MARKING THE BALLOTS Some Information About the Voting in the Primary of Tomorrow At torney General Bickett Makes a Ruling on Some Points of the Law. Attorney General Bickett recently made a ruling on the law regarding the distribution of ballots by candi dates and friends of candidates. Here is what the Attorney General says: "I beg to advise that in my opin- judges of election until the elector Kcmes up to vote. The elector then states with which party he affiliates and is handed the ballots of that par ty. He can take the ballots and mark them secretly if he desires, or he can call on the judges to assist him, and there is nothing in the law that for bids his calling on any friend of his to assist him in thb preparation of his ballot if he so desires." The voter may ask the judge at the polling precinct to help him mark his ballot, or he may ask a friend. No ballots must be marked and passed around among voters, and the vster must be careful and see that no name is checked other than the ones he de sires to vote for, remembering to mark onlv the names he desires to vote for. Under the law he must do this himself or select a friend whp he wishes to so help him. A FATAL TRAIN WRECK. A Number ot rersons iviuea .bjiu .

PENTACOSTAL FEAST TO BE CELEBRATED Ibursdav, June 7th, to be Observed By Jewish World and is Known a Pentacost or Feast of Weeks Or- i iginally Agricultural in Character. j The Jewish Pentecost or Feast Jt ' Weeks (Shebuoth) will be celebrated on the 7th of June. Its name is de j rived from the fact that it is cele i (.rated seven weeks after the second i day of Passover. All the biblical in : junctions as to be observed indicate that it was originally Agricultural in character. It was in reality a sea- ; son of thanksgiving for the harvests ! that had been reaped, bejrinnin.g with ' the barley harvest during the Pass- nu..r t.t ihit ubnnl hnrvnt at thp . . . . . beginning or the summer, lne cer- i emonial offerings Drescribed were in , , . . . ,. p.,.-..- ift. of thp tf)(t ha(J (ratnered In past-biblical times this Feast the of Judaism wth the pru was observed as tne anniversary tu mulgation of the divine law at Sinai. On this "Day of the Giving of the j Uw Bg u W8R caled by tm? Rabbis. the Ten Commandments constitute part of the Scripture readings in the Synagogue. It is this historical as pects of the Feast thst has been emphasized in the non-agricultural life, which the Jews were compelled to live for centuries. When the Reform Synagog intro duced the rite of Confirmation for the Jewish youth, the Pentecost, by virtue of its traditional association with the ancient revelation, was the day most naturally selected for charg ing the young boys and girls through an impresive public ceremony, with the meaning of the Jewish faith and with the duty of leading a high and religious and moral life. The agricultural side of the Feast, however, was not lost sight of, in that it was customary deorate home and synagog wfth plants and flowers in seas. In addition to a portion from the Pentateuch, the charming story of Ruth was prescribed in the Synagog because the idylic scene of harvesting which it contains was in keeping with the celebration of the Harvest Feast. Those observing cus toms that originated in post-biblical times add a second day to that en joined in the Bible. MRS. HAITI E POWERS DEAD.
