been declared constitutional there
is a good deal of interest in the
application of the law in its prac-
one and contains vast amount of
detail so that it will require some
time for the officials to master its
complex requirements. Secretary of
State Douglas has Just completed a
pamphlet which was given to the
state printer yesterday, giving in
structions and full details as to
what is required to proceed with
the primary,
The book viii prove of immense
service and help to county clerks,
as the various forms necessary and
other data will be explicitly set
forth. 1t is expected that this in
formation will be ready for distri-
button within two or three weeks
and will simplify preliminary ar
engagements all over the state. The
law is patterned closely after the
California law, which has aided the
state officials in getting out the
edition.
County Clerk Pohl states that the
registration books for the primary
election will be open on the SECOND

The housekeeper was white as the

to cry. And what she ate of that

the porch to think things over. The
dining room winder was open, and
Jonesy was clearing the table. All Of

earnest:
"Well. aren't you going to speak to
me?"
The answer was in a girls voice,

I went away then, thinking harder
than ever. At dinner Jonesy done the

moralizing forces. 1t is the hardest
thing that we have to handle.

years and see the advance that has
been made it seems wonderful, and
