Will They Believe Him ?

John Rigby, the Enterprise editor,
was In Ontario Saturday trying to find
out what the people Of Ontario were
going 10 do about the removal Of the
county seat. When told that he had
convicted Ontario Of not being honest
with the voters In her promise Of new
court house free and that she would
now 20 ahead and vindicate her honor,
said, BY G -, II you do ] will make
something else stick against you.
We do not believe that Rigby or any
other Of the Vale ring will be able to
invent lies about Ontario and make
them stick again. II is true they were
eminently successful during the late
skirmish, but we believe the people will
not be fooled again by the same ring
with the same tactics. IL Is also true
that every member Of the ring is pol
itician and makes his living Off the tax
PAYERS and has been doing IL for many
years, and that he is working at the
game "a hours every day, but when
their methods are fully aired for the
benefit Of the taxpayers of the county
il will hardly be possible for them to
invent lies and make them stick with
the honest people. OF course this would
not prevent them from buying votes,
but the ours who sell their votes are
numerically small.

NATIONAL CORN CROP MOST
VALUABLE EVER RAISED

Washington, Nov. 9.-This years
corn crop is perhaps the most valuable
ever grown, owing toits increased price
on account of the European war. The
Department of Agriculture announced
today, in its preliminary estimate, that
the crop would amount to 2, $50, ,692, 900
bushels, and that on November farm
ers were being paid 69.7 cents bushel.
The value of the crop therefore, based
on November figures, is 81, 49,, 1867, 324.

Exercises by Schools.

One of the strong features Of the
corn carnival and one that will long be
remembered was the school parade and
program on Oregon street 700 school
children were in line, $50 from the On
tario schools and 100 from four country
schools. The Ontario school manage
ment was very much pleased 10 have
the country children in line, II means a
closer union, as IL Is not long until these
children are the men and women who
will work out the community problems.
IL is impossible 10 mention all the diff
ferent programs, for each room gave
one and every teacher should be COM
mented. The marching, the songs, the
drills. everything in connection with
the program bespoke care on the part
of the instructors. The people showed
their appreciation by almost continual
hand clapping. These drills mean much
in the general education of the child, as
the discipline created is often best and
is lasting.
Crull orcu.t proved himself to be a
master hand in the directing of the
High School Cadet Corps. and the boys
certainly followed his directions in
most creditable manner.
After the exercises by the schools a
marriage ceremony was performed and
Queen Alfalfa was welded TO King
Corn. Prof. Conklin officiating.

Why The Women Lost

Washington. d. C.-Indignaton is ex-
pressed at the National Woman Suf-
frage headquarters over the reports
that are coming in from Ohio, where
an eqnal suffrage amendment to the
constitution was defeated in the recent
election. A formal statement from
the Ohio suffragists will show that
while the suffragists supported the dry
cause in the election, the drys did not
reciprocate. An informal report issued
by the suffragists of Summit county,
Ohio, states that the figures indicate
that some of the vets voted for the
suffrage amendment.
although there were 1924 votes
cast in this county for home rule, an
out-and-out wet amendment, there
were only 11,279 votes cast against
suffrage. Nearly Thousand men
voted wet but did not oppose suffrage
and probably some of them actually
voted for it, /" says the report.
"And what were the drys doing?
They cast 14,721 votes for prohibition,
while suffrage received only 9,215 votes
in this county. 1t looks as il more
than 5 800 dry voters voted against us,
or what is just as bad. did not vote at
all.
''And these figures stand out in the
face of the fact that we talked pro-
hibition every chance we got and did
all the work we possibly could for the
cause.
1--WE were afraid of the wet vote
From the looks of things we might
have looked for more trouble from
those we thought were our friends. 1t
really seems that prohibition and suf-
frage do not go together, after all"
The report concludes with the as
sertion that an analysis of the state
results will show similar situation
throughout Ohio.
