Polls are open until eight o'clock tonight. Kpring Song Good weather may he bad weather on election day. It i tempts the fisherman far from the polls, urges the farmer to : keep to the fields. Just when a big vote should be recorded. The most important product of this community is on dis- play today. The school youngsters have their annual par ade. Designed to advertise the grade school track meet, the parade also serves to emphasize the number of school child ren, their importance to the community. No problem is more -vital than the school problem. This is one election when the outcome is fairly doubtful up to the time the votes are counted. By midnight tonight the result should be well established through the work of 'iioiirurt'jrtot claffu f Ii trh ft i f f Ytn ui tti a in rr; t h ni n tr itift ni ill- Holidating returns.

I -..tit, l.f A quarter century from now ; 0 u- i.;,ke winum Mildred Mrl.iin ONE EVERY 610,000 MILES In the last twelve months it required, in the United States, iontething like 6-10,000 miles -of automobile operation to kill i man. This figure may be off a few thousand miles one vay or the other, but it is near enough to show two things: Tirst, that the danger of death by auto accident is Bot quite o great as one would imagine; but, on the other hand, it lemonstiates that there is a furious lot of automobile mile age run off in the course of a year. Assuming that 20,000,000 motor vehicles average 8,000 niles a yearboth of the estimates are ultraconscrvative ve discover a total annual operation of 100,000,000,000 miles. That is a tremendous amount of traveling, but 25,000 traffic leaths irfa trenRMidous toll. A good-sized cityfut or an im )0sing army dies each year largely because of human carc OKsncss and unnecessary haste. There are far too many traffic fatalities and a radical eduction in them is not impossible, but when the total is considered in its relation to the mileage covered by the lation's millions of motor vehicles in the course of twelve nonths it becomes apparent that most drivers are careful '.nd that not all pedestrians are jaywalkers. .
