Time For Many
To Register.

While it is too late to pay your poll
taxes to vote in the primaries, 1t is not
too late for a number OF people who
have not already done so TO register.
OF course the majority Of voters
have registered. but those persons who
have moved here since January 1, 1911,
from other states. even IL you have not
paid your poll taxes provided of course
you have been in the state year and
the county six months, may register
and vote in the primaries.
Young men just becoming Of age
who are not subject to poll taxes may
register and vote in the primaries.
Especially should tho young men
qualify to take part in the elections.
This is the young mans day and he
should not wait until several years
have passed before qualifying.
Those who have transferred from
one precinct to another ought to see
to 1t that they are properly transferred
on the books that no mistake will pre-
vent them from voting in the coming
primaries.
Only q few more days remain in
which persons may register to vote
this spring.

or to foster and encourage farmers

recognize the advantage and increased

There is Value
In Little Things.

From waste paper alone one railroad,
last year, realized $1,000.
Pins, pens, nails, old brooms, bottles,
tin cans and worn out machinery of
all sorts are gathered up along the
route by all the railway companies and
turned into money. Even the ashes
are sold or utilized for improving the
roadbed.
These things seem small to command
the attention of a rich railway com
pany But it must be remembered
that the railway company is rich large
ly because it looks after the little
things.
The greatest corporations in the
world are not above taking care Of the
fractions of pennies.
Waste forms one of the most vital
questions in economics. not alone for
railroads and big manufacturing plants,
but for every household.
1t is impossible, of course, for any
very great sum to be realized in the
saving of waste in a household. And
yet the unusual waste of any home IS
relatively greater than that of a rail-
road.
We think 1t mean and misery to
look after the little things. And for
that reason, more than for any other.
human life is cursed with poverty and
pauperism.
There Is less mean1ess in q poor
mans saving a penny than in a rich
mans saving a million.

Strength of States.
At Convention.

OF the thousand and ninety two
delegates to go to the national Demo
cratic convention in Baltimore to nom
mate a candidate for president. Florida
is entitled to twelve. which is few
more than some OF the other states
have, yet it is seventy eight less than
New York has.
New York has always been strong
enough to practically nominate or de-
feat any candidate, and naturally New
York will have to be considered in the
coming nomination, quite as much as
in the general election.
Few people know exactly how the
states will be represented at the ma
tionai convention and the Journal gives
the table of the states and the number
Of delegates each is entitled to. 1t is
