According to the best in formation there have been 100,000 persons killed in the United States in ten years. In the city of Chicago in 1924 there were 256 persons tried for the crime of murder and only six of them paid the death penalty, others received light punishments and seventy-five per cent were turned loose. In New York, out of 200 murder cases, only 81 were convicted of first degree murder. The average ages of the New York murderers ranged from 17 to 21 years. This indicates the need of better home organization for the protection of boys. It is not so strange that the crime of killing receives less punishment than any other crime. First, to con vict for any crime the State must prove the committal of the that is true in stealing fighting, killing. In murder cases there ore many de fenses according to the statutory law. The murderer may be cleared of guilt one a plea of-self defense, insanity or perhaps the unwritten law and half a dozen other excuses. All of which may stimulate and promote the good of society. Those questions are to be solved by law makers and courts. But when we consider that there is an annual expenditure of more than - '• . An Appreciation and Notice of Candidacy To see every voter who so kindly favored me with his oi" her vote in the primary on June sth is next to impossible, so by this method and with all sin ,, cerity, I wish to express my appreciation to those.—_ _ who east their vote for me. My obligation to them is to be measured in no small way, and win or not, in or out of office, 1 will always feel it my duty to attempt to repay the kindnesses, and to do so with the greatest of pleasures. fTT The second primary takes place on July 3rd and it is my hope that every voter in Martin county will visit the polls that day and cast his or her vote. I assure you that every vote accorded me will be received gratefully and the confidence will be long remembered by me. fTT As to service, I pledge my every effort, and if Vl| nominated and elected by the good people of this County I vouch that it will be a real pleasure for me to be able to carry out the duties of the office of sheriff. fTT Humbly asking every vote possible in the primary on July 3rd, I beg to remain, . • L\>; . .

COURT'S EXTMPLE LIMITED Court week comes and brings a large number of visitors to the coun ty's seat. Some are witnesses, some jurors, several defendants and a few paintiffs. While we are not authori ties on human nature, we do think we could point out the defendants, for their looks were not the brightest in the world. Surely, their troubles must be great and how little do We think of their troubles and what they mean in the wuy of hampering happiness. It would seem that the one great purpose of the Courts, that of setting an example, is confined to the indi vidual rather than to society as a whole. What little does it count to send up a man for 20 years when an other person follows in his footsteps THE WORLD COURT The world court resembles a bunch of children hanging around u cake. The one that can't get the biggest piece quits playing and goes to pout ing. / In the beginning our own country would not enter, because it feared it could not be the dictator or the over lord of the wKole court. Now comes Brazil with a kick* be cause the terms of the court will not permit her to d* just as she pleases, regardless of the rights of others. What we need is less selfishness in dividually and nationally. WHEN JESUS IS THfc HEAD 1 By James D. Taylor , Returning from his vacation my friend told me of the interesting pleasure to meet certain people well the pleasure of meeting. It was a plasure to meet certain people well known and whose names appear al most daily in the told of the big cities with their wonder ful buildings and parks. He enjoyed vißiting the theaters and museums and seeing beautiful boulevards. But more than all these he enjoyed most of all u quiet evening spent with an old man who walked daily with his God. This old gentleman lived not in the big city with its noise and rush, but far from all this in a little modest home in the country, whtue the sunset is a beau ti'ul thing. To this good old man, God could more clearly be seen in the flowers unti the birds and the trees. In the evniiV niy friend sat at the feet of this man and heard him tell of his friendship with his Master; how his Tlod had led him through the years und now as he was nearing the end of his journey he was ready and anxious to meet Lottf face to face. And then an hour spent in reverence and gratitude. It'f a wonderful thing to meet with Goil i-i the evening in reverence and thanksgiving. Any home that does it is the greatest of all institutions. Young men and women starting out to take their places in the affairs of the world are better prepared for their part vhen they have been brought up in a Home where Jesus is the head. 666 ia a prescription for MALARIA.
