KNOW YOUR
EL.ECTIONLA

With the General Election on
November 8 not too far away,
it might be well to call attention
to the fact that the election laws
of Ohio make provision for quail
fled voters who cannot travel to
the voting booth in their precinct
because of illness or physical
disability and for qualified vot-
ers who will be unavoidably
absent from their county and
more than 10 miles from their
voting precinct on Election Day
to vote by Absent Voters Bal
lot. The Absent Voters Ballot
may be voted either in person
or by mail.
To vote in person you should
go to the office of your county
Board of Elections between Oct.
8 and 4 D. m. on November 3.
To vote by mail, you should
write your county board of cleo
tions for either the absent vot-
ers' form or the disabled voters
form on which to apply for your
ballots. Fill out this application,
sign it in the presence of a Not
ary Public or other person auth
orized to administer an oath and
return it to the Board of Elec-
tions between October 9 and 4
o. m. of November 3. If you are
outside the continental limits of
the United States, you may re-
turn your application between
September 8 and 4 p. m. of Nov
3. The application form for bal
lots of a voter who is physically
disabled contains space in which
the voters physician must GER
tify that the voter is physically
disabled and the reasons there
for.
When your ballots arrive,
mark them without permitting
anyone to see the markings;
fold them, place them in the
identification envelope and seal
the envelope. You should then
take the envelope to a Notary
Public, or other person authoriZ-
ed to administer an oath, and
fill in the information requested
on the outside of the envelope,
and sign it in the presence of
such person. The Identification
envelope shall then be placed in
the return envelope and mailed
or delivered in person by the
voter in time to reach the Board
of Elections by IL o'clock noon
of Friday, November 4. If it ar
rives later, the law requires that
the ballots shall not be counted.

Sales Tax Receipts
Show Big Increase

Sales tax collections of $4,-
1868 from the sale of prepaid
tax receipts for the week end
ing September 3, 1855, were 209
per cent higher than collections
Of S3,G18,287 for the correspond
ing week last var, State Treas
urer Roger w. Tracy disclosed
today.
This is the largest weekly coll
lection reported to date in the
current fiscal year. The actual
increase amounted to $758,611.
This picture is also true in
Noble county, where receipts for
this week amounted to $3,045.51,
compared to $2,751.86 for the
same time in 1854. Total collect
ed to date in this county amounts
to 5,038.65 as compared to
$40, 1868 for 1854.
The cumulative grand total
revenues from prepaid tax re-
ceipts, use tax and other collec-
tions since last July l, when the
current fiscal year begin
amounted to $38,441, 800 on Sep
tenber 3, 1855.
This figure may be compared
with the overall collections OF
$32,117,477 registered on Septem-
Der 4, 1854.

Good General
Economic Situation
Benefits Farmers

Farm incomes continue to
drop although the general busi-
ness picture is good, according to
Riley S. Dougan, extension farm
economist at Ohio State Univer-
sity. In statement prepared for
the September issue of Timely
Economic Information, publish
ed by OSU's Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, Dougan says realiz-
ed net farm incomes for the first
half of this year were down 8
percent from the same period
in 1854. This, he stresses, is not
per farm" but for all agricul-
ture.
The parity ratio dropped from
90.5 in the first six months of
1854 to 86.5 average for the
same period this year. Farm
prices have dropped "a percent
since reaching a peak in 1851.
During the same period, Dougan
points out, non-farm prices have
dropped less than 2 percent.
Actually, he says, some small
non-farm price increases are
likely in 1856, but the economist
sees little or no encouragement
for farm prices over the next
year. Price changes will vary by
commodities, Dougan predicts.
He thinks some producers may
be better off, others not so well.
The specialist sees the strong
position of the general economy
as a good thing for agriculture.
He points out that it furnishes
better market for farm goods
than it would otherwise. This
very likely has prevented farm
prices from going down even
more rapidly.

Election Law Change
Noted In Write-In Vote

According to the Amended
Senate Bill Number 220 passed
by the last session of the Ohio
General Assembly, the following
change has been made in voting
laws.
The amended section is as fol-
lows: TN marking any ballot on
which a blank space has been
provided, wherein, an elector
may write in the name of a per-
son for whom he desires to vote,
the elector shall write such per-
sons name in such blank space
and on no other place on the
ballot. Unless specific provision
is made by statue, no blank space
shall be provided on a ballot for
write-in votes, and any names
written on a ballot other than a
blank space provided therefor
shall not be counted or record
ed"
The above change will not be-
come effective until January /,
1856, Clerk Richcreek pointed
out today. The change does not
apply to the forthcoming Nov. 8
election.

