a Comprehensive Straw Vote.

The United Drug company. is
conducting straw vote of the
country, which will probably be
the largest of its kind. ever un-
|dertaken. There are 1000 Rex
|all dealers in the United States
and each of the dealers are ask
ling twenty or more men each day
to register their vote on presi-
dent. These votes are compiled
each evening and sent to the Uni
ted Drug company at its home Of
flee in Boston. All these votes
will be compiled at the end of
each week and the results sent
to the various dealers.
Four years ago i5,0O0,0O0
votes were cast and if all the
Rexall dealers in the country
send in twenty votes each day it
will mean 100000 votes a day or
2,5OO,O0O votes in the eighteen
remaining days. This means
that a definite basis will be de-
termined for over one-.fifth of the
votes which will be cast on cleo
ton day.
Nothing on such large scale
has ever been undertaken before,
as it will show the sentiment
over the entire country, not in
any local community. News
paper straw votes must neces-
sarily come from a restricted
community in which the paper
circulates, but this vote will
cover the entire United States
Robert w. Harvey started his
voting yesterday and when the
votes were counted last night
there were ten for Hughes and
ten for Wilson. Today's vote.
showed a little moro spirit and
there We're seven for Hughes and
nineteen for Wilson. The result
of this vote will be published each
day in The Times, so an idea of
local results may be gained and
when the reports being coming
from Boston they, too, will he
published.

YESTERDAY At THE
oHRlsTlAN oHuRch.

b
Sunday was a record breaker
for the church, with an overflow
ing bible school at 10 a. M. and
at A a. m. a sermon by Rev.
Farley on the Religion of Child
hood, which was closely followed
by his large audience. The choir
rendered good music, with the
Misses Dollie Hardy and Ceceila
Faith singing a beautiful duet
and Myrtle Harris presiding at
the organ. After the congrega-
tiOn was dismissed came the bas-
ket dinner in the dining room of
the church, To say it was a
feast scarcely defines it. The
fame of these good ladies in pre-
pairing things to please the pal
ate has gone out far and wife and
as usual this one kept up the rec
ord resembling somewhat in
olden times the loaves and fishes.
1t was day long to be remem-
ybered.
Another large audience greeted
the speaker in the evening, his
subject being Gods Definition
|of Sim He confined his re-
marks closely to the bible and
what God tells us to do, urges us
all to study the good book, for it
is made so plain none need err.
At the close of his splendid SER
mon two people came forward,
showing their willingness to lead
Christian lives.
This evening his subject will
DE Seeking the Lost. Come to
the church to hear this sermon.
You will be benefited.

Light Ordinance Passed.

AT a meeting Of the city coun-
ell Saturday the light ordinance
fixing the amount the company
may charge for light in the city
was passed, four councilmen
voting for it and one against.
Under this ordinance light users
will have to pay 10 cents per Kill
owatt for the first twenty kill
owatts, 8 1-2 cents per kilowatt
for the next ten and, Z cents per
kilowatt for all over that, with
a minimum charge of IS cents
per month. The company made
"a counter proposal Of 10 1.2
cents per kilowatt for the first
ten kilowatts and 10 cents for all
over that, with a minimum charge
of 81, and in addition offered the
city twenty-five additional street
lights, which are badly needed.
The council thought this COM
promise rate still too high, 50
]passed the ordinance.
Manager w. E. McFadden said
this morning that the rate was
too low for them to operate un.
der and that the matter would be
taken to- the courts for settle-
ment, SO we shall see what we
shall see.

THE REVIVAL MEETING.

IN spite of the rain good
sized audience was out last night,
manifesting the growing inter
est in the revival campaign now
being conducted at the Church OF
Christ. Mr.. Sansbury was back
in the service after Sunday spent
i'm his work at Logan. His voice
was greatly improved. The song
service was an inspiration.
The boys and girls were pres
ent TO help with the junior
chorus. Mr.. Crewdson is meet
ling The boys and girls each even
ing after school for about twenty
minutes, getting them ready for
childrens' night Saturday even
ing, when the Junior chorus will
occupy the platform and lead the
song service. They expect to
have at least seventy-five in this
chorus. Saturday night will be
one of the great nights of the
meeting.
Mr. Farley spoke last evening
from the text Luke 1870, "I'he
Son of Man is Come to Seek and
TO Save Chat Which Was Lost.
This text implies that the
world without Christ is lost.
Jesus was no fool. He did not
lcaSe heaven and come TO this
world on wild goose chase" ;"
!te had more sense than to be
EiiEting for something that was
ict lost Lost is not a popular
|werc III is not elegant, nor
pleasant, nor even polite, but
Christ used it and acted as if ii
wee true And if any one ever
understood humanity and it's
needs he did. Yet how carless we
sometimes are. We are concern
ed about q thousand things, but
|often pass by the most import
ant thing Of all. Sometimes we
get concerned when it is too late.
1t was so with David when Alb
solom was dead. Why did David
lament so bitterly? Because Alb
solom had died in rebellion
against his father, his king and
his Jod, and his father was
largely to blame, and he knew it.
But God cares and because he
cares he gave his son 10 seek and
to save the lost.
The subject tonight is "Ye
Must Be Born Again" The
meetings will continue right on
every night until other announce
ment is made. The responses to
4 the invitation have already be-
gun.

High School Honors.

In accordance with the custom
Established last year we herein
publish the standings Of those
tstudents who have the highest in
each class. The parents and
friends of these students should
feel proud of their achievements.
Industry is responsible for them
No matter how great the natural
Liability, no student can stand at
the head of his class without
lsteady, consistent work. We do
| not believe that social affairs,
which keep students up late, ex-
haust their energies and divert
their attention during the school
week, are compatible with such
work. Observation of the school
work and an examination of the
|records prove this to be a fact.
In connection with school affairs
OF social nature the students
have cordially co-operated with
the school authorities in setting
them OH Friday and Saturday
fnights. In behalf of these stu
dents we respectfully request and
feel confident of the hearty Co
operation of the parents in this
matter.
We would be very glad to have
the patrons of the school visit US
frequently. Such visits serve
two purposes. They inform the
parents of the conditions in the
school and they serve to stimulate
and TO encourage both student
land instructor to the best pos
|sible effort.
The grades given are as fol-
lows:
Seniors. Ave.
Aleta Roberts ............96 90 f-2
Earl Tamisiea .96 t-2
juniors:
Otto Chaloupka ................. 90 81
Sophomores:
Florence Foreman ...--9A i-2
Freshman:
Lorraine Tamisiea -..... 90 ga
The competition is keen. Had
we attempted to give the grades
which opproximated those the list
would have been long.
