time and care in its preparation. But
two booths were in each ward, and

Complete official returns on the Presi
Dental election have been given out and
show that Mr.. Wilson received 500, 1922
votes more than did Mr.. Hughes. The
total vote received by Mr.. Wilson was
9,1l6,296 by Mr.. Hughes, S,547, Ala.
The total vote cast for the four presi-
dental candidates democrat, repub lican,
prohibitionist and socialist) in 1916 was
1858, S7l, as against 1907 82 in 1912.
This increase of 1851, 589 is accounted
for by the increase in population and the
votes of women in the suffrage states.
The vote given for Wilson in Maryland
was 1873, 1859; Hughes, ll7.347.
Reports from Washington are that
neither democrats nor republicans will
have majority in the House, necessary
to elect speaker, but that few indie
pendents will determine which side will
control the organization.

Beautiful Xmas Services.
Little Children Please Large
Audiences.

Christmas celebrations began in Thur
mont last Friday evening, at which time
the pupils of the Methodist Episcopal
Sunday School rendered very appropri-
ate program in most delightful manner.
At these celebration the little folks are
most attractive and hold the attention of
large audiences during the rendition OF
the portion of the program allotted to
the primary department. This year the
little Rotations, songs, etc, given by
the children were of high character,
and pleasing to the fullest extent.
The decorations in all the churches
were neat, and not so elaborate as in
former years, the big display of wreath
ing, trees, etc., to great extent having
been discarded.
The attendance at the various churches
surpassed previous years. This in large
measure was because of the weather was
good, the roads in fine condition and
people full of the Christmas spirit.

Reports from the postoffice in Thur

all previous years. Postcards, and pack
ages made up the bulk of mail handled
here. Postmaster Gernand kept the
Office open all day Sunday for the benefit
of his patrons and also for the purpose
Of distributing mail and getting it ready
for the carriers for Monday morning de-

Reports from large cities are that the
offices were overfowing with mail and
that it would take probably a week to
get out all that was received and suppos-
ed to be sent out for Christmas delivery.

Effects Of Car Shortage.
Farmers Are Advised TO Do
Their Shopping Early.

The editor of the Soil Improvement
Committee of the National Fertilizer AS
ISOLATION of Chicago, sends out the fol-
lowing letter to farmers throughout the
country. The needing of this advice may
be of great benefit to dealers and farm
ers purchasing fertilizer and lime in car
OTIS. The letter says:
Farmers are going to have hard time
getting their spring supplies of fertilizer,
seeds, lime, machinery and equipment
unless they order earlier than ever before
because of the serious and alarming car
shortage and congested conditions of
shipping on the railroads. The car short
age December LIST, was estimated at
$50, 900 cars, as compared with less than
half that number October LIST, and on
10, 900 cars on September lst. With the
rapid increase in shortage, and with in
dications pointing to greater shipments
than ever before this spring, farmers
who expect to get their crops started
early and to secure good yields next sea-
son, should do all their spring shopping"
early.
1.-The six or eight weeks proceeding
the opening of the spring planting sea-
son is one the rush times on the railroads.
the period extending thro ugh the latter
part of December and January is COM
paratlvely slack in traffic. To extend
the spring season oyer three months in
stead of one and that the side tracks and
yards are not so crowded so as to pre-
vent rapid loading and unloading of ship
ments. The cooperation of farmers,
dealers, manufacturers and railroads is
necessary if the desired results are to be
brought about.
1.-THE cities as we'll as the country will
be affected seriously if spring shipments
are not made early and move on time.
High prices that are now being paid for
food supplies will be eclipsed if next
years crops are not seeded properly.
"Some idea of the extent of the use
which farmers make of the railroads in
the spring may be brought out by the
fact that over 300, 900 cars are required
each year under the normal conditions
to handle the 100000 tons of fertilizer
used on spring crops. Railroads say that
it will be absolutely impossible to sup
ply this number of cars for fertilizer
shipments in the usual six weeks period.
early ordering of supplies has other
advantages. In many sections, the haul
ing on farms may be done on the snow
and before the breakup of the roads in
the spring. When work is least rushing
is the time to put the teams to hauling
If farmers will realize the urgency ant
seriousness of the situation and will or
der their supplies earlier than ever be-
fore, the shipments can be handled. Il
is case of where everybody must co
operate to bring about the result thai
everybody wants.
