Mr.. and Mrs. John O'Mara--a girl
this time. When reporting the same
occurrence last year, the Enterprise
congratulated the parents upon their
nineteenth child and its felicitation

Mrs. O'Mara stated that the num-
Der was exaggerated as she had had
only sixteen or seventeen. If the
number then was reckoned to be, ap-
proximately. sixteen or seventeen, the
last n may be assumed to be the
seventeenth or eighteenth fact
worthy of mention at a time when
race suicide is a live topic.

NO MORE PEDDL|NG
OF SAMPLE BALLOTS
County Clerk States the Forms
Must Be Destroyed Hereafter
FOR Use Of Judges OF
Election Only

There will be no marked sample
ballots printed from the forms used
for the official ballot peddled about
before the general election.
The county clerk makes this state
ment emphatically. Mr.. Rousseau.
who makes up the ballot will see that
both the sample and official ballots
go this time direct from the printer
to the judges of election to be dis
tributed only on election day.
He will also see hat the forms
from which they are printed are de-
stroyed. If any organization wish
es sample ballots they will make up
their own and have new forms set up
at their own expense.
The methods used in the primaries
will not occur again since the mail.
ing out of duplicates of the official
ballot before the election in the inter
ests of certain candidates is too mani
testify unfair to the others to need
comment
In reply to an inquiry as to whether
this ever had been done before in
that 1t had not, and that IL he were
asked for a copy of the ballot he
made up for the printer he would re-
fuse it
There is considerable expense at
tached to the setting up of the form
for printing the ballots and this ex-
pense is met by the taxpayers al a
whole. SO no organization or particu-
lar set of candidates has any right
to its use.

As SEEN FROM The WATERMELON
AMR@ yohine@ okharf $780,

Sheriff Davis and his friends set
much store by the fact that his home
precinct-20 votes-went for him sol
i'd. We cannot see that this proves
anything except that the Mormons
hang together. l
GGG
When Sheriff Davis went into office
he was right-handed. Now, we hear
that he is becoming a southpaw from
searching ears with his left hand.
But since there is no further question
as to the esteem and affection in
which he is held in Park County, as
shown by his majority of 109. votes
over the combined votes of his oppo-
nents in the recent primaries, we can
not see why trembling Charlie
should any longer be afraid to take
chances.

The subject of prohibition appears
to be an ~obsession with the reform
ers who attempt to inject it into ev-
cry situation whether 1t be a school
election or a gubernatorial contest.
Prohibition was not an issue in the
recent primaries, yet W. L. Wade,
head of the Anti-Saloon League IN
Wyoming, horned in with a prepos-
ferrous last minute telegram to infiu-
ence the Powell voters, the substance
of which was as follows:
Hay. if elected, will annul all pro-
hibition machinery" .

cafes where people sat at little tables

The cry had done her good. she

had Violet been more catty than she
herself? How silly to be jealous.
She, Polly, had probably seemed
prudish and bride-ish and small

Vio's part to pique her. Perhaps
she had meant no HARM.

FARMER ENDS
LIFE WITH GUN


Binford, N. D., April 5.-The body
Of Norman McCulloch, 80, farmer
of near Jessie, was found in an old
dance pavilion a half mile from his
home. Both hands still clutched an
automatic shotgun, whose contents of
five shells had completely blown off
the top of his head. He had accom-
plished his selfdestruction by attach
ing a string to the trigger and ex-
tending a loop to his foot. The empty
shells indicated that continued de-
preston of the trigger had caused the
five shells tt discharge in a stream.
He had arisen about 2 am. and
left his home, but as he had acted in
this way before his wife felt no alarm
until he failed to appear at dawn.
He had been in i'll health for several
years and had sought relief at several
sanitariums. 1t is stated that while
he had obtained some relief, he at
times gave evidence of mental de-
rangement, which, coupled with de-
spondency over his condition, is be-
lieved to have caused his act.
The wife, brother and other rela-
tives survive.
