that the California vote should not be
taken in full to get fair results, but
should be cut down to one-third to get
the right proportion, which would
leave a majority of 6793 for the presi-

WILSON IS STILL
FAR IN THE LEAD
Straw Votes Indicating Drift To-
ward President Wilson, Continues
Up To Date.

Fewer straw votes are being an
nounced locally than formerly and
those that are still show a draft to
ward Wilson. A travelling man Satur-
day told a TIMES reporter that on a
train running to Minidoka during the
week he had taken a straw vote which
showed twenty-seven for Wilson and
nine for Hughes and that a poll of the
crowd at the station at Minidoka
showed seventeen for Wilson and sew
en- for Hughes.
The Salt Lake Tribune Sunday de-
clared that the Wilson stock was go
ing upward on the curb In the Utah
capital. 1t said:
Democratic stocks showed decided
publish" tendency on the local curb
yesterday especially In so far as the
presidential election is concerned. At
the close Of the days activities the
various boards were freely plastered
with Wilson propositions" with
Hughes money in evidence only when
odds were offered and comparatively
scarce under all circumstances.
The Democrats became almost reck-
less yesterday in an effort to tempt
the Hughes followers. They offered
amounts all the way from $40 to $4,000
on Wilson. but there was nothing do
ing on even money propositions Odds
had to be held out to bring results and
even then the wagers were of small
denominations. Before the close of

EASY VICTORY WON
FROM RUPERT HIGH
Twin Falls Takes Fifth Straight
Victory 80 to 6
RUPERT MAKES LONE TOUCH
DOWN ON FAKE FORWARD PASS.

Star-Final Game of Season With
Bull Friday.

In the fifth game of the season,
Twin Falls high school won a COM
paratively easy victory from Rupert
high school by the score of 1876.
AS usual for this season, the weather
and grounds were ideal, though the
boys had not taken a good week s
practice Rupert on the other had had
not played a game for two weeks, and
was in good condition for the contest
The game was called shortly after
three o'clock Rupert taking the kick
off. Twin Falls returned the ball to
the thirty yard line, and went through
their opponents team, until near the
goal line, Rupert held them for downs
Rupert punted safely and Twin again
brought the pigskin to dangerous ter
ritory. Neuman carried the ball across
the line for a touchdown and a mo-
ment later kicked goal. The quarter
ended with the ball in neutral terri
tory, score, 10.
At the beginning Of the second quar-
ter the substitutes who played the
first quarter we're replaced by the re-
gulars. Rupert received the ball and
by dint of much lodging succeeded in
returning 1t to their forty yard line,
where Twin held them for downs
Holderman and Holler did fine work
on line plunges, while McCracken as
usual made big gains on end runs. Fix
caught two passes for good gains, and
with the ball on the ten-yard line, Nc
Cracker carried it across on a wide
end run. The goal kick was missed
and a moment later the whistle
sounded for the first half, the score
standing, 1870.
In the second half Twin Falls used
fakes to good advantage and Rupert
used the pass with partial success. AT
one time, while Rupert had the ball,
tumble occurred in which a Twin
Falls man recovered and carried 1t
almost to the goal line before he was
downed. Holler took the ball across
for another touchdown on line |
plunge. The goal kick was missed.
Rupert received the ball again, but |
was held for downs. Bailey and De-
Witt made a good showing in line
plunges, and by means of this and
fake play, the ball again approached
the goal. 1t crossed the line a mo-
ment later under McCracken's arm.
Holderman kicked goal.
Beginning the last quarter with the
score 26-0 the Rupert boys did some
hard playing. On a faxed forward
pass they put man in Twin Falls
territory who fought his way through
the back field for a touchdown, the
second made on the local team this
year. The goal kick was missed and
with seven minutes to play Twin
Falls received the ball and returned it
to the thirty yard line
Quarterback Neuman used his head
in calling what the opposing team

The executive committee of the
Kansas Day club this afternoon upset
all the presidents of the association
when it changed the date of the an
the selection of an, out-of-state ora
tor, and reduced the number of
speakers. There will be just five
speakers. All are Kansans. The date
was advanced to January 27 to &C
commodate the State Bar association
and State Editorial association, which
meet in Topeka pricr to the banquet.
Established policy of the club to
select an orator from another state to
deliver the keynote" was abandoned
this year. Members of the executive
committee decided that Kansas mer.
and women knew of conditions in this
state bettes than residents of other
states. For that reason home talent
was selected to offer remedies for the
ills and ailments of the party in meet
ing national issues.
S. M. Brewster, attorney general
will be the principal speaker before
the club. On BrewSter's shoulders will
fall much of the burden in applying
ointment to the sores and wounds that
resulted from the late Republican I'M
pleasantness in Kansas in the effort
to save eight congressional candidates
and give a plurality to Hughes for
president
Mrs. Frank Organ of Howard will
be the woman speaker. She is the
wife of Frank Organ, assistant state
auditor, and is active in women's club
affairs in Topeka.
Earl H. Wilson of Paola and T. D.
Smith of Hiawatha are the remaining
speakers below J. w. Graybill of New
ton, president of the club. There will
be just five speeches. The BANQUET

hall will be open at 6 O'Clock in the

The home that has little child in
it has uncounted reasons for graft
tude. Wonderful are the winning
ways of childhood. 'fOf all the en-
dearing habits of my baby daughter"
says one father, the one that gives
me most happiness is her trick of
stealing up to me at unexpected times
and planting a kiss on my cheek, as
she says. Just because 1 love YOU"
Why are we not such children of the
heavenly Father? We go to Him day
by day with petitions, but SO seldom
do we turn to Him, in sheer overflow
of gratitude and joy and tell Him that
we love Him. No sound is more well
come in heaven than the unstinted
praise of a grateful heart.
1 do not ask Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road:
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from
me
Aught of its load;
L do not ask that flowers should always
spring
I know too well the poison and the sting
OF things too sweet
For one thing only, Lord, dear, Lord,
/ plead.
Lead me Alright
Though strength should falter, and though
heart should bleed
Through peace to light
I DO not ask, o Lord, thai Thou shouldset
shed
Full radiance here;
Give but a ray of peace that l may tread
Without fear.
1 do not ask my cross to understand
My way to see
Better in dark. just to feel Thy hand,
And follow Thee.
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night;
Lead me, Lord, till perfect day shall
shine,
Through peace to light.

Not the least profound of reasons

A Sure Cure for the Worlds Woes.
There is a quiet little man down in
Baltimore. DIR. John F. Goucher who
reminds one of the Apostle Paul in
that he has zeal for sending his per
sonality to the remotest regions that
he can reach. Tremendously ambi-
tfous in the New Testament sense, he
has established great educational
works in Japan and Korea and China
and India There are few men alive
in the world today who have projected
their lives as far and as fundamentally
as DIR. John F. Goucher.
This same eagerness to extend his
Influences, and to count largely in his
time. and to serve to the uttermost,
marks the Apostle Paul. He wanted
TO have a part in the life of the new
church in Rome. Therefore. he wrote
this great letter, which the Sunday
schools of the world are today study
ing. Let it be said in passing that it
is a noble ambition for the modern
man. with greater instrumentalities
for extending and charging his per-
Sonal influence than lay at the hand
