LIMITS SPRINKLING
TO SPECIFIED HOURS

The large consumption Of water dur
ing the last few days has prompted
Commissioner W. A. Macbeth TO call
the attention of the public TO an ordi-
nance which specifies certain hours
when water from the city mains may
be used for sprinkling purposes.
Sprinkling hours are from to 7 in
the morning and from Z to S in the
evening. II is further stipulated that
under no circumstances shall a hose be
used without a nozzle, or spray. No
nozzle may be used which exceeds one
fourth of an inch in diameter
Water consumption in Moline Tues
day sent records flying. There were
exactly 100000 gallons Of water used
in the city Such an unusual consump-
ton taxes the fitering plant 10 capac-
ity, and should it increase would mean
that raw water would be pumped into
the mains. In order 10 avoid such a
condition Commissioner Macbeth has
decided that the ordinance on sprink-
ling must be enforced.

Children Nav Help.

Mrs. Warren Eastman suggested
that there be a pIaygrO nd day, in
which those playground children who
can shall each give to the supervisor
nickel to the big new house which
will make another place for the story
telling in the winter or for the things
mother is most deeply interested in.
This would give the children new
sense of proprietOrship in the big
building which is to rise some time,
and there is no enthusiasm as great
as the enthusiasm of children.
AT yesterdays meeting it was de-
cided to make f. f. Morgan, agent
through whom the purchase of size
was made, agent of the association and
to send him a note of appreciation for
his part in arranging the transfer. A
letter of thanks will also be sent Uni
tarians for their wish to help.

 OF PRESIDENT
 IS DECISIVE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - Secre- tary Humility tonight sent the fol- lowing message to President Wilson at Williamstown, Mass:
 "Election returns conclusively dem onstrate that your victory at the polls is clear and decisive. You have car ried two-thirds of the states of the union. The four years of your ad- ministration have brought you a plu- raiity of 2,666,614 more votes than when you were first elected in 1912. This is the greatest increase given to an American president for a second term since the Civil war.
 "Your vote last Tuesday was 2,O60,- 7OS more than ever previously record ed for a Democratic candidate and, despite character of opposition, is the largest vote ever received by a presi- dent from the people of this country, 952,559 more than the total Taft Roosevelt vote in 1912. You have a popular plurality of 4O3, ,312, according to bulletins received from the Asso- ciated Press"

PREPARING ID CONTEST
 ELECTION

NEW YORK, Nov. g. - Lawyers high in the councils of the Republican party were prominent figures late to- day in conferences with William R. Wilcox, chairman of the national committee.
 George W. Wickersham, former attorney general of the United States, and Everett Colby, prominent New Jersey attorney, after calling at Re publican headquarters, visited Charles E. Hughes with Chairman Wilcox and George W. Perkins.
 No statement was forthcoming as to the subjects under discussion, but it was admitted the national commit tee was making preparations to insti- ute proceedings for a recount of the votes in the states where the result was close, but where President Wilson had won on the face of incomplete and unofficial returns.
 Chairman Wilcox said the Republi- cans undoubtedly would call for a re- count, 'in all those states where the result is close" In the list he in- cluded California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico and North Dakota.
 Mir. Perkins declared every precau- tion would be taken "to guard against ballot box frauds"
 The Democratic national committed also appeared to be making prepara- tion for possible eventualities. Alton B. Parker, a former chief judge o1 New York state court of appeals and a former Democratic candidate fol president, conferred with Vance c Mccormick.

REELECTION OF
 WILSON PLEASES
 ENGLISH EDITORS

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The reelection of President Wilson is welcomed by the Weekly Nation as an event favor able both to peace and to the cause of state liberty, and the paper thinks that his election offers hopes of an earlier end to the war agony than any nation enduring it can yet foresee. William Henry Massingham, the edi- tor, in a special article referring to President Wilson, says:
 'The resources of the European statesmanship are not so rich, nor are it's personalities so inspiring that it can readily dispense with an acute, powerful, and in some degree, pro- phetic intellect at the head of the greatest power that the war has left standing and the most sympathetic to ourselves. I think that most men and women here who take more than cas- ual interest in American politics read the news of MT. Hughes earlier sue cess with sinking hearts,"
 The New Statesman regards it as better for the entente allies to have to to do with a president whose mind they know and who is unlikely to raise serious difficulties concerning the British blockade.
 Moreover" it adds, "Wilson is the more likely to be interested personally in the promotion of an Anglo-Ameri- can entente on the creation of which after the war so many important things will depend"

MOUNTAINS LOCATED

Descriptions, attitudes and longi- tudes of 70 triangulation stations in Nevada, established in 1913 to 1915, inclusive, are given in bulletin 644-M of the United States Geological Sur vey, department of the interior. Most of these triangulation stations are on prominent mountain peaks, and each is permanently marked by a bronze tablet suitably inscribed. The true azimuth or direction and the distance in miles from each station to visible points are given. These positions serve as a basis for the topographic maps of the geological survey and may be used by local engineers as points to which to tie land or mineral surveys.

