booths at the voting places will not be large
enough to mark the ballots in next Tuesday.
Voters should remember that their ballots must
be folded exactly as they were when they re-

be no easy matter for many when the size of
the sheet is considered. Also keep the ballot
free from spots of any kind.
"a gentleman who read in The UNION
last week the item about Tows0n's bad boys
said few years ago he lived in certain vii
lsge in Baltimore county where exactly tn
same condition of affairs prevailed. Finally
the church authorities could stand it no longer
and caused the arrest of some of the gang.
The result was their parents had to pay SUBJ
stantial fines for them, with the costs added)
to keep them from going to jail. That settled
it. No more bad behavior in the churches
after that. Why can't Towson do something
of the same sort?
