Xo doubt you have noticed your neighbor carryiig home chickens from market with their heads hanging down, and hae you observed hew Meary eyed the chickens were and how the froth ran from their mouths, and no doubt you have thought to yourself that the chickens would object to this if they had any say about the matter. They haven't, but nevertheless the practice will be stopped. The Humane society has and it has determined that hereafter chickens shall not be carried home from market with their heads down. H. A. Pershing, president of the local Humane society has appointed K. W. Holmesley and Officer Abraham Moore as his ag.nts to visit all the markets and ee that chickens are carried home properly.

Political leaders county are urging

the necessity of registering on Tues-J

day, Oct. ?. Inspectors already have been appointed by the county commissioners for the various precincts and the county chairman of the democratic and republican organizations, must select two clerks for each registration poll at least 10 days before Oct. i. With barely a month in which to prepare for this, the chairmen are making out their assignment of lerks. The progressive party will not be represented at the registration polls because, the party has failed to file application thus far. Fixier these circumstances, there will be two democrats at each registration poll, an inspector and a clerk, as the registration law provides for the appointment of the inspector by the county commissioners and a clerk by the chairmnn of the parties casting the second and third highest number of votes at the last general election. Fnless a citizen be registered, he cannot cast a ballot at the November election. Therefore the political leaders are making strenuous efforts to bring out the entire voting population on Oct. 9. There has been considerable talk th. year, occasioned by the change in the registration laws made by the 131." legislature. Fnder the peneral election laws the county clerks are required to preserve all election records for

a period or six momns. -i uie last ; session of the legislature the regis- : tration law was amended, making it unnecessary for any man who had ; not moved out of the precinct in : w hich he had previously voted and registered, to register every year. It ; v-rs at first believed that it would r.ot be necessary for all of the voters to register this year. Hat in 1 practically every county, the elec- ' tion records of the last general elec- . tion, have been destroyed, therefore there; is no record to show : whether or not a dtizen voted at the last election as is required under ; 'he amendment to the registration 'aw. ! County Clerk (Jennie Raab has ex- '; plained the situation. He pointed ! out that although the amendment : vas made during the winter the lawdid not become effective until sometime in June when (lov. Halston isled the proclamation which makes ; all legislation effective. In April, the records for the November election were destroyed, under the provisions , of the general election laws. After the registration on Oct. i i it will not be necessary for a voter to register again unless he moves from the precinct in. which he lives or fails to vote.
