USES FOR ZINC

We arc In receipt Of several in
quiries from parties interested In the
production Of zinc, who are anxious to
know some of the uses to which the
metal may be put and what the pros
poets are for an increase in its con-
sumption.
In this article we shall try to give
some Of the most common cases but
there are q great many places where
zinc would At in where It has never
been tried, owing to the fact that 9TH
er metals have been cheaper and have
been used on that account, while now
zinc il the cheapest and will take the
place in the near future.
The great part Of the output Of the
Miami field ordinarily goes to the gal
vanizing plants, where it Is used for
a coating on sheet steel in all kinds
of galvanized utensils, wire, roofing
etc.
Zinc shingle roofs ore in existence
after 200 years Of service; zinc gut
ters are ahead Of any made Of any
other metal; as an alloy zinc has q
wide field, being used in brass in a
percentage Of from 80 to As, in Ger
man silver, die casting, antifriction
metals, building hardware, etc., in
fact It will take the place Of tin and
antimony, metals worth several times
its value in the market, as an alloy.
Of late a great number Of novelties
are being made Of zinc. Zinc oxide
added to paint, gives wearing quality.
Zinc is used in the construction OF
automobile tires, dyes, batteries, ma
rine paint, electric fuses, fertilizers
burial caskets, monuments, in fact
there is no end to the list.
Now that zinc may be soldereo
without difficulty by a new process
anything heretofore made Of tin Oh
galvanized iron can be made Of zinc
and will be, as the zinc utensil IS
practically indcstructible.

FIVE BALLOTS
FOR THE VOTER
He win Have National. State. County
and Township Officers to Elect
and Decide on Two
Amendments

Five different ballots viii be hand
cd TO the voter when he enters his
polling place next Tuesday.
One ballot will contain only the
names of the national and state can
didates.
There will also be n ballot contain
ing district, county and township can
didates.
Besides these large, general ballots,
each voter will be handed three small
er tickets. Looking them over, he will
find that one of them contains the two
constitutional amendment questions
submitted. One question is: "Shall
/, the suffrage amendment be adopted?"
OF course every voter should vote
"Yes." That Is simply the duty Of
Kansas to ratify the equal suffrage
amendment to the United States con-
stitution. The democratic senate OF
the United States recently refused to
pass the federal amendment. So the
different states must 60 on approving
tn right of women to vote, until three
fourths of the country has adopted It,
when it automatically becomes q law
of the land.
Another question on this small
ticket is: "Shall an amendment to
the constitution be adopted, providing
for q permanent income for the state
educational institutions" Vote Eyes"
on this. 1t simply means that 1t will
take the state institutions out Of poll
tics, and save q lot of time which
legislatures always spend, dickering
over how much to appropriate for this
or that school.
State Senator Election
Another ballot which the voter will
receive is the ticket providing fol
choice of state senator. This is q
special election, to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Huffman. Therefore
the names of the candidates for this
particular office could not legally bt
placed on the big general ballot.
Judge A. H. SkidmOre was nomi'
mated in place of Senator Huffman by
the Republican party.
o. W. Sparks, of Galena, wa
named by the democrats.
The thoughtful voter, when he looks
at this ballot, will put cross after
the name of A. H. Skidmore. W.
think it will be generally conceded
that the Judge will make an idea
state senator, and will be able tc
look after the best interests Of Chero'
kee county.
And Still Another Ticket
The fifth ballot in the package
which you must open and mark be-
fore leaving the booth, Is the propo'
sition: "Shall q levy Of one-tenth Of
mill be made, to erect q new barr
and fences at the poor farm?"

leaned 10 virtues side" He wa:
strong in his beliefs and disbelief'

All in all, he was a good man and viii
