OFF YEAR ELECTIONS
Sole Consolation for President Wilson
Is wet as Atlantic Ocean" Vote
Of New Jersey.

II the elections Of Tuesday point
any political moral at all il shows that
the only issue left on which the dim
mycratic party can make any showing
ut all is Charley Wooden,s Arknnsaw
platform of free whiskey and sailors
rights. The only place where the dem
ocrats made any respectable showing
at all was in New Jersey and the dem
ocratic candidate made his race on a
platform pledging himself IL possible
to make New Jersey as "wet as the
Atlantic ocean" He carried the state
on that platform, the first democrat
to carry the state since President VIII
sons first election in 1912. Every
where else practically there was the
same story either of largely increas-
ed republican majorities or largely de-
creased democratic ones. The only
state outside of New Jersey where
democracy made any showing what
ever was in Mississippi, where the
democratic candidate for governor in
creased his lead over the socialists by
stumping the state and denouncing the
League of Notions and the extrava-
gance and corruption Of the Wilson ad-
ministration during the war.
In Massachusetts the republican
ticket received by far the largest vote
ever given any party in that state,
the pluralities running as high as 15O.-
900. In Kentucky the republican tick
ct for the first time in many years is
elected by majorities above 10000,
even carrying the rock-ribbed demo-
cratic stronghold in Louisville. In
Maryland the usual big democratic ma
jority was cut down until it will take
the official count to decide who Is
elected, and at all other points where
elections were held the result show
ed the same trend

Third Roll Call

In support of the Third Roll Call,
November Pill, local officials of the
Red Cross have issued the following
statement:
"The American Red Cross is not
trading upon its past reputation. 1t
is going before the people solely to
carry out its peace time program,
which in many respects is even larger
than its wartime program. 1t is put
ting sentiment aside. 1t realizes that
the people are tired of war, war pic
lures, war stories, war poetry, even
the soldier appeal has lost some Of its
force. Not that the public is migrate
full to the soldier for what he did, but
it wants to get away from war that
it did not cause, that it did not seek,
and get back to brass tGcks.
ITO carry out its pledge, made dur
ing the war, the Red Cross must con-
tinue to extend its services to the men
still in the army and navy, to their
families at home, to discharged SOL
dicrs not yet re-adjusted to the rou-
tine of civilian life, end to boys con-
valescing in military and naval hos
pitfalls.
In certain portions Of Europe the
Red Cross must still care for under
nourished b:bies and for the eyed and
infirn, and must assist war ravaged
countries to organize their own re-
sources to preserve the vitality and
life of their own people.
THE Red Cross will continue to
carry its already established system
to Eationsl and international relief to
mitigating the suffering caused by
famine, fire, flood and great national
calamities. II also must be prepared
to give service to the standing forces
of our military and naval establish
ments; it must continue its services,
undertaken prior to the war, in the
field of nursing, and must maintain
its course in first aid, dietetics and
home care Of the sick.
while all these responsibilities at
home and abroGd have steadily lessen
ed in volume and scope and are gen.
orally moving toward oblivion, they
cannot be abandoned until they are
properly and fully met"

GREATEST FARMING COUNTRY
Agent of Census Bureau Visits Lamar
Territory and PrOnOunces 1t the
Greatest in Country.

Nothing like it have / seen in all
my travels" So spoke one Of the
travelling agents of the government
census bureau Of farm statistics after
trip with C. Ray Strain through the
May Valley territory. He said that
his duties had called him to visit a
large portion of the farming terri
tory of the great middle west, the
backbone of Americas agriculture.
but for bountiful crops OF hay, gram.
sugar beets, etc, nothing comparable
to the great May Valley has come un-
der his vision. When he visited the
May Valley station twelve big loads
of beets were being unloaded at once
and yet nearly seventy-five wagons
were in line waiting their turn, while
the piles of silo beets were already
this early in season greater than the
whole amount sliced last season. Near
ly as many more teams were unload
ing hay at the alfalfa mill and dozens
of wagons were unloading wheat into
the cars on the siding. He said he
saw more of the wonderful alfalfa hay
in his one day trip through May VAL
ley than in all his travels before. His
enthusiasm over his trip was evident
and he freely expressed the opinion
that he believes this to be the rich
est agricultural region in the world.

