SECURE AGENCY
FOR GREAT CAR
Adelmann Brothers Will
Handle Stearns- Knight
in This Territory.

Backed up by 10 years of the best
automobile engineering experience of
pioneer experts in developing and per-
fecting the Stearns- knight motor cars
Adeimann Brothers of Boise are to be
complimented for securing the agency
for this high grade car for the man of
moderate means
Until 1916 the famous Stearns-
Knight automobiles were luxury far
above the average mans reach. In the
quality of design. performance, work.
manship and material the Stearns-
Knight stands unparalleled among
American made automobiles In value
it Is comparable only with the finest
and highest priced cars of foreign
manufacture.
The Stearns- Knight manufacturers
had long been cognizant of the de-
mand for a type of high grade car at
moderate price but not until 1914 did
they realize their dream. The manu-
facture of this new Stearns- Knight
car with the adoption of the Knight
type power plant to their standard
chassis required the best engineering
ability and experience procurable to
make the necessary structural changes

er model. To test the popular demand
for this new type of car the company
produced it in limited quantities only
in 1916 with results that were highly
pleasing to the manufacturers and ad-
ditional factory space was Immediately
planned for production in increased
quantities, with the result that this
years model Is nearly $500 lower in
price-a high grade car in every sense
at a price within reach Of the average
man.
The new model Stearns- Knight
which Adelman Brothers received a
few days ago has features that are
calling the attention of automobile
owners and prospective buyers in this
section. Much interest is shown in
the new Knight sleeve valve, much
improved type over the old Stearns
poppet valve and in the leather faced

Emmett, April 1.-THE big storage
and packing house being built here for
the Emmett Fruit Growers union, a
branch of the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors, is rapidly nearing compile
ton. The basement is 50x100 feet with
a seven foot ceiling. The basement is
built of concrete. The superstructure
is being built of wood. 1t is 40x100
feet, and has a 10-foot platform under
roof. The platform runs the length
Of the building, and faces the railroad
siding.
The superstructure is being sealed
inside and outside with heavy insula-
ton paper, making it useful for cold
storage purposes. The cost of the
building completed will be about $4,000.
Berry & Campbell are experimenting
the construction work. B. B. Davis is
the local manager.
Tom Hance. the deputy fruit in
spector of this district, stated that the
fruit growers Of this section are talk
ing better care of their orchards this
spring, in the way of effective prun-
ing, spraying and cultivation than ever
before.
The belief is held that the fruit
growers of Idaho will have a profitable
season this year, due to the great pros
perity prevailing throughout the east
ern half of this nation. Prosperity
there means that the people will be In
position to buy Idaho's fancy fruits.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The following is taken from the
Missouri School Journal for Novem-
Der: "Are you following the course
of study, or are you merely drifting?
Are you moving, and if SO in what
direction? Are you part OF sys-
tenn, or only an impeachment to the
wheels of progress?"
Secretary E. M. Garter of the NJ
S. T. writes that prospects. are fine
for the Convention and that the ad-
vance enrolment has broken all for
mer records. Everything indicates
that st. Francois county will have a
record breaking representation.
Inspector w. N. Sellman of the
State Department of Education spent
two days in st. Francois county dur
ing the last week. He visited the fol-
lowing High Schools: Leadwood, Bis
marck, Doe Run and Knob Lick. Mr..
Sellman was formerly superintendent
of the DeSoto schools.
Miss Archie Mathews, member OF
the faculty of the Elvins High School,
reports that at a recent carnival CIV
en- by the school management the at
tendance was most gratifying and
that everyone seemed to have good
time. They had lunch counter, can
dy booth, "Forty Famous Pictures, a
number of penny fortune dens, and
the most popular features were "A
Trip to the Moon," and "The Gobblin's
Cave. They took in 1888 and
cleared $26.65.
Miss Marguerite Warren, Principal
of the Esther High School, writes
"The past week has been rather a
busy one. Several days were devot-
ed to examinations, which kept both
teachers and pupils busily employed

