THE ELECTION.

Returns available this "wednesday
morning indicate that Hughes and
Fairbanks have been elected presi-
dent and vice-president. New York,
Indiana and Illinois are all reported
to have given their vote to the Re-
pnblican nominees.
While returns from Missouri are
meager it looks like the Democrats
have carried the state by a safe ma
jority.
In Iron county the Democratic ma
jority is about 200; some of the local
candidates will probably have 300 ma
jority. The entire county ticket, with
the possible exception of DR.. G.. W.
Farrar, for Representative, is elected
The unofficial returns from all but
six precincts, Dunn's, Hogan, Red
mond, Henderson, Love and Bixby
give DR.. N. A. Farr, the Republican
candidate, a lead of four votes. If the
precincts not yet reported cast the
same party vote they did two years
ago DR.. Farrar will win by q few votes
But the result is uncertain. DR.. Farr
ran far ahead of his ticket at both Des
Arc and Annapolis. The reports from
those two precincts show an increase
of about 115 votes over the vote OF
two years ago. This is puzzling, il
not i~nexplicable. The official count
will be printed next week.

Arcadia (The Eden Of the Ozarks) Revels
in Autumnal Beauty.
BY Iona OF THE oZARKs.

To the close observer the Valley of
Arcadia is not only a summer resort,
but its exhilarating climate makes il a
favorite retreat for autumnal recrea-
ton as well, for not only do the visit
ors linger throughout this beautiful
season, but tourists from the distant
city claim it to be their ~favorite outing
point. The Valley is also frequented
by the artist and the poet, who revel
in its beauteous environment. Carl r.
Kraft, a popular artist of Chicago,
who is now sojourning in Arcadia,
was awarded Honorable Mention"
Con a painting entitled "The Valley of
of Mystic Veils)" at a recent Art Ex-
hibit in that city. "The Sunsets De-
parting Gleamn, and "Nature in Its
Mingling Shadows" are among his
Arcadia productions, all of which be-
speak of the mystic beauty of this
ideal spot and mark the touch of the
Master hand.
E. G. Witter, a clever st. Louis
Artist, has also produced some Won
derfully beautiful "Arcadia views"
n of which graces the home of Mrs.
Louis Miller, wife of Arcadia's Archi-
tectural genius. Robertus Love, a
prominent poet and press writer of
the Post Dispatch Staff, has found
much here to praise and admire, in
fact much or which to base ga New
A~rcadia"-and still she murmurs:
Please go way and let me sleep,
Don't disturb my slumbers deep;
/ had rather sleep than wake,
Please go way for NATURES sake.
Be it SO, o, b~eauteous Arcadia, but
for thine own sweet sake, thou shalt
one day awake! Awake, to the full
glory OF thy name.
From whence cometh the "Nymph
of Arcadia?" Mayhap from the Valley
of Arcadia; however, the question re-
mains a mystery, until the day on
which she graces the "Eden of the
OZarks."

From Florida.

Mr.. and Mrs. N. Warren, of Belle.
view, are in receipt of the following
letter. written in Osprey, Florida, IN.
der date of October 20, by their nep
hew, M. L. Townsend:
Dear Uncle and Aunt-We arrived
at home Saturday night a week ago
and have not yet hardly had time t.
get our breath. We have not as yer
written the home folk a letter, only a
postal card, but will try to write to,
Gay or tomorrow.
First and foremost 1 want to say
that the trip was made pleasantly, nc
rain IN at all until we hit northern
Florida sand roads aud then the rair
was very acceptable as the rains il
sand roads make them better, or more
solid. We had only n puncture or
the entire trip, which was gotten
in a little place called "Ellville."
Florida; picked up a common carpet
tack, which did the work. I was
tempted to prefix an "H" to the name
of the town. Ha! Ha!
We came through Cairo, Ills, Hop.
kinsville, KY, Nashville, Tenn, At
lanta, Georgia, and direct to Tampa,
the most direct route we could have
found. Travelled from Potosi, Mo,
home, a distance of 1850 miles. Some
of the roads are as fine as I ever saw
You you can make 20 to 80 miles per
hour on them and we came over 80 to
40 mile stretches of the toughest roads
1 believe I ever saw; actually l would
have been ashamed to put a good OK
team over soma Of the places we
Travelled. We appreciated the good
roads when we got on them and of
course the greater mileage was good.
l believe inside of two years we will
have a good road between here and
Missouri, that you can make the trip
between these states in ten days and
do it without much strain, especially
in the right season, fall and spring
time.
Our roads between here and our
home town Sarasota, Florida, are all
torn up preparatory to the making of
the Concrete Asphalt highway I was
telling you about while there. think
this road will be completed by the 1st
of next June perhaps, so they will not
do us much good this winter which we
had hoped they would.
Weather here delightful, and will
have to commence moving my early
Grape Fruit; I see from the quotations
that they are selling in Washington,
D. G., from $500 49, 90 per box, which
is more than high. am going to try
to get these off in time to benefit by
some of these good figures.
hope you IRE all well, and to see
you at our place in Florida some time.
Give Willie and his little wife our
best wishes, and remember us to all
whom you think would be interested
in hearing from us. With love and
best wishes to you both for good
health and happiness, l am
Your Nephew,

