An Index representative enjoyed the
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs, George l..
Graves last Friday. Mr.. Graves is the
owner of the celebrated Crownpolnt
Short Horn ranch located on the line
between Elwood and Moore townships,
north and west of Kiowa. We have
never seen better equipped farm and
a nicer home than this one. Mr.. Graves
has over $1,000 invested in improve
ments alone to say nothing of his vast
domain CT land, his thoroughbred cat
tie and hogs and horses and mules. He
has just weaned his calves. We doubt
if any man in Kansas can show finer
lot. Everyone of them are beauties and
many of them are registered. The
Crownpoint ranch is great advertise
ment for Barber county and it Is a
great recommendation for Mr.. and
Mrs. Graves whose industry has made
it permanent institution among US.

HOW TO VOTE.

An erroneous impression has gotten
out concerning the new ballot law. Ii
has been stated that no mixed ticket
can be voted. This is mistake. The
difference In the new law ia that a cir
Gle is provided at the top of each party
ticket and if you mark an X in that cir
Gle you must vote the entire ticket. II
you desire to vote a mixed ticket, you
must not mark an y in the circle, but
place the K i'll the square at the ri CHIT OF
the name of the candidate for whom yu,
wish to vote. The new law also pro
vides for an emblem at the head of each
party ticket. The republican emblem is
an eagle, the pOpulist emblem is q coun.
try home, and the democratic emblem
Tor this county is shOrthorn cow
Since the nominations for county print
or consist of a republican aud an indie.
pendent candidate, there will be only
one emblem on the county ballot
There will be no emblem and no circle
at the head of the Independent ticket
and hence you must vote IN the square
at the right OF the Candidates name il
you want your vote counted. There
will be separate county and township
ballots.
The Important thing to remember is
that il you place your X In the
circle. you are voting the straight ticket
under that heading. Ii you want tc
vote for candidates on different Tickets
you must mark X in the squares at the
right of each Candidates name. Re
member also that other marks WILL IN
validate the entire ballot. Read the in
stIuctlons carefully at the top of the
balloL before You vote.
This year 1t will be impossible to vote
mixed county ticket. Only two names
will appear on the ballot. One will ap.
pear on the republican ticket and the
other will appear on the Independent
ticket. Hence the voter will either have
to vote the republican county ticket or
the Independent ticket.

the knack OF looking ahead and provid-

to work in, which explains his success.
He will have good crop of honey this

will be many swarms next spring. AS a
