Zapata, Tex, Nov. 10.-The vote of
Zapata county, totaling SIC, was cast
solidly for Hughes for president. This

qualified voters in the county of Ia
pata are Mexicans who are either
naturalized Americans or were born in
the state of Texas. Democrats made
NO fight in the county.

Farm Vote the Factor.
There are several great outstanding
facts concerning the result Of the cleo
ton, one Of which is that labor, in all
the big industrial states except Ohio,
declined to give it's undivided support
to President Wilson despite his claim
to it on the score of having persuaded
congress to pass the AdamSOn "eight-
hour" bill. New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Massachusetts,, Michigan, In
diana, all gave the Republican candi-
date pluralities, and Ohio's vote in ia
vor Of Wilson is not certainly to be at
tributed to the labor vote.
Another interesting development was
the independence of the West, which is
asserting that it elected president
without the aid of New York and Penn
sylvania and other big western and
central states. When it was found,
early in the evening of election day,
that the empire state had gone for
Hughes, the newspapers Of the metrop-
oils, even those that had supported
Wilson, conceded the victory to the
Republicans, without waiting to hear
from the middle West When the re-
turns came in from these regions, it
was found that the farmer and stock
raiser had decided the election
Yet another fact that calls for COM
ment is that Governor Johnson of Cal
ifornia, running on the Republican and
Progressive tickets, has been elected to
the United States senate by something
like 100000 plurality. and yet the state
went Democratic on the presidency.

PLAGUED BY INSECT PESTS
Explorers in subtropicaI South Amer
lea Tell Of Hardships Encountered
on Their Journeys.

Though nearly every prospec'
pleases, other things as well as men
are vile in subtropical South America
According to a lecture delivered re
Gently before the Royal Geographical
society in London by lieutenant Ed
wards the insect and other pests are
unspeakably terrible.
The lecturer, who conducted from
tier exploration on the Bolivia Brazil
boundary last year. describes the for
ests as being wsllnigh impassable.

The soil Of the country, he said, was
wonderfully fertile. and with very lit

proportion.
In the forest and on the smaller
rivers life was made almost unbear.
able by insect pests. Ants were met
with everywhere; they swarmed over
ones person in hundreds. and most Of
them bit most savagely.
There was one kind of red ant
called Itashi. which lived in trees
named palosantos, followed out by
themselves, whose bite was like 9
touch with a red-hot iron. II person
inadvertently touched or leant uI
against one of these palceantos the
ants swarmed out upon hinr instantly
and his life for hours afterw ard was 8
long-drawn-out misery.

In selecting candidate for presi-
dent it is we'll to consider that no
candidate is broad enough that is
nominated on one issue. It is al.
so we'll to remember that there is
no issue worth considering that
has only one champion. No poll
tican ever becomes the champion of
an issue until be bAcomes convinced
that it is popular and the chances
are that when he champions it he
thinks it will add to his popularity
and help to elect him. The man
who sets himself up as the only eff
fectual champion. out Of popula-
tion Of one hundred million people,
of just cause, is an egotist. Il
is impossible to get q declaration
from any candidate on every issue
that may come up for consideration
during his term Of Office. Il he is a
man oshonesty, loyalty, ability and
good common sense he can be
trusted TO handle any issue satis-
tactosily.

Guinea Pia Farm.

Guinea pig farming would 'seem to
rank as the most curious of the vari-
Gus industries that municipali ties have
undertaken from time to time for the
common good Seattle is a guinea
pig farmer on considerab le scale
and at times the principal " orry OF
those in charge of the ranch" is that
the guinea pig supply will exc eed the
demand. The municipal guil lea pig
herd at the present time n umbers
about 700. The guinea pig fal IN is a
necessity, not an idle experime mt. In
their humble way these funn Y little
animals play an important part in the
daily work of preserving the city's s
health. They are the official goats
for the chemists in the city'f bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratories and It the
federal plague laboratory whie h the
city helps to maintain. The little
guinea pig is one Of the most unfor-
tunate of all animals. Since octors
have learned that he is subject to al
most all the ills that human fl ,ssh is
heir to, life for him is one long feast
Of germs.

