The cost Of the primary election
March will far exceed the prelimi-
nary estimates on which the appropri-
alton Of the county council was based,
according to County Auditor Bowman.
County officials are In the dark to
know how much the election Will cost
and have nothing to base their esti'
mates on. 1t Is believed by tho cpun.
ty auditor, however. that the cost OF
the primary will not exceed $4,000.
Since there are thirteen candidates
for county recorder on the Republican
ticket. each candidate Is entitled to
have his name head the ticket one
thirteenth Of the time. This will nee
essitate the printing Of thirteen differ
emit forms for ballots. The other offices
for which there are so many candt
dates, will rotate In the thirteen diff
ferent ballot forms.
Estimates have not been made on
the cost of the primary because this
n the first election of its kind ever
held in the state and everything is
new to the officials.
L. w. Henley, secretary OF the Re
publican state committee, estimates
that with the ticket containing thir-
teen names for one Office, such as does
the Republican ticket for county recor'
der. the cost in Wayne county will be
at least $4,000. Mr.. Bowman county
Republican chairman. believes that
this estimate Is excessive.
The great amount of work required
in printing the tickets and the tally
sheets is the largest item to be con-
sidered.. The county commissioners
not aware of the details of the primary
law or the fact that SO many candi'
dates would announce themselves,
3 asked the county council for an ap
preparation Of $4,000.
This was based on the cost Of previ.
GUS elections which cost the county
approximately $500. The registra
ton cost $500 and the commissioners
believe that the primary election
would not cost more than the general
: election and allowing $500 extra fol
tally sheets, they placed the estimate

COUNCIL ASKS MAYOR TO NAME JUNE 10 AS
PREPAREDNESS DAY"-OTHER DOINGS

The city council last night voted
for the preparedness parade featured
by the Assn of Commerce, the Hi
nOis Manufacturers assn and other
Big Business organizations.
With only two dissenting votes
those of Aid. Rodriguez and Kennedy
the city council asked that the
mayor name June 10 as Prepared
ness Day" and name a committee to
work with the commercial commit
tee who framed the stunt.
John NJ Glenn, the busy sec'y Of
the H. Manufacturers assn, says he
has arranged with the big bosses to
have all their employees forced to take
part in the parade.
The council also took a hand in
international affairs by a prolonged
discussion of a resolution offered by
Aid Kennedy asking that Pres. Viii
son and congress use every effort to
avoid a break with any foreign
power. This was placed on file. Aid.
Merriam's resolution of peace with
honor" after a long and hot scrap
was beaten SO to II.
The mayor was victorious in his
fight for appointments announced
last week. The biggest fight was
the appointment of Jos. j. Elias,
Thompson leader in the 29th ward,
to the local improvements board.
Aid Hrubec presented affdavits
which purpOTted that Elias, as treas
urer of a church fund, had refused
an accounting. One of the afhdavits
was repudiated by the signer.
Another communication. on Elias
was the letter dug up by HTUbec and
Buck that Elias had the city send
free cinders to a contractor who con-
trolled IS votes. In spite of this
scrap Elias was confirmed by a vote

So the bunny uncle hurried back 10

took his place in his airship, which
was made Of a clothes basket. with ton
circus balloons to make it rise in the
air, and an electric fan in back. going

Up into the sky rode Uncle Wiggily.

he said:

Gladly would we move" said the
clouds but we need the wind to helm

away so the silvery mOonbeams may

"Of course ] will" kindly answered
the West Wind, whistling through his
teeth. Then he blew the clouds away.
and down slid the silvery moonbeams
TO make lights for the fairies dancing

did not like to be hidden away behind

Then Uncle Wiggily. taking his air
snip back to the bungalow and leaving
the fairies TO dance, went on to see
Uncle Butter. But on his way home
from the goat gentleman's house. il
was so dark that Uncle WiggiIv got
lost in the woods. He could not tell
which way to go. and as it was now
late and the fairies dance was over
