indeed.
IN bringing In sealed ballots to
tho court house this morning the
Judges had such instances as the
following to report:
a ballot would be found with the
names OF the candidates for presi-
dent and vice president crossed
with a mark Al the LEFT and the
circle at the top and all other IN
Aicated places for marks being ig-

fore, It was improper to scratch
directly opposite the heads Of the
party and the vote was consequent
u thrown out.
And here is another sackler: For
illustration. the name Of Warren
q. Harding would be scratched as
Aforesaid and the voter went fur
Their from the path by skipping over
to another party and scratching be-
fore the name OF the vice presiden-
tial candidate. More for the waste

party was evidently confusing to
many. particularly the women
Presuming the name Of Harding

opened her ballot. she Immediately
proceeded to make quick Job Of il

party. Then she glanced down and
was no doubt surprised to find only
one name on the entire ballot, that
Of John Maynard Harlan, who
sought the governorship of Illinois
Probably realizing that she had
erred and wishing to vote right she
skipped over TO the genuine Re-
publican party and voted straigh,
again. The law says you can't vote
IN two circles, so that ended 1t. al.

may have been perfectly clear. Bal

Cotton Goods Exports Drop
Latin-Asnerican Trade Hit by
Cancellations

The Latin American markets for
American-made cotton goods, which
hyva been bright spots Tor local cen
verters, are rapidly losing some Of their
brilliancy. Cancellations from South
America, and even from, Cuba, are now
reNring into the local market IL q
fairly steady stream.
Some exporters who placed orders
on. f mill terms are understood to
have been hard hit by recent c.ncclla-
tons The goods have been made and
paid for b. the exporter, bat cancella-
tons have come in before the export
ers could get the goods on board
steamers bound for the countries Of
destination. 1t is expected that 2 large
portion Of these goods will BE offered
for resale in the domestic market.

Staples and Small
Notions Escape the
Decline i'm Prices
Buyers Confident Depression
Will Not Be Felt; Are In
creasing Stocks, Accord
ing to Wholesale Survey

Business in staple notions, small
leather goods, toilet articles, etc,
while not as brisk as it was some time
ago, has not shown the extended de-
preston that is evident in the textile
and apparel trades. According to a
survey made by H. F. Samstag, Of
Samstag & Hilder Bros, large whole
salers of this type of merchandise, re-
tail sales are now in excess of last
year, at full prices and profits. The
average increase is estimated at IS to
80 per cent. Fer several weeks Mr..
Sanstag has interviewed buyers who
\are in the market concerning the con-
dition OF the retail trade and has come
to the conclusion that price cutting
has not extended to small wares to any
appreciable extent.
One of the reasons for the steady
stream of business in these lines, &C
cording to Mr. Samstag, is their staple
character, lack of wide price tluctua-
ton such as has been seen in textiles
and kindred articles, and the fact that
they are only slightly seasonal in char
acter
Several buyers. according to Mr..
Samstag, have increased their orders
for dress accessories, such as belts,
collars, bags, hatpins, etc, on the the
orr that while women may decrease
their purchases OF the large items of
apparel, they viii spend smaller
amounts on articles that can be used
to freshen up their old wardr6bes.
Business in general among the mer-
chants in the smaller towns, partcu-
larry in agricultural sections. is good.
The merchants in these communities
are optimistic concerning the purchas
ing power Of th.i- customers, based
on good crops.
An interesting item that was related
by several buyers is that the farmers
are buying Liberty Bonds on the
downward dips in the market

While many manufacturers insist
