B. 1 Dear Dan: Each state has its own require ments for voting, but generally they are about the same, so I will give you the general require ments and you • can check with your local leaders for specific in iformation. First of all you have to be a natural-born citizen or [a naturalized citizen of the Unit ed States. Then there are dis trict or ward, county and state requirements. Usually they are as follows: for the district or ward you have to be a resident for three months; for the county you have to be a resident for six i months and for the state you have to be a resident for at lea-.' one year. If you fill these re • quirements you become eligible , to vote in local, county, state ant' 1,000-Mile Lubrication! 1 You’ll enjoy longer “new-car” performance and save money on repairs... if you drive in regularly, every 1000 miles, for cur co.nplete Sinclair Indexed Lubri* cation Service.

To register as j a voter you will have to see your | local Board of Registration who will ask you to fill out forms giv ing the in'ormation about your ( birth, certifying as to your age. and your length of residence as mentioned above. It is verv sim ple and you should not have any dificultv in registering and be coming eligible to vote. Usually in registering you have to speci .fy to what party you belong, Democratic. Republican, Non-par tisan or Independent, but you do I not necessarily have to belong to any party to vote and you have the right to vote any way you w'sh regardless as to how vou may register.

Usually the county and state leaders elect the nomi nees as candidates for political of fice, and. if in your state yon have primaries, you have the privilege, if registered as a mem ber of the party, to say yes or no. but nothing else: you have noth ing to say about who shall be the nominees. The political lead ers prepare the platform of the party which usually is a great deal of high sounding hogwash which falls with delicate sensi bility on the ear drums, but makes no impression on the mind. You may see and hear a great deal from the candidates before election, but after elec tion you do not see or hear much from them. As a responsible citizen and voter you should keep in touch with your elected offi cials of government and find out what they are doing. You will never find them taking a defi nite stand on a great political is sue. but straddle the fence. For instance you should write to your U. S. Congressman and Senatoi and ask them what they are go ing to do about the national debt the government in business and the labor questions. Inasmuch a: these questions all involve jol holders and special voting inter ests you will find that you wil’ get replies of a great many words but no definite position for the national leaders determ ine the policy, and the nationa’ policy is usually set up to attrac" voters and maintain them ir power. The labor unions havi become more evil than the oh’ industrial corporations, but as la bor unions represent a grea* many voters, your political ror> resentatives will deal with the problem with a very light touch and not solve the problems or eliminate the corruption which ir rampant in labor unions, from which the public are the victims according to the McClellan inves tigations. Your responsibility is great and I hope vou do some thing about it beside just voting for a candidate selected bv some one else. Dear Three P's: For some time I have been watching the advertised sale? | price of certain commodities and also the bargains as advertised. In one store I noticed that the! reduced bargain price of some- ] thing I wanted to buy was much | higher than the normal price of; the same article on sale at a store in another town some dis tance away. Lucy B. M. Dear Lucy: You certainly have hit on a very serious problem: it is so ser ious that national newspapers' and some magazines are writing | about the situation and the Na- j tional Retailers Organization is • very much concerned about the situation, inasmuch as it affects' the credibility and standing of i honest merchants and is destroy-1 ing the faith and confidence that shoppers have in dealing with re- j liable stores. The practice is, as, I understand it, is as follows: A j certain article' is supposed to sell, at retail say at $100; the mer chant will mark it up* to $l3O and then advertise it for sale at a' great bargain at $111.87. The sit- 1 uation is so serious that Con- 1 gress has threatened to do what they did with the automobile in dustry: compel the manufacturer 1 to post his price to the retailer, on the article and what it should, sell for at retail. As a good j chopper, however, learn to know ( vour merchant and deal with that nerehant who is decent and hon ■st and satisfied with a reasonn ->le profit. You can always teit i responsible merchant for us ually he is an active member of the community. 106 Given Old Age Aid During January According to the monthly re Oort of Mrs. J. H.

Producing the family food sup ply is still a problem with our farm families. A large number of our families do not produce all of the food that they can pro duce on the farm. To live we must eat. We either must pro duce the food or we must buy the food. When there is not much money the family cannot buy all the food they need each day to be in the best of health. Our best bet, in order to eat as we should, is to grow and pro duct all that we can on our farms. Are you getting tired of cook ing your canned vegetable? the same way? Our home demon stration club women were and when they did their planning last fall, requested a demonstration giving different recipes which would give canned vegetable .dishes a lift. This we did in our [January HD meetings. We pre | pared these two dishes in club meetings and the women were given eleven recipes in all.

For a woodland owner to be awarded a Tree Farm certificate he must first show that he is pro tecting his trees from fire, insects, disease and destructive grazing, and then harvest in a manner which will insure growth.