that she a unable to give some time
to Iron County.

will be felt in the Union and commun.
ity.
Mrs. Della Stevenson has returned
to her home in Des Arc, having at
tended the W. G. 7. U. Convention in
Moberly. Mrs. Stevenson is an en-
thusiastic temperance worker, and we
are sure she profited by her visit to
the Convention.
Mrs. Clara Robinson has been APP
pointed by Belleview Union as Super
intendent of the L. I. L. She will be
assisted by Mrs. Alberta Bell and Miss
Myrtle NanNort.
Ere these notes are printed it will
have been decided whether Missouri

the other 10 Prohibition States, or
whether she will grovel along in the
same old beaten path.
If the Saloons are the choice of the
State, who has a boy to spare? 1t is

Motor Ways of Georgia.

AS guide to automobile travellers and a step
toward the establishment of a standard Statewide
system of well-kept roads, the Motor Way Year
Book" issued today by the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce will be of substantial and far-reaching
service More than eleven thousand miles of roads,
traversing nearly all the counties and five hundred
mapped The readings are arranged with eye
to convenience and are supplemented with wealth
of useful data regarding the material and construc
ton of the roads, the population of the principal
points along the routes, speed and traffic laws, and
other circumstances of concern to the motorist.
The book thus should prove valuable in encourag-
ing long-distance automobile travel within the
State and also in attracting thousands of tourists
from other parts of the country The possibilities
of this kind are manifest when it is noted that
thirty thousand more automobiles are owned in
Georgia and that every year at least ten thousand
visiting motorists its borders.
Aside from this, the Chamber of Commerce
publication tends TO inspire road improvement and
to correate the work of the various counties into
Statewide system The current Motor Way Year
Book" which is the first of the annual series
planned. includes only those roads which measure
up to the Chambers standards of worth. Roads
which hereafter may drop below those standards
will be omitted from next years volume, and roads
which in the meantime attain them will be entered.
The value of having place in such record should
prove an incentive TO every town and county in
Georgia. The uniform standards thus established
will lead naturally to inter-county plans and en-
deavors, and thereby open the way to State high
way commission.

Rat Lore.
have been

It is refreshing indeed to find statistician who
passes over the pompOus figures OF the war to study
the short and simple annals of the rat. To learn
that the fighting nations owe many billion dol
lars or have lost so many million men appalls the
mind and depresses the heart but to be told by a
specialist on the subject that each rat costs the
community ten cents a day is spur to lively
thinking Just how does that come about?" one
asks on being apprised of the remarkable fact
Thus one embarks upon a voyage of self inquiry
and speculation that leads to the farthest
of domestic and moral economy.
Each rat in collecting its food, costs New
York City ten cents a day So declares DR.. Victor
Ceiser AS to the minute and laborious steps by
which this discovery was achieved we are not in
formed. Certain it is, however, that science put
forth it's utmost cunning and that patience girt
itself as seldom before; for may be that no
rat volunteered the information. The truth was
wrested from the rodents crumb by crumb The
cost of living is jot higher, perhaps, in New York
City than in the average American community, but
we may reckon conservatively that for the nation
as whole the rats per diem is not less than nine
cents To be scrupulousy safe, however. let's put
it at eight and half cents.
And now perpend. Our expert believes that
there is one rat to every two persons. 1t is there
fore a simple process of multiplication to figure
that on basis of a hundred million inhabitants
rats cost this country s425. 600 day, $751;
100000 a year. or $3.50, 000,O00,0OO a
decade or Ito make the matter perfectly clear
$4,000 900 900 900 a century Our figures may
not be accurate to the dot, but they suffice to show
the Importance of the rat question and the glory
of statistics.
