COAL PILES GET
SECOND RESPITE
FROM ATTACKS

Richmond coal piles were given an
other respite last night and today
when the scheduled cool wave failed
to arrive.
Natural gas consumers also rejoic-
ed when the temperature stayed shy
of the zero mark.
Lifting of coal embargoes is ex.
pected to relieve the Richmond coal
situation soon.
Weather prophets say the cool wave
to be ushered in with rain or snow,
merely has been delayed and will
arrive tomorrow.

NEW CASTLE, 5; RICHMOND, 8

Richmond's defense which had.
weathered the New Castle storm of
drives fairly well during the first two
periods, broke on the rocks of the
Harkens-Duggan drive in the last
period. And with the passing of said
defense went another "heartbreaker"
the third in as many days.
Richmond lost because its defense
failed in the pinch. New Castle. and
even the New Castle rooters admitted
it, had no license to win. Richmond
more than held its own in more ways
than one.

BAPTIST CHURCH

Our Christmas exercises brought out a packed house Monday evening. Every one seemed pleased with the program and had an enjoyable time. Santa Clause was real to the children and his presence stirred them with de light
 The annual Watch Party will take place next Monday evening. Come and watch out the old year and well come in the new. Refreshments will be served and the usual good time is promised.
 Last Sunday was a splendid day with us. The sermon on The Red Cross was we'll received and many requests were made for it's publication in the City papers. The drive that was seemingly made to draw away our evening crowd was not effective. The attendance was good and up to the average at both services. If 'maligning tongues and gossip mongers that love lie more than the truth, can put the Baptist church out of business we are ready for decent people to write her epitaph Truth crushed to earth will rise again ''is as true today as it ever was The emissaries of darkness can crush but they cant kill. I have lived long enough to know that the devil and his foul brood are doomed and the days of their pompcus parad- ing and towering influences are num- bered in every community, just keep on stirring the brew.
 By request the; sermon next Sun- day morning will deal with the Sab bath question. The subject will be Why Christians Observe the Lords day ard not the Pewish Sabbath 2 In the evening we shall speak from the text The Fool Hath in his Heart There is no God.'' If you would be interested in these questions, spend the day with us. All worshippers will find hearty welcome at the Baptist Church.

visors, tn be sent to Phoenix. How they were received in the office of the treasurer is a matter only for conjec- ture. Tn throwing them out the su- preme court says: Without some proof of their identity and integrity it would be a dangerous precedent in- deed to allow the return of an election to be augmented by such character of ballots
 The court finds difference be- tween the character of these ballots and those of Camp 10 or Saginaw, in Coconino county. In the latter case the ballots were canvassed, certifie1 to and delivered to the county treas urer. This anvassing took place not at the first meeting of the board, when the returns had not yet been receiv- ed, but within the six days allowed.
 As to the attacks that had been made upon Snowflake, Pinedale and various other precincts, some of which had been thrown out by the trial court and later restored, the su- preme court indulges only in interest ing comment. There is an intimation that if those matters had been brought before the court irregulari- ties might have been pointed out that would have had an influence upon the deoislcn of the court.
 More space is given in the opinion to the various kinds of ballots in dis pute than to any other feature of the contest; ballots in which a cross had been marked in the square at the head of a column and then crosses in square opposite the names of candid ates: where ballots had been marked in either the prohibition or indepen- dent column; where the crosses were imperfectly formed, etc, and where marks were alleged to be distinguish ing.
 This part of the opinion is inter- esting and instructive for election | boards and voters but the rulings GO not affect the general result after the defect the general result after the decision in the Douglas precinct case. | Generally the rulings favor the "iI:- | tcntion of the voter" except where | that intention has ben expressed in clear violation of the statute The @ it Is sad that the ballot must be re- jected however plain the intention Of the voter may have been. Generally the rulings of the trial court in such cases were sustained. It was held that Eallot marked with a cr5si in the square at the top of colum1 Id another in square opposite the name of a candidate in another col umn should not be counted, since that
 method is in direct violation of the law. As to those ballots which had crosses in squares in the prohibition column in frcnt of the name of Camp bell, separated from his name only
 by thin line, the court ruled ther1 out. holding fiat perhaps the voter
 really intended to vote for prohibi
 tion candidate and neglected to write
 lis name. These ballots were from
 counties where no names of prohibit
 ton candidates were printed on the
 ballot.

(llIrOl, ArlZOud, DGC. Z1, 1Sll. AL Agents and Others Concerned:
 The United States Food Administra, tion, through the Special Committee on National Defense, of the American Railway Association, has requested that carriers and others be advised of the following:
 The information comes to us that the I w. w have planned this win ter to use concentrated lye and roach powder for killing cattle and hogs in yards and feed pens. It is said lye on rock salt causes mouth sores, ulcers in the stomach and rots the feet, and that many people will think it foot muriatic and nitric acid fed in bran will cause ulcers on hogs stomaches and cause them to die, closely resem- bling hog cholera
 In view of this it is very necessary that a sharp lookout be maintained at all times with Fiew of observing movements of any person around cat tie pens, cattle licks, or at any place where cattle gather in any number of head Also on shipments of bran for animal food purposes, which should be protected under lock and key at all times in order to prevent. as far as possible, any one from throwing acid on it.
