County Auditor Gardner Finds There
is Shortage Of Available Material
for the Coming General
Election.

With the presidential and state
elections but a few weeks off now,
County Auditor Robert A. Gardner is
being worried by the shortage of
election judges. For several years
past the question of appointing
judges for the election has been n
hard one according to Garner who
says in the Fort Madison Democrat:
The H. c. Of everything" during
the past few years has only tended
to increase the seriousness Of this
problem.
Thirty cents per hour is all the
board is allowed to pay clerks and
judges. but this meagre wage obvi-
ously fails to attract men with men

work In a rapid. efficient manner
With the women voting, the work
of election boards in the county will
be practically doubled this fall Some
have already suggested that inasmuch
as women have been adjudged com
petent enough to vote, they ought to
be able to act as election officials,

ardent feminine politician would rel

It is oftentimes argued that service
on an election board is patriotic
duty which the citizens owe the state
and that remuneration should have
nothing to do with it.
This argument in no way solves
the county's problem, however and
the county board members are of the
opinion that the general assembly
will have to raise the wage before it
can be assured that competent men
can be secured in sufficient number
to handle the votes at the various
polling places.

MOVING PICTURES.
Colonial,

The loss of little pocket diary
may mean nothing to the average
person, but in the plot of THE Brand
ed Four" the new mystery serial
which is to be shown at the Colonial
theatre beginning tomorrow and con
tinuing every Wednesday for fifteen
weeks thereafter, it meant the loss OF
life, torture, hardships and months o!
searching and suspense.
1.-THE Branded Four" is one Of the
new serial productions of Ben Wilson
said to be of uncommon interest be-
cause of its novel mystery plot. VI
vacious Neva Gerber has the leading
feminine role.
The fifteen episode drama opens
with the disposal of fortune belong
ing to a kinless old physician. His
trusted servant is the only one adj
mitted into his secret. Four babies
are branded on their backs with num-
bers that will only be visible at the
end of twenty years. When de-coded
the numbers refer to phrases in a
diary that reveals the hiding place of
keys which will show the way to the
old mans hidden fortune.
The physician dies, and the action
goes forward twenty years, when the
branded babies are grown into beauti-
ful young girls. The efforts of an I'M
scrupulous lawyer to learn the num-
bers on their backs and obtain the
fortune eventuates in an exciting
series Of adventures.

Fat girls and thin girls, is the all
absorbing question in the beautiful
little city Of Morovenia. Much do the
men of Moroyenia admire the large
proportions of stout women, but their
ruler is accursed with a slim and
beautifully modelled daughter, known
among the inhabitants, of the city,
and spoken of with awe, as the "slim
princess" Much is she hated by the
young men of Morovenia and great
is her sorrow, and she, the older SIS
ter. is unmarried.
The day comes when a profitable
offer for the hand Of her, younger
sister arrives from the, Prince Luis
Muldova, but until the slim princess
is married, her younger sisters hand
cannot be given in the holy state Of
Matrimony.
