BALLOTS FOR WET
AND DRY ELECTION
TO BE initiated
Court Interprets. That
Election Officers Must
Endorse Them
WILL PREVENT MARKING
OF BALLOTS Outside

Clerk of the Peace John l. Wright
yesterday conferred with the State
judiciary in the latter's parlors in the
Public Buildings in order TO clear up
some phases OF the law providing for
the "wet" and "dry" election in No
vember about which Mr.. Wright was in
doubt.
The main point on which he sought
instructions was that regarding tbs
initiating Of ballots. The special cleo
ton law in that section which defines
the duties Of the Clerk Of the Peace,
provides that "The said ballots shall be
initiated by the clerk, delivered to quaE-
fed voters, deposited in the ballot
boxes and counted in the same way
as at a general election
In another portion Of the same section
IL Is provided that "all the provisions
and requirements of law looking to the
secrecy of the ballot shall apply with
fun force TO the special election herein
provided for"
The Judges directed Mr.. Wright TO
; have envelopes provided, as under the
general election law. and TO issue In
structions to the elAtion officers to
place their initials on each ballot hand
ed TO O voter and also on each envelope
in which a ballot is enclosed when Il il
deposited in the ballot box.
This viii relieve the Clerk Of the
Peace Of the stupendous task Of plac-
ing his initials on each ballot. Under
the general election law the election
officers are required TO place tbiy
initials upon the envelopes In which
ballots are enclosed when voted. but
not upon the ballots themselves. Under
the Interpretation made by the Judges
yesterday, Il will not DO possible fol
voters to mark their ballots outside th'
election place, az the election ofIicerl
will hand initiated ballots only Z
voters. while ballots that might be cir
eulated outside the election place
would not contain the election officers
initials.
Clerk Of the Peace Wright also vii
call unon the license and anti-llcensl
committees to appoint challengers d
represent them at each election place
The court instructed Mr. Wright e
draw up and issue set Of instruction
20 election officers and voters for th
November election.

Tin Can Preparedness.

"The women and girls of Florida
who have been preserving the surplus
vegetables and fruits in tin cans,
glass cans and jars, can go right
along with their work, knowing that
it is not only good business to do so,
but shows a spirit of patriotism,
says Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, State
Agent for home demonstration work
to the University of Florida extension
division. The canning work, begun
by the county agents in 1912, showed
itself last year to be of great value,
More than 1000 home Gamers are in
use, and these will give a great i'm
petus to the work that is to be carried
on to greater extent this year.
Florida must feed herself this year
and the women, with their canning
and preserving outfits, arc going to
do much toward the realization of
this ambition. AS an example of
what can be done, the county agent
for Manatee county reported that &c.
600 cans were filled by her club girls
last year One firm in Hillsboro
county sold 100000 containers last
wear, farmers buying more than co.

STERN CALL ON ENGINEERS
Italian Army Had to Fight Nature as
Well as the Forces to Which 1t
Was Opposed.

A recent message from the field
Headquarters of the Italian army says
that the transportation romance of this
450-mle mountain front, set down in
cold, hard figures, reads thus: 2,44S
miles of railroad rebuilt or repaired !;
800 miles of new railroad built; $50
miles of airline cables stretched for
the teleferica system; 10000 miles of
telephone wire put up; 10000 new
troop, hospital and freight buildings
erected; 200 miles of narrow gauge
railroad laid in or behind the trenches
10 new bridges thrown across rivers
and precipices to accommodate 2,O4O
miles of operating road.
The work is credited to 12O civil en-
gineerS of the government department
of public works, aided by army en-
gineers proper; likewise by 100000
workmen and 100000 army mules,
hitchcd to $4,000 wagons.
The foregoing is the first official rec
ord of the exact extent of the con-
Struction work on this front, carried
on steadily for IS months, despite enc
my artillery, avalanches, snOwfallS,
rains, floods, frost, lack of material
and all of the other ills by which en-
gineers are beset.
