How to Vote for representatives.
It may be that you wish to vote for
representatives on two tickets. Be
careful to indicate in such case each
man that you vote for. The reason is
that YOU must not vote for more than
two representatives on the ticket
For example: You may be a prohi-
bition voter and want to vote for the
two republican candidates for repre-
sentative. In that case you place an

How to Vote for Justices of the Peace

Zach party names II candidates for
justices or has that privilege. so that it
is necessary to vote for II in order to
have any of them count The only
trouble as before. will come by an
attempt to split the ticket If you are
a republican and desire to vote for
Franklin Fl. Brown for Justice. place
the X in the republican circle and the
Y before Franklin Fl. Browns name.
You must place an X before Is Justices
on the republican ticket. You can split
your vote for justices SO as to take in
all four tickets, but in doing so II
names must be checked. The reason for
this is that if a republican should place
an X before a democrats name the
counters have no way of telling what
other 16 justices he wishes to vote for.

READING ROOMS
COIN COLLECTION
Cards to be Distributed in
Seventh Ward For West
End Institution

West End Reading Room, at Fourteenth
and Scott streets. is twenty-one years old
this year, and TO observe that event a
coin-card collection is to be made on Lin
coins birthday anniversary February r.
for the benefit OF the Reading Room.
Much good work has been done by the
West End Reading Room in its twenty
one years of activity. It was the first in
stitution 70 establish free kindergarten,
and the first TO provide a free playground
for the children both of which are still
maintained there. The reading room is
maintained by subscriptions OF individuals
but now It is desired TO install bowling
alley and a manual training department
for the boys who patronize the reading
room. Hence the coin collection card
scheme has. been selected.
The Reading Room is located in the
Seventh ward, and it has been decided to
confine the coin-card collection to that
ward. Boys Of the West End Reading
Room win distribute coin cards through
out the Seventh ward about the middle Of
next week. Every one of the 5000 houses
in the ward will be visited
It was thought appropriate to have the
coins collected on Lincoln's Birthday be-
cause Of Lincoln's rise from the station OF
a poor boy to the Presidents chair. on
Lincoln's birthday anniversary the boys
OF the West End Reading room will col
lect the cards containing contributions 10
the reading room. They boys will wear
appropriate badges, but they will have
no automobiles to take them about as on
Red Cross day. nor will any prizes be Of
fered. The Reading Room for which they
are working is their greatest prize. BY this
method it is hoped to get enough money
to establish the manual training depart
ment and install the bowling alleys at
the Reading Room.

Regardless of what the doubtful con-

POVERTY KEEPS
SOME FROM SCHOOL
Police Also Find Children Out
of School Because Parents
Must be Supported

As a result OF the visit by the police
men TO the homes of persons whose
children are not attending school, il is
thought that there are few children
out of the list of 267, submitted by
Superintendent ofa Schools Twitmyer
who are remaining away from school
In violation of the compulsory edu-
cation law. The remainder, il was
found. had excuses for remaining at
home.
The law provides that children of
school age up to fourteen years, must
attend school. In some instances, the
policemen found supposed children
whose names appeared on their list,
were young men and women, one being
found who was eighteen years Of age,
and another who was seventeen years
of age.
One woman was asked why her son
did not attend school, and she startled
the officer by replying that he was
peak-minded and had a habit of TAX
ing off all his clothes wherever he hap
pened to be.
Another woman said she would be
only too glad If her son would attend
school She said the teachers had re-

did not care about having him come
back
IL is true that in q majority Of the
cases poverty keeps the children from
school and there arc other causes, even
more pitiable. The patrolmcn were
deeply touched BY the troubles which
beset some Of the families they visited.
IN some houses they found widows
away at work and the small children
of the household being cared for by
son or daughter who should be in
school. In other cases the children
sought by the police were found to DO
at work supporting mothers, and all
along the line such misfortunes were
encountered. Some of the children
seen by the officers were feeble-minded.
half blind or suffering with some other
physical defects.
It was also found that some of the
whose names appeared on the
list had been taken from the public
schools by their parents and are now
attending parochial schools.
Chief of Police George Black said he
had not yet received a report of the
exact number of the children out Of
school and who should be attending
He thought. however. from what i'm
formation he had gained, that the
number would be found very low.
