Second Registration Day Fdlls On Monday Oetober 9th, The Final : - Opportunity .

Every qualified voter should register. The -casting of. a ballot is doubly important this year on account of the issues which have arisen.

"The campaign in the state will open in a few days and the orators of both parties will present their views, but the average citgizen who reads with understanding will reach a decision for himself and cast his ballot accordingly. j ' ;

The following points regarding the Indiana registration laws, which were changed in some particulars at the last session of the state legislature are of general interest.

Every person who will be a legal voter at the general: election to be held Tuesday November 7 may register even he or she may not be & legal voter at the time of the registration. A legal voter is a person who is 21 years of age a citizen of the United States, who has resided 30 days in the precinct, 60 days in the township six months in the state, and one year in the United States on the day of the election and who has properly registered. : Aa

A person may register in the following manner: By going personally on the registration day to the registration place, and there make and sign an application for registration; an application -made and signed by a voter and acknowledged either before a notary public' or signed and executed in the presence of two voters o fthe precinet,who must sign the application, which = application must then be delivered by a voter of the wprecinct to the ' registration board; by making an application in the manner stated and mailing it to the auditor of the county before October 9, 1922. ' ' :

Sessions o fthe registration board will be held in each of the precincts of Noble county on September 9 and on October 9, 1922. i

| The registration places will be open from 8 a'm. to 9 p.m. - ° ‘Women - should ' sign theéir own names and not the names of their husbands. * - S

The application must be signed by the applicant in his own handwriting. If signature is made by mark a witness must witness the signature. The registration this fall will be permanent. After this year a voter need not re-register unless he moves. from the precinct or if a woman ‘is married, or if the name of a person is changed in some proceeding;:

Bach member of the registration board is a police officer and has a right to make an arrest in case of interference with- the work .of the hoard. .’ ) L :

Imprisonment of one to five years is provided for signing the name of another. person to the application,’ excepting in cases where a person signs by mark. ° o Lol - Registration subsequent to 1922 will be only for the purpose of registering the 'names of persons who moved into the precinct since the preceeding election; or who have arrived at the age of 21 years or who may have married or whose names have been changed in some proceeding. -

" Be sure to register in the right precinct .. It will save trouble and annoyance on the day of election., If a person registers in the wrong precinct by mistake on the day of election such person may obtain a statement from the election board in theﬁprecinct where such person is incorrectly registered; take this statement, signed by the election board to the precinet in which such ' person ‘regides, and have his or her name entered on the registration books. o : - Many Tonsils Fall. = )

The Noble county council in session at Albion Tuesday fixed the county tax levy for next year at 27 cents o nthe §sloo valuation of taxable property, an increase of two cents over the last levy made. - The increase in the rate is attributed to the falling off in the appraisement of $1,600,000 of taxables in the county under last year. " The’ levy is apportioned according to the budget as follows: 11.4 cents for county revenue; 10.6 cents for retiring road bonds and coupons and 5 cents for the repair and maintenance of gravel roads.

~_An elector may sign an application ‘before a notary -and permit the notary or some other person to deliver fthe application to the registration board on one of the registration days.

KEEHN BUY 3 BLOCK , INCHGIGO Y

Takes Lease On Valuable Ground For ~ Perlod of Over Nliiety-Nine s e : The Economist, a financal paper published in Chicago has the followconcerning the purchase of valuable business property in that city. The article reads as follows: b

- Roy D. Keehn attorney and personal representative in Chicago of William Randolph Heast, has leased from G. B. Cooke, the land at the northwest corner of North Michigan boulevard and East 'Soutt;? Water street fronting 96 feét on the former and 131% feet on the latter thoroughare, for 99 years, four, months and one day from August 31, 1922 at 'an. annual rental of $50,000 for the first ten years and $55,000 for the remainder of the term, with an optien to purchase the fee for $1,100,000. The ‘present improvements, consisting of .a five story structure, were purchas‘ed for $lOO,OOO. John R. Magill & Co. represented the owner as: brokers while the lessee was represented by William O. Trainor.” Frank P. ‘Slosson of John P. Hooker & Co., was associated in the deal. = L - Gossip has been current for the past Tew years that the Hearst inter‘ests. were/ looking about for a location on North Michigan boulevard, but when Mr. Keehn was asked whe‘ther the purchase was made for Mr. ‘Hearst or his interest, he said: “No it is a personal investment. Mr.‘Hearst has no interest in it whatsoever.” The corner acquired is ideal1y located, being directly in line with the northward expansion of central ‘business interests, and yet not SO re‘motely. sitnated as to be difficult of accessibility from down-town. Completion of" the South Water street boulevarding project, which is now ‘merely a matter of time, will place the property at the junction of the two most important throughfares in Ohica.go.. : : s -~ 2

The average annual rental for the corner leased is $54,495 which capitalized on a 4 per cent basis, represents a leasing value of $1,362,375. This is at the rate of $14,191 a .foot for the Michigan boulevard frontage and $10,360 a foot for the South Water street frontage, or $107.92 .a square foot. Mr. oCoke purchased ‘the property in 1912 for $512,500 and ‘some three years latter .gxpended in \exxcess of +5200,00 in the present improvement, ~This was prior to the time o fthe widening of Michigan avenue and before the development of North Michigan boulevard. ' . The building purchased was known as the. Pioneer Building. Hereafter it will be known as the Keehn Building. Mr. Keehn contemplates making moderate changes and additions to the building. The ‘lease provides for the construction of a very attractive office building on the. land within ten years.
