They Were Not Sure.

Two women were on their way to
vote in Bellefontaine, Tuesday. They
were met by third woman, who ask
ed "Are you Republican," Yes, We
are,r was the reply. Then you will
vote for the two Republican members
of the school board, said No. 3. Not
a bit of 1t, we will vote for DR.. Pratt
and Mr.. w. "Why not for the other
Republican" was then asked. BE
cause we have been told If he is cleo
ted he will put in a new teacher,
where none is needed and that he will
rna up the taxes and taxes are too
high now" 1t took much argument
to convince the good women that
there could be no motive on the part
of Mr.. w. to do any such thing, there
would be no money in it for him,
'twould increase his taxes, etc, etc,
and after a prolonged discussion,
one of the two said. 81 just don't know
what to believe, 1 am going home,
and will not vote at ALL" And go
they did. Then we wondered how
many votes would have been lost, if
no men voted, who did not fully un-
derstand the questions at issue.

Morning Shopping.

We would avise early shopping, es-
pecially in carpets and curtains, for
the next 80 days. In the afternoons
this department is crowded. While
we have good space to show goods,
and experienced help to show them,
still it is more satisfactory for you
to do your trading If possible early
in the day. You will not be rushed
as much, ond can possibly make your
selections little more satisfactori-
". The stock of carpets is possibly
larger today than we have ever
shown; in fact we sometimes think IL
is too large, yet from the quantity of
goods we are turning out every day.
the stock will soon be reduced. Come
in, If possible, and make your selec-
tions early.

joyable. The guests we're furnished
with booklet and pencil; the first
page of each book was numbered /, 2,

his or her name in the book, chose
their partners for each number.

numbers, and each person drew a
picture of the one whose name was
on the book. Then, at the close,
each one had five pictures of himself
drawn by five different parties. Miss

nest filled with Easter chicks, the
prize for best work. Her pictures
were hkenesses. which could be said
of very few. Then the guests chewed

ed a man, with a toothpick, using
nothing else. Mr.. Edward Cowman
was the real artist of the occasion,

bouquet thrown to him by the people,
irrespective OF party. He received
more Republican than Democratic
votes. Mr.. Fogarty's vote 534 was
nearest the true Democratic vote.
Mr.. Haviland's vote was 1912, and he
lost more than fifty Democratic
votes, and majority must therefore
have been Republican votes.

Mr.. Haviland owed his reelection,
first to his excellent administration
of the duties of his office. Many Re
publicans said, before the Republi-
can nominations were made, that
they intended to vote for Haviland,
regardless of who the Republican
nominee might be. Viewed from this
standpoint it was a high compli.
ment to Mr.. Haviland, and no refiec-
tion on his opponent, who entered
the race with the odds against him