Hot Weather
Kills MQny Fish

More farm ponds will suffer
a fish kill if the recent heat
wave is repeated, says r. K.
Davis, Ohio State University
extension Wildlife specialist.
A number of fish kills were
reported to Davis during the
last period of 80 degree weather.
He says these fatalities are
caused by a shortage of dis
solved oxygen in the pond and
are usually associated with
heavy groWths of microscopic
algae in warm, fertile waters.
Heavy blooms of these plants
burn up the oxygen in the water
during the hours of darkness, or
on cloudy days, occasionally
causing the fish to suffocate.
To avoid this, Davis advises
pond owners against excessive
use Of fertilizer, especially dur
ing hot weather. Fertilization
which is started in April at
proper rates seldom needs to be
repeated during the dog days of
July and August. Drawing water
levels down below 6 feet in the
deepest areas also favors oxygen
shortages.
Davis adds that when the fish
start to die little can be done to
save them but it may help to
stir the water, to circulate il
through a pump and spray il
back on the pond, or to add
fresh water.

Growth of the credit union
has been rapid in recent years.
Assets were doubled in just two
years, from the $1,000,00O total
reached in 1858 to the present
all-time high.
William c. Duff, manager and
secretary-treasurer, reports that
more than 5000 of Ohio FUELS
1888 employees - or 844 per-
cent are now credit union
members.
The Gas Company Employees
Credit Union had It's meager
beginning on April 5, 1885.
Seven men each contributed $40
to make the first deposit of $40.
They had agreed that through
credit union money could be
saved and borrowings made on
reasonable terms.
The idea soon appealed to
many more Ohio Fuel employees.
By the end of the first year of
operation, credit union member
ship totaled 942 with saving de-
posits of $19,857.25.
During that first 12-month
period, the credit union made
391 loans, totaling $29,08475 and
attained total assets of $21, ,323.24.
Today, loans made to credit
union members total over $780,
90 a month.
Growth of the credit union
has far exceeded expectations.
Owned and operated by en-
ployees of Ohio Fuel, the credit
union is guided by seven direc-
tors. A credit committee ap-
proves all loans, and an audit
committee checks the organiza-
tion's records. Forty field rep
resentatives handle affairs on
local basis in the several Ohio
Fuel operational districts.

Makes BeIaied Payment
For Soda Spoon" Which

Every once-in-a-while little
incident occurs which tends to
strengthen ones opinion of this
hard old world.
Below is a letter which was
mailed to the Greyhound Bus
Terminal, Caldwell, Ohio. 1t
comes from small town in
Arizona where there evidently
lives a former resident of this
community who appears to be
somewhat more self-conscious
than the ordinary individual.
Dear Sir
AS teen-ager, we used to
come in often for sodas and
such. Upon one of these visits
/ took with me an ice cream
spoon. Since l no longer
have the spoon, but would
like to redeem myself, /
wish to pay for it. l do hope
so cents will cover it. Hop
ing you accept my apologies.

Eletiric Lights Mean
More Winter Euus

Electric lights in poultry
houses, when properly installed
and used, can increase fall and
winter egg production by as
much as 20 to 30 percent under
good management conditions,
according to extension poultry
specialists at Ohio State Uni
versity. Since the price of eggs
normally goes up during this
period, this extra production is
important to a profitable egg
business.
The specialists recommend:
The Lighting system should be
used every day, beginning some
time between September l and
10 and continuing until some
time between April and IS.
II lights are used irregularly,
the hens may moult and inter
rupt egg production.
Daylight should be supple
mented by electric light to pro
vide from IL to IA hours of light
daily.

