JAZZ. rs FOR ELECTION
in TWO NEW COUNTIES

Pierre. S. D.-Governor Byrne has
fixed Tuesday, January 26, 1915, as
the date for holding the elections for
selecting the first set of officers, and
temporary county seats for the new
counties of Jackson and Haakon,
which. have been created out Of the
western part Of Stanley county. The
polling places fixed for Jackson
county, which is in the southwest
corner, are NCottonwood, Stamford,
Belyidere, Kadoka. Weta, Interior,
mi Star School House in Little Buff
falo Township. The indications are
for several candidates for county
seat honors in that county.
For Haakon county, the polling
places are: Midland, Nowlin, Powell,
Philip, Ottumwa, Old Trail, Fergu-
son school, House, Elbon, Grindstone,
Ash Creek, Hiiland, Topbar, Miles
vile, Manila, Moenville, Elwood, AL
lemans Ranch, Marietta.
The county seat contest in this
county is likely to settle down be-
tween Philip and Midland. At a
later date Governor Byrne will name
a list of supervisors of election for
each OF; these precincts, such super
yisors being required to be resident
outside the boundaries OF the coun1
ties in question.

Of young men in Boston the otl.er
day: Remember, the only asset ans.
body has is character" That holds
true for princes as we'll as for pleb-
|ians.
A few years ago the Khedive open
ly insulted his lawful consort as well
as the religious feelings OF his reo-
pie, by marrying a Hungarian wo-
man of questionable character. De-
yout Mohammedans never forgive
this, and Lord Cromer, the BritlAl
agent, refused to c~ountenance it. In
addition, we'll informed Egyptians
have long known that the Khedive
was misusing the vast religious epv
dowments of their mosques, and
schools. His abuse of these immense
funds became so scandalous that
Lord Kitchener, the recent British
IAgent, brought it about that the en-
Idowments were placed under proper
supervision.
In fine, the Khedive has been a
man without a character, and now
he finds himself a ruler without sub
Ejects.

REPUBLICAN, VOTE IN
THIRD DROPS 4,50o

Deadwood, s. D.-Figures from the
official count OF the vote cast at the
November election discloses a pecul-
lar situation in the western part of
the state. Although there has been
no falling off in the population, the
figures show that over $500 repub-
licans in the third congressional dis
trict who voted in 1912, failed to 90
to the polls this year for some .un-
known reason. In 1912 Congressman
Martin got $500 votes and Candy,
his democratic opponent got 1854.
This year Rice, the republican can
didate got 1922 and Candy got
1864, only 210 more than he got
two years ago. According to those
figures, if even half of the stay at
home republicans in this district had
voted as they did two years ago, Rice
would have been elected and 1000 of
them voting would have also elected
Burke. Politicians west of the river
are unable to explain the reason for
the failure to vote.

the other day, just like Irwin Cobb

ener. In the course of an article
upon the subject Of charity begin
ming at home, inspired by a request
for contributions for funds to buy
testaments to send to soldiers in the
European war, he expressed the opin-
ion that charity should begin at
home, and cited an instance of an
Aberdeen family, all of whom were
sick of typhoid, and had naught but
raw pumpkin in the house to eat.
inside of twenty-four hours. five or
CARNATIONS and a lot Of individuals
had applied to the paper for the name
Of the family, that they might sup
ply it with necessities and comforts.
This incident has led to a movement
for an organization of an Associate
ed Charities, that the charitably dis
posed may care for those needing as
sistance without needless duplica-
|tions.
So far 713 sacks of flour have been
donated by the people of Aberdeen

The "shop early" campaign on
Christmas gifts has an active adj
herent in Postmaster r. j. Ball, who
is suggesting that all parcels be mail
ed at the earliest possible moment.
He also has announced the official
sanction for the use of the caution,
"Do Not Open Until Christmas"
Among the other official sugges-
lions is q warning that names and
addresses of. senders should be writ
ten on each package and also in
Guided in the package. The postof-
fees annually are confronted with
the problem OF d~isposing of thous-
ands Of parcels that have. lost their
tags or outer covering and bear moth
ing to identify the sender or address

The suggestions point out that
books or sets of books may now be
sent by parcel post, packages weigh
ing eight ounces or less taking a rate
of one cent for each two ounce or
traction thereof. Regular zone rates
apply above that weight.
Following are additional official
rules applying specifically to Christ
ma packages:
"You may insert in parcel mail
written or printed inscriptions, such
as Merry Christmas Happy New
Year or With Best Wishes Up
on fly leaves of books you may write
simple %dedicatory inscriptions not OF
a personal nature. Other written
additions or insertions subject a par
