GINGER BROWN.
There was little ginger boy;
His name was ginger Brown,
And all the lasses called for him ,aa
Whene're they went to town.
One day the baker gave him
A pair of currant eyes,
Which was to all the girls and boys
A very great surprise.
And the baker gave him
A little raisin nose,
And filled his mouth with currants,
IT'S thus the story goes.
Poor Ginger had no teeth at all;
And so he couldn't eat;
But the girls and boys had teeth
enough
A-grinding Ginger's meat.
One day blue-eyed Susan came,
And she could hardly wait
until she put her nickel down.
Before biting Ginger's face.
And then she ate his hands and arms,
And Withal his nose;
When last | saw poor ginger,
She was eating up his toes.-A. M. S.

THIRD INSTAIINfF-NT OF THE
HERAIADHS COUNTRYWIDE pOII,

Abundant opportunity for speCuts-
ton by partisans and political experts
Is furnished by the third instalment
OF the Herald's countrywide poll,
published today Of the 107,403 bal
lots recorded, Mr.. Hughes has A
plurality Of 4,a26 over Mr. Wilson. but
no particular significance attach to
that fact. Only when the vote is sub
1ected to analysis based on the pre-
vious vote of each State and upon the
representation Of that State in the
Electoral College. can there be found
the straws that show the way the
wind is blowing.
The best indication OF the present
trend can be obtained from the per-
centage table. On the total vote, this
shows that whereas Mr.. Wilson had
.45s OF the total vote shown on Octo-
Der l. and Mr.. Hughes had .526. Mr..
Wilson's vote on October Is Is AGA
and that OF Mr.. Hughes .511. This
Is taken as indicating that. so far
as the ballots recorded are concerned.
there is a slight gain for Mr. Wilson.
and a slight loss for Mr.. Hughes in
the third instalment as compared with
the first. In some of the Western
States recent straw votes have indi-
Gated an increase In the Socialist
vote.
The Herald is leaving it to each
reader to do his own predicting at
this stage. Its political experts have
become convinced by their study of
the straw votes that the contest is go
ing to be decided by New York,
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio, or by some
one of these States. These are in
what might be called the very doubt
ful'' column.
on course all the doubtful and all
the very doubtful States may in the
end be found in the same column. in
which event the victory-for some
body-would be overwhelming. How
ever, there is no landslide In sight

France Copying Russia.

Tho Paris correspondent of the
journal Of the American Medical As
ISOLATION reports that the hygenic
commission OF the Chamber Of Depu-
ties, believing that the project adopted
by Parliament to suppress the priv
ileges of the small distiller and to
impose a surtax on alcohol lis insult
ficient has charged it's reporter, Mr.
Schmidt, to prepare a bill esta bIi sh-
ing the monopoly of the wholesale
and retail sale of alcohol.
The proposition Is said to have been
inspired by the example of Russia,
which had government monopoly
and substituted prohibition at the be-
ginning of the war
The correspondent also reports a
recent meeting of the national league
against alcoholism, presided over by
Prof. Deboe, from which a request
went to the Minister Of Public In
struction calling attention to the i'm
portance of anti-alcoholism teachin <
in the schools and the desirability of
issuing a circular drawing the atten-
ton of the teaching stan to the i'm
portance Of the matter. The ministry
has promised to send out such cir
| cular, particularly to the primary
schools. The same delegation submit
ted to the ministry Of the marine a
complete program for Anti-alcoholis
propaganda among the personnel OF
| the fleet and the workmen of the dock
| yard.
The league intends also to under
take a campaign In the country in
favor of total prohib!taon.-The Ma
| tional Daily.

The W. c. T. U. building on the
Fair grounds has been thronged with

and unique picture-tags bearing the
face of pretty little boy and the
lettering the boy versus the saloon"
Large quantities of temperance prop
uganda literature and facts bearing
on the paramount issue have been
distributed. The large Illuminated

and some placarded on the outside
OF the building attracted a good deal
OF attention. old Glory fioated from

the slogan of the temperance army
is "a stainless flag and a saloonless

The W. c. T. L. work on the Fair
grounds was the exclusive enterprise
OF the Richmond union. which has.
unaided, provided and paid for the

large amount of literature which was
purchased direct from the national

the city police was 100 per month.
IN 1915 the total number OF arrests
recorded on the police docket was

city was partially free during the days
that saloons were closed began float

by this class city road work gang

LYNCHBURG MAY SOLVE
CITY WATER PROBLEM SOON

IIynchburg. Oct. 15.-It IL expected
that the Common Council will meet
early during the coming week to take
up the problems of the water depart
ment in the hope of arriving at a
solution. The Council will have the
James River emergency plan before
it as 1t was approved this week by the
Board of Aldermen. This provides
for fltering the present supply and
taking the supply from the James
River, In case oftrouble with the grav-
ity pipe line. The plan is designed to
cost $225.00O. This plan has all along
been favored by the Aldermen. but the
Common Council has voted 1t down In
the hope of securing larger storage
facilities in the city to use water from
that in case of trouble with the main
which brings the water from the
mountains twenty-five miles. The two
branches were in q deadlock for two
years and there are strong hopes now
that some definite action can be taken
in the near future.
