John w. Titcomb of Lyndonville is in
the village today. The commissioner
states that conditions at the site re-
Gently purchased for hatchery on
the south stream are proving even
more satisfactory than he had at first
expected. The water supply he con
siders one of the best, If not the best
in the state. No work on perma.

after the water has been tested with
the temporary outfit now on the
grounds. No matter how favorable
the conditions may appear In the be.
ginning. the commissioner states. It
Is not safe to put up permanent plants
until after the water has been tested
with' an experimental outfit. The U.
$. government in years past wasted
thousands of dollars in the construc.
ton of hatcherics on sites that proved
to be worthless Tor the purpose.

"THE EVIL THEREOF"
Powerful Drama at Harte Theatr
Today.

Today.
The Famous Players recently re-
leased The Evil Thereof" five-part
adaptation of the drama by Claiming
Pollock and Rennold Wolf. 1t is
morality drama; treated in a power
full way. The object of the story is to
show the widely divergent uses to
which money may be put. There is
shown the contrast in which the spend
thrift showers money on those who
share his orgiesfand the scant eonsid-
Grafton he bestows upon the wife of a
laborer fatally injured by his machine.
The picture is directed by Robert u.
Vignola in the Famous Players style.
Two characters stand out in the
story. Frank Losee is seen in the role
of the wealthy man who Is in business
not because he needs the money. but
because he believes it to be expedient
o,get away from the possibility OF the
charge of being one of the idle rich;
the broker is altogether despicable, a
libertine without a saving grace unless
it be the lavish manner in which he
throws money, hundred-dollar bills, to
his women friends. Grace Valentine
is manicurist who is seduced by the
broker and, disowned by her father,
afterward has no interest in life; her
subjugation is complete; there Is
nothing for her to do but heed the
beck and CALI Of the broker. 1t is a
strangely contrasting pair, The two
roles are splendidly played. The
smooth villany of the one is matched
by the deep despair OF the other.
The story is a succession of trag-
edies-of the soul and also of blood.
The elimination is near the close of
the banquet where the broker enter
tains seven of his friends, or associ-
ates il you will. The brooding mani
curist, repentant rebelious, over
come by shame, plunges the carving
knife into the breast of the host.
"The Evil Thereof is realism
gilded brutality The story grips.

CAUTION TO VOTERS!
Voters Who Have Signed
Petitions OF Candidates Have
in No Way Bound Them
selves TO Vote for the
Candidate Whose Pc
tition They Signed

The senatorial ticket presenting
the names of candidates for the
office of United States Senator is
a separate ticket.
Voters marking their x OPP
posite any name under any i0rty
on the Senatorial ballot are not
obligated to vote for names Of
candidates of the same party on
other ballots, and vice versa, at
the primaries on September IL.
To illustrate; A democrat vot-
| ing for a republican candidate for
the United States Senate may
vote the. democratic State ticket.
This matter is clearly set for
tn in an editorial in the Burling-
| ton Free Press of Sept. l..
There is no law compelling any
man who has signed a candidates
| petition to enable him to get on
the primary ticket to vote for that
same man at the primary ballot
box. The two steps are entirely
separate and distinct.
One regulation which voters
must carefully bear in mind is that
no man can vote for candidates on
two different party tickets any
more than he would expect 10 90
into the caucus OF two different
parties and help make nominations
for both parties. The party tickets
will be on the ballot side by side as
| in a regular election, and the voter
I must .oonfnc his marking on any
one ballot to the names under enc
party hesdins. II he votes for

sc OF the democratic ticket.

cials TO tl..s out such ballot in
counting
The state ticket will be entirely
reaarata from the United States
senatorial and county and repre-.
sentative tickets. and the voter
must be careful to mark and vote
for each OF these separate ballots.
! There is nothing to prevent any
man from voting for a republican
Tor United States senator and for
democrat for town representa-
tive or State auditor. or vice
versa, because these are ON sepa
rate ballots.
