American republics are urged in a man
ifestO issued Saturday by Samuel

Americas should begin now to make
preparations for sending their repre-

Our building has been so arrang-
ed that most high school classes as
well as eighth and seventh grades re-
cite on the third and fourth floors.
The music department is still in the
basement, while the science room is
on the second floor. This arrange

fusion caused by the passing of
classes
This change made it necessary to
move the fifth grade to a basement
room.
The enrolment for band and or
chestra work is very heavy. The in

give us a splendid school band as well

AT a recent meeting in Vida, it was voted to con
tinue the same committee of the vida for County
Seat Association" for the work of this campaign in
the effort to put Vida, at the November election, in
first place.
At the special election last October, Vida made
no special effort to land first place, avoiding the re-
moval OF the county seat for temporary purposes
only, the organization being certain of either first or
second place. It was the good luck of Vida that she
got second place, thus leaving the county seat tenn
p0rarily at Circle until the permanent location would
be decided this fall. Now we ask. our friends to as
sst us to put Vida in first place this fall. Circle and
Vida will be the only two names appearing on the
ballot.
Last fall it would be necessary to have had a
majority Of ALL the votes or over ALL the places
to enable one of the places to obtain the permanent
county seat, but this fall. there being only two places
to choose from, a plurality or one vote more than the
opponent is sufficient to decide the winner.
This is but a brief announcement, the principal
object being to awaken the interest of voters to the
fact registration Of voters closes at the early date of
September 18th, and if you have the interest of the
County, State and Nation at heart you should attend
to getting your name and the name of your friends
upon the registration list in case the name is not now
on the list.
All persons attaining the age of twenty-one on
or before November End, the General Election day,
are qualified to register before September 18th. No
registration can be dated thereafter. Notary Publics,
Justice of the Peace, or other qualified officers can
register persons appearing before him.
Any person who voted at the General Election
Of 1918 or who registered since that time need not
register again, but if possible, check your registra-
ton in your precinct to see that no mistake has been
made in putting your name in a precinct where you
do not reside.
Address any communications for information |
to the vida County Seat Association; P. M. KreEs- |
bach, Sec'y.; John Schillinger, Treas" Further in
formation will appear in these columns from time to |
time and through other mediums. /
