TEACHERS COULD VOTE
Judge Reid Gives Opinion
That They Are Residents
of the Voting Precinct.

With reference to teachers vot-
ing in a city where they are
teaching. or university students
voting in the cities where they
are attending school, reporter
interviewed Judge A. II. Reid,
who gave the following informa-
ton:
Teachers who come here and
expect to teach from year to
year, can vote here.
"The question is one of intent
and has been decided in the case
of university students. Students
who have home elsewhere and
who spend their vacations at
home and who do not expect to
make the university city their
home but merely obtain their ed
ucation there tor a specified time,
cannot vote in that city where
they are receiving their instruc-
ton, but must vote in the city
where their home is. On the
other hand. students who are
making their own living while
attending school, and who do
not 60 home regularly on vaca-
tions, NAV vote in the town
where they are receiving their
education"

An Easy Winter?

According to Indians from the
Court O'Reilles Indian reserva-
ton, the approaching winter
will be exceptionally mild and OF
short duration. The Indians
base their claims upon the fact
that at this time other years
cold weather had been expert
enced; that the wild animals are
not providing for the winter as
they did other years; fur OH the
animals is very light and the
homes of the animals not thick
and substantial so as to ward
off cold weather.

ADMINISTRATION
THE
A Decided Protest Against
the Wilson Method of
Handling Foreign Affairs.

The Republican landslide which
swept Senator Warren 6. Hard
ing into the white house and in
creased the Republican majority
III the house and senate. is a pro-
test vote against the Wilson ad-
ministration and his handling
of foreign affairs. 1t was not a
vote against Governor Cox. al
though he made a poor candi.
date. but was the natural result
of dissatisfaction growing out of
a zone man government"
How general this protest vote
was registered is best evidenced
by the fact that every northern
state was carried by good major
tiles, some of the "border states"
went over into the Republican
column, while the normal major.
tiles, in the "solid south" were
cut down in the popular vote.
The wave of Republicanism
carried with it many congress
men and United States senators.
and safe majorities are claimed
in both houses. Senator Hard
ing will, therefore, not be handi-
capped by hostile congress; on
the contrary he will be given
every opportunity to carry out
the platform pledges of the party
at its Chicago convention

LOST IN THE CORN BELT
Thurston and Englestead See
ing Sights on Trip to the
Southland.

Robert Thurston of Dam lake
started last Thursday for Jack
sonville, Florida. intending to-
winter near that city. He was
accompanied by Mel Englestead
who will drive his car to the
southland.
Yesterday a letter was received
by the News from Mr.. Thurstou,
dated Nov. 7th at Franklin, In
diana. 1t stated they had been
lost only once so far, and that
was in the corn belt of Iowa and
Indiana. Bob says the corn is
so high one cannot see the sun,
and so thick you lose the road.
Investigation showed him that
some of the stalks had twenty
seven ears, the smallest being the
langth of baseball bat. Said
that the amount of corn ne had
already seen would feed all the
deer in Northern Wisconsin.
So far the first leg of his two
thousand mile journey has given
him good roads and fine weather
and barring his being lost in the
corn. and also getting mixed up
in getting through the city of
Indianapolis. everything has
been beyond expectations.

Monday night gave this region
the first snow of the season, and
today's registration showed
near, the zero mark. October
was certainly one balmy mouth.
and November up to Monday
night was regular fall weather.
And it did not fail to bring out
the old timer with his prediction
that this winter will be mild
one. Might be, but if memory
serves us right. these same old
timers gave a like prediction
last fall-and we all know how
they gummed up the weather
the whole winter, beginning the
first of October and finishing us
all up the first of May. Never
again.

C1TlHE best tip-off as to the amazing
 "comeback' of the turf game is
 = the prices which famous thorough. breds are bringing these days on the auction block.
 The sale not so long ago of Tracery, an American bred horse, for something close to s2OO,000 shows the tremendous demand for stallions. Six years ago a stud horse of Tracery's Blood lines pro .bably would have sold for $25 000-and the owner would have considered himself rather fortunate to secure such a sum.
 When the Hughes administration of New York state kicked out the thoroughbreds and other commonweaths followed the lead, racing knew it's darkest days. Horses which up to that time were worth a king s ransom tufnbled almost to nothing in price. There were no more races and so they could not race. And there was no demand for their foals because there was no place to send the offsprings after purses. The breeding industry suffered and almost went into decay. Racing horses became a drug on the market hardly worthy of their feed.
 And then came the resumption of racing
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-04-21

in New York state and the revival of the sport in other districts. Of sudden, horses began to command huge prices. Owners who. largely through sentiment had retained their sterling thorough breds. found eager bidders for those which could perform services in breed ing stables. YearIings were greatly sought after and each new auction brought about bigger sums then ever before.
 At the present time race horses are worth more money as a whole than at any time in the entire history of the turf. Whenever a bunch of yearlngs are placed on sale there is a wild scramble for them In days gone by, an offer of g 800 to $500 was considered big for an untried youngster. In these days, the bidding usually starts around the s5.Oe5 or the $7,50O mark and keeps on well into five figures. The record books are clutter ed with sales of horses for figures well beyond $15,000.
 Nothing better Illustrates the marvellous demand for race horses than the offer of s30000O which was made for Purchase, owned by Sam Hildreth. It is real offer and if Hlldbreth had accepted it., the cash would have been paid over i'm mediately. But great was the sum, it did

