TWO ORPHANS

~ NE day Bah Rabbit was playing
around the woods when he met
Tom Kitten. "Where are you
going?" asked Bah Rabbit, for at first
he thought Tom was one of his rela-
tives, he looked so much like his fam
lily.
"Oh, I am going to play / am an
orphan and get fiddle; then every
one will give me mice. I expect I'll
get rich because saw hand-organ

The Republican is in RECEIPT Of the
following communication from M. e
Barnett of Firth which we are glad
to publish as giving some practical
things for farmers to consider in the
present political campaign:
II the farmers of the United States
think they have nothing at stake in
this election, If they think it is
simply contest between the po-
litical ms and outs and that 1t makes
no particular difference to the
farmer which wins, they are making
a very great mistake, and are likely
to realize it when too late to help
{ themselves. t
Are not the farmers entitled to
such representations? The Republi-
can party thinks they are. Under
Republican rule for 16 years that
sturdy and faithful Iowa farmer.
Tama Jim Wilson, was at the head
of the great department of agricul-
ture. What happened when the
Democrats came into power? Why,
they turned out Tama Jim and put
in university professor, who knew
nothing about farming and gave no
evidence Of caring about it.
Farm interests are vitality affected
by the administration of the federal
reserve banking system, by the farm
loan system, etc. Should not thoroly
competent men who understand the
farmers needs and who have a
sympathetic interest in agriculture
be on these boards? The Republican
party thinks they should and says
so.
The Fixing Of Prices
Both parties were asked to prom
Use to put an end to price fixing on
farm products and to government
drives, to beat down prices of farm
products. The Democrats refused to
make such pledge, the Republicans
agreed and in their national plat
form pledged to put an end to un-
necessary price fixing and all con-
sidered efforts arbitrarily to reduce
prices of farm products, which in
variably results to. the disadvantage
of both producer and consumer.
Do you remember what happened
when we got in the war? Do you
remember President Wilson's defini-
ton of just price? He said,p "By
just price mean a price which will
sustain the industries concerned in
a high state of efficiency, provide
living for those who conduct them,
enable them to pay good wages and
make possible the expansion of their
enterprise, etc."
And then do you remember what
happened? Government contracts
were let on cost plus basis; that Is,
the manufacturer was allowed to
figure handsome percentage on top
of all hts expense and fix his price
to cover everything. Was the
farmer allowed that just CD price
which was granted SO freely to
others. No, he was not!
Prices on some of his products
were absolutely fixed and without in
vestigation Of the cost of production.

cratic administration, when asked

men in the eastern part OF the state.
One man was found who had no kicks
in particular with his condition.
There were three dairymen who noted
that butter substitutes and the need or
advertising dairy products have been
potent causes Of low pRices or milk IN
their vicinity. Five others answered
that they must receive higher price for
milk through the use OF better selling
methods and marketing organizations.
Ohio county pays S435 per hundred for
$3.50 milk.
The average size of the farms was 1853
acres. There were only sixteen renters

.R|VERMEN DO NOT

Much speculation has been going on

the heavy SHOWS which fell recently.

soldutely no grounds for fear. as the
snow melted mildly, and there Is hard

although there is indications or rise
towards the breakwaters or the Mana

The river at the present time. Is In
the most navigable condition that IT
has been In for several weeks past
and these conditions have enabled the
Liberty Transit company to recall their
packet General Wood from Cincinnati.

low water, and to resume their schcd-
Mo between Pittsburgh and Charles,

OF the winter. and opens up again

VOTERS NEED 80
Ne VI PRECINCTS
Present Facilities For Election
Are Said to be Entirely
inadequate.

Nearly 90 additional voting pre-
cincts viii be needed in the county
TO care for the coming election If
the new apr nment contemplated
by the county commissioners Is car
ried out is tho estimate Of County
Clerk Wilbur NJ Warner.
The 90 precincts into which the
county IS now divided. il Is thought.
will be entirely inadequate 10 meet
the increase in population and the
additional votes OF the women.
About los precincts should be
made in the county II there is 10 be
a new apportionment." said Mr..
Warner. While this would make
the vote light in some precincts this
year, that number will be necessary
TO care for the increase in popu-
lation which Is sure 10 come in the
next few years"
According TO Mr.. Warmers esti
mate Is precincts should be made
in the rural districts of the county.
This is but one over the present
number. Lincoln township with
Walkerton in its should be divided
into two precincts" he said.
Needs of Mishawaka.
Mishawaka should have over
double the present number A prop
er number of precincts 10 take care
Of the increases there in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Warner should be 20.
There are but eight at the present
time.
Seventy precincts will be neoes-
sary to take care of South Bend in
future elections. There are but 81 at
the present time in the city This
new estimate is expected 10 be ade-
Ouate for the needs of the city for
the next 10 years.
THE new appointments are es-
timated on a population in South
Bend of 125, 900 and $4,000 in Misha-
waka," said Mr.. Warner I hardly
expect any change in the rural OPP
ulatiOn."
Estimate of Voters
Figures of the election OF Novem-
Der. 1918. showed a registration of
5000 and 1900 votes cast. The
proportion of votes to the number
of people registering is usually
higher. Many soldiers registering
who left before voting and others
who mailed their registrations did
not vote are the causes given for
this.
OF the votes cast in that election.
about 200 were cast in the rural
districts. $500 in Mishawaka and
9 900 in South Bend. The registra-
tions in the country and cities were
pIoportionately the same.

Probable Registration.
There will probably be $4,000 men

county. Taking the usual percentage
in previous elections, there would
be a vote cast OF 10000 men and IL. =
900 women.
The division Of voting in the coun-
~ is estimated as follows: Rural
districts, 1000: Mishawaka. 1000;
South Bend. $1,000. This would be

Warner. Il think the precincts

Mishawaka and the rural districts
is based on 300 voters 10 each pre-
cinct This. thinks Mr.. Warner,
would be a fair average for the Lres-
ent and would allow for an increase
up 10 400 in each precinct without
unduly crowding the voting mach
ines. A voting machine counting 400
votes IN a day would average near
ly a vote a minute.

sion Of the state legislature pro-

10 mean a strict forbiddance OF the
use Of voting machines for the fem
mime votes. Separate registration for
women Is also specified In the bills
Although there was considerable
doubt in the minds Of many as 10
just what offices the women would
be allowed TO vote, the concensus OF
opinion now is that they may vote
on presidential electors only.
The county commissioners have
taken up the ACCESSIBILITY Of reap
portioning the precincts OF the coun-
" and steps have been taken to-
ward that end. If taken uL this year,
this work must be done by the
March term OF the commissioners

Prices quoted to the commission
ers place the cost OF one voting
machine at s1.O72.5O. If new pre-
cincts are established il will neces-
state the purchase of many OF these
