Election Is
In Doubt
Presidential Race Narrowing To
Close Margins
Entire Republican State and
County Ticket Is Elected
State Goes DRY" and Buries
Home Rule"

As the returns keep coming in slowly
the presidential race between Wilson
and Hughes seems narrowing to closer
points and the final electoral vote is
going to be small whichever way it
goes. In fact it may be necessary for
a recount in some of the close states
before either side will be satisfied. AT
the headquarters of both the big poiti-
cal parties rather wild claims are made,
and it might be well to remember that
anything going over the wires these
days is from campaign headquarters
and will naturally be more or less
biased

County Returns Incomplete

For some reason no efforts were
made to get full reports of the election
from the twenty-five precincts in
CharlevoiX County so that any kind
of a report would be far from salts
factory. In a number of precincts, the
three in East Jordan included, the elec-
ton boards completed their work and
the reports were sealed before tally
OF the votes were made for publication.
No definite figures will be available
until the County Canvassing Board
meets next week and makes the final
returns on the votes cast.

Odd Places to Hide Cash.

The woman who, as just revealed In

looks around for the most unlikely

\co-0peraiive Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an.
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress Of 1915 which shows great In
crease in the butter production OF the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed So carloads.
-. According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
Increase of over 100000 lbs. Of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
Increase Of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $427,OO0. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,15O, 444 lbs.
gnd it brought an average price of 23c
Z per h.; Of creamery butter $3.50, 667
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
4 duction was ,725 lbs. which sold at
4 an average price Of 15c-the total
n value of these three products is given
as $2,760698, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at 1925, $3.50
and the cream at $15S,827 the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
PIC per lb. and Of sweet cream at SIC
per lib. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100, 1872
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,957 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631, OO5, which is an in.
crease of 100000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons rate of 271kc per
lb. for butter fat and had profit re-
naming over all expenses Of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $81 III and manu-
featured 256,0OO lbs. butter and $4,000
LBS. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28A cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta is we'll indi-
Gated by the growth of prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525, 900 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found market in all
parts of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.
