Gard ner are rejoicing with him this week In the appointment he received at the hands of the Doard of County Com missioners, to fill the unexpired term of Itoscoe Illzley, county attorney, resigned. The Herald Is Indeed pleased to note Ed's appolntmtn. He Is not only a capaMo attorney, having practiced law in Kansas city for some time with one of the leading law firms of that city, but he Is a deserving young man, a pioneer citizen of Deavcr county having lived here slnco a mere lad, and though absent at times, al ways claimed this as his home. All there things are In his favor but DEST OF ALL when our country was In peril Ed, thouph above draft age, left his professional duties, enlisted and served overesas with the A, E. F. That fact alone Is recommenda tion enough for the editor of the Her ald and we are more than glad that the Hoard or County Commissioners exercised their usual good Judgment In this appointment, which we are sure will meet with the hearty ap proval or all.
