Female Vote
Is Indicated From
Registrars Books

mine days to go" says County
Clerk L. G. Boyer, in reminding vot-
ers that the registration books will be
closed at the end of the days bust
ness, April 20. 1920.
Just what the new registration fig
ures will show for the period March
1 to April 20, is hard to conjecture.
Registrations made up to the present
time indicate that the male voters
will have to show more interest in
the matter than at present as women
are frequent Registrars at the desk in
the court house office. On one day
last week more women than men in
sured the suffrage privilege.
Registration totals up to March l,
1920, are as follows: Male S66S, fe-
male 6SSS, total Marion county A.
556. Political divisions; Republican
10, aga, democrat 1926; prohibition
40; socialist 225; prpgressives, non
partisan, independent and non-com-
initial S6S.
For voters in Salem and vicinity,
the office is open from to IL o'clock
in the morning and from l to )
o'clock in the afternoons of all week
days. Precinct registrars in districts
outside of Salem report awakening
interest as the registration time draws
to q close.

would have to be done to put an end
to Major Monkeys stone throwing.
But nobody could suggest any way
to cure Major Monkey of his unpleas-
ant habit. And at last Mr.. Crow went
to Aunt Polly Woodchuck and asked
her if she couldn't give the Major
an herb of some sort to eat, which
would make him stop wanting 10
|pelt every head he saw.
But Aunt Polly replied that II
wasn't possible.

food he would only throw more
stones at you"
Mr.. Grow exclaimed that he didn'.

chuck. ION what sort of fare is he
living at PRESENT." she inquired.
Mr.. Crow answered that he wasn't
quite sure, but he thought Major
Monkey fed for the most part on
eowbird's eggs.
Aunt Polly Woodchuck shook her
head.
That's not possible" she cried.
There aren't enough eowbirds' eggs
in Pleasant Valley to make anybody
so fat as the Major is getting. IN
less I'm mistaken, he's taking the
eggs of a good many others besides
C~owbirds."
Mr.. Grow became greatly excited.
'Then he's a thief" he squawked,
major Monkey is an egg theft" AMI
he tapped away across the pasture
in a fine rage, to tell everybody what
Aunt Polly Woodchuck had said.
A little later in the day Major
Monkey began to notice that a COOL
many of his neighbNs looked at him
very coldly. The birds, especially,
glared at him as if they were actual
ly angry. And wherever he went they
set up a loud twittering. Some OF
them even flew at his head and tried
to peck him as they darted past.
At first he couldn't imagine what
was the matter. But before the day
was done Jasper Jay let him know
what made the bird people angry.
you're a sneak thief!' Jasper
told the Major bluntly. "We've found
at last what makes you so fat. You've
been stealing eggs from every nest
IN the woods!''
"Tut! Tut!' said Major Monkey,
"When a lazy Cowbird lays an egg
in somebody else's nest, the owner
ought to be grateful to me for taking
the egg out and eating it,"
ITS not hat. Jasper Jay replied.
1.-THE trouble is, you've taken all kinds
of eggs"
well Well" said Major Monkey.
ITO be sure, 1 may have made a mis-
take now and then. But what's an
egg or two, more or less, when one
has a half dozen of them?"

There is no doubt that the Major
