HOW TO PREPARE THE BALLOT
FOR VOTING:

After voter has obtained ballot he
or she shall indicate his or her choice of
candidates by marking the ballot with
black or indelible pencil or black crayon.
This is to be done as follows: When an
elector desires to vote straight ticket,
that is to vote for all the candidates of a
party appearing in the party column on
the ballot, he or she shal place cross
mark or "X" within the square at the head
of the party column containing the names
of such candidates. In the event that an
elector does not desire to vote for all of
the candidates whose names appear in
any party column, he or she shall place
cross mark or "X' in the square at the left
of the name of the candidate for whom it
is desired to vote, and he or she may also
scratch out the name of the candidate for
whom he or she does not desire to vote.
IF the elector shall place on the ballot
a cross mark or "X" within the square
containing party designation at the head
of the column, he or she shall be deemed
to have voted or all the candidates whose
names appear in the column under such
mark, unless some name or names shall be
erased or unless in some other column a
"X' mark shall have been placed in the
square at the left of the name of some
other candidate for the same Office.
When the voter shall have mark
against two or more names for the same
office, the voter shall be deemed to have
voted for none of them, and the ballot
shall not be counted for either candidate,
but shall be counted for such other candi-
dates as it is the evident intention of the
voter to vote for.
If any name be written on any ballot
the ballot shall be void and not counted.
When the elector shall have made
mark in the square at the left of the name
of person in the proper place. the elector
shall be deemed to have voted for that
person, although said elector shall have
omitted to erase or scratch out the name
printed in any other column for the same
Office.
A ballot put in without any mark
shall not be counted, and ballot not
marked at the top shall be counted only
for the person for whom the marks there
on are applicable.

Honest Advertising IA Success Story

DACK IN 1852, The Star carried fve-and-
ID one-half columns of paid notices set one
column wide in small type
Some made outrageous claims for curing
incurable diseases. They were forerunners of
50-year period when quacks, crooks and
financial schemers strobe boldly and uncen-
sored alongside legitimate advertisers.
Editors unashamedly wrote news "puffs"
recommending advertisers products In the
l8s0's, advertising agencies had almost unre-
Stricted control of ad writing, some of it
shocking to the sensibilities. Agencies were
known even to buy into patent medicine COM
panies whose accounts they handled.
New Era of Ethics Begins.
As ads grew in size and volume and reader
ship. The Star grew aware that its response
bility to the public was just as great in the
advertising columns as in its news stories.
new era Of ethics began.
BY 1895 the paper could print that it had
sacrificed many thousands of dollars" by
refusing to carry bankrupt and fire ads of
hy-by-night merchants.
That was the period, too when the man
agement drew sharp line between news and
advertising matter. No longer were ad blurbs
run under deceptive headings like "City Items"
Tied in with the cleanup trend was The
Stars determination to make the small mer-
chant ad conscious and to assist him in pre-
pairing his advertising copy This was accom-
plished by The Star Ad Bureau organized in
1894 and continued until the advertising agency
business attained its present high standards
In 1902 the paper could say it carried more
small ads and washington had more success
ful small merchants than any city in the
United States" The Star was teaching mer-
chants that proper advertising was the worlds
best trade builder.

Frank F. Rogers. They worked under Business
Manager J. Whit Heron, whose son, Le Roy

The campaign for honest advertising took
new turn in 1912 when the late Fleming New

tising columns
Agriculture Department Helps.
The Star asked DR.. Lyman r. Kebler Of the
Agriculture Department to pass on the claims
made in medicine ads. It tossed out columns
Of questionable loan and finance company ads.
It required merchants advertising fire or
bankrupt sales to stipulate the number of
days the sale would run. II 1t ran over that
time, the advertiser was dropped and, In later
years. the Better Business Bureau notified.
Thus was established The Stars present.

by every member Of the family.
Because he now buys 50 per cent Of the
space, the small advertiser has given The Star
an independence known by few other papers
OF 1,049 Star retail display accounts carried
in 1851, 844 were the year-after-year minimum
contracts of 1000 lines or more.
Last year The Star carried 4O,Us2712 lines
of advertising, nth nationally and 15,582,712
lines more than any other Washington paper.
The total would have been greater had the
paper competed for 2289,836 lines Of hard
liquor advertising carried by other Washington
papers. But The Star discontinued liquor
advertising in 1916. Even without 1t, the paper
led the Nation in advertising lineage for II
years until the wartime newsprint shortage.
1t has been many years since the lesson
was learned that honest, clean advertising
benefits everybody-the public, the merchant
and the newspaper.

dead today in a coal shaft explo-

tons of water, trapping them 438

mine near Pottsville last night

unexpectedly, apparently breaking
through to an adjoining abandon

Two ofthe seven men working
in the shaft ran for their lives
and escaped death. They told mine
inspectors that theother five had
no chance Of escaping the flood,

In that American Association in
cumbency he pulled his club to a
first and two seconds. He has the
makings, if he can have a little
good luck and the Yankees finally
run their string of good fortune
to its tattered and frayed finish.
They say no champion can go on
forever, and one ever has, and
this may be as good a time as any
for the Yanks to blow. They can
not be figured to shape up as
strong as in the past.
Where else will any contention
come from? The White Sox and
Red Sox and Tigers?
Not in the experts so-called
books. They simply look like the
clubs hat will help fill up the
first division.
This will truly be a bewildering
American League race, with no
club rated as a real stickout, but
with two seemingly the ones the
rest must beat.
The Yanks are in a peculiar posi-
ton. If they win again it would
not be surprising. If they finish
down the list it would not cause
any great stir either. They are
that kind of a club, with DiMaggio
gone, other aging and. still others
not quite fitted into the picture.
