The presidents'expected to sign the bill promptly and through vigorous enforcements of its provisions (Officials of .the department of justice say they will be able to do much toward checking the wave of mob outbreaks for which unpunished disloyalty and enemy activities are blamed.

Penalties of twenty years' imprisonment or a fine of $10,000 or both, are provided in the bill for those convicted of uttering or printing disloyal, abusive, profane, scurrilous, contemptuous language about the United States or the government, or the form of government, or the flag and for those who are convicted of favoring Germany or her allies in the present war.

Penalties under the bill would' apply to those who make false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States or to promote the success of its enemies or iay ct do anything with intent to obstruct the salo of government securities during the war. They would apply to those who attempt to Incite insubordination or mutiny or refusal of duty in the military or naval forces or Tetard recruiting, or to those who speak, write or publish abusive language against the uniform of the soldier or sailor or the flag or the constitution.

Light Vote In Primary.

By Special Correspondent. BRAZIL. Ind., May 8.—A light vote was polled throughout the county Tuesday in the primary election. The vote was especially light in the rural districts where the farmers are busy plowing an 1 planting corn. Rain Monday night was not heavy enough f¥ stop the farmers from working.

In this city the vote Tuesday morning was not as heavy as usual and it is believed that the total vote will fail far short of that of two years ago. The candidates have had a great deal of trouble In stirring up interest in the primary election but a four cornered race for the republican nomination for trustee of Brazil township was expected to bring out a fairly heavy republican vote in this city.

The race for judge on both the democratic and republican tickets excited the most interest. C. G. Socfleld, S. W. Lee and B. C. Craig were the democratic candidates, and T. W. Hutchison and A. G. Miller were the republican candidates.

The War Saving stamp committees were hard at work Tuesday In connection with the election. Women workers were at every polling place in the city, and insisted on every voter purchasing a War Stamp before he was permitted to vote. They met with excellent results.

Murphy business block, the Brooks block and the Neal Carr building, all two-story brick structures, on the corner of National avenue and Alabama street, and caused damage' estimated at $5,000.

The cause of the fire is unknown, but the flames fanned by a stiff wind from the south spread rapidly, and the 'ire department was handicapped by the lack of pressure at the start. The Murphy building was badly gutted, and the Brooks and Carr buildings adjoining were also damaged. Most of the damage is covered by insurance.

"Lfest fall the matter of enlarging the vocational school for boys and men was taken up," he said. "We could have bought adjacent property at that time for the purpose. But it was then thought that the Rose Polytechnic institute would have its new buildings within a year and that the vocational school would occupy the old ones. However, for some little time it has looked as if the Rose Polytechnic would remain where it is for several years. For that reason the school board again took up the proposition of the present location of the vocational school and some other minor matters. A committee was appointed to make the necessary investigation or inquiries into the situation and report back to the board.

Prepare for White Elephant Sal*. By Special Correspondent. CLINTON, Ind., May 8.—The women of the Red Cross society are making extensive preparations for the white elephant sale" to be held Saturday, May 18. People are responding liberally, and a large variety of articles have been donated for the event. Among the heaVy donors to the project is Mr. A. Krekler, of Hazel Bluff farm, who gives a fine driving mare. The offering is a fine animal, and will tempt some spirited bidding. There are other liberal donors, and when the crier takes the platform many desirable articles will be offered the bidders. If is anticipated the event will be characterized by many amusing incidents, and much enjoyment, as well as cash. Parties who have a pig, or some chickens, old furniture, bed clothing or in fact any article for which they have no use, are urged to give them over to the women, they will be patriotic offerings, and the donors will be aiding in "getting the goat" of the kaiser. Parties having donations should report them at once to Mrs. J. W. Robb, president of the society.

Primary Aroused Little Interest. Ey Special Correspondent. CLINTON, Ind., May 8.—There was little interest shown In the primary election Tuesday, save that displayed by the candidates. In fact, it was next to impossible to secure men for the places on the election boards and it was ten o'clock before all the voting places were open and ready to receive the voters. The precincts in the country, especially about the mining towns took more interest in the selection of the tickets than the voters of the city, and therefore a larger per cent of the vote was beyond the town limits, ®he contests for prosecutor and sheriff on the republican ticket were bitter and much bitter feeling was engendered which will linger and have its effect at the fall election. While the race for places for sheriff, prosecutor and representative on the democratic tickets, were spirited, there was no outbreak of bad feeling and it is assured the defeated candidates will be among the enthusiastic supporters of the ticket.

Spreader Pays Big Profits

A good spreader more than paid its way corn was 50c and wheat $1.00 a bushel. Now it pays big profits. Corn belt farmers, using Low Cloverleaf spreaders, harvest as much as 32 bushels more of corn off properly manured acres than off those not treated with the spreader. Best of all,' no more power or help is required to produce the increase. The spreader actually saves power, labor and time while increasing the yield from every acre on which it is properly used.

The Low Cloverleaf Manure Spreader

The Low Cloverleaf is a wide spreading, easy running, light draft, narrow box spreader, made in three handy sizes —small, medium and large. The wide spreading device catches the manure as it comes from the beater, breaks it up into still finer particles, and throws it Out beyond the wheel tracks in a wide, even spread. This is the kind of fertilizing recommended bv all the authorities.

The entire load is spread in 3 to 5 minutes. The machine runs easily and lasts a long time because the working parts are all securely fastened to a sturdy steel frame which keeps them all in place and in line.

The Low Cloverleaf spreader is backed by International Harvester reputation for quality machines. It does the work as it should be done. This year of all years you should have a good manure spreader and you will profit most by using a Low Cloverleaf. immediate delivery. Place your order now.
