Q EVERAL months ago. Lafe had an off-day.
~ He couldn't think OF another relative on
earth TO put on the county payroll
Hamilton scratched his head-and thought
and thought.
Suddenly he was inspired.
''Why not buy voting machines Ham
iton said.
And Lafe answered "Fine idea"
So the county bought 200 voting machines
at $3.50 each, totalling $4,000, besides freight
charges
Now it develops there isn't any chance TO
vote, according TO the laws of this state, on those
machnes-AND SO THE ENTIRE INVEST
MENT MAY PROVE WORTHLESS. Suit was
started today in the superior court to prevent
the use OF the machines
The law OF this state requires the OF eandi-
dates in primary elections to rotate
That that every candidate for office has
the chance for position the ballots
On ballots one candidates appears
first. and other ballots another mans appears
first. The ballots equally divided this way.
But Lafe Hamlton's voting machines can't
rotate names.
The law also cornpels voters TO express first
and second choice when there are four or more
candidates for state pr congressional office.
But Hamilton's voting machines have
way of telling whether man voted first choice
alone, or first and second choice, both.
As a result of these difficulties and failures
to meet the requirements of the law, suit has
been started by James Y. G. Kellogg, candidate
for congress- thru Attorney Carroll Gordon, to
prevent the use of the voting machines, al
together.
If Kellogg wins

Do You Know That Your Seed Corn
viii Grow? Test-Don't Guess.
/ 1t is only good business to know
that the seed that we put into the
ground will grow; and the only way
we can tell good seed is by testing
it. We can't tell by merely looking
at it. II we; want profitable yields
we must plant good seed.
Fen million acres OF corn planted
in Iowa every year are grown OH
217, 900 farms, an average of about
forty-six acres to each farm. 1t will
take about 800 ears to plant forty
acres. Twenty-four hours time of
one man, two days work, will test
six kernels from each ear to plant
forty acres. Yet, because it is "too
much bother, we pick ont 600 ears,
look at them, guess, that they will
grow, and plant them. AS a conse-
quence, more than twelve acres out
of each forty acres OF corn planted in
Iowa produce nothing. This is worse
than useless, because we must plOW,
plant and cultivate these twelve acres
and get nothing in return.
/ BY testing we get rd of the bad,
weak, and moldy ears. Testing does
not hurt the corn, 1t costs but about
ten cents an acre, and can be done at
a time of the year when other farm
work is not pressing. By testing we
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose. .
Discard the Poor Ears Before Testing
| In the winter, during slack season
or in the early spring, from February
20 to March 20, select the best ears
from the corn you have stored in the
