NEW JERSEY BALLOTS ALSO

I Columbus, Ohio, April 27.-Chief in
terest in todays presidential primary
election in Ohio centered in the fight
on the Republican Ucke: between
United States Senator Warren G.
Harding of Ohio and Major General
Leonard Wood.
Ohio voters today were expressing
their preference for presidential can.

the republican and democratic nation.
al conventions.
The principal primary fight was be:
tween Major General Wood and Sen
ator Warren G. Harding. "Ohio's fav.
Orite son" for the republican presi-
dental endorsement for control of the
4S delegates to be chosen for the ma
tiOnal convention at Chicago.

posed for the presidential endorse.
ment on the democratic. ticket and all
delegates are pledged to him.
Republican voters had the choice
today of expressing preference for
William Grant Webster Of New York,
or Elwood Hamilton of Hammond,
Ind. for vice president. There we're
no candidates for vice president on the
democratic ticket.
Harding Wood Contest
Fights between Harding and Wood
supporters for the district delegates
however, were being waged in all but
three of the 20 districts of the state.
Wood candidates did not enter in
three districts.
| Or the six candidates for delegates
at-large to. the Republican national
| convent ion, four are Harding men and
two are pledged to Wood. Four arc
| to be elected.
Harding campaign managers claim
that Harding would carry the state by
a substantial vote and that all of the
Harding delegates would be success
full. Wood managers cOntended that
their candidates would carry the state
in the preference vote, but did not
claim that all their candidates fol
delegates would be successful. Wood
leaders said they confidently expected
that more than half of the 48 dele
gates to be elected would be pledged
| to, their candidate.
| Because there was no contest or
the Democratic ticket, todays vote
was expected to be unusually light
! Considerable interest was being mani
tested in the Republican vote in the
cities, but there was little apparent
interest in the rural communities.
| Former Governors on Ticket
! The Harding candidates for dele
gates at Large are former Governors
Frank B. Willis and Myron r. Her
rick, Mayor John Calvin of Cincin
natl and Attorney Harry M. Daugh
erty of Columbus. The two WOOD
candidates are former Attorney Gen
eral Edward G. Turner of Columbus
and Attorney William H. Boyd, o
Cleveland. The three districts where
Wood candidates are not entered are
the first and second (CincinnatD ant
the 21st (Cleveland).
Because OF the referendum callel
recently upon the Reynolds bill, whict
would have permitted women to vott
for president in Ohio, women will bt

MANY WORKMEN
 INPITTSBURCH
 BUY OWN HOMES
High Rents Force Them to
 Buy or Move.

Pittsburgh, March 1.---More than 60,0O0 Pittsburgh families bought their homes during the past year, not because they were particularly anx- ious to own their own homes, but, &C., cording to real estate men, they had to buy or move. This is continuing at the same rate thus far this year.
 The home buying movement began two years ago when war activities in the mills brought scores of families into a community where housing ac- commodations had been increasingly scarce for number of years. Cost o1 construction increased and this cur tailed building operations.
 Rents have increased in proportion l ing the highest percentage. Ffft! per cent raises for the coming yea are said to be common while in som' i instances 100 per cent has been asked and paid where the occupant coul' afford it. '"The demand is here an the living places are not'' is the wa
 one real estate man explained tn situation.
 Similar conditions prevail through
 out the Pittsburgh district. In som 4 manufacturing towns, industrial cor
 porations are building and buyin
 houses for their men, while in ShaI
 on. Pa, the Chamber of Commerc has undertaken to finance the con l struction of 500 residences.