Rival Cohorts In Trim For Action Today

The rival cohorts of Birmingham Southern and Howard are primed for action. These ancient foes, the Pan thers and Bulldogs, tangle affairs on Eagles field Wednesday afternoon in the initial meeting of the diamond sea- son between the warriors of East Lake and Owenton.
 The rival aggregations, friendly foes of long standing, are feeling all pug naciouslike on the eve of the battle The coaches. Charlie Brown for the Methodists and Chester Dillon for the Haptists, put on the finishing touches for the annual argument Tuesday aft ernoon in the form of blackboard work outs for their respective squads.
 Jupiter Pluvius prevented the daily practice encounters Tuesday and the student bodies of both schools are anx- icusly doping out the weather card for Wednesday afternoon.
 Coach Brown has three good twirlers to send to the mound to hold in check the Bulldog attack. Any one of the trio of hurlers, Speer, Malone and Freeman, pay essay the pitching duties for the afternoons fracas, and any one Of the three will deliver the goods. The odds

 The hurling selection of Coach Ches- ter Dillon will likely fall to Johnny In- gram. star right-hander of the Baptists Ingram has been showing excellent form in his recent appearances on the mound. King, the speed merchant, will either draw the duty Wednesday or Saturday. when second encounter is scheduled. Matthews and Boozer are other likely twirling prospects of the Howard staff.
 Few changes will be made by the rival coaches in the lineup for the battle. The two hines are at the top of their form this season, each having completed fairly successful road trip. and the clash Wednesday afternoon will be one of the most fiercely comba ed that ever took place between the two institutions. And that's going some. according to the alumni who have wit messed the annual debates on both dia- mond and gridiron.
 Saturday night saw both squads roll in from their road trip. Birmingham divided a two-game series in Greens boro with the Southern Military cadets The collegians of Howard split a twin game series with Mississippi Agricul- tural and Mechanical and lost both ends of the duo of contests to Alabama
 The line-ups for the opposing aggre- cations for Wednesdays fracas are as follows:
 Panthers-Speer or Malone pitcher; Griffin, catcher; Stuart, first base: Bur ney, second base; Freeman or Baker, shortstop; Bradford, third base: Rowe, left field: Norton, center field John- ston, right field.

MIKE DONAHUE SEND s TWO YOUNGSTERS HERE FORE. A. C. TOURNAMENT
Additional Entries Include Five Camp Taylor Men and Ashton Donza Who Will Soon Enter Professional
 Boxing Ring

Mike Donahue is sending a couple of lads over from Auburn for the B. A. c. boxing bouts tomorrow night with the. message that they will bear watching in the invitation tournament. They are Cannon, in the 145-pound class, and cNeal, in the 1S5-pound weight. They are touted as real ones and some snappy competition is expected from the Au- burn products and proteges of Dona- hue.
 Just at the time when local 115- rounders were beginning to feel as if they could enter the tournament with a happy heart comes the announcement il om New Orleans that Ashton Donza featherweight, will be here this week to participate in the meet.
 Donza, although weighing but 115 PC unds, will in all probability fight in the 125-pound class. At present he holds the southern title of each divi- sion. The Crescent City lad is one of the best little fighters that ever graced lccal rings.
 Donza soon will abandon amateur rings to try his luck in professionalism, and. this may be his last appearance in the amateur ring.
 Guillot, present. holder of the south ern 10s-pound championship, has sent word that he will be here also. Guillot is a classy little boxer.
 Howard Smiles, local bantamweight, is anxious to get another whack at Guillot. A nice bout should take place if Guillot returns. These two lads will most likely be matched before the tour Lament closes.
 Word has been sent the B. A. c. of ficials promoting tho tournament that five Atlanta boxers have been picked to represent the Windy City in the meet here. The names of these boxers have been mailed, and will be officially entered when they arrive.
 Louisville will also send five men These boxers will be picked from Camp Taylor. The Atlanta men are from Camp Gordon. Krauss, 15S-pound champ may be entered with the Louis vile bunch.
 At present there are 55 boxers whose names have been turned in. The five from Atlanta and the five from Louis- vile will bring the grand total up to 45.
 With the addition of Donza and Guil- lot to the lists, competition in the tour nament bids fair to be of the keenest variety. In every class there is either champ or a runner-up.
 The following summary will give

not tempt the veteran turfman. for he reckons that Purchase, as money win Ter and on a breeding farm. eventually will net him more than the fortune ts1y was offered.
 The racing season of 1920 got under way in Maryland just few days ago. A success was anticipated but it was nothing like what has happened. Although the weather has been bad during the majority of the April days, the attend ance at each meet practically has taxed the capacity of the parks
 sThe horses start to run around the New York ovals in the middle of May. All of Gotham and vicinity is wildly eager for the day to come. The outpoanngs in 1919 were universally big and on holi- days were of record smashing proportions. But it is anticipated that all records for attendance will be eclpsed in 1920.
 For New York like Maryland, Louisi- ana Kentucky and other states where racing is permitted, has gone horse crazy. proving that the sport of kings has come back in fashion remarkable all most beyong description in words.

 125-pound class, Donza, champion Chestain, runner-up both entered. 135-pound class, Sherrod. champion; Evans, runner-up; both entered. 145-pound class, Burlington, cham pion; Red" Johnson, runner-up; both entered.
