QUIET. COUNTY ELECTION
VOTERS OF RANDALL COUNTY TAKE VERY
SMALL INTEREST IN VOTING.
Democrats Garry County by Large Majorities'
Two Of Proposed Amendments are
Popular and Carried,

Last Tuesday was a very quiet
day in Canyon City so far as it
applied to elections except that
the interest of the people was
conferred on National affairs. The
vote in all the boxes was very
light when it was thought that a
heavy vote would be polled. In
the entire county there were
only about 275 or 80 votes cast.
All the boxes had been heard
from yesterday afternoon eX-
cept one and that a small one.
The people of the county
seemed interested in the school
amendment which was to be
voted upon and that carried the
county by a vote of 20 to "a. The
second amendment also carried
the county by vote of 90 to 81,
while the people did not seem to
want to pay the gubernatorial of
ficerS a higher salary for they
voted against that amendment
by vote of 6S for the amend
ment and 9S against.
On the officers to be elected
the vote was divided on party
lines, the democrats having a
large majority of the votes cast.
The republicans had started out
early in the campaign to poll as
large a vote as possible but as the
campaign grew older somewhat
of an apathy overcame all classes
of voters even the enterpriSing
republicans.

Bryan electors received 800

CHILDREN AND SCHOOL LUNCHES

If your children cannot return
home for MONDAY luncheon, let them
go to restaurant, or provide a good
luncheon. Children with fickle ap-
petites are more apt to play than eat
during the noontime. then eat too
much for evening dinner. Eating too
heartily at night is not good for a
child engaged almost wholly in men
tai duties If the luncheon is tempt
ing, 1t is more liable to be eaten. 1t
is said nothing tempts the childish
appetite more than raisins, and child
rem will nibble at them when other
fruits are let alone. They are highly
nutritious and can be eaten raw or
cooked in bread. If boiled eggs are
included in the luncheon, they should
cook at least twenty minutes, other
wise the yolks are indigestible. Good
cheese is nutritious, though it should
be as sparingly used as meat, for only
people engaged in muscular duties
demand such heavy food Bananas
are healthful, but oranges are not
considered so for luncheon, being a
breakfast fruit. It is claimed that
apples cause headache, because child
rem with weak stomachs eat apples
that contain an acid. which often
causes violent spells of headache.
Again, children who have good di-
gestion are benefited by eating them.
1t is for parents to know what foods
agree with the children, for what may
be nourishing to. one child might
prove injurious to another. The
chocolate girl, or the one who in
dulges in crackers and pickles for the
MONDAY luncheon, is sight to be-
bold, for worse pimpled face is diff
fcult to find. The penny candy shops
do a thriving business when the
school opens and they are frequented
when the luncheon box fails to meet
the demands of a hungry or fickle
appetite. If the health OF school
children is to be considered, then
must the luncheon box or basket be
carefully prepared 1t does not call
for much. but it does call for the very
best, The best brain workers in the
school room are children carefully
and sensibly fed; laggards are found
among the poorly fed ones. Study
ing with half-starved or overfed
stomach is like praying with cold
feet, both liable to get woefully side
tracked.

CHAIRMAN HITCHCOCK MAKES A
PREDICTION IN REGARD TO
ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
SAYS HE'S SURE OF NEW YORK
He Also Places. Indiana, Maryland
and Nebraska In His List and
Says the Chances in Mis-
souri, are Even.

New York, Oct. 31.--In his forecast
of the composition of the electoral col.
lege which will choose the next pres.
ident and vice president OF the United
States, made public at Republican
headquarters Friday night, National
Chairman Hitchcock claims 1926 Re.

dates.
For the Republican ticket Mr..
Hitchcock is sure of New York. Ohio
and Indiana. He also includes in the
Republican column Nebraska, Mon.
tana. Maryland and Nevada. In ex.
planning his list, Mr.. Hitchcock said
that he believed the chances were
even in Kentucky and Missouri with
their 1S and 1S votes, respectively. If
by any chance any of the states
claimed should go Democratic he said
they would be Maryland, Montana and
Nevada, with total of ID votes. This
would leave Republican margin of
60 and of this advantage he expressed
himself as perfectly confident.
The national chairman does not In.
clude Tennessee and Oklahoma in his
list and comedies that the chances in
those states are against the Republi.
can ticket. His forecast, Mr. Hitch.
cock said, was based upon information
received by him from party leaders
throughout the United States.

Being Frank.

Have you ever heard person maxi
ing his or her boast that he or she
would keep certain facts from certain
persons? We all have. and to a
great extent we all practice the bit
of deception. But when largely car
ried out, mischievously done, there
is no end to the trouble 1t brings.
The faculty for concealment, as "se-
cretiyeness," as the phrenologists
term 1t, Is dangerous gift. Open
ness and candor are delightful When
we discover that friend has deceiv-
ed or only half-trusted us, we regard
him ever after with suspicion, and it
requires very long time for him to
recover the ground he mas lost in our
confidence and esteem. Nothing has
a worse result in the home than mys-
teriousness in trifles, which so often
lead to quarrels, tragedies and sensa-
tional scandals. Friends are .often
separated by the lack of frankness In
some trifing event easily explained,
II 1t needed to be, yet secretly kept.
children who begin these trifles at
home are those who are discouraged
and fear to be frank. and for this
very reason children deceive parents
because they realize they cannot go
to them and confess little faults and
the like because it would mean pun
ishment of the worst kind, and some
thing even worse, the lack of sym
pathy. The girl who can s.t down on
a low ottoman at her mothers knee,
open her letters and read them aloud,
discuss her love affairs as freely as
she ever discussed her school life
events, is the girl who will grow to
be a frank. honest woman. She may
not be openly frank, buG she will not
be possessed OF hidden nature
which always makes her a suspicious
person among friends.
