' The cost of the primary election March 7 will far exceed the preliminary estimates on which the appropriation of the county council was based, according to County Auditor Bowman. County officials are in the dark to know how much the election will cost and have nothing to base their estimates on. It is believed by the county auditor, however, that the cost of the primary will not exceed $5.000. , Since there are thirteen candidates for county recorder on the Republican ticket, each candidate is entitled to bave his name head the' ticket onethirteenth of the time. This will necessitate the printing of thirteen different forms for ballots. The other offices for which there are so many candidates, will rotate in the thirteen different ballot forms. Estimates have not been made on the cost of the primary because this la the first election of its kind ever held in the state and everything is new to the officials. ' . L. W. Henley, secretary of the Republican state committee, estimates .that with the ticket containing thir- , teen names for one office, such as does the Republican ticket for county recorder, "the cost in Wayne county will be at least $10,000. Mr. Bowman county Republican chairman, believes that this estimate is excessive.. . The great amount of work required in printing the tickets and the tally "sheets is the largest item to be con-sldered.-The county commissioners,' ; . not aware of the details of the primary : law or the fact that so many candidates would announce themselves, f asked the county council for an ap- - propriatioa of $9,000. - This was based on the cost of previous elections which cost the county approximately $8,500. The reglstraUon cost $1,600 and the commissioners believe that the primary , election would not cost more than the general -flection and allowing $500 extra for tally sheets, they placed the estimate

at $9,000 as election expenses in 1916. If the primary election cost is any ways near the estimates as made by the state secretary, all of this appropriation win be used up by the primary election, requiring an additional appropriation of at least $5,000 for the general election. All of the work of printing the ballot, furnishing the election paraphernalia and the expense of counting the votes will fall on the county. The chief cost in Wayne county will be the extra expense of extra time for election clerks, counters and the extra amount of printing tally sheets and ballots resulting from the fact that there are so many candidates for each office on the Republican ticket The county council will not be asked to increase the appropriation before the primary is held.

Helen arid Warren Series;

of Their Married Life

Story

It was an ordinary hotel, room table. Its mahogany top was white ringed - from innumerable pitchers of ice wa-

blotched with ink stains. .."We'll have to move our chairs clot ser," as they drew, around the table. "Laura, you'd better turn out those lights, all but the shaded one on your dresser," . Instructed Miss Perry. "There! Now place the. tips of your '.fingers on the table. We mustn't talk:

".Just be still a few minutes." - K '; Aquiver with interest, Helen watched the five pair of outspread hands. She had often heard of spirit table rapping, yet she could hardly believe that . she was really to see it demonstrated. "' An hour ago they had started for the theatre, but as they could not get " seats, Helen had persuaded Warren to stop in at the old-fashioned downtown hotel where Laura was now living. Though her room was frankly a bedroom, Laura ' bad insisted on their coming up. Two girls. Miss Dale and Miss Perry, from the same moving , picture company were there. They had been having a table, seance, and Helen ' keenly Interested, had begged them to : go on. "The light's still too strong." Miss Perry broke the silence. "We can't do

anything with the room so light. Throw something over it." Laura rose, took a small box lid

from a drawer of the , dresser and

hung- it over the electric bulb.

"That's better. Now we ought to get

some results.

.)- Helen felt Warren nudge her under

the table. She looked at him anxiously, fearing he would flaunt bis. scoffing skepticism, but his eyes were fixed decorously on his outstreached hands.

-" Another long wait in which their

..breathing was the only sound. Then 4 Helen gave a little gasp. She could hardly believe what she saw the table was moving! It was rocking back and forth. -.. "You ask something," Miss Perry turned to Helen. "Ask anything you wish, but put your question bo it can be answered by yes or no." "Oh, let some one else first," faltered Helen. N : "All right, I will," volunteered Miss -Dale. Then slowly as she gazed into "space, "Will I have a chance to go to California this summer?" ' A tense silence, and the table again ' began to rock. Laura whisperingly explained to Helen that a number of rocks or raps meant "yes," while only one meant "no." "You see, I'm going!" exulted Miss

