WOMEN TEACHERS MAY VOTE ON NOVEMBER 2 Many questions have come in to the state headquarters of the League . of Women Voters as to whether ‘women teachers may vote at the com- ing elections and if so whethef they should vote in their home district or in the district where they stay dur- ing the school year. To satisfy these questions the at- torney general was appealed to and has rendered the following opinion: /A woman voter teaching in a dis- trict other than the district of her permanent residence, may register by maijl pursuant to the provisions of Section 425, G. S. 1913, and may vote by mail pursuant to the pro- visions of Chapter 68, Laws of Min- nesota 1917.” The attorney general further ad- vises that if a teacher intends to make her permanent residence where she is now teaching she may vote in that district but she must satisfy the election judges as to the sincerity o_f her intention to make her new resi- dence permanent. Even more inquiries have come to the League of Women Voters as to whether women could be required to give their exact age at the polls and alarm was expressed in some quar- ters that if this requirement was sisted upon a considerable reduction in the women’s voté would result. Once more the attorney general came to the rescue with an opinion which should sétisffi any uneasiness on this score. The opinion reads: “Where it is obvious that a prospective voter is over twenty-one years of age, there should be no inquiry on the subject by the election board. What entry should be made by the regiser judges in the columns of the register headed: “Length of residence in the United States,” “Length of residence in the state,” in cases where the ap- plicant is obviously over twenty-one years of age? In my opinion the proper entries to be made in such cases are, in the case of a citizen born in the United States; “over twenty-one years,” ‘“‘over six months” and “over thirty days.” In the case of a naturalized citizen or of voters who were not born in the United States more exact information may be required. It then becomes per- tinent to know definitely what length of time the person seeking to vote has resided in the United States, the State of Minnesota and the clection district wherein he is a resident. But in normal cases of a voter born in this country, the data given above is sufficient to enable the judges to determine the qualifications of the persons offering to vote.” KEKEKK KKK KKK KKK * BAGLEY * IS 22222 RS R R R Mrs. Hans Melbye of Grand Forks, who has been spending the past week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. An- drew Meyer, rveturned hoine Satur- day.

Tolaas, chief inspector for the state seed potato certification board, is often responsible for serious loss from rots., Every bruise or infection on a potato makes it easy for various|, storage rots to develop. These dis eases have their origin in the soil or in unclean bjns. It is important, therefore, that great care be taken while digging and also while handl- ing the potatoes after placing them in storage. Potatocs badly bruised when dug should not be placed in storage with sound potatoes, since they are cer- tain to rot and spread infection throughout the bins. A field that has contained blackleg, and which has not been rogued, is very likely to yield a considerable number of po- tatoes slightly infected at least with blackleg rot. If these are placed in storage with sound tubers they may be responsible for large amounts of storage rot, especially if the potatoes are damaged when being dug or after being placed in storage. Mr. Tolaas finds that a large amount of storage rots can be pre- vented by placing the potatoes as soon as dug in crates which, when filied, can be hauled to the storage cellar and carefully dumped wherever wanted. If it is necessary to drop the potatoes several feet much dam- age can be avoided by providing a thute for lowering them into the cellar. Storage cellars, especially those which contained a lot of rotted pota- {toes the previous year, should be thoroughly disinfected with a strong solution of bluestone—one pound "being dissolved in ten gallons of water; or formaldehyde, one pint in ten gallons of water, before the po- tatoes are put away. Good wentila- , tion with temperature of from 35 to 40 degrees F. will aid materially in the Aung Ol- |} keeping down the loss from storage' Getting ; StrongeriEverygDay, OLD DOBBIN COMING BACK, ASSERTS EXPERT (By United Press) 23.—The next five years will see the horse drawn carriage, the saddle horse and the trucking horse on the boulevards, in the parks and on the highways in a great revival of Old Dobbin’s useful ness was the gualement today to the United Press by J.

The lack of driving horses on the highways now, Buckley said, is not due so much to the fact that the auto- mebiles replace them, but to the that a man loving his driving hor: would not risk driving him among the automobiles. There is also a serious shor e of men to shoe horses, he s adding that the horse sheer, in fear that the auto might put him out of business entirely aken up other lines of work trade said. Speaking on tue ptability of the horse to the trucking business Buck- ley ecited statistics tha horse can be used in this business at an ex- pense of 13 cents a mile while carry- ing 100 pounds of freight while the auto truck expenses for the same dietance while carrying the same weight is 25 cents.
