PETTY GRAFT at THE POLLING PLACES

1t is time to put an end to the graft at the polling places
on election day. The graft we refer to is the custom some
election boards have of putting a box in front of the ballot
box and soliciting contributions from the voters, and more
particularly the candidates., to buy dinner or supper for the
election officers. Self-respecting men would be ashamed
TO have a part in such an pan-handling game as this. 1t is a
disgrace to the government which these election officers
are paid to serve.
The law allows each member of the election board SIS
out of the county treasury for such services as he renders on
election day alone. On what ground, then, do these election
officers ask the public to pay for their dinner or supper in
addition?

N BertOnBraleyS Daily Poem
II

There's only twelve people on earth, so they say.
Who understand Einstein; but that isn't true,
Twelve get him, perhaps, in a relative way"
But full comprehension is given by two;
The deep inner meaning, the secret, the key,
Is known but to Einstein, to Einstein and Me.
BY Einstein's great theory all things are clear;
The tariff, domestic and foreign relations
The weather we get at this time of the year,
But due to the average minds limitations,
The answers are known in their en-tir-et-ee
To no one bat Einstein-but Einstein and Me.
Such questions as, "Why don't the taxes go down.
And "Why do the prices stay stubbornly high?
And where is a flat to be rented in uown?"
And when will America really go dry?"
And Where can 1 get it?" Such questions can be
Solved only by Einstein, by Einstein and Me!
We've settled all problems. we've doped them all out,
In seven dimensions, or maybe it's eight;
When Einstein has found himself somewhat in doubt
He's asked my opinion and I've set him straight;
But what our conclusions are, ever will be
A secret 'twixt Einstein-twixt Einstein and Me!

HassAa ~
OAK PARK, Ill, Nov. 17-There
lies before me, rs 1 write, the book
that changed the religious thinking
of Abraham Lincoln.
1t is The Christians Defense
by James Smith, published in Gin
cinnati in 1S43. l found this book
after a long and systematic search
through secondhand shops and the
attics of libraries colleges and theo-
logical schools from New England
to Mississippi.
The story connected with this
book had its start back in 1850,
when Edwin Baker Lincoln, second
o of Abraham and Mary Lincoln,
died at Springfield, III.
Lincoln Reads the Book
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. James Smith, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in the alb
sence of Rev. Charles Dresser, of
the Episcopal church, of which Mrs.
Lincoln was a member.
Shortly after. LINCOLN, visiting in
Lexington, KY, picked up a thick
lea~ther-bound volume called "The
Christians Defense" He noted that
it was written by the Springfield
minister who had so recently come
into his home.
On his return to Springfield Lin
coin borrowed a copy of the book
from the author, and became deep
ly interested in it,.
1t was the outgrowth of a relig
ious debate between Rev. Smith and
an infidel named Olmstead, at Co.
lumbus, Miss. DR.. Smith was a
Seotchman who had been a deist.
When he was challenged to this de-
bate he took IS months to prepare
for 1t.
Arguments Unanswerable
He quoted from Volney's ruins"
and Paine's age of Reason" and
showed himself thoroughly familiar

BANKS PROTECT COMMUNITY

Never were banks daing a greater
service to the community than dur
ing this era of lawlessness when
robberies of all kinds are prevalent.
The less money a person carries
with him or keeps in his house, the
better. Petty stealing, burglary and
robbery are among the most despic-
able crimes, and are usually com
mitted, not by the people who are
hard up, in the sense of being out
OF employment or funds, but by pro-
tesslonal crooks who prey off the
industry of others
Altogether too much nublic svm
pathy is wasted on this class of
criminals.
Banks are doing more than anv
other industry to run these law
breakers to earth, and at the same.
time offer facilities for protecting
savings and vaIuables from pillage
Modern business could not be
transacted without the checking ac-
count made possible by the modern
bank, Without banking facilities
every business firm and every home,
IN days like these, would have to
have armed guards to protect life
and property.

TYPES OF BABY BEEF cows
Three important Factors Should se
Kept in Mind In Making Seiec-
ton OF Breeders.

In selecting cows from which baby
beef is to be produced. three very i'm.
portant factors should be kept in
mind:
l. The cows should have at least
fair amount Of beef blood. Pure
breds are not necessary. but two or
three crosses Of such breeding is es-
sential. Cows with a preponderance
Of dairy blood will not do for the pro-
duction Of baby beef.
2. Cows best suited for this type Of
breeding usually weigh 900 pounds or
over In thrifty breeding condition. So
long as early maturity Is not sacri.
ficed, the heavier cows are the most
suitable for baby-beef production.
Size Of frame rather than weight
should govern in selecting cows which
are to be used for this purpose.
8. The cows used to produce baby
beeyes should produce enough milk
to keep the calves fat and growing
without much. additional feed up to
weaving time.
In addition to these three factors,
such things as constitution, Uniform
ity Of breeding, color. size and early
maturity should be considered.

the hope OF starting an interest in bet
ter stock and creating demand for
his animals, presented q purebred bull
to the community. Little interest was
taken, and the gift was accepted with
reluctance. The community was made
up Of small farms and there were few
cows.
Following this dairymen's picnic
and exhibition Of live stock was held.
and as result of extension work car
ried on by the dairy division Of the
department in cooperation with Glenn
son Agricultural college more people
became interested and bought cows.
In 1917 a cooperative bull association
was organized, from which developed
live stock show, and the members Of
the association developed keen inter-
est in comparing the dairy animals
they raised.
Another show was held in 1920, at
which prizes, offered by merchants and

disc, and savings accounts were
awarded. One Of the features Of the
show was program Of short talks on
