Several changes in the election
laws made by the last legislature are
having a tendency to confuse the
county clerks in their preparations
for the election and will probably
cause some confusion at election
time.
County Clerk Hargraves, in order
to be sure of certain points, made In
quiry of Secretary of State Pool and
received a message In reply Monday
morning settling two questions.
TheBe were that sample ballots must
be printed on colored paper and that
It Is not necessary to publish the bal
lot for the primary election In any ot
he local newspapers. j
1'rom Information received from
various counties over the state the
county clerks have different Ideas au
to the meaning of the new laws and
there will be some difference In the
official ballots for these counties. The
new law, however, has a provision
stipulating that In the event the bal
lots are not prepared according to
the new laws either from lack on In
I formation or by mistake, that It will !
; not Invalidate the election so long as
, It does not affect In any way the
! chances of any candidate. 1
DEMOCRATS
At the Nebraska Primaries on
Tuesday, April 18th, 1916 '
you should elect as delegates to the National Democratic Con
vention men who arc known to be for President Wilson "first,
last and all the time."
Charles II. Tully of Alliance is a candidate for dclepate
from the Sixth Congressional District. A vote for Mr. Tully
is a vote for Wilson.
Mark your ballot:

X
One of the new features governing
the election is the change in bourn.
Thepolls will open at 8 o'clock In
the morning and will close at 8
o'clock In the evening. This will un
doubtedly prove a convenience to
many persons but it will also make
the election returns an hour later in
being announced.
Some change was also made In the
pay which election officers shall re
ceive, the new law reading as follows:
"The Judges and clerks of election,
also the board of canvassers for the
county, at all general elections shall
receive the following pay: For each
hour of Bervice rendered each person
Bhall receive 30 cents. Each mem
ber of the election board shall make
an affidavit before a qualified officer
of the number of hours he has work
ed. The person making the returns
of the elections to the county clerk
shall receive $2 per day and 5 cents
for each mile necessarily traveled.
PJrovlded, that In cities of the first
class judges and clerks of election
shall receive the sum of $5 per day
not. to exceed two days for each elec
tion held in said city."
Another change In the primary
law covers when the polls shall close
and provides that if the hour of clos
ing has arrived and there are voters
in booths or in line waiting to get in
that these shall be permitted to vote
before the polls close. No one ar
riving after 8 p. m. shall be allowed
to vote.
Another change which Is Import
ant is that it will tend to keep voters
from getting their cross opposite the
name of the wrong candidate, comes
in the placing of the square for the
cross to the left of the name instead
of following it Rcross on the right
side of the ballot.
Another change In the law does
not require the rotating of namea in
counties of less than 50,000 popula
tion. Still another change provides that
where any candidate has been defeat
ed at the primary for any office he
cannot become a candidate by peti
tion or otherwise for the same office
at the general election.

CARING FOR YEARLING COLT
There Should Be Gradual Change In
Spring From Grain to Grate
Furnish Some Shelter.
In the spring, when all the work
horses must be put to work, It !a
often a problem Just what to do with
the yearling colt. It goes without say
ing that they are, in most cases, sadlr
neglected. If there are a few greea
pots showing in the pasture they ar
turned In there to make their living,
and all the attention they receive is
an occasional handful of salt.
This change from their ration (
grain and hay to one of grass is pretty
likely to cause a considerable setbaek
to the young horse. There should al
ways be a gradual change from grain
to grass, leaving the grain off entirely
by the time the grass has reached 1M
best.
The young stock always become un
easy when the grass begins to took
green and the spring days begin to
warm up mother earth. They shoaht
be turned out only for an hour or iw
at first, and as they become more ac
customed to the grass they cam
kept out longer.
During this time their grain and bar
ration should be cut down some, ht
they get enough grass to keep them
interested while they are out. In thia
way their digestive organs will gradu
ally become accustomed to the gxao,
and there will be no disorders of the
Intestines when they are turned mi
the grass to stay. If the colts ae
handled In this manner for a week or
two it will be safe to turn them qhC
The colts should have some kmd at
shelter for the first few nights tJW
are In the pasture. They have been
used to the barn all winter, and it wtM
be Just a little trying on them to re
main out in the open on cool, dewy
nights. If there is no shelter in th
pasture they should be driven to tfca
barn at nights for the first two r
three weeks after being turned out.
BROKEN WIND IS INCURABLE

The difficulty in breathing Increase
when the stomach and bowels are m

to be given only in small quantities at

should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp

It is a good plan to mix a quarter
of a pint of linseed oil with each feed.

Every dealer has his specific for
