TOWN OF AVOCA
WAS PAINTED RED

| Tuesday morning when our citizens
came down town they were very much
surprised to find the windows of the
business section painted all over, tell
ing the voters to vote for Harding
| Where Meredith's pictures were hang
ing Harding's pictures were pasted
over them. On DR.. Pomeroy's new
building they wrote vote for Hard
ing" On the Journal-Herald windows
they called us a "Knocker" Boys
what we have to say in our columns
you know who is back of it but you
took the dark of night to come around
and do your knocking. The painting
and lettering had the ear marks of Ed
Harris, who recently returned from
Colorado Springs. where the courts
of that state gave his wife a seperate
maintainance-why, we will not say.
The other members of the painting
gang-well, we are ashamed of them
we do not care to let the out of town
public know who they are-because
they have a pretty good name away
from home as gentlemen.
This is the second time our town
has been painted up. and we are here
TO say the next time every man who
takes part in il, his name and occupa-
ton will be made public.
Mayor lIo informs the Journal-Her-
aid reporter that he had the names of
each one of the gang, and that he
would have them arrested hut there
was no city ordinance against such
conduct, but each individual who had
their place "dabbed up" could bring
suit. The boys agreed to clean up all
places if not arrested. DR.. Pomeroy's
place was cleaned up, C. C. Wendt's
clock will have to be repainted. All
places where the stick paste was used
were cleaned off except the Journal
Herald windows, which the night
watch Informed us they would do, but
up to date no one has appeared

EVERYBODY HAPPY

| Nearly everybody who is at all op-
timistically inclined is in position to
secure a gain of comfort from the
national election.
| Democrats are happy over re-
suit of the election because President
Wilson not only has majority of the
electoral votes, but plurality of the
popular vote, and about three-fourths
of the geographical area of the Unit
ed States is listed as democratic. Re
publicans are pleased because they so
nearly came back" after the disaster
of 1912 and because the figures show
that from a population standpoint a
little over half of the people in the
United States live in the states that
went republican on November z. Pro-
Ihibitionists are content because four
states, certainly, and two probably
were added to the prohibition list in
the election and because j. Frank
Hanly and Ira Landrith polled a to-
tai of over 100000 votes. or twice
as many as any prohibition president
ial candidate ever secured before.
Vets are thankful they retained Mis-
souri, and California. The socialists
haven't been heard from yet. but
there isn't the slightest doubt in the
world that they will bob up with some
optimistic symptom.
And then the republicans are hap
by over the prospect that they will
have maiority, though a slight one,
in the next house of representatives
The progressives, prohibitionists and
independents are all pleased over the
possibility that they will hold the bal
ance of power in the next house and
the democrats are thankful it is no
worse.
Equal suffragists are delighted over
the election of woman to the ma
tional house of representatives and
the ants of are complacent because
of the defeat of equal suffrage in S.
Dakota.

NO CHANGE IN
CALIFORNIA VOTE

Whether the highest vote for re-
publican elector I'm California was
greater than the lowest vote for a
democratic elector was about the on
| ly question of interest to California
politicians yesterday. If this should
prove to be the case. the states del
egation in the electoral college may
be split. The republicans admittedly
unearthed nothing in the course of
the day to indicate for or against such
prospect.
Sidney NJ. Van Wyck, Jr., chair
man of the democratic campaign
committee, worked all day bringing
in the reports from little counties
in the mountains where the county
clerks had finished their count, and
also succeeded in getting one or two
| fair-sized counties. His total for
twenty counties showed that the
totals for the lowest democratic cleo
tor in each county added 6,466 votes
more than the totals for the highest
republican elector in the same count
ties.
This count will show, when COM
pleted, the Wilson electoral vote at
its lowest ebb, Mr. Van Wyck said.
That is to say, if the lowest democrat
ic totals are finally ahead of the high
est republican totals, solid delega-
ton in the electoral college is assur-
ed. If the highest republican totals
exceed the lowest democratic totals
this would not necessarily indicate
that any republican elector wins be-
cause the lowest democrat and the
highest republican are not the same
in all counties.
Republicans and democrats alike
manifested surprise at rumors, trac-
able in all cases to the east, that
considerable error had been found
somewhere in the state, in counting
the votes.

A dozen or more of the friends OF

been accustomed to set aside one day
in the year wherein 20 review the

This season is again with US. The
fruits of the broad acres of our fair
domain have been garnered in. The
warehouses and graneries are fairly
bursting with their contents and pros

Preside.
Our president and the governors of
the various states have designated
the day on which the people shall

gratitude for these blessings.
And to the many positive and ma
terial blessings which have been ours
there is added on this occasion the
especial blessing that we people
have escaped the madness that has
fallen as blight upon our neighbors
and kinsmen across the waters. The
magnitude of that blessing we cannot
at this time begin to estimate.
But while we have these palpable
blessings for which to be thankful,
we have other things for which to ex-
press our gratitude, and these ante

piness and prosperity, our peace and
safety. We have to be thankful that

hearts to lay the foundations Of our
grand nation.

Another "Cleanest Town" con-
test is on for this year. See
article in another column.
Of course the ladies of Okolo-
ma will enter with some hope of
winning if the general public
will lend a helping hand. This
should be done now. The city
has just accepted the sanitary
sewer system and has passed an
amendment to the charter re-
quiring all houses within a GER
tain distance of the mains to con-
meet by the first of January next.
1t is useless to wait until the last
minute. Connect now and add
to the health and beauty of the
town and help the ladies win the
contest. Especially should
everything in the business sec
ton be connected at once. Who
will be the first to open a ditch ?
The house passed a bill
authorizing the city fathers to
make use of funds left from the
sewer bonds to improve the
electric light plant. 1t is to be
hoped that the senate will also
pass the bill. Then we can soon
have a day current and some
badly needed street lights.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

MISS DOUBLE M.-Your hair ought to
stop right away from falling II you will use
my hair formula. This has certainly stirred
up things among my friends. Every one
who has tried It says 1t is perfectly as
found ng how II makes hair grow and stops
hair falling Get one ounce Of beta -quinol
from your druggist and mix 1t with half a
pint OF water and hulf pint OF Alcohol. II
you prefer. use n full pint OF bay rum in
stead Of water and alcohol. Use this every
day, and your dream Of long. silky, beauti-
full hair will come true.
MISS HAPPY knew that hair formula
would make your hair grow fast. Now about
the dandruff. You know soap anG the COM
mon shampoos you buy all have alkali. That
hurts hair and never stops dandruff. Try a
teaspoonful of eggol In half cup of water
and see them shrivel and dissolve away. I
all scale, grease and dandruff It's wonder
full for that. Eggol will cost twenty five
cents-enouRh TO make about twelve sham
poos. There's nothing as good.
MISS M. C. H.-one. two, three. That's
almost as fast and as easy as my superfluous
hair formula gets rid of superflous hairs.
You never saw anything like IL in your life.

T0DAY'S AID TO BEAUTY
