COUNTY ELECTION
WEATHER MADE VOTE LIGHT
RETURNS COME In VERY
SLOWLY.

The results of yesterdays election
is the one absorbing subject on the
streets of Madison today, almost to
the entire exclusion of all other top
les of conversation. The multiplicity
of candidates for such offices as were
open for seeking had a number of
seekers. Some of the offices and the
positions of the incumbents We're
considered impregnable, and were
not sought after, and others had not
exhausted their customary two-year
trial.
Throughout the country the vote
was light, due to the heavy rain
which fell during the greater part OF
yesterday. Not nor than half of the
normal vote turned out. Returns
from several of the precincts are slow
in coming in, due to the heavy roads
! which preclude automobile travel
and to the fact that the telephone
lines are in many cases not in good
working order.
In the tabulated list of vote a:
shown in another column only those
offices are shown which are Of par
ticular interest or for which there IL
special contest.

NOTHING SERIOUS"
LETTER FROM SERGT. EUGENE
G. McKIBBIN, WHO WAS RE-
PORTED WOUNDED.

May /, 191S.-Dear Mother: Just
a note to set your mind at ease
should you happen TO see a casualty
report. l am in the hospital, hav-
ing come here from the front, but
nothing serious. Hope to be out in
a shortt ime. Have been where it's
been pretty warm; in fact, real
warm" / got a little gas, so at
present I'm a little short winded.
The "Y" is certainly treating us fine.
Twice a day some of the girls come
up and give us candies, apples and
cookies, also tobacco and cigarets.
OF course l can't use any of the lat
ter at present, but I sure can enjoy
the former, so don't worry about me
as I'll be o. X. by the time you get
this. Love to all.-Gene.

Paris, May 29.-Not the least en-
couraging news was the brilliant sue

feature.
1t was the first important action
carried out alone by the Americans.
All reports agree that they behaved
like veterans. This is pronounced
the best augury for the early future
when American help will weigh heav-

HOME GROWN
THANKSGIVING
Is to Be Made Day Of Saving Rather
Than of Consuming Food,
at Home and in
Hotels.

Every dish served in Iowa hotels,
restaurants, clubs and other public
eating places on Thanksgiving day
will be made from homegrown pro-
ducts, if recommendation Of the food
administration are put into effect
This will be a distant measure of
food conservation and should demon
strate to the r'lblic how food and
transportation may be saved by using
only local products.
One Of the greatest problems in our
domestic food situation is that OF
transportation, which has been sorely
strained to meet the heavy demands
of war. BY using homegrown foods,
railroad facilities are released for
the transportation of war necessities
and the strain upon our railroad
facilities Is materially lightened.
While a special campaign is being
waged to have these recommends
lions accepted by the public eating
places, at the same time the food
administration is urging all private
households, as patriotic conserva-
ton action, to make Thanksgiving a
day for saving rather than a day for
unusual feasting.

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom.
ach, fermentation Of food, distress af.
ter eating, and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial d.
gesters. are killing their stomachs by
1naction Just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elasti-
city into it, and make it sturdy enough
to digest a hearty meal without arti-
fetal aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev-
erywhere. and is rigidly guaranteed
to build up the stomach and cure indi-
gestion, or money back.
This prescription Is named Mona,
and is sold In small tablet form in
large boxes, for only few cents. Re-
member the name, Mi-ona stomach
tablets. They never fail.

PEACE DOES NOT BAR

After war was declared, we found
a certain few who were not adjusted
4 to living in republic. The fact that
peace is declared must not deter US
from Furnishing any of those who are
guilty of violating the law-and
especially because at this time we
have discovered some weak spots in
our government and the need of
eliminating such men in time Of
peace to come Just as much as in
time of war;" said Judge Wade to the
federal grand jury Tuesday morning.
Some other things he said were
| these:
| THE men we had, or the money we
had, were not the important things
| 1t was the spirit we had, and the
spirit the boys carried with them over
there"
The charge to the grand jury out
lines it's important place In preserv-
! ing the liberties of the people, and
part of it was:
How to Protect Liberties.
I'm the enforcement of law, it is
the people who speak"
I'VE at this hour realize what lib
erty is to the people. In providing
means by which the liberty of the
people is protected, the grand jury
fits into our scheme of government.
This grand jury is more interested
| in seeing that no innocent man shall
suffer than in seeing that every
guilty man is punished, and no man
can be put on trial except by a pre-
sentiment by you.
"Of course. If you protect the rights
and liberties of the people, you must
punish the man who invades that
fright by violating the law, and you
are in sense inspectors of condi-
TONS
Light on Liquor Law.
The charge emphasized the neces-
sity for investigation Of violations Of
the espionage act, the law against
stealing from railroads, the postal
laws, the Mann act, and the liquor
laws. About the latter the judge
said that the law bars carrying
liquor on the person for private USE
The trial docket was cut down
very much when the attorneys re-
sponded othe call. The first case
lis that against Robert Uttley Of San
dusky, for talking against the United
States in the war.
After 1T comes the last Jaeger case

company, all of which to date have

favor of the company.
