Affiliated With W. C. A.

For thirty-f1ve years the W. c. A.
had been doing splendid work on 18th
street. and when the Y. w. c. A. was
organized the two associations were
affiliated and had d common general
secretary. Since the work increased in
both associations to where one secre-
tary could not handle all the multifold
duties. the societies have had their in
dependent work, each helping the other
III every possible way.
Miss Clara NJ. Bergman, the physical
director, was the first secretary to re-
port for duty. She found and taught the
first Bible class and organized the first
club. 1t argued well for the healthy
tone of the religious work that it ema-
mated from the gymnasium.
The association made its first bow to
the public in November, 1905. at mass
meeting at the First Congregational
Church. which was addressed by a num-
Der of noted speakers.
dedlca ton service was held when
the rooms at 18th and F. streets were
opened to the public, December Is. De-
cember 16 the lunchroom opened.
The next day was Sunday, when the in
itial vesper service was held. led by
Mrs. Wallace Radcliffe, who has con-
tinued her active services ever since.
At the annual meeting in May, 1905,
Mrs. Eodfish was reelected president.
At the June meeting she rendered her
resignation. but remained on the board
of directors.
Mrs. A. IT Stuart, first vice president,
then became acting president, but i'll
health made her early resignation i'm
perative Miss Helen Woodward then
became acting president.

STRAW VOTES ARE
ORDER OF DAY
Predictions in Evidence Locally
and Nationally
PREDICTION MADE RELATIVE TO
VOTES OF FARMERS.
New York Herald Straw Vote and
Test at Salt Lake City Favorable to
Wilson.

The straw vote season has arrived
and the man who has an idea from
personal observation of how the wind
is blowing is on hand with the dope.
A couple of weeks ago a prominent po-
tato buyer while in this city freely~pre-
dicted the reelection of the president,
as a result of his observations among
the farmers of twenty-seven states
which he had visited.
Last week a well-known newspaper
man, working in the interest of an in
dependent Republican newspaper in
formed the editor of this paper that
two-thirds of the farmers of Idaho, in
his opinion, would vote for Wilson
This estimate was based, he said, on
his observations in several counties
which he had visited A Republican
professional man and an independent
business man have within a short
time told a representative of THE
TIMES that in their opinion two out
of three women in southern Idaho
would vote to retain President Wilson
in his present position. On the other
hand a merchant in a neighboring
town said that the country, the state
and the county would all go Republi-
call, While ITdVellnB man insisted
that while Wilson would lose the ma
ton, Alexander would carry the state.
The first mentioned was a straight Re-
publican, while the drummer, who
lives in Idaho, but not in this county,
expected TO vote for Hughes and the
present governor A German-Ameri-
can Democrat thought that Wilson
would be beaten, while German-Am-
erican Republican predicted victory
for Hughes unless Roosevelt would
queer him.
OF more significance is the polls TAX
en- by newspapers. The Literary Di-
gest has poll of labor leaders which
shows remarkable results in the other
direction 1t says:
1.-The initial striking feature of our
investigation is that out of Asst labor
officials reporting, 1872 say that their
members favor Mr. Wilson, forty-seven
find their votes for Mr.. Benson the So
cialist candidate, and forty-three re-
port sentiment favoring Mr.. Hughes.
The finding of thirty-four officials re-
veal either a non-committal attitude
or sentiment evenly divided, and it is
of interest to note that the ratio OF
votes was much the same all through
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-10-12

the three weeks of incoming replies"
From talks with local labor men it
is gathered that the vote of workmen
here will be largely divided between
! Wilson and Benson
The New York Herald is taking a
poll of the whole country. The paper
is independent and is supporting
Hughes. The following is a summary
of the last poll:
That in twenty-six states the total
straw vote of more than $4,000 leaves
the two nominees separated by only
107 votes is in itself sufficient indica-
ton that the contest now being waged
is a close one.
OF the 80 states in which straw
votes have been received and tabulat
ed for this weeks issue twenty states
show a plurality for Mr.. Hughes and
twelve for the president.
The twenty are New Jersey, Della
ware, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Ohio, Indiana,
Wyoming, Minnesota, North Dakota,
California, Nevada, New Mexico and
Oregon.
The Wilson states are New York,
Connecticut, Maryland, Missouri, Okla
homa Wisconsin, Massachusetts, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado, Arizona
and Washington.
The Hughes states have a total cleo
toral vote of 1914.
The Wilson states have a total cleo
toral vote of 1856.
While the Herald does not yet def
nitely place any of these states-it will
do so in a later issue-it offers some
thoughts on what could happen if the
present wind keeps blowing.
By adding Pennsylvania (thirty-eight
votes) Utah -four votes), South Da-
kota five votesl and Idaho -four
votes) to the 1874 for Mr.. Hughes, his
total would be swelled to 246, or TWEEN
ty fewer than the 266 needed for cleo
ton.
By adding to the LAG for the presi-
dent those of Alabama, Arkansas, Flor
ida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia, which he
is certain of having, and in addition
the electoral votes of Montana, which
he stands a good chance of getting, he
would have 2S6 votes, or twenty more
than enough to elect him.
A straw vote taken by the Independ-
ent, which is also supporting Hughes,
showed sixty-four per cent of the to-
tai vote for Wilson, the rest was div
ided between Hughes, Hanly and Ben
son, Hughes getting nearly all the
minority votes A straw vote taken
among the teachers attending the Co
lumbia University normal gave practi-
cally the same percentage for Wilson.
President Wilson led strongly in the
straw votes at both the state fair and
Pantages theater, in Salt Lake City
during the Utah State fair, winning
the former by a majority of I'LL of a
total vote of 7249, and the theater vote
by majority of 905 votes of a total of
1851 cast for the leaders.