give extra hours of light before
sunrise or after sunset, or some
what DINNER lights - Just
enough for the hens to see their
feed and water - may be burn
ed all night. If evening lighting
is used, the lights should be dim
med for a few minutes before
they are turned off for the night
so the hens can find their way
to the perches.
At least 60-Watt incandescent
lamps Cor fluorescent lamps of
equal light output should be
used for morning or evening
lighting. For all-night lighting,
15-to-25-Watt lamps are suffici-
ent. One lamp will provide en-
ough light for each 200 square
feet of floor space. Direct light
should be distributed evenly
over the feeding area, with some
direct light on perches to bring
the hens off the roost.
A 12-inch shalloW-dome reflec-
tor or a lamp with built-in re
flector will provide better light
distribution. Reflectors must be
kept clean to be effective.

a great amount of information.
1t not only gives information
about the soil type found on the
farm, but it also gives informa-
ton about texture, slope, erosion,
and natural drainage conditions.
A number of farmers have
saved themselves considerable
money by using their soil maps
in developing a tile drainage
system for their farm. Tile depth
and spacing should vary with the
soil type. Some soils should be
tiled every so feet, while others
will drain satisfactorily at 66
feet or even more.
Farmers desiring to develop
sound soil and water conserving
plans for their farms may con-
tact the local office Of the u. S.
Soil Conservation Service at
Caldwell.
The above statements were re-
leased today by Frank Calvin,
Soil ConserVationist from this
district.
On many locations, farmers
must study their soils before
they attempt to construct a farm
pond. Some soils have sand
pockets or are underlaid with
porous rock, which will let the
water drain away after the
pond is constructed.
Soils vary in their availability
of plant nutrients, as well as
their farms is helping hundreds
of farmers to better determine
the crops best adapted to their
land. They are also able to deter
mine the probable results of lime
or fertilizers to be applied to
the land.

Dear Sir:
l have been informed that you
are refusing to print future
BIBLE INFORMATION columns
in your paper. This is not too
surprising to me, for, even
though we are supposed to have
complete freedom of expression
in this country, yet, l know that
some in high places will not
permit such freedom, if they
can help it, because of the
religious prejudice which they
entertain.
One of my reasons for writing
this is to state that if any point
in any of the articles which I
submitted to you for publication
can be proved to be false, I shall
gladly print a retraction of that
point in your paper at my own
expense.
Another reason I write to you
is to say that I know that there
was nothing unprintable in any
of the articles, for, the very
article you "butchered' was
published in full in another
paper in this state with a larger
circulation than the JOURNAL.
If anything l have written can
be shown to be false, it needs to
be retracted. However, if it is
right, why not print the truth?
In closing, let me say, that if
this is your final decision in the
matter, and if you will not re-
consider, we shall have to LET
the people of your community
know in some way why the
BIBLE INFORMATION column
cannot any longer appear in
their local paper. My dear Sir,
this is not threat, but, it is a
promise!
Yours for truth and right,

Milk Production
II Percent Hiqher

Ohio's milk production rose IL
per cent III the past ten years
even Though the milk cow
population decreased Is per
cent during the same period, F.
G. Richards, Ohio representative
of the American Can Company,
reported today.
Improved feeding and dairying
methods bringing about greater
productivity per COW were
advanced by Richards as one of
the major reasons for the in
creased output.
The 5.8 billion pounds of milk
produced on Ohio farms in 1854
helped set an all-time national
record of 1885 billion pounds,
said the official of the can COM
pany which annually produces
hundreds of millions of paper
milk containers. Ohio farmers
shared in milk receipts totaling
about 1927 million, he added.
This national record, Rich
ards said, was produced by
twelve per cent fewer milk
cows than were on Americas
farms in 1914, when the cow
population was at a record total
of 25.6 million cows. However,
Richards pointed out, the 22.4
million COWS in 1854 produced
an average of 5,512 pounds Of
milk each, almost a thousand
pounds more than the 1914 COWS.

From Paterson, N. j., via The

news story:
For the last few weeks the
station wagon used by the Pas
sale County Sheriff's office to
transport prisoners has been
stalling.
Mechanics found in the
(gasoline) tank: some marbles,
candy mints, soap, paper, steel

Sheriff Norman E.

out for a gasoline cap with a
lock on it."
While our government hasn't

have been times when it has
sputtered and coughed pretty
ominously.
/ wonder if the addition, to its
basic task, of such foreign SUBJ
stances as. social security, farm
crop price support, subsidized
housing, and the promotion of
labor union monopoly hasn't had
something to do with its erratic
performance and expensive up
keep during the past two de-

Maybe it's time to start look
ing for a constitutional cap with
