litical parties in Indiana didn't poll a takes a close examination to discover

much larger vote In the recent election than in the 1916 presidential contest. The combined vote of all parties increased more than half a million, due to woman suffrage." Two women, however, led the tickets

of the minor parties Madge

Stephens, for secretary of state, leading the socialists, with 23.404 votes, and Culla J. Vayhinger for IT. S. Senator topping the prohibitionists with 13,323. Francis J. Dillon for senator led the Farmer-Labor party with 3 6,804 votes. The combined vote of

to the official figures compiled by the Secretary of State's office, while in 1916 the minor political parties put a combined vote of 44,939. Women suffrage added more than a half million votes to the total cast in the state, but the exact number of women exercising the right of suffrage is not shown by the official reports. The total vote for all parties In the state was 1.262.C40, or ,r45,775 more than in 1916. Some increase obviously was due to new male voters, but the increase came almost wholly from the women. One in Seven Faild. Failure of one in every seven persons eligible to vote to go to the polls election day is shown by comparative figures, the registration for the state being 1,446,101. In Vanderburgh and Vigd counties, almost one-fourth of the registered electors did not vote, 11.R77 in Venderburgh staying away from the polls and 10,671 in Vigo. Among the minor political parties the Prohibitionists alone received votes In every county of the state. The Socialists did not get a vote in Ohio, Decatur or Washington counties. Proportionately the largest Socialist vote was cast in Greene county, where 1,131 out of the 14.79S votes were cast for the leading Socialist candidate.

The new Farmer-Iahor party got

its biggest vote in Allen. Lake and Venderburgh counties, while the Prohibitionists polled their largest vote in Grant and the smallest number In Terry.

Patton " Indiana in iszi. mis is tne consensus

of farm opinion at this time, subject to change during coming winter months, of course, depending on various factors when spring opens. The fact remains, however, that the only producers who are selling corn, are those who feel that they "must." McClure Talks at Newcastle. Everett McClure. vice president of the Indiana farm federation, was the principal speaker at Newcastle on Wednesday evening. The meeting was in celebration of the windup of the membership drive, which ran all through November, during which the 13 townships in Henry county were canvassed under the direction of U. S. Abs'hire, assisted by Charles A. Simms, a state organization man. It was estimated that the county membership was increased 25 per cent during the drive. Corn Husking Machinery. According to the Fort Wayne Gazette a number of corn husking' machines are in use in Allen county this fall. They were tried out because of the scarcity and high cost of hand labor, and it is said that farmers find them very satisfactory in large fields, where the corn is standing up well. As a rale Allen county farmers pull the huskers with tractors. Liberty Man at Shelbyville. II. A. McMahan. of Liberty, son of IT. F. McMahan, organizer of the first corn clubs in Indiana, and also instrumental in forming the one week short course at Purdue, has been appointed instructor in vocational agriculture in the Shelbyville schools. The young man is a Purdue graduate, and assumed his duties Ht Shelbyville on December 1. Mr. McMahan succeeds E. L.

Austin, who will bp one of the assistant vocational agricultural directors, with headquarters at Purdue.

The farmers of Union1 township, Shelby county, and of Orange township. Rush county, have purchased the elevators at Manilla and Rays Crossing. A coal yard will be added at Manilla. The transfer will be made on January 1. Dalton Meets Wednesday Night. The farmers of Dalton township are anticipating a very interesting address by Maurice Douglass, of Flat Rock, on

likely to be materially decreased inj Wednesday evening. A phone call to

een layior, secreiarj ui in? lunusmp federation, elicited the information that the meeting was if ailed to close up the drive, get-togetlier, have an enjoyable evening, and incidentally to eat a little lunch after vice president Douglas's discourse. He reports that the drive was a fair success and added quite a number of farmers to the membership roster. The meeting will be held at Dalton. Chickens Plenty, Eggs Scarce. "Don't give me away, Mr. Farm Editor," said the ruralist," but I'm

figuring on taking home a few eggs, today, being that I'm getting hungry for them." This seemed a surprising statement, in view of the fact that all

beholders passing that farm home can see more than 300 chickens dotting the "farmscape." As a matter of fact very few farmers are getting eggs enough for home use just now, let alone any for market. And why? Simply because their chickens were not bred for winter layers, first of all, and again because it takes a mixed ration to produce eggs, corn alone not being sufficient for results, especially In off seasons. Some green, feed is vitally important in cold weather, sprouted oats doing as well or better than most vegetable matter available. This explainsthe high prices town folk now have to pay for fresh coun

try eggs in the rural districts, and ; more in proportion in the large cities. Potatoes Now Cheap. ; But if eggs are high potatoes are! low in all the big cities just now. j They are at a pre-war level and then j some, in Chicago today, for example, j at $1.60 to $1.70 for choice northern whites, not per bushel but per 100 pounds. These are wholesale prices, j of course, which allow a fair retail j profit at $1.50 per bushel. Speaking!

of pre-war prices, there are none, so far as potatoes are concerned. Potatoes are always subject to wide fluctuations, depending on the size of the crops from year to year.

Snjf.il That Exhilarates Replaces Cup That Cheers (By Associated Press) BOSTON', Dec. 2. The cup that cheers was replaced by the snuff that exhilerates when the Scots' Charitable society revived an old custom at its annual banquet last night to tako the place of ante-prohibition toasts. Scotch snuff from a eilv'er mounted ram's horn was passed about tie tables. First to take a cautious pinch was Gov. Calvin Coolidge. vice-president elect, who was the chief guest. From him the horn went down the banquet board. Sneezes followed, and handkerchiefs were quite generally displayed. Soon afterward Professor Charl

ton Black of Boston university related an anecdote directed to despondent victims of the- 18th amendment. It was the warning of an old Scotchman to his son against too liberal use of snuff, with the statement that "I've been drunker on sneezum than I ever was on whuskey." The guests sneezed again, and then the speakers had their say.