without a nurse crop was pastured during the latter part of the season. On August 27, 1915, yearling heifer was placed on the quarter-acre plat, where she remained until October 30, except during eight stormy days, when she was kept up and fed alfalfa hay at the rate of 20 pounds a day. While she was kept on pasture no hay or grain was fed. The quarter-acre plat furnished abundant feed for total of 58 days. The weight of the heifer at the beginning of the test was 616 pounds and at the close 790 pounds, the gain being IA pounds. If this be valued at 5 cents a pound, the gain made was worth S5.7O from the quar- ter acre, or at the rate of S22.sO per acre for the first years pasture.
 "At the time the test was started, the grasses averaged 10 to 12 inches in height and had formed heavy sod. While the growth of the grasses was very light during October, the heavy growth at the beginning of the test was sufficient to furnish grazing dur ing the entire period. The carrying capacity, which was at the rate of four yearling heifers per acre, was certain ly satisfactory.
 "The season appeared to be unusual ly favorable for starting grasses, and the growth made was unusually good. It is doubtful whether such good re- turns could be expected as a rule dur ing the first year. What the effect of the early grazing will be can not be finally determined until next sea- son, but at the close of the pasturing period in October, 1915, no bad eff fects were apparent"

RETURNS SHOW HOUSE ABOUT
 EVEN BREAK

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-With re- turns missing tonight from one only congressional district, the Republicans and Democrats each had elected 215 representatives. The vote in New Mexico, which is still in doubt, prob ably will determine which party is to have a plurality of one over the other. The present member from New Mex ico is Republican.
 The balance of power in the next house will be held by four men, one a Progressive-Protectionist from Lou isiana, one an Independent from Mass achusetts, one a Progressive from Minnesota, and the other a Socialist from New York.
 In addition to the hope of electing a congressman at large from New Mexico, the Democrats had one grain of comfort tonight. It was that an official count may disclose that Thomas J. Scully has been reelected from the third New Jersey district. They contend the chances were that Scully had been the victor by few votes over Robert Carson, his Repub- ican opponent, to whom the election previously had been conceded by a narrow margin.
 The house, according to the latest returns, will be divided politically as follows.

 B.

Be- fore leaving he would not commit him self, but intimated that there is good reason to believe he will return very soon, perhaps to remain permanently.
 During his stay Mir. Magofin has gone quietly about his work and has examined a number of properties, necessarily superfcially in the case of some. When he returns, as we feel safe in stating he will, we hope to be able to say that he has come to stay with us.

FL PASO, Tex, Nov. 1O.-An wooden crosses have been stolen from the graves of the municipal cemetary in Chihuahua City of Carranza sol- diers and others for firewood, foreign refugees who arrived at the border from Chihuahua City last night re- ported. The private cemetery where the foreign residents bury their dead is locked and guarded to prevent it being robbed of crosses, the foreign refugees declared.
 One refugee reported seeing two 'Carranza soldiers in uniform carrying a timber from the house of a refugee who had closed his home and gone to the border. Roofs were being taken from houses, the wooden slats taken from seats in the central plaza and guards had to be maintained night and day to prevent the soldiers and civilians from stealing the telephone and telegraph poles for fuel, the re- fugees said.
 Looting was reported in Chihuahua City by one refugee who said Carran- "a soldiers were involved. As General Trevino is unable to obtain silver with which to pay the soldiers, he is issuing double rations to them instead.

STEEL CARS MAKE
 tip CIRCUS TRAINS

Two special trains of all steel cars, the only all steel show train in the world, will bring Cole Bros. World Toured Shows and Trained Wild Ami nal Exhibition to Kingman November p for two performances, afternoon and night, rain or shine. The Cole Bros. Show is larger and greater than ever, with nothing old but everything new. The slogan of this mammoth or ganization is Different, Up-to-Date and Ahead of That"
 The Cole Bros. are the most pro- gressive and wide awake men in the show business; nothing escapes their eagle eye; their name stands for everything that is clean, wholesome meritorious, glorious and unblemished. Merit and magnitude always consider ed, suggestiveness and vulgarity rele- gated-the comfort of women and chil- dren their first duty.
 Hundreds of men and women per formers and workingmen are carried with this show, also three hundred horses and shetland ponies, droves of camels, herds of elephants, ten dens of open cages of man-eating lions, bengal tigers, leopards, partners, tigers, pumas, grizzly and polar bears, hippopotamus, ostriches, monkeys, horned horse, sacred OK, jaguars, and many others, including Cole Bros famous group of s5O,O00.0O black maned, African bred, performing lions. No show in the world has a finer travelling zoo than that owned by Cole Bros, the greatest perform ing savage wild beasts, the wonder and admiration of the 20th century.
 The monster street parade is the talk of every town visited, it is un- approachable in wealth and gorgeous glittering trappings, costly velvet costumes, sleek and shining Arabian horses, cutest shetland ponies donkeys, goats and strange wild ami mals, glistening gilded chariOts, four brass bands, Egyptian caravans droves of camels and dromidaries and funny clowns galore, making a princely display of a magnificent pageant.
 Truly the Cole Bros show is unique in it's magnitude of superb entertain ment. Leaving the wild animal de partment, great delight is furnished by an unprecedentally long list of European novelty acts. The Berne Brothers, the strongest men in the world, keep the audience spell bound with their many and varied feats of strength and wrestling matchesi Prof. Rogers trained ponies are the delight of the children. Captain Her. bert's educated scales and sea lions give an interesting exhibition; Mime Rogers high school act is most di- verting; the Whitties in their entranc- 1 ing iron jaw and human butterfly di- versity; the Reno-Myrtle trio of wire walkers and acrobats presenting an ar tistic array of new and novel feats in head and hand balancing; while an imported act of unusual excellence is that given by Prof. and Mrs. Ducan- der with the only horses in the world doing the Spanish tango; Billy Reid and his 20 comical clowns, and hun dreds of other attractions offer the big holiday treat of the season.
