WHERE TO VOTE.

Next Wednesday voters Will cast their
ballots in state election the second
time under the registration law. 1t is
important tor them to remember that
if the voting precinct of their district
is in an incorporated town they must
vote there; they cannot vote at the
court house. In districts where
the precinct is not in an incorporated
town they can vote at the court house
by taking an oath that they have not
voted elsewhere.
This is the Interpretation of the law
given by Acknowledgement Terrell,
who says every person whose name
is upon the list of registered voters
may vote at the election precinct Of
the militia district or city ward in
which he resides; also person
may vote at the county site precinct if
no election precinct is established or
opened in the militia district or city
ward in which he lives, and also
person may vote al Une county SlGe II
he resides in militia district in which
the election precinct for the same is sit
uated outside of an incorporated town;
in the latter instance the managers are
required to administer an oath to the
effect that the person has not voted
elsewhere in that election"
Under this ruling of the attorney
general the registered voters of Daw-
son, Bronwood and Parrott districts
ISust vote at their own precincts,
while those of the Twelfth, Eleventh,
Third and New Eleventh districts can
vote at the court house by taking an
oath that they have not voted at their
nome precincts.

Charged So for ssSass."

A story is told Of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort WIS Lee
nox, that on her first season there she
employed a prospecting vlllager, who
had a comfortable turnout, to drive her
about, says the Boston Record. He,
feeling it to be his duty to make the
drive as entertaining as possible, began
to call her attention TO the beauty of
the scenery-which she wished to enjoy
undisturbed and to tell her who lived
in certain houses as they passed along,
until finally Mrs. Kemble, being unable
10 stand it any longer, said, in the high
tragedy manner somewhat peculiar to
her: 81 have engaged you to drive for
me, sir, and not to talk"
The driver ceased talking, pursed Up
his lips, and in all their subsequent
drives his only remarks were such as he
found necessary to address to the horses.
! At the end of the season he handed in
his bill for the summers services. Run
ming her eye down the awkward columns
she paused at an item that she didn't
understand "What is this, sir? l can
not comprehend it," With equal gravity
he replied: "Sass, S.. l don't often
take it, but when l do charge" She
paid the bill without comment, and con-
tinued to employ the same driver during
many summers she spent there.

jilt a stable, sober business man for a
fellow that has joined the army for the
sake of blue uniform and $13 month
salary deserves no better fate in life
than to remain at home and dry up

LARGEST IN EXISTENCE
Kimball's the Greatest Piano Fac
tory in the World.
CHRONICLE OF FACTS

It is always a pleasant duty for an
editor to chronicle facts. Hence IT Is a
pleasure at his time to state in these
columns that we have in the city Of Chi
cago the largest producing piano and
organ factories in the world. The W. ".
Kimball Co. are not only the largest
producers by one-half, but their pres
ent factories are one-haIf time larger
thar those Of any similar establish
ment.
This is not all. h great corporation
will shortly work on an add
tional building, SOx4O0 feet in dimensions.
and five stories in height. This, with
the present mammoth factories, Will
give the institution Is acres Of hoor
space.
The capacity of the present works Is
50 organs and 40 pianos per day. Inc
company is at present turning out. IN
midsummer, IS pianos and A. organs per
day. The necessity for immediate ex-
tension of the present works for the
fall trade is apparent. When the pro-
posed addition Is finished these mann
moth factories will have a total capa-
city of SIS pianos and 50 organs a day.
Seeing is believing. and when a rep
resentative of the Indicator, IN company
with an official OF the Kimbsll corpora
ton. visited these enormous factories
last week and tramped for a whole half
day. without cessation, over the differ
ent floors of this institution, he came TO
the conclusion that the half had not
been told about the great Kimban fac
tories.
There the Indicator man saw. In MID
summer at that, 1926 employees at Work
on full time. There he also saw ma
chinery that saves the b of as many
more as are now employed. men unload
ing lumber and coal from vessels at the
extensive shipping docks, and railroad
freight cars passing through the lower
courts OF the big building and stopping
only long enough TO take on the 81
pianos and 40 organs, the days output,
for shipment TO all parts of the civilized
world. There he saw many things that
go to make up the whole of the great
est institution OF the kind on earth. Not
only skilled labor and intricate ma
chinery, but everything that makes a
model piano and organ factory, backed
by unuuestioned financial standing
sufficient to make and market a thou
