Sing a song of sunset:
Long the shadows lie,
Stretching out to eastward
While the western sky
Dons a golden radiance
Deepening into red,
As the sun, low sinking,
Slowly seeks his bed.
flushed are natures voices,
Earring notes are etilled;
With half-murmurings only
All the air is filed.
Fades the sunset glimmer,
Stars are shining bright;
Earth is wrapped in darkness,
Day engulfed in night.

Election Returns TO be Secured,

While the arrangements for the Sc
curing the election returns in DEBORAH
have as yet not been completed. yet it
is expected that some plan will be de-
veloped so that the complete returns
from the county, state::and nation will
be received. and conveyed to the pub
lie. The plan which we hope may be
carried out, and it is more than likely
that it will be. is that a special wire
service will be arranged for. including
the Associated Press dispatches. The
messages as they come in by wire and
telephone will be TRANSCRIBED and with
the use of lantern thrown upon a
large canvass suspended in conspicu-
ious place OH Water street, so that all
who may be on the street may read
the returns, free of charge. Negotia-
tions are now under way for this SER
vice, together with the use OF NOV
ing picture machine with several new
and interesting views to interest the
crowd between the receipt of bulletins
In order to make this service COM
plete. il is important that one men,
Der of the township committee or some
one else in each precinct take it upon
himself to get the returns of his PIE
ciLct as fast,,as counted and telephone
them in. Call up II. ]. Green, Chair.
man Republican County Central Com.
mittee, Der either the Iowa, Standard
or Farmers telephone and we will
also keep the country precincts posted
as to all the news we get. If every
precinct will attend to this promptly
complete service. may be organized
for the county, and the returns of the
entire country transmitted without
difficulty.

DID YOU REGISTER?
Next Saturday is the Only Remaining Day
If You Don't Register You
Can't Vote.

For some reason there was q large
number of voters in the city who did
not register last week. There seems
to be a Misunderstanding about the
registration laws. Under the law,
there must be complete new regis
tration this year in all cities having
over $500 inhabitants 1t makes no
difference whether you have ever
registered before or not, if You do not
register this year you cannot vote at
the coming election. In the different
wards the registrat;o on books show a
large percentage of voters have failed
to register. The number registered is
as follows
First Ward-1S4.
Second Ward--l04.
Third Ward-l46
Fourth Ward-237.
Fifth Ward-124:
1t is therefore important that all
those who have not done so heretofore
register on Saturday. On election day
only those who were sick or out of the
city Oh all four registration days can
register. We sincerely hope that all
delinquents will tie a string about
their noses when they read this and
leave it there until after they have
registered next Saturday.

partment of agriculture is becoming
more evident year after year. In Sec
rotary Wilson's report. for instance.
mention is made of the government s
crusade against the cotton ball weevil
and the cattle mango; of the produc-
ton of hearty hybrid orange; of the
successful manufacture of cakes of

exhausted soils. and of the introduc-
ton Of plants adapted to areas of light
rainfall. IL would be hard TO estimate
the value Of this work TO the farmer.
