do it by way of the state primary
pamphlet which is sent to every
voter of the state at the states
expense. The only charge to
the candidate being for advertis-
ing space which amounts to $50
per page. Only few of the
candidates awaited themselves Of
the opportunity to advertise 10

from the advertising amounted
to about 5000. The cost of
getting out the pamphlet, ad-

taxpayers.

IT has been figured out that
the lack of the half cent coin in
our money costs the consumers
of the United States millions of
dollars annually. Competition
is so keen that producers and
iobbers figure their prices down
to the finest point. Retailers too
use the half cent cut in many
instances. But you will notice
that wherever the amount runs
to the half cent the consumer
pays the extra half. This in the
course of the year amounts to
millions of dollars.
