LITTLE CHANGE
IN VOTE Count
Official Canvass of Mercer Returns
Shows Slight Variations In
Totals.

The official canvass of the presi-
Dental vote in Mercer county was
completed by the county clerk and
his corps of assistants yesterday
afternoon and shows only slight
changes in the unofficial count as it
was made at the polls Tuesday eve
ming.
In most cases the changes were
only to add slightly to the already
large Republican majorities.
Samuel A. Nelson, who has been
circuit clerk for several terms. was
reelected with only slight opposi-
ton. Henry Blackstone, the DEM
ocratic candidate, secured slightly
over one-third as many votes as
were cast for Mr.. Nelson.
Congressman w. ]. Graham found
his lead in Mercer county to be
slightly increased by the official
count.

Moline high school will probably
be held up as an example of the
success of the halliday study sched-
ule to permit students to earn
while they learn, in a talk on
Wealth as an Objective" to be de-
livered by Principal E. P. Nutting
at the city superintendent and
principals conference at Cham
paign, Nov. 1913.
Moline high school during the
past few years has paid special at
tention to keeping up enrolment IN
the upper classes and endeavored
to find some way by which the
working student can continue his
education. Establishment of an
employment bureau under super
vision of a faculty member has been
unusually successful in advancing
this program and this year the bu-
reau has attained its highest, devel-
opment.

will be a Moline representative at

HILLS BLAMED

PRICE OF milk
Cest Of Delivering MIX Is Reason
Ter Price-Should Be 40 Cents
Quart.

Milk should be worth several
cents a quart more in Moline than
II level city, declares Frank By
era. manager of the Midvale dairy
farm, in reply to the complaints
Of Moline housewives on the high
ryice OF milk In this community.
moline is naturally a hard place
to deliver goods" Mr.. Byers stated.
"The hills are hard on vehicles and
the steps are hard on men,"
TT Is true the price of milk feeds
has dropped about 10 per cent but
the price of bottles and caps is GO
ing up" he added. "The price of a
new wagon is from $500 to $3.50
and the shoeing Of n team costs
more than it ever did During the
winter months a milk team needs
new shoes every three weeks.
1.-THE price of milk has been too
low. 1t has been low because the
work Of producing it has been done
by women and children working
without pay. Should a dairyman
conduct his business on an S-hour
basis with overhead expenses such
us some line of business have, the
consumer would be paying 40 cents
a quart for milk, and not 20 cents. u

ALEDOLADIEs ON
COON HUNT HAVE
EXCITING TINE

Coon hunting is scheduled to be-
come q popular sport in Mercer
county, according to predictions by
a number of Aledo women, who &C
companied an expedition in search
of the animals last night. A conf
pany of 70, among whom were six
women, left Aledo in seven automo-
biles early last evening. Accord
ing to the ladies, one of the most
enjoyable evenings which they had
ever spent was the result. The
party was accompanied by four
trained coon dogs and when they
reached the hunting grounds south
west of this city the dogs were
turned loose in the cornfield and
the chase was on. Before many
minutes had passed one of the ami
mails was freed by the faithful
dogs and the ladies all demanded
that he be shaken out of the tree
so as to be given chance to fight
for his life with the dogs. When
the coon hit the ground the four
dogs bounced on him, but for the
sake of sport all but one dog was
dragged off. The fight which re-
suited will probably be long re-
membered by the six women Of the
party. Numerous friends of the six
ladies have been told of last nights
event and several Aledo husbands
will probably find it necessary to
secure a hunting license before
long.

DEFEAT HANDED
TO ALED0 HIGH
Alexis Eleven Scores In First Quar-.
ter-Held for Next Three
Periods.

Members of the Aledo high school
football team and local fans were
crashing their teeth last night
after the final whistle had blown
in the football game between the
local team and the Alexis hlgn
school eleven. showing that the
Alexis warriors had won by score
of II to 0. The winning score came
in the first few minutes OF play,
when an Alexis runner got away
after a tumble by the Aledo play
ers and crossed the goal for a
touchdown.
The Aledo team frightened up In
the second quarter and for the next
three periods they held the Alexis
men without scoring. Playing a
much better class of football than
had been displayed this year, the
Aledo team should have won yes
terday's game. 1t was evident dur
ing the last three periods OF the
game that the locals were much
better trained than their opponents,
but superior weight enabled the
Alexis men to defend their goal
with success.
Following are the lineups for
yesterdays game:

Grain SELLING
IN SMALL LOTS
CAUSES BREAK

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Wheat prices
broke sharply today because Of
general selling Of all grains in
small lots by commission houses.
The weakness in exchange with
sterling quoted under $3.4o. = new
low on the movement, combined
with the bearish construction placed
on Julius H. Barnes speech before
the American farm bureau fedora
ton yesterday, were the main de-
pressing influences. After starting
i cent to ~ cents under yester-
days finish, with December $1.95
to SIG, and March $1.91h to $1.92,
q further weakness set in and car
ried prices lower.
The market continued bearish and
closed near the low point Of the day
at a net loss of SIC to sac from
yesterdays finish with December
100 to 1904 and March 1877 to
187A.
Corn followed wheat, but buying
against bids became q factor in
checking the break. most Of the
support being around the May de-
livery. After starting n cent to y
cent lower, with December 82%
cents to 82A cents. the market RAJ
lied slightly.
Later a reaction took hold Of the
corn market, under general selling
and the close was about the inside
figures of the day and week with
prices on the deferred deliveries
about the lowest on the crop. At
the finish prices showed net loss
of 1Nc to 21sc with December
81kc to 81Ac.
Oats were in sympathy with 9th

ECONOMIC CRISIS
QUICKENS TIME
OF CABLEGRAMS

Tokio.-The economic crisis in
Japan has had the result Of i'm
mensely quickening the time for
transmission Of cablegrams between
Japan and the United States. A fall
ing of in business means a less
crowded cable and messages that
took 10 days and over during the
war now 60 through in less than
"a hours.
The ministry Of communications
has cancelled the war decree, CIV
ing the same person the right to
send only one urgent cablegram per
day. Anyone may now send an I'M
limited number OF urgent messages.
Such cablegrans are always re-
stricted to 10 words and cost three
times the ordinary commercial
messages
