CHIEF EXECUTIVE MAY BE BAR
RED FROM VOTING
Defect in Registration May Preven
President Taft From Casting
Ballot

Chicago, Oct. 28.-President Taft,
who frequently refers to himself as
the "titular head of the Republican
party" was in a quandary tonight.
The President does not know whether
h is a qualified voter any more. He
does not know whether the election
authorities in Cincinnati, his home
city, intend to let him cast a ballot
in the city elections next Tuesday.
More than two weeks ago Mr.. Taft
made out his registration papers and
mailed them from the Pacific coast.
A few days ago the President was
notified by the Cincinnati board of
elections that he had failed to pro-
vide proper affidavit to accompany
the papers. At New Castle, Wyo.,
where he was the guest of Congress
man Mondell, the President made out
new papers and the necessary affida-
Wit which was mailed to Cincinnati.
Today Secretary Hilles was notified,
evidently on good authority, that the
President had failed to register prop
erly in time.
Later in the day word came from
Cincinnati that the whole matter had
been put up to Secretary of State
Graves of Ohio, and that it was not
definitely settled as to whether Mr..
Taft had right to cast ballot.
Mr.. Taft Is going to Cincinnati
anyhow and he would like to vote If
possible.

Miss Shepherds Busy Time
Prior to going to Topeka, Miss

from Idaho, she attended the sessions
of the women's department at the In
ternational Dry Farming congress.
On the way home she attended the
joint institute. of several counties
held at Pocatello this week. Miss
Shepherd says that this meeting was
productive of great benefit to all who
were persent and is particularly law
ish in her praise of the talented in
structors and lecturers who officiated
during the institute.
Miss Shepherd announced yester-
day that she would leave tomorrow
for Lewiston to be present at joint
institute of Nez Perez, Latah and
Clearwater counties to be held at
Lewiston this week. From Lewiston

From this, it wall be readily under
stood, as consequence, good streets
in the cities and towns has resulted
in a demand for better roads and
highways to connect them.
In conclusion, l will say that the
good roads movement in California
is just in its infancy. With the $1S,'
100000 just voted for state high
ways, We expect to show the world,
in 1915, some of the finest roads in
America. For that reason we want
this congress to meet out in our state
in that year and see what We have
accomplished; we want you to come
and partake of the well known hos
pitality for which the people of Cal
ifornia are famous. Elaborate pre-
parations for your reception and en-
tertainment are already under way,
and the people of San Francisco pro-
mise that you shall behold and enjoy
incidentally at that time, the great
est international exposition ever held
in the histo y of the world.

DO YOU NINE OR FARM YOUR
LAND?


II at this time of the year you see
a farm on which the years accumu-
lation of barnyard manure lies just
over the bank of the nearest creek,
or one on which the barn is being
moved to avoid the necessity of NOV
ing the manure pile, you see one
whose owner, either through
thoughtlessness or ignorance is bent
on mining his land, not farming It.
Again, If you point out to me farm
that through a term Of years has
been kept at it's highest possible state
of fertility, can point out to you a
farmer who has during those years
made an INTEL gent application of the
principles involved in crop rotation
and the application of barnyard man
Iure. This statement that no land is
SO rich that it's owner can afford to
disregard the elements of fertility an
nually removed from it, is almost a
truism, yet there is evidence in every
farming community that 1t should be
made repeatedly.

! Why Buy Indigestion?

If you knew how much lard your
grocer sells couldn't you tell pretty well
how much indigestion there is in the
neighborhood? Lard is made from hog
fat and is often indigestible. 1t is heav-

CALIFORNIA; ADDRESS
Mr.. President:

