CHICAGO, April Alright skies
and a modeate temperature drew
out a heavy early vote today in
Chicagos mayoralty race between
Mayor Edward J. Kelly. Democrat,
and Dwight H. Green, his young Re-
publican challenger.
An election board survey indicated
AL ,408 votes had been cast in the
first two hours. surprising by 10000
the vote indicated for the same
period at the primary.
County Judge Edmund K. Jarecki,
head of the election machinery. said
his previous estimate of 100000
votes being cast today might fall
short.
A vote exceeding 100000 would
be new record in Chicago mayoral
contest.
The morning balloting was COM
paratively quiet, with only 40 COM
plants of fraud received during the
first three hours. Most of these
concerned missing supplies.

precinct; precinct captain re-
ported he saw 100 ballots in the box
10 minutes before the poll opened; !;
precinct captain was reported Civ
ing out dollar bills to voters in the
back room of a polling place.
Prepared to interpret the election
in national terms, party leaders
from outside the State awaited the
result as the first sample of how
far the Republicans may expect to
get in the 1910 campaigns for Con-
gress and the presidency.
Another victory for the 62-year-
old incumbent, who has sat behind
the big desk in the mayors office
since 1888, would be regarded by
Illinois as sure sign that the State,
with its 20 electoral votes. will stav
in the Democratic column next wear.

Following the same line of rea-
soning. the men behind Mr.. Green
have pushed vigorous campaign,
hoping by metropolitan victory to
set the stage for recapture of
Illinois in 1910.
Without regard to the size of the
vote, Mayor Kelley's managers pre-
dicted he would win by margin of
3 to 2. He polled GOA, 100 votes in
the primary February %, total

Green and the other two principal
candidates, States Attorney Thomas

AT THE STEVENSON SUNDAY

Mildred Maye's life has been a
series of triumphs and minor TRACE

On the triumph side, this 21O-pound
miss relates her happiest moment as
that when, after repeated tries in
amateur contests in various theatres
she finally won a spot that started
her in the direction of the stage door
Another joyful experience was her
trip to California when she entered
the portals of Movieland and mingled
with the great and near-great of the
flickers.
Miss Maye claims Langley, South
Carolina as her home town which, o.
n1ong other things, accounts for her
talent for the "blues" type of singing
which she Goes so we'll that the title
of "Kate Smiths Only Rival rests

Too often the family cow goes to
the butcher when she "goes dry and
often she goes dry through no fault
c. her own but because the pasture
went dry" and not necessarily the
pasture branch-but the pasture grass
dried up due to the lack of prepare
ton of a variety of grazing plants
The lack of good pastures is one of
the weak spots on many Vance coun-
ty farms. An acre of good land prop
erly prepared and planted to the right
grasses and properly treated there
after is worth as much as any other
acre on the farm. Pasture land
should not be the poorest land on the
farm, but may be the lowlands and
surrounding hillsides which are too
steep for cultivation. The planting
and care of pastures do not involve a
great deal of work or expense. Ample
grazing encourages the keeping of
more livestock on the farm in addi-
! ton to reducing the feed bill for
those already on the farm. More
family cows is a crying need on many
| Vance county farms, but they are
not needed until the pasture is pro-
vided