MINSTREL SHOW PLEASED.

Says the Hazelton Herald: The
Busby's worlds greatest minstrel show
Wednesday evening has shown the dis
tinction Of being the only one to ex-
hibit here for some time without a lot
of fault finding critics picking it's at
fractions to pieces afterward.
A negro minstrel show is in a class
by itself; and a good one never fails
to please an audience where laughter
and amusement are sought.
The negro has an ear for music; it
is natural with him; and he has his
way of rendering it. 1t is not CLASH
cal, but it is better-more pleasing.
The minstrels gave good enter
tainment-one well worth the price,
and the audience got it's satisfaction

annually in the money market where
they can borrow at the cheapest rates,
and hitherto their loans have been
made in the east This year, in asking
for bids on their paper, they found
they could do better on the Pacific
coast than on the Atlantic, and some
very large sums were placed with
banks and brokers in the west, at in
terest rates never before obtained by
intermountain borrowers. The amounts
involved were quite heavy, but they
were absorbed with ease by the coast
banks and inquiries are daily being
received for more paper at the same
rates.-Deseret Evening News.

"A eret News says
Il was much interested in
the editorial in last Saturdays issue
entitled Hidden Deposits" and des-
cribing how the postal savings of the
country had grown in the past few
years. But was there not an error in
that portion which said the money of
the country was more widely distribut-
ed than formerly? Is not the great
concentration of money, postal savings
and general, seen now in New York
more than ever before?"
The best answer to this is that sur
vey of the weekly reports from the
twelve federal banks, located in wide
ly separated parts of the country,
shows that the funds of the nation are
fairly well distributed, according to the
business needs of the various dis
tricts, and that while New York pre-
dominates, as it always must, owing to
the uper-importance of the business
centering there, the banks in the other
eleven districts show total resources
which indicate that the funds of the
country are more evenly distributed
than ever before. Indeed, while un-
der federal reserve system, each bank
can supply the others in case of need,
the figures indicate that as a general
thing all have so far been Independent
of each other.
How the banking funds of the coun-
try are distributed has been strongly
illustrated in Utah during the past few
weeks. This is the borrowing period

contains on srticle that presumably every housewife in Juneau is Inter- estcd ln This portion of the bulle' tin discusses the reason why sugar IS soaring and tells an of the ins and outs of the commercial commod- fly. It is as follows:
 sugar-Wlll lt Advance or Decline?
 During 1915. the worlds production of Cane and beet sugar decreased from 1S,OOO.OOO long tons, to 16,65O,- 900 tons. Germany, Austria Hungary and the German-occupied beet fields of Belgium md France-producing, normally. 4,5OO.OOO tons,-were pre- vented from exporting their surplus sugar, and consequently, reduced their acreage until only 100000 tons which quantity was just sufficient for tho home needs of the central powers-were produced during 1915. France, normally producing suflc- tent sugar for her own needs, and England, whose supplies were for merly furnished by the surplus beet of continental Europe, and Japanese cane, have to look elsewhere to sup ply their needs. Cuba. producing a crop of 2,500.OOO tons (practlcally all of which was required by the United States), has become a chief source of supply for England and France. High prices have speeded up Cuba's production to 3,OOO,OOO tons per an- nun. while the United States. by heroic efforts, has contributed an in- crease of 15O.OOO tons, to m the void created by the dislocation of the worlds trade. Prohibitive freight rates have diverted the excess Jav- anese supply from England to India, SO that an increase of 650,OOO tons has had to take care of O consumpt- i've demand for close to 1,90O,OOO tons. The natural result of the worlds com petition for this prime necessity has been to raise the price, until the high CT price level balances the effective world demand. With the per capita consumption of the United States in the face of the high prices ruling during 1915-lncreasing 1.O82 per cent over 1914, 1t is impossible to forecast at what price this balance, between demand and supply, will be reached during the continuance of the war.
