b|C COUNT |S
 MADE BY COURT
 IN SINGLE DAY

One thousand and four ballots were counted yesterday in MT. Hunts suit to set aside the returns of the official election boards before his counsel re- quested the court to consider it a days work Judge Campbell, smilingly agreed to the adjournment. although he had been reluctant to request 1t on account of numerous insinuations by Hunts attorneys that the Campbell forces were indulging in dilatory tac tics.
 Four precincts were counted. Hunt gained one vote in St. David, the cleo. tion boaId having thrown out one straight democratic vote that was marked individually for numerous can didates other than Mir. Hunt. In the Campbell precinct of Wilcox. Hunt gained three votes and Campbell two. One of each of these gains was ap- parenuv an error Campbell's other gain was a ballot on which his name was written in the democratic column. Hunts other two gains were made on one ballot marked straight prohbi- ton and for Hunt, and one ballot marked with a cross in the square fol- lowing blank line beneath Hunts name.
 In Winslow precinct Nc. ?, Mr. Hunt
 
 with peculiar crosses. Mir. Curley, counsel for Mir. Hunt, also claimed a third ballot that had been marked spoiled by the election boaId. Judge Campbell suggested that proof of the integrity of the ballot should be fur nished before it was counted he n- sisted that Hunts attorneys are count ing ballots that were spoiled by the elector and not placed in the ballot box, and pointed out that in some in stances the ballots counted by the court exceed the number of ballots east, as shown by the poll lists. which accounted for some of Mr. Hunts re- puted gains. The court took the ballot in question under advisement The completion of the count in Wmslow No checked even with the poll list without counting this ballot
 Wlnslow precinct No. was com pleted with the exception of T ballots which were laid aside for ruling by the court. new feature Of the contest was the finding in this precinct of d registration blank attached to d Hunt falIot. This registration blank was dated November :, the day of election. or twenty-two days after the registra- tion books should have been closed A majority of the above mentioned 9l ballots laid aside for ruling were marked spoiled and signed by the election board.

This DISTRICT
IN GOOD SHAPE
Declaration of War Against Germany
Did Not Badly Effect Federal
Reserve District.
tCopyriEht.)

St. Louis, May 2-The declaration
of war against Germany found this
District well prepared against any
emergency. In my April 1st report,
l pointed out that the uncertainty as
to our foreign relations, had had q
healthy deterrent effect on business
activity in this district. Business men
throughout this district have discount
ed the effect of our entrance into the
European war and business in general
continues at very high level. Banks
in the district, especially outside of
the larger cities, are reported to car
ry reserves in excess of their legal
requirements, and there has therefore
been no change in bank rates. Money
continues easy. The cost of living
continues to increase and the rate of
increase seems to have gone up since
we entered the war. For number of
years, the State Bankers Associations
in most of the States in this district
have carried on vigorous campaigns
for diversifcation of crops. Farmers
in this district began to realize the
danger in dependence on one crop be-
fore the war and for a year or SO
many Of them have been raising suffi-
cient food products to care for their
wants. Therefore, on the whole, the |
people in this district, fully realize
the industrial and agricultural de-
mands which will be made on this
Country and there has been an intel
ligent discussion of ways and means
to meet the demand. The present sup
ply Of food stuffs and the prospects
for the coming crops is receiving the
careful consideration of all classes Of
people. The press is conducting
urging larger production
If food crops, and reports indicate that
this campaign will have beneficial re-
suits. The State Boards of Agricul-
ture, Commercial Clubs, and other or
yanizations throughout the district
AVE undertaken the work Of organiz-
ng the food products. Under the su-
,ervision Of the Missouri State Board
4 Agriculture, meetings have been
allied in every county In Missouri and
he campaign for food preparedness is
veil under way in this State. The tone
4 all business seems to be one Of
conservatism, with a strong underly-
ng feeling Of confidence. In an effort
o conserve the grain supply, distillers
n some parts Of the district have
greed to shut down for the period Of =
he war.
Since April 1st, we have received re-
orts from a large number Of jobbers, !
and manufacturers, locat-
d in all principal cities in this dis
rict. These reports cover practically
very line Of industry. Each line re-
orts heavy increase in business, un- !
