dispatches say;
while the condition of the repub-
lican politicians is characterized
by a rising temperature.
Q
The world's unhappiest spot
seems to have been located at Sal-
lisaw, Oklahoma, where the cur-
rent court docket contains 225
divorce cases.
O
An exchange blames the demo-
crats for having led the nation in-
to a ''financial abyss," but we
cannot get rid of the thought that
the Kaiser had something to do
with creating present conditions-
O
Oklahoma democrats have
started a boom for Senator Owen
for President. As old Tom Reed
said, "they could go further and
fare worse, and they probably
will."
O
The Brand starts the new year
by giving its subscribers a paper
on the very first day of 1920.
Also, this being leap year, with
an extra day in the calender, we
prepare to publish 53 issues this
year, instead of the usual 52 is-
sues.
RERGER, THE SOCIALIST
Berger, of Wisconsin, again is
appearing in the public prints.
A year ago he was convicted of
disloyalty and sentenced to 20
years imprisonment by a Chicago
judge. He is now at liberty on
an appeal bond. The House of
Representatives, to which he was
elected in 1918, refused to allow
him to take his seat and declared
the seat vacant. A special elec-
tion was held, and Berger won
out ovr his republican opponent,
who ran on a fusion ticket.
Now Berger is going over the
country saying, if it were to be
done over again, he would repeat
his disloyal acts with emphasis.
Ti the element that is trying to
destroy the government, he is a
martyr; to good citizens, he is a
nuisance.
The House probably will un-
seat Berger a second time. He
likely will be compelled to serve
a prison sentence.
But what about the congres-
sional district of Milwaukee that
evidently wants him for its repre-
sentative? It cannot be cut away
like a cancerous growth. Many
good and loyal people are among
its population.
The rest of the country should
encourage and help these loyal
citizens to wipe out this blot on
America through a rigid enforce-
; ment of law, through education
and by patriotic example.
The Hereford Brand has just
substituted a model 5 linotype
machine with a model 14, which
is the last word in the way of a
linotype. The Brand is one of
the neatest and most attractive
weekly papers on our list of ex-
| changes ami we read its columns
• every week with interest and
profit Holman and Steckinan
are to be commended and con-
gratulated upon the fine showing
| they are making as newspaper
! financiers and editors.—Panhan-
dle Herald.
jas. j. hughes is
out for reelection
County Judge James A. Hughes
has requested The Brand to make
announcement that he is a candi-
date for re-election to the office
he now holds, subject to the ac-
tion of the Democratic primary
to be held next July.
Judge Hughes states that he
has been approached by local at-
orneys and by residents of vari-
ous school communities over the
county, who complimented him
on the careful way in which he
has handled the detailed business
of the county and of the county
schools, and have asked him to
stand for re-election. Therefore,
after he has decided to do so.
- Judge Hughes has held the of-
fice for three terms, and so far,
as The Brand has been informed,
has made an acceptable and ef-
ficient public officer. He has made
a close and detailed study of rur-
school conditions, and is an ar-
dent advocate of improved public
roads.
The Brand commends the can-
didacy of Judge Hughes to the
consideration of the voters of the
county.
cliff estes wants
to be county "Clerk
Cliff Estes has this week asked
The Brand to announce him as a
candidate for the office of County
and District Clerk of Deaf Smith
county, subject to the action of
the Democratic primaries in July.
The record Mr. Estes has made
as boy, man, attorney and soldier
is open and known to all the peo-
ple of this community, and The
Brand will no attempt to go into
the details of that record, but
leaves his candidacy to the care-
ful consideration of the voters.

e. h. (ezra) norton
out for clerk
The Brand is authorized to an-
nounce E. H. (Ezra) Norton as a
candidate for County and Dis-
trict Clerk of Deaf Smith County,
subject to the action of the Dem-
ocratic primaries next July.
Mr. Norton has been a resident
in this community for twenty-one
years, during practically all of
which time he has been in the
stock business. He is arranging
to dispose of his holdings with
the exception of a small number
of registered cattle, and asks us
to say to the voters that if they
I see fit to entrust him with this
Imporant office he will give his
I entire time and attention to per-
' forming its duties to the very
| best of his abilities.
Mr. Norton has as wide ac-
quaintance. perhaps, as any other
man in this county., and his
friends earnestly ask the voters
to give his candidacy close con-
sideration.
Berger referred to the new or-
ganization of service men as
"The American Legion of Cats-
paws," Probably got the idea
from the badly scratched condi-
tion of his friend, he Kaiser.

HIGH COST Or LEISURE
The high cost of living is not
the only problem before America,
according to Vice-President Mar-
shall. The high cost of leisure
is also a menace he says. "One
of the old ideas of the republic
was that the limit of striving for
success was the limit of capacity
and endurance" declared the Vice
President recently. "The real
evil which we are confronting to-
day is the high cost of leisure. I
speak in a censorious way because
I am myself the laziest of the lazy.
"I only beg the thoughtful con-
sideration of younger men who
have the good of the republic at
heart, seriously to consider the
problem as to whether the only
way in which to meet the increas-
ing difficulties of American life
is not by additional striving to
produce more, to earn more, to
[economize and to save more."
j Each American citizen has it
well within his power to follow
i the vice president's advice, no
matter what his condition. No
j matter what he is able to earn,
whether small sum or great, the
securities of the government,
Thrift Samps, War Savings
Stamps, Treasury Saving Certifi-
i cates, Certificates of Indetness
j and Liberty Bonds give opportun-
; ity to save at least a part of his
I reward of labor.
O
i That the lack of co-ordination
| complained about in war times
still exists is proved by the fact
> that the wholesale deporting of
| the red agitators was not begun
until after the mine sweepers had
completed this work.
O
Wood Alcohol concoctions, sold
| for whiskey, killed fifty in New
| England Christmas week. Two
j hundred or more have died from
j whiskey poisoning in the last six
months, throughout the country.
i These are facts that constitute a
final and conclusive water*agon'
argument.