A WOMAN IN CONGRESS

For the first time i'm the history of
our country a woman will occupy a
seat in the National House of Repre-
sentatives. Miss jeanette Rankin Of
Montana was elected Representative
from her district on the Republican
ticket. Her father was lumberman
and ranchman, and she is said to
possess the verve, independence and
confidence in herself of one reared
close to nature.
When asked what she expected to
do she replied: "What do l expect to
do? Why, expect to represent the
people of Montana, or course, but l
shall lose no opportunity to advocate
the measures the women of America
want and are entitled to; still / real
ize that my first duty is to all the
people, and l will do my best We
Judge she is at no loss as a speaker,
as she further says, am have to make
speeches, OF course, nut that doeSh l
bother me in the least, and we pre-
dict that she will not have any trouble
in catching the Speakers eye" when
she wants to address the House.
Doubtless, realizing that she is q
pioneer woman in national legisla-
ton, she will do her best to create a
good impression and thus make wo-
men members of the house so popular
that other States may be persuaded to
follow Montana's example. Woman
suffrage, like prohibition, is marching
OH, and we mere men might just as
well bow to the inevitable and watch
the procession with good grace in its
forward movement.

PROHIBITION GAINING

Prohibition has made long stride
in this State since the submission OF
prohibition amendment six years
ago. Outside the large cities, the
counties then returned a majority of
92,036 against prohibition, and IN
GLIDING the large cities the majority
against was -218,125.
The vote of the State outside of st.
Louis on the prohibition amendment
at the recent election, with Is coun-
ties known to be "dry" not reported,
shows majority of 1873 for prohi-
bition, gain in "dry" sentiment OF
107,174 votes. Even Jackson county
in which Kansas City is located, went
for prohibition.
In st. Louis the majority against
was over $4,000, so large indeed that
there is little doubt that all was moi
straight. Prohibitionists, however
are much encouraged by their large
gains and a majority of 1888 out
side that city, which will be increased
by the 16 counties not reported at thi:
writing, as we'll as the fact that las
week six States went "dry", making q
States altogether that are in the pro
hibition column.

A LITTLE BOUQUET

The Democrats of st. Francois
county have something more on which
to congratulate themselves than the
splendid local victory that they won on
the 7th, and that is on the general
harmony that prevailed in the rank
and file throughout the campaign, the
clean fight which the men on the tick
ct made, and the perfect organization
of their forces.
fractional differences, if there are
any left in the party, were held IN
abeyance and not permitted to show
themselves. Perhaps the local or
ganization never entered upon a cam
paign in better fettle or shape fol
good work, and throughout every
thing was well managed. The Coun'
tv Central Committee did all that
could be expected of it. Chairman
Parkhurst Sleeth was new at the
work, but his energy was untiring
and his Judgment, not only in select
ing but in getting the speakers HI
thought would do the most good
proved excellent. He was ably as
sisted by Secretary Francis A. Ben
ham, who kept busy and his eye
open as to general details, and tn
other members of the committee
cheerfully backed them up in all thei
arrangements.
The Democrats all over the count,
showed the most lively interest at al
times, encouraging the committee an
the ticket, and for this the committe
and the successful candidates are mos
heartily thankful to them, as well a
to the labor organizations of the Lea
Belt and number of former Reput
licans who helped to swell the Demo
cratic vote.

