Aug. 8.-The most terrible case of
animal mutilation in the history
of Faifax county came to light
here today when w. S. Dowden,
local dairy farmer, found one of
his prize Holstein cows with her
entire left hindquarter removed.
One of 80 cows in his herd, the
HolStein had been butchered early
today, Dowden said.
The farmer found a small hole
in the HolStein's head half way
between her horns which he said
might have been caused by a bullet

|VOTELESS CITY
BUSY PLACE At
PRIMARY TIM E
10000 Vote Through
Absentee Bureau

Washington is one Of the bust
est cities in the United States dur
ing the primaries. This, though
District citizens haven't the vote
Each year 10000 persons from
every State cast their votes via
the Democratic Absentee Voters
Bureau. And that doesn't include
Republicans.
Located in the National Press
Building and at 1406 G st. N. W.,
the bureau advises, distributes ap.
plications and keeps, upon request,
a personal history of each voter
for future reference.
PLUM-SEFKERS, TOO
Included in the 10000 are voters
living in other than their native
States who write for information
Government workers, looking for
future political plums, ask that
their names and the persons they
voted for be Kept on file.
Last week, during the Ohio
primaries, 1900 Ohioans passed
through the G Street office in
one day seeking absentee voters
applications.
Every State, Mrs. s. Jennings
ASbury, executive director of the
bureau, said, has different voting
laws. Only 40 permit the absenteeS
to vote via the mails.
NY. DEMANDS PRESENCE
New York insists upon its resi-
dents voting in person except in
the general elections. Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Maryland, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis-
souri, and New Mexico have no alb
Sentee vote.
Due to the fact that there are
primaries in Is States in Septem-
ber and eight in the remaining
days of August, the bureau is espe-
cially busy now.
Some States make their absen-
tees secure their applications by
affidavit while others, including
Georgia, permit their absentees to
make out applications in the bu-
reau. These are then sent to Geor-
gia for check on registrations and
payment of poll tax and mailed
back to the voter who opens the
letter in the presence of a post
office official.
BALLOTS MARKED SECRETLY
The ballot is marked, secretly,
in the presence of the official,
sealed, and returned by registered
mail. If it isn't back in Georgia
by September IA, when the pri-
maries are opened, somebody is
out of luck.
Other States insist on having
the ballot certified before accept
ance. These-and other duties
keep the Democratic Absentee
Voters Bureau busy eight hours a
day six days a week.