FARM BUREAU ONLY
OFFICIAL GROUP OF
AMERICAN FARMERS
This Bureau is Recognized by the De-
partment of Agriculture and Is
the Only One Thru Which
This Department Works.

A Farm Bureau is something COM
paratively new, and it is no wonder
that this question is being asked on
every hand. 1t shows that people
are anxious to know about this great
nation wide movement among the
farmers. The farmers who so long
have stood independent and :lone are
getting together at last.
The Farm Bureau is the only farm
ers organization in all stateo and
counties of the country that is offic-
tally recognized by the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture and all the state
Agricultural Colleges as the agency
thru which they may cooperate and
come in vital contact with the actual
tillers of the soil. The question in
the title of this short article will be
answered in series of paragraphs
of this kind.-E. T. Leonard, Secretary

ACCIDENT AT MILL
Lamar Flour Mill Engine Room
Wrecked by Accident To Fly
Wheel.

If anyone has any curiosity to know
just what would happen to this little
old world of ours, travelling around on
its axis at the rate of 1000 miles per
hour, in case the various counteract-
ing forces which nature has thrown
around it to guard against centrifugal
force should take few seconds vaca-
ton, let them go down to the Lamar
flour mill and look over the engine
room. I. n. I. ut its worst could not
have made more complete wreck of
things than the tremendous power of
centrifugal force did. Ii the scientist,
who attracted some attention a few
years ago by claiming it was misnam-
ed centrifugal force" and should be
called centrifugal tendency" could
have been sitting on the roof of the
engine room at the mill last Saturday
morning at 1880 it would have had u
tendency to convince him Of its force.
At that time a set screw which held
the big drive wheel in check broke
and turned It loose at the most tre-
mendous speed possible. 1t broke to
pieces and was thrown in every direc-
ton. One large chunk went through
the roof and struck the tall furnace
chimney near the top tearing a big
hole clear through it. Another piece
over a half ton in weight went over
train standing on the Santa Fe
track and fell in the stockyards.
Other pieces of the big drive wheel
scattered all over the engine room car
rying destruction in its path and do
ing hundreds of dollars of damage to
the machinery. Fortunately no one
was in range Of any of the missiles.
The night engineer, Carl Hollopete-,
rushed in to shut off the engine and
prevent further damage and received
some scalds but nothing serious.
There was stream of visitors all
day to see the wreck and it was a
surprise to all that so fearful damage
could be done by a force SO little
discussed as to be scarcely known to
most of the public. The securing Of
a new drive wheel and putting it in
position under present conditions is a
big undertaking as well as the repairs
to the machinery and it is probable
that the mill will be shut down from
sixty to ninety days.

Leonard and Dundee Will Attract
 Big Crowd Jan. 16

New Haven, Dee. 24-It is ex- pected that a large crowd will be at- tracted to see the bout between Johnny Dundee and Benny Leonard In this city on January 16. Both boxers are supposed to arrive in the Elm City 8 week before the bout to complete their train ng.
 When the bout was first proposed there were some faint objections voiced from certain elements in this city, but upon learning the details of the match. the high class sporting attraction t. be provided and the ab- sOlute reliability Of the business men of the city who are behind the prop ositiOn with unlimited capital, all ob- 1ectiOns were withdrawn and now all New Haven is ready to turn out and assist in welcoming the two greatest lightweight boxers in the world.
 New Haven has long been the en- ter for classy athletic events. The city Is famous for the annua! Yale Harvard football and baseball games the home of the largest and most at tractive athletic stadium in the world The city also boasts of one of the largest spnI finest arenas in the coun- try, the place where Leona. I nd Dundee are 10 meet Cn the 16Lh. II was III this spacious arena tha. world champion hycycie riders have com peted and where many famous sport ing attra ctions lave taken place New Haven was one of the few places where former champion Jess Willard boxed before beating Jack Johnson for the worlds title. During the many years that boxing has been con- ducted in New Haven the fans have had the pleasure ot seeing ir action most of the best men in all the diff ferent weight divisions. Both Leon ard and Dundee have shown in New Haven against different opponents, so these boys are not going to enter the city as strangers. Plans are be- ing made to make all visitors who take in the big match feel at home and feel they would like ito come again..
