severing his connection last July on
account of the inroads of disease.
However, he was daily caller and
spoke of the Index and its publishers

intensely loyal to his employers and
scrupulously honest. He scorned to
mean things and was especially kind
to little children and the old and in

INCREASE CORN YIELD

b. the blowing Of the ground
from twelve to twenty inches deep
the yield of corn would be increased
from five to rs bushels to the acre,

NEED MORE voTING PLACES.
Equal Suffrage WIN Double thq
Vote and Work. s

Another, OF the earliest problems
TO be solved az a result Of the adj
dition Of q half million votes to
Kansas, Is that Of counting the bali
lots. Abilene for instance, has four
voting precincts and at the recent
election the underpaid hard-workr
ing election officials working IKE
TrOjans a night and part Of two days
before they discovered wac was
elected. Add to the vote cast last
election nearly an equal number Of
votes and the work Of election of
ficiaIs Will sbe increased 100 fold
and the, time when results are
known will bedelayed another 40
hours. @a
z One Of the solutions TO this
problem is proposal to increase
the number Of voting precincts. TO
prevent delays It would be necessary
to double the number Of voting pre-
cincts. This would double the cost
OF elections. but doubling the vote
will do that anyhow, a. twice the
number Of ballots must be provided
and the officials must work twice
as long. And, when the duly con
stituted officials are busy arrang-
ing for the casting and counting OF
twice the number Of ballots. i Is
probable that they will change the
atmosphere OF the polling place.
Livery barns, blacksmith shops and
other quaint places where the male
voter has been won't to resort With
out qualm to exercise his right Of
suffrage. may not meet with the
approval Of the fair sex. And, an
ticipating this changed quality OF
the electorate. the men who provide
the polling places will probably se-
lect more cheerful and pleasant
places in which the women voters
will be invited to gather.
The more one contemplates It, the
more interesting becomes the some

the men,-of Kansas wrote into the
constitution November 5.
