EXAMINER ISSUED LNDER---
DIFFICULTIES THIS WEEK

| The Examiner was certainly issued
Junder difficulties the past week and the
fact that it is late is no fault of the
Examiner force as everything in their
power was done to get this edition out
on time. We had hoped to issue a
Christmas number this week that would
be credit to the town and would have
succeeded in doing so had not our limo
type machine started bucking. From
Tuesday until Wednesday night the Of
flee force put in many weary hours try
ing to make the machine work, but we
had to give it up in despair. The ma
chine cannot be operated until an expert
from the factory arrives to put it in or
der again. ----.---------.-.-.--..-----------
\ Much local news and good Christmas
matter are necessarily omitted. We re-
gret that this should have happened
more than words can tell but it was un-
avoidable and we trust that our readers
will kindly overlook the lack of news
We might also add that the most of
the type in the Examiner this week
was set on one of the machines of the
Pocatello Tribune, for which courtesy
we are very grateful.

A CHRISTMAS WALK

In siivery softness the anthem closed
Like slowly silenced bell
The sacred calm OF n peace divine
Like benediction fell:
And out on the morning light that spread
gilmmer OF amber gray,
! walked with Margery home from church
On an old. old Christmas Day
bland. mild day--for the rugged month
Had chosen a kindly mood.
Like wonderful mellow aftermath.
From the Autumns plenitude.
With scarcely a tang of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breezes blow,
AS Margery walked from church with me
On a Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings. kindly and wise
Had left a shadow Of tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes.
The merry. hoydenish maid I'd known
For a twelvemontb's flying space.
Had taken on that old Christmas Day,
new and womanly grace.
As through the tremuIous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart,
sun ray lighted the rosy face,
The wish was barn In my heart
That down the trail Of the unspent years
Whatever their trend might be.
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk 10 the end with me
Absentiy watching the velvet flakes
BY the white gale set a-wiDg.
I breathe the spirit OF other years
While the bells Of Yuletide ring:
And near me, smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romping play,
IL the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old. sweet Christmas Day.

iowa HAS A
VAST SOAP Mine
Located i'm Fayette County Not Far
From Clermont. The Product
is Now Being Put on the
Market
CALLED CLAYOID
AND SAID TO BE FINE
The Extent Of the Deposit is Said
be Vast, No One Has Been Able
to Reach the End of 1t.

AS related by news dispatch,
The soap mine lies north of the
Turkey river, in Fayette county, not
far from the village Of Clermont.
For many years they have used the
clays OF that region for making a
superior brick and tile-the factories
for which were at one time operat-
ed by the late Governor Larabee and
are now the property of Chris Miller
and his sons, Mr.. Miller being well
known as a former member Of the
state legislature. The workmen in
the brick clays found certain of the
materials desirable for cleaning their
and gradually it dawned on some
one what they found was a nature
soap and it followed in due time
that someone thought of making a
commercial use OF it instead of let
ting 1T remain in the ground. The
product cleaned of other materials
and slightly scented is now put on
the market as Clayoid, soap that is
soft and easy on the hands and that
not only cleans them, but that leaves
them with an indescribable texture
or softness, so the habitual users
allege. The color Of the soap is gray
ish.
The geological! history OF this de-
posit will take one back a million
years or more, probably. At least to
the time when all Iowa and the Mis-
sisippi valley was an ocean, before
the earthquakes and the great con-
vulsions had cast up the mountains
and elevated plains. In that primi-
tive a vast northeastern iowa was
probably a vast island and the nest
ing place of millions of birds which
perished there in countless numbers
through the countless years. All of
them decayed and evaporated except
the oils and fats of their bodies ana
those oils and fats have been pre-
served in the alright covering of
rock, sand and clay. The oils are
purified by time-better than they
can be rendered in a modern pack
ing house and there are no odors
left in them.
The extent of the deposit is said
to be vast. No one has. been able to
reach the end Of it. The matter can
be taken up with a steam shovel, if
it becomes necessary to supply the
demands of commerce. The United
States government sought to buy
the soap in large quantities during

Des Moines.-Plans are being made
in number of counties to hold cleo
tions under the road law in the COM
ing months according to reports
reaching here. 1t only requires ten
per cent of the voters Of the county
to call an election and the board of
supervisors is compelled under the
law to such an election when thus
petitioned.
1t is believed in some of the coun-
ties having large cities the PROPOSE

the counties it will require a con-
siderable campaign and agitation to
put the measure across. Once an
election is held on the matter of hard

another election can not be held for

Among the outstanding points in

The other one-fourth will be paid by
assessments on districts extending

This assessment will be collected
in ten annual payments averaging
from $25 to SIS per year for a
quarter section in the assessment
district.
That the roads must be such as

