May Revolutionize Printing.

An Australian has patented an in
vention by which. he claims, book and
newspaper printing will be placed on
an entirely new basis. By the use of
a large number of keys provision is
made for producing the more common
syllables and word Examinations by
the touch of key. so that one man
can write from $4,000 to $4,000 letters
in an hour, which is equal to more
than 600 printed lines Is centimeters
(centimeter equal to 0.3937 inch) in
length. According to present methods
not one-tenth of this can be done by
a compositor in an hour.

votes. but votes were bought and we
know the men who bought them.
Interest in Election Intense.

Interest in the election was intense
from the moment the polls opened I'M
til they closed. There was great ac-
tivity on both sides. Women were es-
pecially active for the "drys." In
some instances they drove voters to
the polls in carriages and at every
polling place women served free
lunch. During the afternoon women
drove about the city in their family
vehicles visiting the polls and show
ing great interest in the progress Of
events.
One woman, a Mrs. Miller. whose
son sold his farm year or two ago
and drank up the proceeds. was partic-
ularly active in helping get out the
dry" vote in the downtown precincts.
The church women held prayer
meetings in their homes at intervals
during the day. Hourly prayer meet
ings were held at the First M. E..
church, where the bell was rung. All
the church bells were pealing at 5
o'clock in the morning, the signal for
the temperance workers to be out.
At every polling place two men had
posted large Autographs of mother
and child which bore the heading:
Help me to keep him pure" These
banners also adorned houses in all
parts of the city. The ministers were
particularly active in getting the
dry" voters to the polls. The "drys''
used a large number of automobiles,
especially in the rural districts. We
hicles were used principally by the
| "drys" in Vincennes.
| The vets used about sixty auto
mobiles in Vincennes and many others
in the townships. The efforts of the
"drys" in particular were directed to
ward the country vote. The ''wets"
directed their work in the main to-
ward rolling up as large majority
| as possible in Vincennes.
