A. H. JACOBSON Murdock Garage polls' may beHsuarded Chicago, Nov. 2. Recommenda tion that polling places in the dis orderly districts of Chicago be guard ed with riot guns was made tonight by the October special grand jury, investigating frauds perpetuated in the April primary. "It is mo&t urgently recommend ed," says the jury's report "that in precincts where the law has been persistently violated and where po lice officers refused to do their duty that representatives of the Chicago Bar association or other volunteers of good reputation be deputized to act as officers and watchers at such polling places and that they be arm ed with riot guns plainly visible and that the instructions be de finite t the effect that the law is to be enforced and that the sacred ness of the ballot box must at all hazards be preserved. "If it be stated that such tactics are out of date, let it be understood that only by such drastic measures has society been able to protect it self and that as long as armies and navies are necessary in the inter national field to suppress ggression such as long as it will be necessary to protect property and peronal rights of American citizens to be de fended by force of arms when such defense is made necessary by assas sins, thugs and hoodlums."

Mrs. Edna Nelson of Peabody, Kan- sasa, a sister of Mr. H. H. Moore has been visiting with her brother for. the past week, who remains very low at their home in Alvo. All is being' done possible for the sick man, but his condition still remains very grave. Messrs Phillip and Lee Coatman and Misses Dorothy and Lula Peter son and their mother, Mrs. Miunine Peterson were over to TJtlca on last Sunday where they visited very plea santly with friends and relatives Mrs. Peterson and daughters formerly resided there and know many friendr in that vicinity.

B Skinner, Miss Hathaway and Elberta McCleary, the remainder going to Omaha. Hope For Better Roads. When the writer was in Alvo the past week, it was learned that a pet ition was in circulation for the gra veling of six miles of roads extend ing from the south edge of Green wood precinct, and running from Alvo to the road leading into Green wood, six miles north. There were a large number of signers on the pet ition, which requires some sixty-one citrnatnrps to secure the 2.2 milh 'tax for the improvement of the road. The county by the law is requueu half the funds when the precinct shall furnish the other half. This would make a road to con nect with the National highway 38. with the exception of one mile, and it is thought that this could be ar ranged in some way thus securing an all year road from Alvo to the outside world. There is a heavy traffic on thi. road which leads from the south tc Omaha, the farmers delivering much stock via truck to the Omaha stock yards over that route. This road runs one mile cast of the center of the township, and would accomodate very nicely the majority of the ter ritory of the precinct, the extreme edge of the township being four miles from the road while the other portion would be two miles on the east at t'le fartherest. and something ovei three miles on the west. Enjoy the Hallowe'en. There were three Hallowe'en par ties composed of the students of the Alvo schools one being at the school building, one at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Skinner and one at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bennett northwest of Alvo. Good times were reported at each of the places which were attended by large -crowds. Making It Easy. Art Dinges the mayor of Alvo, be lives in keeping the town in the best condition possible and while he does not object to the boys having fun cn Hallowe'en or any other time as tr that docs everything to prevent dam age to any one. He also has a box rather long and narrow, which he offers to any candidate to make au address from, but as he wanted tc stand it on end. which makes I' rather unstable not msny o! the can d?d4ttfc care to riok the wobbly platform. ?

FRED HOFFMAN. Why Every Citi zen Should Vote as a Duty Essay of Miss Mary Pollard Gives Reasons Why Citizen Should Perform Duty at Polls. Some months ago Miss Mary Pol lard of Nehawka was awarded the first prize in the state wide contest sponsored by the American Legion for essays on why the citizens of the country should vote. The essay was selected from among the best in the various counties in the state and is given below as it is most ap propriate at this time when the. near approach of the election brings forcibly to mind the necessity of the voter expressing their sentiments as American citizens: "We as citizens of the United States, rest securely in the stability and safety of our country. In en joying these advantages we must remember that our peace and happi ness is dependent upon a govern ment whose responsibility rests upon each individual citizen. The United States is a representative democracy. That is, a country where the people elect officers to make the laws and administer the government. Again, the will of the people in a collective expression of individual opinions 'in which the view of. each citizen ,is a necessary Unit. Every citizen must vote that the will of the people may be expressed by the choice of the best and most efficient officers. In this manner, though it may seem in direct, the future of our government is determined. "From a sparsely settled country with undeveloped resources has come at last a glorious union, band ed by a well organized nation. By careful co-operation and earnest ef fort, the voters may, through the principles set forth, bind the states more closely, thus avoiding the aw ful chaos and destruction of civil war and assuring themselves strength in unity. "Although the constitution de clares the equality of all citizens before the law, it often seems as though the rich or influential obtain unfair advantages. Every public of ficial will act honestly if the people are determined to elect honest offi cers, and the voters may thus- es tablish justice in all the legal actions of the nation. "The happiness eftbe entire union rests upon the personal contentment of each citizen. We cannot have true peace as long as two factions, such as capital and labor, disagree. It i3 in the interest of all the people to help to settled such disagreements peacefully and satisfactorily. Duty to Protect Ourselves "The chief duty of a government is to protect its citizens in all ways. Since we, the people govern supreme, it is for us to protect ourselves and others through the medium of the ballot. Each voter t must strive to defend the property, the health, the personal liberty, and the life of him self and others. "The standards of life must always be leveled up instead of leveled down. As on reaches a high plane, the others must also be elevated. Those people who are unable to care for themselves must be assisted. Intel ligent, educated people, are, as a rule, more prosperous and broader minded than thoBe without these at tainments. Immorality and vice un dermine and weaken the nation; they must be abolished. Desirable con ditions must be established and all causes of weakness must be destroy ed. "We must cultivate and develop those qualities which will make a strong and lasting nation wherein luia Ktiiiranuu aau muse iu come may procure all the blessings and ooioo r i;hrK- wa advantages of liberty. We must UP hold and perfect a government which is able to protect a great na tion industrially, socially, and spiritually. We must create friend ly relation with all the world and t necHsary ifle"! v18 much to be done but it cannot be accomplished by violence or by sud den coup d'-etat.

The an nual meeting of the farm bureav of Hamilton county was held here Tuesday with about 300 present. Re ports f the officers and County Agent J. P. Ross were followed by addresses by Mary Ellen Brown and Professors Brackett and Sjogren cf the agri cultural engineering department of the state university. Both discussed well irrigation. They said the Hamil ton county well on the farm now owned by E. J. Hainer of Lincoln is probably the largest well in the state used for irrigation purposes. It is 192 feet deep, with the water ris ing to within 67 feet of the top and there is a draw-down of nineteen feet when the pump is operating This well lifts 2,500 gallons of water per minute. Both professors said the princi pal trouble with well irrigation wa? that farm operators wait too long for rain from the sky before they start to use water from their wells They said the water should be used in time and in sufficient quanitite? without regard t othe weather. They advised that test holes br put down before wells are built, in order to determine whether the water will be there in sufficient quantities. The well and pump must be large enough to furnish enough water to keep a many busy in spread ing it in the field. A construction that required a man at the pump all the time was too costly. Construction should be such that the pump would continue to run while the operatoi is in the field spreading the water The Hainer well, two miles from Aurora, has been visited by thou sands of people. It irrigated 24 C acres. The corn will yield abou! fifty bushels per acde. while fieldr close by have nothing, as this war an exceedingly dry summer in Ham ilton county. The alfalfa also pro duced heavily, while alfalfa that war not irrigated did not start to grow. GERMANS LIKE NERVE OF THE STOWAWAY LAI Berlin, Oct. 31.
