Present returns in hand dc
not favor either presidential candi'
date. Wilson is leading in Cali
iornia and North Dakota, while
Hughes is ahead in Minnesota
and New Mexico. The winner
must carry California or Minneso'

and New Mexico.
There is no generally accepted
opinion as to results, all awaiting

said Democratic Chairman Nc
Cormiek shortly before 4 o'clock

THE COMMUNITY IDEA.

one OF the sanest ideas that has struck
the west in recent years is that which
involves closer co operation between
the cities and towns and the farmer az
county. This has been imposs;bl.
heretofore because so many farmers chung
to the ancient theory that the town is ,
parasite supported by the country district
and because the town folks held them
selves to be somewhat superior to the
ruralifles in various ways. The farmer
OF today knows how important TO him 4,

dweller knows thas his prosperity is bot
TONED on the prosperity Of the farmers,
and has come TO understand that the
real farmer is a real business man. Out
Of this new viewpoint has come the
movement for extending The community
lines beyond the town limits and the
frequent consultation Of farmer and
town man over problems in which they
are jointly interested. such as good
roads. good streets. The live communi-
ties OF the future will involve a develop

scampered up the tree. On q high
branch he sat down and looked at her.
June waved her hand.
Back on the beach, Mary watched
the struggling Pietro. and tried des-
perately to decide what the wisest
move would be. His awful cries
would attract a larger crowd in few
minutes.
II flashed upon her, suddenly, that
there was a way of protecting June,
even now. With the wrap still on her
arm she ran toward the screaming
Italian. Indicating that she was 60
ing to release him, Mary unbuckled
the strap, just as a policeman came
running up.
Pietro scrambled to his feet, chok.
ing with rage. A torrent of sound
poured from his thick oily lips.
MY monk ne-stole-girl-wom
an-gotta round on hand! Stole! Cut-a
rope! Swipe-a monk! Beat it,"
Mary stepped forward and spoke to
the officer.
monkey. He's showing you the cut
rope in his hand"
The patrolman raised his cap.
II didn't see you at first, Miss
Mary" he said pleasantly. Eyes,
understood that someone had COPIED
the monkey; but what's he getting at,
drawing things on the back of his
hand and moving his fingers like he
was cutting paper?"
"As near as l can make out" Mary
answered slowly, the person who
stole the animal cut the rope with
scissors and had a mark of some kind
on the back OF her hand"
"A mark" the policeman jumped
eagerly at the word. Say. was 1t a
red mark-a Red Circle?" he asked
Pietro eXcitedly.
Seeing that at last someone was
beginning to understand, Pietro went
back into Italian hysteria. The
policeman turned again to Mary.
You've been on the beach some
time, haven't you? Do you remember
seeing anyone go past with a mon
key?"
Certainly" the old woman replied
promptly. Il remember distinctly
seeing a young woman on the beach
with a monkey"
do you remember which way she
went?" he asked.
Mary, apparently thought deeply for
a moment
yes" she said at last, very DELHI
erately, "she went down the beach in
that direction"
Her finger pointed directly opposite
to the way June had gone
Thank you," said the policeman.
Motioning to Pietro, he started on
