HOW FARMER BOTKINS ROOST-
Err OUT-CLASSES THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS

The recent election was, as we al
know, an event of national interest
and concern The great cities of the
country through electrical signals
planned to give remote communities
election news first hand. Little did
they dream that telegraph and tele-
phone, yea, the entire Bell system
and the Associated Press, was to be
out classed by common country
rooster.
Farmer B. F. Botkins lives Az
miles east of Montezuma. This man
and l are warm friends. But he is
a loyal Democrat, while 1 have been
a lifelong Republican. The chances
are how to get the election news first
hand. But strange to say, but new
err r-the-less true, the Botkin home
! knew the election result before the
votes were all counted.
This is how it happened; a quiet
| evening had passed. Reading and
meditation had been the order of the
hour. The clock hands indicated the
| time for retiring. Looking up from
my reading matter 1 noticed the long,
long face of my host.
Goodness me, Botkins; you feel
pretty blue before you hear the re-
suits"
He replied. "I just wonder how
it will go, anyhow"
Hard to tell" said 1.
I had just started for my room
when 10 and behold my heart al
most quit beating | stopped short!
What is the matter" said Botkins
with sympathetic surprise.
"Matter!" said 1; matter enoughi
1t is all over now!"
What do you mean?" he asked.
Il mean, sir, that Woodrow Wilson
is elected President of the U. S. A.
'How's that?"
l replied: THAT old Democratic |
rooster of yours has just let out three
of the greatest crows in succession
ever heard in my life. This means
Ohio has gone Democratic and Wood
row Wilson is elected" And so
they did
Botkins says If he and Lindy only
knew which one of the roosters did
the growing he might live until the
scales dropped off his legs. Also no
Republican preacher should ever
gnaw on his bones. For said he,
ny Democratic bird out-classed the
Bell system and the Associated Press.
