A Weakness Of the Absentee Voters
Amendment,

The application made by a New
York woman for leave to, vote as an
absentee because she expected to be
kept away from the polls ON election
day by reason of her pregnancy d.
reefs attention to condition of law
which should be remedied es quickly
as possible. ~ 49,
As the electors have decided that
absentee voting should be. permitted,
it seems reasonable that It should be
allowed on generous terms. The con-
stitutional amendment adopted in
1919 provides that: .3si.ii
The Legislature may, by general
law, provide manner In which, and
the time and place at which, quail
fed voters who may, on the occur
renee OF any general election. DO
unavoidably absent from the State
or county Of their residence because
their duties, occupation or business
require them TO be elsewhere within
the United States, may vote, and for
the return md canvass of their
votes in the election district in
which they respectively reside"
Child bearing is certainly duty Of
women, their most important duty,
and If an expectant mother. moved
from the county Of her residence to
another county in this State or to
another State, for her child to be
born she would undoubtedly be; en-
titled to vote as an absentee. But If
she remains at home and is pre-
vented by her condition from going to
the polls she must lose her vote.
though she foresaw this possibility
well in advance of election day and
sought, to provide against &.
This Is the decision of the Board Of
Elections, which must obey the law
enacted by the Legislature. We do
not see how it could have reached
any other conclusion. Yet 1t is unfair
to extend to those who, because Of the
accident of employment In certain vo-
cations, cannot get to the polls the
right to vote and withhold that right
from those who are detained by rea-
son Of their performance Of the high
est and most important duty that can
be performed by a citizen for the
State and for mankind.
If absentee voting Is to be con-
tinued the Constitution should be
amended to extend the privilege to
expectant mothers, and probably to
other citizens now without II.

"Llmitless" Shale OIL.

When DR.. vIcroR ANDERSON, presl-
dent of the Colorado School Of Mines,
speaks of the Rocky Mountain de-
posts Of oil shale as "llmitless,' as
he does In his recent work, "The OIL
Shale Industry" it Is reassuring.
The engineers and chemists of the
bureau use figures which In sense
warrant the Coloradan's "limltless'
The scientists who have been An
vestlgating for the Government say
that the, shale- deposits .,of Colorado
alone can be made to produce, with
no more than one hundred distilling
plants, 100000 barrels of oil day
for 800 years. The Utah deposits are
apparently greater, and no estimates
have been made of the quantity which
may be distilled from known large
deposits in Montana, Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Nevada and California.
The estimated extent and economic
value of the deposits grow as field
surveys are extended and made more
thorough. In 1915 the Director of
the Geological Survey, GEORGE OTrs
Smith. issued a report Of field In
vestigations made in 1914-15 by DEAN
e. WEBSTER, in which that authority
on economic geology wrote:
"Tn Colorado alone there Is suffi-
Gent shale to yield about 2o,000,0oo.-
900 barrels of crude oil. from which
1000 900, 900 barrels of gasolene may
be extracted. and In Utah there is
probably an equal amount OF shale
just as rich"
This is an estimate based on shale
richer than that now mined and dis
titled commercially In Scotland. In
1918 later Investigator, Dr. WIN
CHESTER, wrote:
'Tt is estimated that the Utah
portion of tho basin (Unita) alone
contains SUFFICIENT shale TO produce
42,so0,0O0.00O barrels OF crude oil
with perhaps 100000. 900 tons OF am
monium suiphate." -f
II Is seen that the former estimate
OF Utah's product Is doubled by later
investigation, so that without going
Into the other States named there Is
promised supply Of 100000 barrels
of crude oil a day for $500 years.
This would seem to allow ample time
for successful conclusion Of the
worldwide search now being carried
on with microscopes, test tubes and
enthusiasm for that fundamental
force which,. say some physicists, when
captured and harnessed, will relegate
steam and electricity 20 museums Of
ancient motive powers. Ammonium
sulphate, by-product OF shale oil,
would, during those twenty-five CEN
turtles, have supplied a soil fertilizer
"for all the farms Of the West" writes
one investigator.
Had not the discovery OF "coal oil"
served such good economic turn for
this country most II not all OF its
products would long ago have been
supplied by shale. for the Mormons
had begun to dlstil Illuminating oil
from shale in 1860. In the same year
distillatlon Of oil shale was begun In
Scotland, where It has been carried
on under favorable economic condi-
tions continuously ever since. The
output in 1917, forced for merchant
marine and naval fuel purposes, rose
TO 3,116,52o long tons of oil. In this
country says the Bureau of Mines,
there are mo shale plants working
onsn commercial scale"

Farm Bureau Notes

i KAHOKA, Mo-, July 1.-THE de-
lstruction of crops in the district Wis
tied by hail last week was by far the
worst in the history of the county.
IUnharvested crops were destroyed as
completely as if a fire had swept
over the area. Corn that was not
too large will no doubt come out of
it, and make a partial crop, but the
oats and wheat can only be utilized
by pasturing with hogs or, some kind
of stock
! For catch crops, sorghum, Sudan
grass, millet and buckwheat may be
sown, but the results all depend on
the season. If it is desired to store
the feed for winter use, sorghum and
millet would be best Sudan grass
would do for feeding out as selling
crop, but would be hard to cure late
in the season. Buckwheat would Of
course, be grown for seed as for
grinding into flour. If the summer
remained cool it would probably do
very well, but if hot and dry would
not be profitable.

Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruff


The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use. enough to
moisten the scalp and rub It IN gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruf will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy;
every single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work

RAIN
DURING WEEK
Favorable For Crops IN Iowa, A.
though Haying Has Been De-

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service !
DIES MONIES, Ia, July 14.-The
Iowa weather and crop bulletin for
the week ending July IS, issued here
today, said in part:
Abundant rains and moderate
temperatures have been generally
favorable for crops, though haying
has been delayed and some clover
damaged by the rains.
Corn has made excellent progress
in spite of the cool weather 1t is
farther advanced than usual in the
central and northern districts and
averages not more than a week later
than normal in the backward south
ern districts, where 1t is catching UP
rapidly. 1t is too early to say that
the corn crop is assured"
The storms of the seventh, eighth
and ninth did considerable damage
to crops in Clayton, Dallas, Davis,
Mahaska, Polk, Scott and Winneshiek
counties. The damage will probably
exceed 100000, the bulletin declared.
