“in my opinion,” he said, “this
Payment must be made before the
voter Oifers to vote in the primary,
and in addition to such payment his
r.ame must be added to the voters’
list by the county registrar.
It he makes such payment before

the general election in Novmber and

Rljli ROADS liERD TO HOIAE
Go home for the holidays if you can. The clasp of a
welcoming hand, the sound of a friendly voice, are
gifts of happiness that nobody should forego.
Time or distance, however, may prevent your visit
ing a few close friends and relatives whom you would
so much like to see. Then all you have to do, as many
folks have learned, is to let “long distance” bring you
and your friends together for a voice-to-voice visit.
It doesn’t matter whether you call on Christmas
day or not, you will both get a real thrill from your
telephone visit any time during the holiday season.
The pleasure you will experience from your visits
by telephone is not expensive. For example, by using
Station-to-Station service after 7 P. M., you can talk
150 miles for about 50 cents, and other distances for
similarly low cost.
Your “long distance” operator will be pleased to
inform you about rates to any point, and help make
your holidays pleasant by giving quick connections to
the friends you want to greet.
