The subcommittee of four which
vas named by the city committee of
The Progressive party last Monday
night TO consider what could be done
to clear up the questions that have
been raised concerning the ballots 10
be used at the city election on June
Z. have decided not to recommend
The bringing Of any legal proceedings
at this time TO test the matter.
IF the proceedings were instituted
they should he finally disposed of in
time not interfere with the holding
Of the election Under the law the
ballots that are ordered by the re-
spective chairman are required to be
delivered to them five days before thc
election is held. In this particular
plection the ballots must be so deliv
cred by Monday. June ?. consequently
here is not sufficient time for bring.
ing a suit OF any kind before th'
election.
I'VE had hoped that the Department
Of Elections and those representing
the two tickets in question, might b.
able to get tho matter adjusted il
a manner satisfactory TO all and il

What causes some of my sheep to
hold their heads to one side, like hogs
that have blind staggersT' asks an In
diana reader Of Farm and Fireside
The answer is:
The presence Of gadny grubs In the
upper passages Of the nostrfls and
head Is common cause Of staggers In
sheep, and the affected animal may
hold its head 10 one side or constantly
try to throw its head back over its
spine. In such sheep there Is usually
q discharge from the nOstrils. and this
may cause coughing or sneezing.
There Is no specific remedy for this
condition. but sheep usually manage to
Withstand the trouble II generously
fed. The important thing is to pre-
vent the depositing Of gadfy larvae in
the nostrils Of sheep during fiy time in
the summer. This may be managed
by daubing pine tar on the Sleeps
nose during the time when dies cause
stampeding.
