When the common soldiery came

and demanded toll. This was met
by jeers from the soldiers, where

CLERK AFTER SUPPLIES
County Clerk Shortridge Is
Now in Indianapolis
After Ballots.

Clerk E. L. Shortridge of Lake Coun-
ty and forty-five other county clerks
from over the state arrived in Indian
apolis yesterday and went to the state
house for their election ballots The
remainder of the ninety two clerks
who will take charge of the election
material will arrive today and tomor-
row.
This is the worst job 1 ever tackled"
said Harry Slough, clerk in the office
OF the state printing board. who is
directly responsible for the ballots
while they are in the basement of the
state house. Il haven't had a good
nights sleep since these supplies be-
gan coming down here a week ago. I'll
be glad when it's all over"
The basement of the state house is
guarded night and day while the bal
lots are stored there for fear that one
of them accidentally or otherwise find
its way out of the building The names
of the presidential electors for each
of the seven parties, together with the
full state ticket, are printed on the
ballots. This, Mr. Slough says, is the
largest ballot that has ever been print
ed.
keen competition among the repre-
sentatives of the express companies
has ben started. The Adams, the Amer
lean and the United States Express
companies have representatives at the
state house, and as each county clerk
appears for his package of ballots
he is quickly Solicited for the bust
ness of shipping them to their destina-
ton. Are you a county clerk?" is
the greeting extended to every one
who has business in the basement of
the capitol, whether he be a county or
state official, or whether he may be
just an ordinary citizen.
The ballots for each of the counties
are wrapped in a package and sealed
after they have been counted and the
number of papers in the package veri-
! fed. Each clerk is armed with creden-
tials to the effect that he is the proper
| person to receive the package, and
| his identification is made complete be-
| fore the ballots are delivered to him

THURSDAY. DEC. II, 1908.

The fact that Marshall County has
been able to produce wheat. oats.
barley and clover seed that have won
prizes in competitive contests. oDen
to the world. speaks volumes for the
fertility and possibilities of our soil.
A country that can grow grain of
such excellent quality. is bound to
become a rich country. A soil of
such marvellous fertility. intelligent
lv and scientifically titled bv pro-
gressive farmers. is bound to give re-
suits. That we have been able to
grow clover seed that took the first
prize in competition with the world.
is a surprise even to most farmers
of the Red River valley. A few
years ago it was thought impossible
to grow clover here at all. Now the
March Farm COMPANY has won the
first prize on clover seed in a world
contest. The fact that clover can be
grown here successfully will give
added value to our lands. conserve
their fertility. and make farming.
especially diversified farming.
safer and more profitable business.
Land in the valley is bound to be in
great demand and land prices are
bound to increase. Lucky the man
who posses a chunk of this soil.