TRAVEL IN ARMY FORMATION
Observer Has Told Of Peculiar Hab-
it's Of Crabs Found In Philip
pine Islands.

On some of the sand-fats Of the
Philippine islands, uncovered at low
tide. there are often to be seen huge
numbers of the grayish-blue crabs
called Myctiris. The body has the
shape and size Of cherry, and the
legs are set close. DR.. r. P. Cowles
has given us lovely picture of tho
ways of these creatures.
They move about like diminutive
armies, though the individuals seem
to be scrambling along rather awk-
wardly.
But what is most remarkable is
their power of intrenching themselves
with extraordinary rapidity. At one
moment there are tens of thousands
on the sands, the next moment there
are none.
By approaching very slowly and
carefully, Doctor Cowles was able to
see what happened. When he got
near enough and stamped with his
foot, every crab dug into the sand
with the legs on one side, and at the
same time rotated its body, 30 that
It sank out of sight in spiral.

EDITORIAL CONTENT

In the lows primaries Tuesday
w. Z. Harding, Of Sioux City, was
an easy winner on the republican
ticket for governor. From this
distance it appears that Mr.. Har-
dings strength was in his conserva-
tism. There has been movement
started in Iowa to bond the state
for an enormous sum ia order to
raise money to pave the public
highways, and it is said that .he
other two candidates were favor
able 10 the plan. Mr.. Harding
was recognized as the candidate
opposed to such an outlay, and
the people seem to be with him.
1t was also charged that Harding
was opposed to prohibition in Iowa
but this his friends deny. They
say the prohibition question is al.
ready settled in Iowa and that it
could not be an issue in this cam
palgn. A special election was also
held on the same day to vote on
woman suffrage, but on this ques-
ton the antis won by majority of
about 5000.

Fror1 the Tyndall Tribune.
B. w. Burnett has taken over the

pioneer photographers of the state and
needs no introduction to the people of
sTyndall.
The physicians of Bon Homme coun-
ty are holdinga meeting in the court
house this afternoon to discuss health
matters in this county. The meeting
was called by DR.. Koobs, of Scotland
who is president of the county board of
health.
Another pioneer answered the last
call Saturday morning, May 9th, 1916,
when Mr.. Martin E. Hitt passed away
at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. Fl.
Wagner on Baltimore Ave. Mr.. Hits
health had been failing for some time
and during the past two months he
had been confined to his bed. a few
days previous to his death he had ap-
parently been improving and the end
was unexpected. Death came quietly
as he slept.
Martin E. Hit was born in Urbana
Ohio, April 26, 1886, being eighty years
and one month old at the time of his
death. He was the eldest son of Rev.
and Mrs. Thomas S. Hit, his father
being methodist minister. His an
cestors were pioneers, his forefathers
having fought in the Revolutionary
war. AT that period of our history they
were residents of Pennsylvania. AS
the great west began to develop his an
cestors moved first to Indiana, then
Ohio aud later to Ogle county Illinois.
There Rev. Thomas Hit founded Rock
River academy at Mt. Morris in 1851.
At the death of his father, M. E. Hit
fell heir to that institution and later,
converted it into Mt. Morris College.
In September, 1874, Martin E. HIT
came to Dakota Territory, filing on two
quarter sections of laud in Bon Homme
county. Here he has spent the rest of
his life.
Mr. Hit is survived by two brothers
and two sisters, besides large number
of nephews and nieces, the immediate
relatives being Mrs. Elizabeth Hit
Wagner, of Tyndall; Thos. M. Hitt, of
Tyndall; Henry P. Hit, of Tyndall;
and Maria Hit Newcomber, of Mt.