PRINCETON HAS CHEERING PARTY
 FORITS TEAM

Princeton, N. J., Nov. "A last hard, driving practice for the team two huge, serpentine parades, or, as tradition had 1t on the campus as far back as memory goes. .'b-rades." a tremendous mass meeting of noNSIing cheering, loyal undergraduates, and Princeton is all set for he festivities of the weekend which. commencing with the great influx of alumni an1 sanior prom guests, will culIninate at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon when Princeton meets Harvard's unbeaten team in the Palmer Memorial Stadium.
 Big BiI'' Edwards, Captain Of the l9e0 team and one ct the Grea test guards ever ed out at Princeton, laid aside his civ1c duties in New York and Carns back tG his anna mater to talk 70 the boys at the mass meeting John Grier lIibben, Presi- dent of the University, forgot for the moment his academic problems and addressed the meeting. Bill Roper, head coach this year at Princeton, completed the trio of speakers.
 If enthusiasm counts for anything this years Tiger eleven should be well up in the van in the final reck oning. Such spontaneous outbursts as have taken place on the part of the under graduates yesterday and today have served to- demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt how soIidIy the college is behind the team in spite of its reverses. The cheers with which the team was greeted when it trotted out on the field yesterday afternoon and the whole-hearted enthusiasm with which the speakers of the even ing were acclaimed have had the effect of rebuilding completely the morale of the team
 Another day of the finest football weather was taken full advantage of by Roper He ran his men through as stiff workout as they have yet experienced, and the form displayed was sufficient to warrant confidence if not optimism in the minds of the cheering section, ,~ which, needless of the biting wind and the chill concrete seats, watched the entire practice.
 For the last two weeks special at tention has been given to the offense. Defensively, the team has shown it. self to be reliable, but the attack, which has been so graded as to reach it's height Saturday. has been weak The team has shown g. punch this week, however, which makes it look many times more formidable than it did against West Virginia

NOTRE DAME ID
 TAKE ON AMY TEAM TOMORROW

South Bend, Nov. 7-Notre Dame will intrdUe on the football spotlight Saturday. The Army-Notre Dame game to be played on the West Point field is the transcendant battle of tho country and on it's result depends in 2 large measure the standing of East ern and Western football for the 1919 season.
 No contests along the Atlantic sea board and throughout the country in general attracts more attention than he mix between the cadets and No Ire Dame. It marks the first big inter-sectional clash of the year.
 The Notre Dame team came through the battle with Indiana Uni versity, the result of which brought the locals the state title, in good physical condition. One serious in jury occurred during the fuss. Dutch" Bergman, back field ace of Coach Rockne's eleven and heralded IS one of the fastest halfbacks in the West, suffered torn fragments of the knee, and it is doubtful if he will be in shape for the trip to West Point
 By, maintaining their undefeated record throughout the season, the Notre Dame football team has chance to become the foremost as gregadon in the country.

Ernie Reich showed the fans las. night that he has lost none of his cid time skill when he jed the Blue Rib bons to victory over PaSSaic. \. j., in the first home game of the Inter State league season. Reich's great shooting was largely responsible for the Ribbons victory over the Jersey men by 35 to 28. The little forward caged six goals from the floor.
 Passatc outDlayed the Ribbons for the greater part Of the contest and the score was 2S to 22 against the To- calls when they started to rally with six minutes left in the second half Reich began the fireworks with 9 long toss and was followed by Stewart With the fans cheering wildly the lo- cals continued their bombardraent of the basket until they had passed the Passaic five.
 Stewart, a new conner on the Rib bons, made 8 hit with the crowd and so did Schwab, a new forward The latter showed plenty Of speed Se- dran and Robertson starred for the Passaic five.

DOMINIQUE IS WINNER IN BIB
 PIML1C0 EVENT

Baltimore, Nov. Tn the hardest test he has been put to this saaso1l, sam C. HIdretRs Dominique proved here yesterday that he is the best two- year-o1d left in training, and one of the two or three best Of the year. This clever son Of Peter Quince added to his trtunphs by capturing the rich Walden Stakes, at mile, win ming in a driving finish over G. W. Lofts Donnaconna. W. R. Goes David HaruTn was third in a field that contained the cream of the youngsters.
 It was the first time that Dom inique had ever been tried al a mile, and he demonstrated that he is not only fast but also game. Though tiring in the final furIong, after set ting the pace all the way, he was equal to his task when challenged by Donnaconna. He leveIed his cars and fought it out to the end and won by a nose. Donnaconna ran a powerful race, and was up close to the leaders all the way, and against a less resoIute racer would have won.
 The Walden is regarded as some thing more than just an event on the cal C' 4OL IL pOInLS 10 Ine leaders among the three-year-oIds of next year, and is closely watched by horse men all over the country. With it's value of 5000 it attracts the best at the age, and the starters yesterday were no exception to the rule Of oth- CT years. The youngsters were favored with a good track and clear weather, and the race was marred only by the start, in which Command CT J. K L. Ross ConsUanCy, one of the best Allies of the year. was left stt the post and never had a chance to show her ability. For the others the start was good and the race went to the best horse.

WALKER WILL
 BE AT TACKLE
 FOR YALE BOYS

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 7-The hard work for the Yale squad pre- vious to the Brown game is over and it is probable that Barclay Robin son, who, until yesterday, was play ing in the fourth team will start the game at end in place of Babe Allen, who the coaches are saving because of slight injuries. Walker will start at tackle in place of Munger, who is also slightly injured
 Dickens was not at the field, the coaches giving him a rest. Calhoun is g sophomore and played at Hotch- kiss He weighs 184 pounds and should develop into a varsity player next year. Galt and Acosta were the guards and Capt. Callahan the centre. In the backfeld were E'ido Kempton ct quarter, Neville and Webb at half and Braden at fullback. For a while Chet La Roche worked at quarter.
 Howard Campbell played on third varsity, and if he is in good form should be able to get into the final games to get his letter. A series of muscle bruises have kept him off the team so far this fall, but he is one of the best backs at the field when in condition. He formerly played at Exeter He hits the line well and is good on secondary defense.
 Paul Crane started yesterday on the second team. but hurt his knee when @ successful attempt was made to block one of his punts. The ex- tent of the injury was not determined but there is possibility he is out for the two remaining weeks of the sea- son. Should anything happen to Joe Neville, the loss of Crane would be a serious one, as he is an excellent punter. Crane played at Andovef and weighs 165 pounds,