Dale. "Wait, I'll ask another. Will I go with the company I'm with now? .No?" as the table gave on rap. "With some other company?" The table rock;ed violently. "Yes yes, we understand. Gladys Is going West with -another company. Not so violent, please," soothed Miss Perry to the turbulent table." , "That's my guide; she's so strong,' whispered Miss Dale, in answer to Hel-

enS WUUUVl iub . iivn ouiuciiuicB r c can hardly hold the table. We all have our own guides. Can I tell Mrs. Curtis who mine is?" to the table. "Yes?" as it rocked ita consent. Then proudly, "Sarah Siddons!" Helen connected the name vaguely with some great actress, but, fearing to betray her ignorance, . she merely murmured a non-committal, "Oh!" . "I can tell the moment she comes to the table. She's done so much to help me," glowingly. "I never take any step in my work now without consulting

her. Last month she sent me a letter in her own handwriting through a Chicago medium." - "That's interesting," Warren's voice was suspiciously grave. "Isn't it?" eagerly. "I know it's genuine, but I'd just like to compare it with her signature. Where do you suppose I could see one?" ?Atthe Lenox Library," Warren suggested. "They'd .have at least a facsimile of Mrs. Siddon's writing." v "Oh, I never thought of; that .I'll take ifi there tomorrow." ..4.... ., . ' "I f eel a new guide," breathed .Miss Perry. "It's hovering about Mrs. Cur

tis. Is that right?" to the table. "Do you want to speak to Mrs. Curtis?

Yes? Very well. Now do ask some

thing," turning to Helen. .

"Will we be able to go to Europe

this year? ' asked Helen, in an awed

voice. One short knock "No."

"Oh!" disappointedly. "Then will we

go next year?" A succession of knocks "Yes." "Now, Mr. Curtis, it's your turn,' urged Miss Perry. !

Helen feared some cynical moment but Warren asked quite seriously, "Will Mrs. Curtis and I make this trip

together?" The answer was an emphatic "Yes,

"Oh, did you think of taking it with

some one else? laughed Laura.

"Just as well to have the informa

tion while it's on tap."

More questions , were asked and

promptly answered.: Then Warren sug

gested that they try lifting the table from the floor by merely holding their

hands over it not touching it.

"That can be done, but I'm afraid

we're not clairvoyant enough for it

tonight" objected Miss Perry hastily. Still Warren insisted that they try

it. Raising their hands from the ta

ble, they held them a few inches above It. But the table, without even a re

sponsive tremor, remained obstinate

ly on the floor. -

"It's no use," Miss Perry 'nervously protested. "We all have to be very closely enrapt with our guide for that

demonstration. You can understand

that, can't you, Mr. Curtis?" "Perfectly

Laura, shoving back the table now got out a box of ginger wafers which

she laughingly passed as "refresh ments."

They were talking of other things now, of the "movies," of the effect of the war on the picture business. But

Helen, still athrill with the wonder of

table rapping sat absently crumbling

her cracker.

"I've never seen anything of the

kind before, she confided to Miss Dale when they rose to go. "It was

very, very interesting."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. You must come to our room some evening; it's

just across the hall, and it's larger

than Laura s. Sometimes we have Mr.

Martin; he's very clairvoyant. Last week the table almost walked up the

wall." . . ,,

dead easy!" Then to the waiter who. seated them, "One Scotch and split soda and one claret lemonade." -

"Dear, what DO yon-mean?" persist

ed Helen. "You made every one think you believed it!"

"Sure." coolly. "I haloed the game

along. t rocked that old table bard as any- of 'em."

"Rocked? We only touched it with

the tips of our fingers!"

"Huh, that girl who sat by you what's her name? Perry? Well, she waa pushing it to heat the band. Tell that by her elbows. She knew I was

on, all right, but she was gulling the

rest 01 you." "But that Miss Dale, why, her whole heart was in it; any one could see that. She thinks Sarah Siddons' spirit is directing her career." "That Perry girl may be duping her" shrugged Warren. "She's a slick customer." "But why should she? What has she to gain?' "Search me. Maybe they're all fooling themselves, at that But you noticed when they took their hands off the old table didn't budge." . "Yet how . COULD they, move the table with just their finger tips?" . ''Look here, 111 how you." Warren placed his fingers on the cafe table.

"No, the blamed thing's screwed to the floor. Wait till we get home." ' "But Laura she seemed to believe it?" , ;kv-; -: : - "Don't worry; she's not roped in that easy. Those girls are all in the same company. She didn't want to crab their spook party.!' ' ; "Thenvyou mean there's nothing In spiritualism? It's a fake?" "Not so fast That's not what I saidMen like Stead and William James believed in spiritualism; they weren't fakers by a long shot. I said that girl next to you was pushing the table for all she was worth, and I helped her do it. Here, waiter, get me an ash tray." , Thoughtfully Helen stirred the ice in her claret lemonade. What if Miss Dale was being deceived? It was giving her something, to hold to, for she firmly believed that her "guide" was leading her on to success. Surely that was a helpful delusion. ' v "There's more nuts to the square inch in New York," muttered Warren, shoving back his glass. "You stack up against a new crank every minute."

, "But, dear, if they tmnk it's some

thing to hold to something to help them get ahead " , -v . "Rot!. They'd get Ahead adarn sight

quicker if they'd get out and hustle instead of jollying a lot of spooks to boost 'em along. Here drink your lemonade, and let's go.". .
