Over at the corner the murderer of Ray mond Logan is fingering his nose at Sher iff Hans. On the other corner the man who bur glarized the Moe Barber Shop is doing the same thing. At one bottom comer the robber of Ros stad's store at Comertown is also fingering his nose. At the other comer the little Mouritsen boy lies dead in his own blood, and the hit and-run-driver that killed the little fellow that unfortunate Fourth of July, does the same thing. The murderer of Raymond Logan has not been apprehended tho he is reported to have hidden several days in an old coal mine at Medicine Lake.

The man who burglarized Louis Moe's barber ship has not been found though he and the car he traveled in was seen at Sid ney. Hans said it would cost too much to find him, besides, he said, "The man did it for spite." A burglar broke into Rostad's store at Comertown the other night and stole a lot of merchandise. Sheriff Hans did not show up for two or three days. Said he was somewhere looking for bank robbers who nad sent him word that they were about to pull a job on Ed Powers' bank at Medi cine Lake, and Hans didn't want to miss them. The Comertown burglar has been 'caught.

They are all out plugging to help re-elect Sher iff Madsen. But Sheriff Madsen did do one big job: h e caught the culprits that stole Grace Mc Gowan's black hen, after Grace told him where the hen was and who did it. The paper supporting Madsen made a great splurge over it. That's about all Madsen has ever caught—Grace McGowan's black pullets. That is his record. See how he dances and prances about pointing at the black chicken; which is his record, to which^ he points with great pride. He wants you to vote for him again be cause he caught the black hen—tho he has not caught any one else. Besides the underworld, Hans is also be mg supported by the bankers, the under shot jawed machine collectors, and such. They say he will work all night to attach a poor farmers' grain, and that's what they want Hans is their man and they are all for him. But the farmers are not for Hans and his black chicken record: they are going to vote for Charlie Norton of Medicine Lake, the farmers' candidate for sheriff, and they are going to elect him too, you bet your boots.

In fact there was a landslide to the republican party and to Hoover, carrying the old party followers into office. Two years of the Republican Democratic combination, however, Ä gone up to a point where the farmer cannot pay them, and the price of farm products have gone down to almost nothing.