A CLOSE HOUSE

The House of Representative Of the
next Congress will be very closely
divided between the two big parties.
Although Mr.. Wilson has not only a
majority of the electoral votes but a
majority in the neighborhood of half
a million of the popular vote, the Re-
publicans are claiming that they will
have control of the House. They fig
ure that they have elected PIT Of the
436 members of Congress, and that
with three of the five Independent
members who have generally acted
with them, even if they should not
win in either of the three doubtful dis
tricts not yet decided, they will be
able to elect a Speaker and organize
the House.
On the other hand, Democratic
House leaders dispute the claim of the
Republicans, and that what they call
a conservative list of members-elect
gives the Democrats 219 members, one
more than majority. Also they ex-
pect that Meyer London of New York
the Socialist, who has nearly always
lined up with the Democrats, and the
/ two Minnesota Independents, will be
with them in the organization of the
House. But so close is the margin
either way that. the full facts will moi
be known until the official counts are
completed in a number>of closely con
tested districts.
Speaker Champ Clark's friends il
this State are naturally much interest
ed in the situation, for a Republican
majority in the house, however small
would initiate against his reelection
as Speaker. Some of the Democrat,
House leaders are very hopeful on thii
point. Besides claiming that they vii
have 219 members, they do not be
lieve that the Independents will Vot,
for Congressman Mann for Speaker
and he will be the Republican nomi
nee for the position, as he is at pres
emit the minority leader of the House
And then they claim that there ar,
several Republican members whit
/, would not vote for Mr.. Mann, espec
tally some of those from the West
Still the situation is little too crit
cal for Mr.. Clark's friends-who in
clude the whole Democratic party ant
not few Republicans-to feel com
Portable.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-11-17

With the probability that the Re-
publicans may have a bare majority
in the House of Representatives OF
the next Congress, though the Demo
cratic House leaders claim that it
will be the other way round, President
Wilson is likely to be somewhat hand
icapped in carrying out all his plans
of reform and progressive legislation.
However, some of the Republican
members from the West will be con-
strained by the strong sentiment in
their States to vote with the Demo-
Gratis on many measures that viii come
up for consideration.

MINORITY PRESIDENTS

Contrary to the general expecta-
ton, Mr.. Wilson in the election last
week carried not only majority of
the electoral vote, but majority Of
the popular vote as we'll. From the
returns it is estimated that his popu-
lar vote will exceed that Of Mr..
Hughes somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of half a million votes. But it
is not an Unusual thing for candi-
date to get majority of the electoral
vote and fall short of a majority of
the popular vote.
This was the case four years ago,
when Mr.. Wilson received 435 cleo
toral votes, but his popular vote was
only 6,293,019, while the combined
vote of Taft, Roosevelt, the Socialist,
Prohibition and Socialist Labor can
didates for President was 7,743,523, or
nearly a million and half more than
Mr.. Wilson received.
We note the following other in
stances where the President was elect
ed without a majority of the popular
vote.
In 1874, James X. Polk was elected
President, receiving ITO Of the 275
electoral votes, but the combined pop
ular vote of Henry Clay (Whig) and
James G. Birney (Liberan was a.
1875 more than Folks.
In 1874, Zachary Taylor (Whig)
received 1913 of the 200 electoral votes
while the combined vote of Cass CD
and Van Buren, free Soil) exceeded
Taylor's popular vote by 211,7O6.
In 1876, Samuel J. Tilden received
4,284,SS5, votes, while Rutherford B
Hayes received 4,033,950, or 100000
less Of the popular vote than Tilden
There were two other candidates fol-
President that year-Peter Cooper
| (Greenback) and Green C. Smith (Pro
hibition). The combined popular vote
of Tilden, Cooper and Smith was A,
1886 or 346,412 more than Hayes
and yet a partisan commission ap
pointed by Congress after its fail
ure to agree on the count, by a vot
of to 7, gave Hayes 1856 electora
votes and Tilden 1874, declaring hin

rageous theft of the Presidency b,
more than half of the American PEG
pie and won for Mr.. Hayes the so
briquet of Ruther-fraud B. Hayes.
In 1880, James A. Garfield wa
elected President, although he re
ceived minority of the popular vot'
but 214 of the 1863 electoral votes. TIL
combined popular vote Hancock Cd,
Weaver (Greenback) and Dow (Prc
hibition) exceeded that of Garfield b
197,92O. ".h
Benjamin II. Harrison, elected
1883, was another minority Presider
= counted by the popular vote. He II
ceived 95,713 less votes than Clevt
land and 345,620 less than the con
bined vote of Cleveland and Fis
(Prohibition), but he got 233 Of tn
401 electoral votes.
President Wilson for second teri
receives a majority of both the elet
toral and popular vote.
