OFFICIALS FEARFULl
LEST AMENDMENT
FAILED To CARRY
REGARDING ELECTION OF COUNTY
OFFICERS FOR A FOUR YEARS
TERM OF OFFICE

The county officers are going to have
a close shave for their four years term
according to delayed returns from the
recent state election. There was some
little doubt about the fate of this
amendment on the night of the cleo
ton. The returns at that time indl
Gated that this amendment to the con
stitution would have a close call, while
there was scarcely a doubt as to al
of the other amendments, nine in mum
Der, carrying.
Up to date the returns have beer
received from 141 out of 148 counties
The vote for the amendment in these
counties was 25,915, while the vote
against it was 24,755, giving tn,
amendment a majority of only 1,160
County worekrs all over the state
have been working for years to ge
through an amendment which woul(
give them a four-year term instead O.
the two years as at present The or
binary is the only county officer whG
now serves for four years, all of the
others holding only two-year terms
They would undoubtedly regard it as
a great misfortune if they would LOSE
by only few votes after all the worl
they have done and after so nearly
reaching the goal.
There appears to have been no par
ticular reason for opposition to thi;
amendment on the part Of the people
and as the proposed new law would
be an excellent one the hope is ex
pressed that the returns may yet
show it has been carried.

BERLIN, Nov. 17.-Germauy's best.

cut down in order to facilitate military
operations, while others were trAmpled

The result of this has been that the
wine crop of Alsace will be approx
mately one-third normal. Conditions
in Lorraine are better. Though some
of the vineyards around Metx were
cut down when the war began, the crop
generally is plentiful enough to dis
count this. The quality, moreover, is
said to equal that Of 1894. Good
weather conditions early in the season
favored good average crop, and um-
like those of Alsace and esasJeFn
France the wine growers of Lorraine
were able to give their vineyards all
needed care.

The Girl Who Enjoys
Out of Door Sports

/ long and wide. In this she looks like
grown-up Baby Bunting of the most
fascinating description.
Other foolish girls near her sit half
chilled for many hours. These girls
have exposed necks, ice-cold feet,
wrists not at all warm, body but
poorely wrapped against the chill.
Such young women are committing a
! grievious sin against their own good
looks. All of these things mean cold,
fever, pain, inflamed mucous mem
branes, impaired digestion, roughened
compilations, circles under the eyes,
cracked lips, red hands-and many
other things they shall not soon be rid
of.
Certainly to enjoy fall sports one
must be suitably dressed and prepared
, for the occasion. Neglect of proper
protection from the biting winds
means less enjoyment, and to be at
least very uncomfortable for days af-
terward, even if one is lucky enough to
escape an illness which may mean
some time in bed.
AS the winter days advance many
girls cannot understand why they find
small pimples on the face, chin and
forehead Others ask, why am l so
pale, somewhat haggard- looking ?
Some have a drawn condition of skin,
far from becoming. They doctor, use
many medicaments and expect results
at once without any delay They do
not recognize the fact that nature
works slowly but surely, and that not
once, but many times, they lowered
their vitality by exposure to chill and
to cold; they impaired their digestion
in the same way; they robbed the sys-
tenn of its rightful due and did not re-
turn it any recompense for such misdo-
ing.
Sports are good things and healthful
things. Yet womanhood must not go
beyond the limit of common sense
even when it seems to be ENJOYABLE
Long tramps are good things, but
they should not be carried to the
breaking point of endurance. Football
is glorious, but one must be warmly
attired and carry extra wraps for its
proper enjoyment. Plenty of sleep,
plenty of wholesome food, these must
be had if Miss. Young America is to
continue strong and hearty. Unless
she does so conserve her strength, she
will not long preserve her beauty, and
this last consideration, when she is
young, is the most important of the
two.
Autumn is the time when the earth
prepares herself for winters rigor. Not
all at once does the change come but
gradually it merges on into the other
Following suit, the wise woman uses
the same tactics so that she does moi
think she can do all that was found
good when sun rays were torrid, nor
does she yet presume to hurry forward
winter joys, winter diversions. But in
the golden means, whereby she takes
due notice of the advancing chill OF
wind and weather, shall be found her

FIVE CENTS ON EVERY FARE
Minnesota Court Decision Will Cost

St. Paul. Dec 21.-Legal depart
ments of the railways centering here
are studying the text of the decision
of the supreme court in the test case
on the Bendixen 2-cent fare law, and
important changes in the passenger
tariffs of the lines probably will be
made.
In it's decision the court held that a
carrier may charge 3 cents a mile for
the first five miles of every passen-
gers trip. and this will mean an in
crease in passenger revenue to the
railways of the state of about 81 1,O0O,-
600 year, according to careful esti-
mates made by local rate men. Five
cents will be added to the cost of
every ticket for trip longer than five
miles purchased in Minnesota, if the
railway attorneys recommend a literal
following of the decision.
