 Twenty mine of the ballots east at the annua> town meeting here Monday of last week bore no marks whatever The finding of blank ballots is a reg ular thing at elections, and in many cases is due to the fact that some vot- CTS have never learned how to use the present form of ballot. But it is also known that some of the ballots are purpoSely left blank and are taken by electors who have no interest in the election other than voting on the li- cense ques ton. These men must take a ballot in &ofng through the voting process, however and merely accept it, to be dropped, unmarked. into the ballot box. There also. was num- Der of mutilated wrongly marked ballots this year. so that the total number thrown out was about five per cent. of the total number of bal lots cast. and this is not far from the average loss at elections in Kiltingly.

Holiday Railroad Tickets
Can Be Purchased in Ad-
vance

AS special accommodation for
those who wish to make holiday visits
and in order that the usual holiday
rush at ticket offices may be avoided,
General Passenger Agent Geo w.
Squiggins of the Baltimore & Ohio
R. R., western lines, has announced
that railroad, parlor and sleeping car
tickets can be purchased in advance
and will be good for any day selected
at time of purchase.
It is urged that the public take ad-
vantage of this arrangement as it is
expected that the holiday travel this
year will be very heavy and travellers
will not only avoid a last minute
crush, but will assure themselves of
proper accommodations by making
their arrangements early.
1t is also urged that travellers min
imize the checking of baggage as this
will save them delays and help mater
tally in reducing the usual Christmas
congestion.

AN EXTRA GUEST FOR
CHRISTMAS
BY Alice Manning Dickey

BY Ahce Manning Dlckey
Holly in the window, turkey in the
oven, presents weighing down the
glittering tree, Christmas cheer in the
air!
Can't you make room for one more
guest in your Christmas heart-espe-
cially Z it happens to be little child
whose eyes are big and lonesome, and
whose little body looks as if it had
been hungry for good long time?
For just 10 cents you can feed the
hungry stomach of such a child on
Christmas Day. For $500 you can
care for it for the whole of the Christ
mas month And if you can dig down
in your Christmas pocket-book and
pull out $3650 all in one lump, you
can be godparent to little boy or
girl for whole year, being put in
touch with it through correspondence.
Wha1 kind of child? Well, that
do you think about little ten-year-
old boy who for three years worked
every day from sunup to sundown,
saving np branches of trees for fuel ?
He must support one crippled leg with
huge stone while he worked. One
end of a huge cross-eut saw was press
ed against his tiny chest, the other
braced against the ground, as with
outstretched arms he drew toward him
the branches which were to make fuel
and earn 40 cents week for himself
and an ola grandfather
Or how about little six-year-old
girl who when the Germans carried
away every boy baby from her town,
