Another suggestion for voters is
that all of them should he provided
with a pencil when they go to the polls
to vote, and they should be careful
that it is a Week pencil, for the ticket
will not be counted if any other kind is
naed. Voters should avoid carry-
ing a murked ballot with them to tlie
prills also, for this is against the law.

It was the Crown Prince, if we re-

fell for it and set the tiling in motion.
From the way our hoys and the French
are chasing the little upstart of a
Prince hack toward Berlin, that hu-
man misfit will have a large share in
bringing the war to a close. This will
be working the thing out very well, for
