Voters in next weeks town meeting
!shoild not forget that there are sever,
al ballots of the same size and OF diff
ferent colors and in order not to make
mistakes they should examine the
sample ballots and make sure before
they go into the voting booth. The
ballot on the Perry bill is light yell
low and the referendum ballot on the
primary is blush green. TO vote
for the primary put a cross in the
yes square on the green ballot. To
vote no on the Perry bill put cross
in the mo" square on the yellow bal
lot To vote against the primary put
a cross in the mo" square on the
green ballot To vote in favor OF the
Perry bill put cross in the Eyes"
square on the yellow ballot. These
two bills are the most important mat
tiers up at the town election and vot-
ers should be sure and not make mis-
takes tits a ybte of the entire state
on these questions :, and every vote
counts. The regular dry" and "wet
ballot of the several towns is on white
paper and is familiar to practically all
voters. Don't get this white ballot
mixed up with the referendum ballots
on the primary and the Perry bill
Read the printed matter on the ballot
carefully to make sure. The town
ballot in Bennington will be in the
same form as for several years past.

ARE MT DILlNss LIQUORS?

A certain class Of .preiudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They Will
tell you that such and such medi
cine contains as much alcohol as a
glass Of beer or certain quantity
of whiskey; but they do not mention
that the beer or whiskey is swal-
lowed at one draught, while only a
small quantity Of the medicine is
taken at one dose. At the same time
they will use alcohol quite as freely
and many in four or five times as
great proportions in their own pre-.
scriptions.
Such standard remedies as Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
use barely enough alcohol to pre-
serve the root and herb extractives,
too little to have injurious effects
and the medicine can be had, If de-
sired, in a non-alcoholic form.

STUCCO BLOCKS
 CONTAIN ARMS
LAYED SIX WEEKS ON WHARF BEFORE DISCOVERY
 WAS MADE

MADRID, Jan. PA report has just been made that 4,000 rifles and 10000 cartridges have been found in stucco blocks that had been ly- ing on the wharf for the last six weeks. It appears t tt the blocks of stucco had been shipped from Zurich to merchant at Malaga, Spain, by way of Genoa. After hay ing layed on the wharf for six weeks, the authorities decided to in vestigate and opened one of the blocks which was found to contain rifles. An order was issued to open them all with the result that 4,000 rifles and nearly 100000 cartridges were found.
 The theory is advanced that the rifles and cartridges were for Moor ish tribesmen to be used in an rp- rising.

HOW THEY DO
 IN MEXICO
NOT MUCH CEREMONY IN THE EXECUTION OF GENERAL
 BACA VALLES

FL PASO, Jan. 21-The execution A Col. Miguel Baca Valles, bandit chief, who was captured and brought 70 Juarez where he was executed, tas told today by an eye witness. The man says that after Valles was captured he was brought in a box car to Juarez and on his arrival he was marched through the dimly lighted platform of the railway sta tion where many families spent their nights. The body of General Rod iguez, who had been executed be- fore, was also brought to Juarez at the same time.
 Baca Valles, who was known as Villas most callous executioner at Juarez, was taken from the box car in which he arrived a few minutes before o'clock.
 Executions had been so frequent at Juarez in the final days of the Villa regime, however, that not a ripple of interest was shown.
 The proceedings were brief. The prisoner said:
 q am not responsible for the acts and robberies of Villa. I beg to see your general"
 The officer commanding the fir ing squad said he had orders to kill and he and a soldier stepped up close to Baca Valles and fired point blank into the prisoners heart. The body was then taken back to the railroad station, where it lay uncov- cred until after dawn on the plat. form among the men, women ano children lying about wrapped ir blankets.
 The bodies of Rodriguez and Baca Valles were laid side by side on the station platform in Juarez and dur ing the forenoon were viewed bs throngs of Mexicans.
 ed Enrique Gonzales, Carranzs government official. "Baca Valles was butcher by trade before the revolution began, and the death he met was merciful compared to those he inflicted on other human beings while he was Villas chief execution er."

HOW THE WASATCH
 MOUNTAINS WERE MADE

In the Overland Route Guidebook recently published by the United States Geological Survey the hls- tory of the formation of the Was atch Mountain Range, which over looks Salt Lake City, is graphically told. Long before there were any mountains in this region most of the rocks of the Wasatch Range were laid down as sand and mud on the bottom of the ancient sea, where they become compacted and harden ed into sandstone, shale, and lime stone. The sea bottom eventually became land. As mother earth has aged her skin has cracked and whinkled. In the Utah-Nevada re- zion many long cracks were formed and the rocks on one side or the other were moved slowly upward or downward, forming long ridges along the cracks, steep on one side and gently sloping on the other. Such breaks in the earth's crust are call ed faults. A fault may be few feet or hundreds of miles long, and the distance which the rock beds on one side slip past those on the other may range from fraction of an inch to thousands of feet. When the rocks on one side are showed up over those on the other side, the break is called a reverse or overthrust fault.-(Overland Guide book, Bulletin 612, U. s. G. S.)

SCHOOL NOTES

Tuesday the pupils of the High School and the 9th, 7th, and Sth grades enjoyed days skating at the Big Lake. The ice at the upper end was just right and everybody reported a fine time, although many of the pupils have been feeling rather stiff as a result.
 Two new pupils entered school this week. Ernest Keener in Miss Halls room and Alfred Wick in Mrs. Engstrom's room.
 Erma Pritchard, a pupil in Miss Buor's room, left for Seattle this week, and Florence Mercer, first year High School student left for Juneau.
 As this week ends the first sem ester of school the pupils have been busy taking final examinations. In the Physical Geography class in the High School, five pupils, Edith Swanson, Alice Kincaid, Dorothy Kitchener, Mitchell Spaeth, and Everett Paup who had an average of 90%o were exempt from the test, and two pupils, Corinne King and Dorothy Kitchener, from Ancient History. As the Botany books have come, a class in that study will be- gin next Wednesday.

AN IMMENSE IMPROVEMENT
 IS CONTEMPLATED

Improvement in business condi- tions during the present year will probably lead to the identification of the Great Northern Railway between Spokane and the Sound cities, according to a current re- port in railroad circles.
 It was learned that the engineers of the General Electric Company, were requested to investigate the cost of the improvement of the Chelan Falls power site, owned by the Great Northern, and reported that the cost would be approximat- ely $4,000,000 and this power. to- gether with further development of the plant west of Leavenworth, which is now used to haul trains through the Cascade tunnel, would furnish enough power to electrify the lines between Spokane and the coast.
