FARMERS WORKING
LATE IN FIELDS

Planters in Wayne and Preble count
les are clicking busily this week, in
the effort to catch up with the late
spring work and get corn into the
ground near schedule time in spite OF
the long-continued and unfavorable
wet weather.
Much blowing yet remains to be fin
ished, but horses and tractors are
working at full time, tractors in fact
working overtime. many farmers
equipping with lamps and running in
to the night, or at least from daylight
until dark. With such efforts, it is
predicted that the spring work cam.
paign while considerably later than US
ual will be finished soon.
A reflection of the pressure of the
spring work is seen in the deserted
streets of towns and villages. during
the evenings and even on Saturdays
the customary market day of the farm
population. Occupied with farm work
all day and chores in the evening, only
few minutes are spared to run in
for necessary supplies at the end o.
the day.

DOUBT THAT MR.. WILSON
CAN VOTE IN STATE

TRENTON, Oct. 2O-Under the
construction of the state election
law as interpreted by the Mercer

may be denied the right to vote in
this state at the coming election.
The statute in question. as decfde1
by the county election board, re-
quires actual residence within the
voting district in which residence is
claimed by a voter. The former
chief executive has always voted
from Princeton, having been presi-
dent of the university before he was
elected governor Of New jersey AMI,
subsequently president Of the United
States.
After ex-President Wilson left the
White House, he acquired a home

lowed to vote in their homo states

idents IN the District of Columbia
do not have the privilege of h
franchise unless they are eligible
under the statues Of the various
states.
As the former president has not
lived in Princeton In recent years,
the county board may deny him the
vote. He and Mrs. Wilson hsve un-
til next Tuesday to apply for regis
tration as voters in the university
