 British Military Cross.

Boston, Oct 23.-'BiIly" O'Hara, once a left fielder of the Toronto In ternational league team. and a former scout for the New York National league club, has been recommended for the military cross in recognition of his bravery and skill in hurIing bombs for the British army on the Somme battle front, according to advices re- ceived here today from his home in Toronto.
 When O'Hara played in the Interna tonaI league he was noted for his strcng and accurate throwing Base ball men here say it was a common occurrence for him to head off a too daring base runner at the plate by a long, quick throw from deep outf1eld. OHara, lieutenant in a Canadian regiment at the front, is now furling deadly bombs instead of baseballs. Ac- cord1ng to word from Toronto, the practice he had in baseball has stood him in good stead while heading a bombing squad

WARNING TO VOTERS
Voters Inside of Corporation Limits of
Lamar Likely To BE Disfran-
chised

The voters of the three election pre-
cincts forming the incorporated city
of Lamar don't seem to realize that
they are in different situation so
far as being registered for the pur-
pose Of voting is concerned from the
rest of the county. The law that
makes this condition is absurd and
the author evidently was a man who
never expected to get in the limelight
again and wanted to use his oppor-
tunity to be remembered by for some
years at least-whether favorably or
unfavorably. He succeeded so well
that any voter who has just been
THROUGH the process Of registering
would gladly hit him with a brick if
he were to pass by at the time.
Finding fault with the law does not
help matters any though if you wish
to keep your voting privilege-that
franchise for which generations Of
men have fought and suffragettes laid
in dirty jails to secure. If you live
within the corporation of Lamar you
cannot vote unless you go in person to
the court house and register, and there
is only one more day before the pri-
mary election, Monday, September IL.
If the clerk asks you questions you
think none of his business-about your
height. color, eyes, heft, age and other
ineidentals that you presumed were
private, don't think him impertinent.
The poor fellow thinks a good deal
more swear words about the law than
you do, but he can't help it-blame it
on the jay who wrote the law and
the Legislature that passed it several
years ago.
Only about 400 out Of 1900 voters
residing in the three precincts are
registered today and hundreds will
be disappointed when they go to the
polls. If you did not vote at the city
election in the spring Of 1915 or did
not go personally to the court house
on Tuesday Of this week you are not
registered and Monday is your last
opportunity. Most of the voters have
depended heretofore on giving their
names to their precinct committeeman
and having him register them and this
can still be done in all precincts but
Lamar Nos. 1, 4, and s, which COM
prise the corporation limits. In those
three you must see to it yourself or
you cannot get your rame on the list.
No one can swear in their vote on
election day.
