VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May
6-Four ships have been chartered here
to carry 1900 900 bushels of Canadian
wheat to Vladivostok and negotiations
to charter a fifth are under way, 1t was
announced yesterday. Payment will be
made in Canadian funds before the
ships sail.
A shortage of wheat in Western
Siberia despite good stores in Eastern
Russia was said here to have prompted
the Soviet government to purchase
Canadian grain. The expense and
difficulty of shipping wheat over the
long single line of the Trans-Siberian
Railways were said to be greater than
the cost at $3.50 a ton OF shipping
wheat from here.
Wheat in Eastern Russia, which Is
being sold to the United Kingdom and
other European countries, will aid In
paying for the Canadian grain.
Children at Bickington School near

ordered to remain at home until 1t

thirds men and one-third women,
to give proportionate representa-
ton to both sexes.
With these quotas determined,
an original mailing list was
compiled, embracing more than
3,500,0O0 names, the list for each
county being in accordance with
the quota assigned for that
county. This controlled distribu-
ton of names inSureS the proper
representation of the rural areas
and prevents the over-emphasis OF
the congested city populations in
the returns.
Use Telephone Lists
This mailing list was compiled
primarily from current issues OF
telephone subscriber lists. Through
the cooperation of the Bell Tele-
phone system and its subsidiary
operating units, and numerous
independent telephone companies,
phone directories were assembled
at the Hearst newspapers ma
tional poll headquarters here
from approximately 95 per cent
of the individual counties, repre-
senting more than SO per cent
of the country's voting strength.
Mailing of post card ballots 10
the millions of names assembled
from these directories began as
soon as the post cards could be
printed and addressed following
the presidential nominating con-
ventionS.
These cards are going out at
the rate of up to $4,000 day
with a complete blanketing OF
each State twice a week. Day
and night staffs of typists and
mail clerks, working two eight
hour shifts, have been getting
these cards into the mail for the
last three weeks.
Poll Nearly Complete
AS the cards are received by
the voters and filled out by them,
they are being remailed to the
Hearst newspaper serving the ter
ritory in which the voter resides,
and in turn are forwarded from
these 18 cities, reaching from
coast to coast, to the poll head
quarters here for tabulation and
consolidation into national
summary.
1t is that phase of the project
that is now in progress, prelimi-
nary to giving the people of the
country the first indication of
what may be expected to take
place at the polls on November
8, Already figures have been as
sembled for 40 States, and the
assembling and analyzing of the
cards for the other eight is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
Persons who have received bal
lot cards are urged to fill them
out and mail them promptly to
the Hearst newspaper in their
territory. The cards are self ad-
dressed to the newspaper to which
they should go and require no

paid by the paper,
