A COMPARISON Warrick County Did ---- Adams County Can $2,924.73 Saved Means $2,914.73 Less TAXES For the People of Adams County to Pay The claim is made that the use of voting machines greatly reduces the expense of conducting elections. As an illustration of the truth of that claim, the relative election expenses of two Indiana counties are here shown: Adams County, which uses Paper Ballots. Warrick County, which uses Voting Machines. The figures on which this statement is based are found on pages 178 to 179 of the report of the Department of Statistics of Indiana of 1915. Adams County Warrick County Using Using Paper Ballots Voting Machines Population 21,840 21,911 Vote cast in November, 1912 4,805 5,059 Expense of Registration and Election.. $5246.20 $2321.47 Average Expense per. Vote $ 1.09 $ .46 The same election cost $2,924.73 more in Adams County than it did in Warrick County. It costs 63c more, per vote, to vote in Adams County than it does in Warrick County. IN OTHER WORDS, IT COSTS ADAMS COUNTY OVER TWICE AS MUCH TO HOLD AN ELECTION AS IT COSTS WARRICK COUNTY TO HOLD THE SAME ELECTION ALTHOUGH IT HAS A SMALLER POPULATION AND CASTS A SMALLER VOTE. And it is all because Warrick County uses Voting Machines and Adams County still conducts its election “by hand.”

Florence’s father, who lives in a small town, owns a two-seated runabout in which Florence and her mamma took many rides. When they went to the city for a visit Florence ■ was in wonderland. Her uncle, who was driving them around in his sevenpassenger machine, turned to her and said: "Your papa has a machine, hasn't he?” and little Florence replied: "He only has the front part of one.” Good Definition.

Queer Jap Pets. Singing insects and reptiles are great pets with the Japanese, and many varieties are caged and trained for the delight of their almond-eyed masters, it being said that Crown Prince Hirohito himself keeps a private stock of kajlka, or singing frogs. The favorite singing insect Is the kantan, a species of locust, which must always be kept in the shade and never sprinkled with water if he is to vocalize. Beware Seif-Depreciation.