HEARD WITH A
 LISTENING DEVICE

Admiral Sims fin the Worlds Work for March tells of the efficiency of the subchaser listening devices Once when a submarine had been injured and was lying on the bottom in shallow water a grewson1e thing was heard: They listened for hours, without hearing a sound; but about five o'clock on the afternoon a sharp piercing noise came ringing over the wires It was a sound that made the listeners blood run cold.
 Only one thing in the world could make a sound like that It was the crack of a revolver. The first report had hardly sti1led when another shot was heard; and then there were more in rapid succession. The listeners on two different chasers heard these pistol cracks and counted them;
 the reports which these two men in
 dependently made agreed in every
 detail. In all. twenty five shots
 came from the bottom of the sea As there were from twenty five t thirty men in a subna rine crew th, meaning was all too evident Tn, | larger part of officers and men , finding themselves shut tightly il

Paris, March 1.---Babies in France in war time or since have received many topical names for the most part ugly and incongrugous. An appeal has now been issued that this cus- tom cease, and that the ordinary christian names, drawn rom the Cal endar of Saints, should once more be- come universal throughout the coun- trv Among the names given to some of the unfortunate children born dur ing the war, Joffrette and Joffrcra are common. A father of Bordeaux was anxious to christian his caugh- ter Revanche and this name Was also
 suggested by an inhabitant of Mon-
 truil for his son. Place names. such
 as Nauur, Liege, Le Marne, A1sace-

DOLLAR ONCE WORTH4O CENTS
 UP IN CANADA

Toronto, Gan, March 1.---There was a. time when the American dollar, to- day worth SLIT in Canadian money. could be pcked up here for 40 cents. Those were the far-off days of the Civil War, before most of Toronto money magnates had entered the world, and when Sir Edmund Walk er,s president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. was a youth in his un' c1e's private banking office at Ham 1lton.
 During a considerable portion of the period between 1861 and 1865 the Am er1can dollar brought 50 cents and I even 40 cents. At one time things 1 looked so black for the North that 1 in Quebec the American greenback fell to 40 cents whereas the Confed- l crate dollar brought 35 cents Not until about 1879 did the American dollar get to par.
 Canada was flooded with Yankee
 notes during t-e civil war and private
 individuals made a lot of money buy
 ing them and selling them after peace
 was declared. The late Col. Burgess,
 the famous Toronto minstrel of years
 gone by. is said to have built the row
 of brick houses on the east side o1
 Upper Simcoe street from the profits 1 he made on a trunkful of greenbacks he accumulated when receiving record salaries in the United States. ,i A prominent banker of this cit! 7 states that there can be no magic { ! cure for the present exchange situa a ton which today has placed the Can |. adtan dollar at 8 discount of IT T. = 1 per cent. in the United States.

srDoctors decide to strike.

Charles A. l.. Reed, of C1nc1nnau' formerly president of the American Medical Association. in an address al I Los Angeles

0NE-THIRD OF PEOPLE IN |. 5. LIVE ON FARMS

Nearly one-third of the people of the United States, or more than thirty millions, live on farms. Nearly twenty million more live in communities hav- ing a population of less than 2,500. In other words, nearly one-haf of the population of this country is to be found on farms or in country dis tricts, according to a compilation of agricultural statistics contained in a booklet, "Our Basic Industry-Amer- ica's Agricultural Prosperity just issued by the Guaranty Trust Com. pany of New York. The publication, which deals with the ever interesting importance of farming from the standpoint of the national welfare, continues, in part. as follows:
 ''The farming interest is not conn prised entirely, however, of those l who actually live on farms. Some l thing like 40 per cent of our farms ! are rented and great many of the
 owners live in cities and villages. This means that among the merchants, l lawyers, real estate operators, bank CTS, and insurance men of our cities, and especially the cities and villages
 in agricultural sections, there will be i found owners of farms or men whose business is directy dependent on or ! connected with farming.
 !t'The amount of capital invested in
 farming is large and constantly fn- l creasing. In 1910 the value of all
 farm property was approximately
 sA1 enn. 900 900, or more than the
 capital of all the n7anufa curing es-
 tab1ishm ents, railways mines and ouarries in the United States. The ; value of farm p~one~tv in 1919 is
 conserve tive7v estimated at more thar
 s51.Onnnoo 900.
