CAN VOTE
ANY TICKET
MANY VOTORS UNFAMILIAR WITH
NEW PRIMARY LAW
MAY CALL FOR ANY BALLOT
The Only Requirement of the Pri-
mary Is That Men Can't Vote
More Than One Ticket

Many people are still unfamiliar
with the workings of the new pri-
mary law and nen are scratching
their heads in an effort to find a way
to vote for candidate who does not
happen to be a member OF the same
political party TO which they belong.
The solution is easy.
The only requirement of the pri-
maries Is that men can't vote more
than one ticket Whether you are
a Democrat. Republican or Phohibi-
ZIONIST you can vote which ever
ticket you wish Each man when
entering the booth Is given either
the Republican, Democrat, or
which ever party ballot he calls for.
lie can then vote for any candidates
on his ticket, However he will not
be allowed to vote for, say, the
prosecutor candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket and the candidate for
some other Office on the Democrat
or some other ticket
Men who are now registered vot-
ers OF the city and who have not
changed their place of residence,
that is. from one ward to another,
will not have to register to vote at
the primaries or the election. Men
who are not registered can register
at the registration place in their
ward August 26.
IL Is also possible to register at
the primaries at the same time one
votes so there is no excuse for a man
neglecting his first duty as a citizen
because he is not registered. Ac-
cording to a recent ruling OF At
torney General Grant Fellows. one
can register at the polling place and
then cast his ballot. At the election
a man is not held to any one ticket.
The voter can east his ballot then
for whomsoever he wishes for any
Office.

The Better Ways.

Let it be said once for all that it is
better for both body and soul TO be
obliged TO go hungry sometimes than
to be full always; it is whOlesomer to
be weary frequently from hard work
than TO keep on dead level Of com
fort or TO know weariness only from
the spinning dance and the daily pleas
ure; il is cleaner TO be dusty and bathed
I'm the blood and sweat of battle than
to be SO sheltered as not TO know the
meaning of hand to hand conflict with
a real problem or fierce temptation; ii
is grander TO break the shackles Of ex-
clusiveness and walk free in the dingy
city of social unpopularity than to be
the idol of men and women who do not
count for, but rather against, the prog
ress OF the race.-From "The Inspira-
ton Of Responsibility" by Bishop
Charles III. Brent.

THIS FISH IS A BUTCHER.
And He Carries His Saw In His Ugly
Mouth at All Times.

Moral of this fish story is: The value
of anything depends on how it is used.
A safety match used to light beacon
lamp and another match used to set
fire TO a city have widely separated
ranks in the realm Of utility. On the
same principle of values the sawtish
belongs near the bottom rank in the
ocean kingdom.
His saw, the presence Of which you
may have guessed already, consists of
a long, beaklike mouth decorated with
many sharp, firm spines. lt varies in
length with the size Of the fish, some
monsters twenty feet long carrying
saws six feet long and foot wide.
\ saw, like a match, varies in value
according TO the'way it is used. That's
where the sawliSh makes a fizzle Of
life. Think how much good he could
accomplish by using his saw ON har-
bors choked up with weeds, channels
blocked with logs and lagoons crowded
with trees and underground.
Instead OF carpenter, a road build
er. a farmer, the sawfish becomes a
butcher. He swishes his saw this way
and that quite recklessly and cuts up
smaller fish into steaks and sausage;
then he eats the pieces.-Philadelphia
North American.
