FAILED TO REGISTER.
DR.. Ballou Loses Vote, But MAY
Go North.

Pressure Of business may prevent
DR.. Frank w. Ba11ou. superintendent
of schools. from carrying out his
plans to attend a banquet to be given
in his honor in Boston, Saturday, and
to visit public schools Of New York
city. The board Of education last
Wednesday granted DR.. Ballou a
leave Of absence from October 30 to
November 2. inclusive, for the above
mentioned purposes
Belief was expressed in school cir
cles that when DR.. Ballou requested
the leave of absence he desired to re-
turn to Boston, his former home, to
vote in the presidential election. This
opinion was strengthened due to the
fact that his proposed absence will
occur around election time.
The superintendent, although he
still has a vote in Massa chusetts, will
not cast it at this election on ac-
count Of his failure to register. Gov.
Coolidge, the republican vice presi-
Dental nominee, is said to be friend
of DIR. Ballou, and the republic can
ticket undoubtedly would receive DR..
Ballou's vote if he had one.
If the superintendent can clear up
/ the mass of matters demanding his
'. attention before Friday, he will de-
part on his leave of absence Pros
poets at present. however appear
doubtful

APPEALS TO PRESIDENT.
John L. Lewis Wants Collective
Bargaining Principles Enforced.

President Wilson has received a
telegram from John L. Lewis, inter-
national president of the United Mine
Workers, asking him to request the
Department of Justice to take the
necessary legal proceedings to en-
force the principles of collective bar
gaining in the present Alabama con-
troversy.
In his telegram which was dated
Indianapolis, Ind, President Lewis
called attention to the fact that the
Alabama coal miners had been on
strike for more than six months, and
intimated that no further time should
be lost in bringing this dispute be-
tween the mine workers and the oper-
ators to an end.
At the White House today it was
intimated that President Lewis re-
quest will be referred to the Depart
ment Of Labor before any answer is
made by the President.
One Of the principal elements, it is
explained. is the contention by the
Alabama operators that the Alabama
coal fields were not made subject to
the bftuminous coal awards announced
by the Presidents coal commission
last winter; whereas the miners claim
zthatAthesez edeldA are subject to those
Awards E~-,sssr- 7-r-sfss $500

Explosive tests will be made this

ticability Of hitting a target of that
size from a height Of 1000 to 5000
feet, but the bombs used were DUN

accuracy. After the bombing experi-
ments the old warship will be an
chored in Tangier sound as a target

FARM STATISTICS.
Interesting Data Being Issued BY the
Census Bureau at Washington.


The Bureau of the Census is issuing
county press summaries, showing some OF
the most important results of the ccnsus
of agriculture, such as the number OF
farms, farm acreage, farm values, live
stock and principal crops. Special sum-
maries are also issued giving preliminary
figures for irrigation and drainage enter
prizes. These summaries are issued Tor
each county as soon as the tabulation Is
complete and are available for distribu-
ton to the press and to individuals who
may be interested, so long as the supply
lasts.
Requests for the summary for any par
ticular county will be received from in
dividuals and placed on file until such
time as that county may be completed.
Requests for more than one county will be
received from periodicals, educational
institutions, officers of organizations, and
others in position to make profitable use
of the information.
Somewhat more comprehensive sum-
maries will be issued for the States, as fast
as they are completed, and these summar-
les will be closely followed by series of
State bulletins, giving detailed informa-
tion for each State, by counties.
The number of copies of each summary
available for distribution is necessarily
limited, but it is expected that the supply
will be ample to meet any reasonable de-
mand. Requests for copies should be adj
dressed to the director, Bureau of the
Census, division of agriculture, Washing
