COMPETENT N EN- KEPT
CLOSE WATCH At POLLS
TODA Y, IN D. CA T|0NS
.PO|N 7 TO B| c VOTE

At every voting precinct in Carter
county today there was close watch
kept to see that every one votes as
they registered, and any person at
tempting TO vote the democratic ticket
after having registered as a republican
or a socialist merely for the purpose
of electing some one in the primary
to give them the double cross in the
general election, will garner a whole
lot of trouble for themselves.
This statement comes from Walter
Thompson, secretary OF the county
election board, who placed competent
on the voters, and as men selected
are familiar with the political views
of practically every voter, there was
little chance for any person to get
By with any thing of the kind.
The governor has offered a sub
stantial reward for the arrest Of any
person thus violating the law cover
ing the case, and this also had a
salutory effect upon those whose
scruples in such matters were a
little lax.
Early reports from over the. county
indicate that a heavy vote would be
polled today, and il is reported that
the women, whom it was thought
would take little interest in political
affairs, are voting and working for
the candidates Of their choice.
Weather conditions were favorable,
and there was no reason why re-
cord breaking vote should not be
cast. The farmers are all up with
their work, and as the candidates have
worked diligently among them for the
past six weeks. many exercised their
right of suffrage by being among
early ones at the polls today.
The Scott Ferris workers were ac-
tive early this morning and the in
dications are that he will receive al
overwhelming majority in Carter
county in his race against his op
ponent, T. P. Gore, for the United
States senate.

The Railroad HI. c. l..

A locomotive which in 1914 cost $27,876 will now cost $75,750, an in- crease of I'll per cent. In 1914 a railway had to pay only about 5 per cent interest on the money invested in a locomotive, while now it must pay about 71s per cent. Therefore, it's interest charges on locomotive bought six years ago were $1394 a year, while on locomotive bought now they will be about $5681 a year, an increase in fixed charges of BIO per cent. g. /t
 An average box car bought in 1914 cost about 5000, while now it would cost about $30O0, an increase of 200 per cent. The interest on the invest ment in the car in 1914 would have been about $50 a year, while now it would be about $225 year, an in crease of $50 per cent.
 The foregoing statistics illustrate the advances which have occurred in the prices of equipment and in the in terest that must be paid on the invest ment in it. The increases in the cost of constructing track. and bridges have not been so great but they have been very large. In 1915 ninety-foot through girder bridge could be bought and installed-not including masonry flor $6427, It would now cost $15,- IF, an increase of 135 per cent. These figures are based upon records of the actual expenditures of a cer- tain road. In 1915 this road paid $12,550 per mile for merely the track fastenings, ties and ballast used in the construction of new main track. The same materials would now cost
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-08-21

1 $26,234, an increase of 110 per cent. For like classes of materials used in building mile of side track, includ- ing two main track turnouts, this road in 1915 paid $862O. The same mater ials would now cost $16,904, an in- crease of 96 per cent.
 One important cause of the increase in railway expenses is the advance in the prices of all commodities and therefore in the amounts that the rail- ways have to pay for loss and damage to freight. A carload of apples in 1909 was worth $900, while today it is worth $2300, an increase of 155 per cent. In 1909 the freight revenue on a carload of apples from Yakima, Wash, to St. Paul was $225, while to- day it is $319.50, an increase of only 25 per cent. If a railroad paid a claim for the complete loss of a car load of apples in 1909, it took the freight revenue from three and half carloads of apples, while now it would take the freight revenue from seven carloads. .--s
 A certain railway recently was pre- sented claim for $4511 for the loss of carload of beef. The high value of the beef was of course principally due to the increases in prices within recent years. The freight earnings from the shipment were $113.40. Therefore, if the railway has to pay the entire claim it will take the rev enue from forty similar carloads of freight-an entire trainload.
 There is hardly a branch of rail road operation in which unit costs have not increased 100 to 300 per cent within the last five years.

Some years ago thousands of rat skins were imported from France and made into leather, but the manu- facture was not a commercial success.

How Spiders Travel.

Spinning webs is second nature with spiders. After. they are matched from the eggs in cocoon. they cling to- gether for about a week. Then they separate, but their legs do not carry them very far. Facing the wind, and standing on the tips of their legs, the baby spiders raise their abdomens and emit a silken thread. The faintest current waits the gossamer in the air, and when enough is let out to permit of aerial flight the insect drifts away. When it wishes to land it hauls in the thread. Wherever 1t lands it can spin webs without the slightest in structions from older spiders. Older male spiders seem to lose this gift. There are about $50 species of spi- ders in America, but only two. the house and garden spiders, are well known. .EIk

There are few people who realize
the handicaps of the small town
exhibitor and our continual fight TO
keep our prices down to reasonable
figure in order to hold our patrons and
give them sterling entertainment.
In most cases the small exhibitor
becomes so wrapped up in the desire
to please that the outcome of their
bookings leaves them very small
margin of profit. We feel that we
must give our patrons their moneys
worth 10 order to hold them and we
realize that we must hold them or
quit entirely. Therefore the small
exhibitors are now making nation
wide fight for better pictures at a
reasonable rental. Such pictures as
THE Miracle Man" have, so far,
only reduced the small! town rental To
$75 for single night. A few towns
might make expenses on such pro-
duCtion at 55c admission. But the
next program to follow is always run
at loss, so in many cases we are
forced To really give 55c show at a
35c admission in order to hold our
patrons and run our next regular
feature.

PEAT ESTABLISHED AS FUEL
In Denmark II Is Employed to Furnish
Power for Many Lines OF
Big Industries.

In 1919 peat established itself as
fuel more firmly than ever in Den
mark. 1t is used now by nearly all
the Industries, by the private rail-
roads and in the country districts.
where 1t is practically the only fuel.
Twelve million peat bricks were taken
from the marshes In the Odense dis
trict in 1918, and while figures are not
available for 1919, it Is estimated that
the number was considerably larger.
The electrical works of the town of
Svendberg have successfully used
peat gas instead of petroleum. AS a
locomotive fuel it proved to have some
disadvantages, requiring larger boil
er and giving off many sparks.
Peat producers have complained
that the governments maximum price
on this article has made its manufac-
ture difficult. There have been a num-
Der of failures. However, the quality
of peat has been greatly improved
during the last five years, and more
has been learned of its possibilities.
1t will therefore undoubtedly figure
much more than previously as an
economic factor In Denmark.-New

Physique Of Country and City Boys.

Under the selective draft law, regis
trants were given two physical exami-
nations, one by the local draft boards
and another by the army surgeons af-
ter the men who passed the local
board examination reached camp.
Analysis Of these records Of physi-
cal examinations shows that the cOun-
try boys made better records than
those from the cities; the white regis
trants better than the colored, and
the native born better records than
those of :llien birth. These differ
ences are SO considerable that 100000
country boys would furnish for the
military service 4.790 more soldiers
than woul,1 an equal number of city
boys. Similarly. 100000 whites would
furnish 1910 more soldiers than would
an equal number of colored. Finally,
100000 native born would Yield $500
more soldiers than would like num-
her of folte!gn. The Importance of
these figures may be appreciated by
noting that $500 men is equivalent to
an infantry regiment at full war
strength.
