Did you ever realize what it costs you as a citizen of Indiana to exercise the right of voting at popular elections such as the primary just passed? You may say it costs nothing but a little time and, of course, the small item of the pay for the election board in your precinct and maybe a little for the superstructure of county boards and state board, etc., which is distributed back to you eventually. That is all very true, but these insignificant items, exclusive of your own time, are estimated to amount to about $300,000 for the state. Complete returns are not available but the number of votes will probably be about 400,000. Hence, it will cost Indiana, as a whole, 75 cents to give you the right to make those X’s with the blue pencil. o—. —.—o Mother’s Day tributes will glowingly be spoken from the pulpits throughout the country on Sunday. The movement met readily with a hearty re- - sponse when started several years ago and it grew until now it is an established institution — one day of the year set aside in acknowledgment of the sublimity of motherhood. The observance of the day is simple. If possible, visit Mother; if she is living at a distance and you can not visit her, write her such a letter as will make her heart warm with pride in you—and wear a flower in respect to Her, and to all Mothers. If she is not living, the flower you wear should be white. . o o You can now bale up those candidates’ cards and sell them to the junk man. He’ll pay you more for cardboard than for your old newspapers. A. MKAKAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*

Beginning July Ist, all government pensions will be paid monthly instead of quarterly. From the number of accidents in this country it looks as if it would be better to put the shock absorbers on the pedestrians instead of the automobiles. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Kelly of Chicago spent a few days here visiting with Mrs Kelly’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Self. They were here to attend the events of the closing of school. A new electric sign that is lending attractiveness to Main street recently been installed and is now in operation in front of Thornburg’s drug store.

In this way a large number of additional receptacles are provided exactly where most desired, no matter how the furniture is

moved. Each piece of furniture' connects by an attachment cord directly to the house wiring by plugging into a baseboard receptacle, and its own more-accessible receptacles are used to connect the appliances by short cords. — WIRE IN STOMACH Waukesha, Wis.—Putting a Holstein bull valued at $5,000 under local and complete anaesthesia and removing a four-inch piece of baling wire which was affecting the animal’s heart and then tapping and taking three quarts of fluid from the animal, was the unusual operation performed by physicians recently.