AS representative from CallfOr-
MIA, it gives me pleasure to say that
our state has made fine progress in
the construction of good roads. In
addition to what has already been
done and that which Is now under
construction in various parts of the
state, a vast amount of this work Is
about to be commenced in the i'm
mediate future. Many of the leading
counties of California have quite re-
Gently voted large bond issues for
good roads, Los Angeles heading the
list with an issue of 100000, fol-
lowed by San Diego and San Joaquin
counties in amounts ranging from
one to two millions each, while the
people of the state, as whole, have
Just voted bond issue for state high
ways of $fS,000,000.
The progress of the good roads
movement in California is undoubted-
ly due in large measure to the
many attractions which our state Of
fers to the motor enthusiast and the
lover of outdoor life. The balmy
winters, the abundance of fruit, the
profusion of beautiful flowers always
in bloom, the scenic grandeur of our
mountains with their gigantic forests
and numerous streams, are the allur-
ing attractions which are making Cal
ifornia the playground of America;
as a result, our people are commence
ing to realize that good roads will
be one of the great assets Of the
state.
This demand for good roads in our
state is strongly seconded by the
fruit growers, who have learned that
a smooth highway is absolutely nee
essary in order that delicate fruit
may be hauled over it without injury.
AS proof of this, it is invariably found
that the proximity of piece OF land
to a good highway is always large
factor in determining its value.
Our progress in this movement may
also be attributed to certain natural
advantages which enables California
to construct good roads comparatively
cheaper than many of her sister
states. From our mountain ranges,
conveniently situated, abundance OF
fine rock may be obtained; crude
asphaltic oil and mines Of bitumin-
Gus rock are also found In various
parts of the state; in other words, the
raw material is at hand:
We may concede, therefore, that
it. is largely owing to the favors ma
ture has so bountifuly bestowed on
us, that our state has made such
Roadway in road building. Other fac
tors are also responsible, however.
Much stimulus has been given to the
movement by the splendid organiza-
ton maintained by our cities and
towns, the League of California Mum
icipalities. This organization, which
has enjoyed thriving existence dur
ing the past IA years, maintains a
headquarters and information bureau
issues a monthly magazine with re.
ports, holds annual conventions, and
acts generally as clearance house
Of ideas and experience, As result

loses Her Horse
 On Mahave Desert
lTuesday's Daily Examiner

Alberta Claire, the intrepid young woman, who is riding from Buffalo, Wyo., to Buffalo, N. Y, on horseback, was expected to arrive in Yuma to- morrow morning on her ride from San Bernardino to this city. She was also expected to appeear at the Yuma theatre tomorrow, "Wednesday eve ming in her specially of monologue and dancing, entitled the ''The Cow Girls Surprise"
 But last night Messrs Williams & DeMund, proprietors of the Yuma the atre, received wire from Mecca, that her horse had wandered in there with out rider, and it was immediately surmised that the first serious acci- dent of the trip had befallen the young woman somewhere on the desert.
 Wires were sent to Mecca for a re- lief party to be sent to her assistance but whether this was done or not, is not known here in Yuma this after noon, but this morning about 10:00 o'clock a wire was received, from her at Mecca, stating that she had walked to Mecca, and had connected with her horse there, and had immediately aft CT a short rest, started to Imperial, where she will spend tonight, and arrive in Yuma tomorrow.
 Just how far she walked or where she lost her horse, is not known, but certainly she must be grit clear through in order to come in off jaunt of that description through the des- ert, and then get on her horse aud head for Imperial almost at once.
 When you come to think about it, it is no child's trip 1his young lady nas undertaken.
 So the Yuma theatre has cancelled her engagement for tomorrow (Wed- nesday) evening and she will appear at the Yuma theatre Thursday night instead.

Commercial Club

(F'rom Wednesdays Examiner) At a special meeting of the Commer cial Club last night which was called at the request of Mayor F. L. Ewing the club decided to offer Aviator Ov- ington the sum of $200 for three hour stop in Yuma on his trans-conti- mental flight for the Hearst prize of $50,000 But the Yuma purse will not be made up until Ovington reaches Ell Paso, and of course, if he fails to reach Fl Paso, that settles it so far as Yuma is concerned.
 Judging, however, by what the oth- CT aviators have accomplished so far, it is only fair to say that he will never reach Fl Paso, and so Yuma will nev- CT be called on to produce the purse.
 Nut sometime, somebody will reach this goal-an ocean to ocean flight but it does not look as though anyone would be able to accomplish it in the time limit set by MT. Hearst-on or before October 10th, 1911.
 However, the offer of the purse was directed wired to MT. OvertOn, and if he should reach Fl Paso, Yuma is sure of some advertising that is we'll worth while, and advertising that could not be bought for the sum of $200.
