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are out of date, let it be understood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."

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

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

spiritually. We must create friend

DISCUSS WELL IRRIGATION
Auora, Neb., Oct. 31. 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.

every one voicing his choice for his officers. Should I
be elected COUNTY JUDGE, I shall use every earnest
endeavor to give a straight-forward business-like admin
istration. No sob sister gush, but justice according to
Law and Evidence. Lincoln said, "You can fool all the
people part of the time and part of the people all of the
time, but cannot fool all the people all of the time. He
was right! Get to the bottom of things know what is
the best thing then act !
