ELECTION RETURNS.

Before the days of the telegraph and the tele-
phone the public used to be satisfied if it got
fun election returns within week or two. In a
great many country precincts. the vote had to be
sent in by special messenger on horseback livery
stable team.
In these times with the whole country bound
closely together by it's network of wires the
public is impatient if a good forecast of the cleo
ton results can not be had by 10 p. m. of election
day. However in spite of all modern facilities OF
communication many voting districts very tardy
in making their returns. 1t may be said that it
makes no particular difference to the public. STILL
people get good deal worked up over electoral
contests and the the results announced
the more quickly every one settles down to work
again.
1t used to be said that the political bosses would
hold back the votes of many precincts, to see
how much majority they needed, and then put
in whatever additional ballots they needed But in
these days of strict election laws in most states
such games too hazardous.
Probably election officers and ballot
counters are fellows who looking for political
picliings, and who are more skful in political
work than in clerical methods and calculations
This may account for some tardy returns When the
women get thoroughly into politics perhaps more
of the election officers will be trained business
girls who do clerical work in a quick and
methodical manner, and complete their figures
without the long delays that common.

Dear Sir: Isn't it just too lovely
that Harding won the election?
Now that we have Wilson and the
league of nations nicely crucified,
let's all settle down to peace and
prosperity 1t is such a comfort,
too, that our dear fat sons can just
sit in rocking chairs and wont
have to go to help any poor, down
trodden nations. But before we
grow too much accustomed to all
this solid comfort and lose our
mentality entirely, let's change our

sweet contentment. OF course, on
Sunday we will occasionally go to

away from some of these pretty
phrases. But time and ease will
eventually blot them out.

not take issue over any matter eX-
cept the league of nations, and pub
lie opinion in both parties is so
divided on that subject that it
should have been left to a refer
cndum vote and not have been
made a party issue.
Another reason why / do not
care to cast a presidential vote Is
because both the candidates of the
leading parties have broken the
moral law in their family ties-my
code is, divorce for one cause only,
and no remarriage in any case. 1
hold that to place a man who has
trespassed in this respect in the
presidential chair is a disgrace to
the nation for all time to come.
might have voted the prohibition
ticket, but it did not appear on tho
ballot of this state, the vote would
have been by way of protest at
best and my absense from the polls
serves the same purpose.
There is another reason still why
l do not care to support either of
the two leading parties. l believe
that the principles of the initiative,
the referendum and especially tho
imperative mandate should be, in
corpOrated in the national and state
constitutions, and neither Of these
parties are advocating these prin-
ciples, and the labor and socialist
parties have developed such a fan
atical tendency toward sabotage
and minority rule that even though
one should sympathiZe with their
principles it would be impossible
to admit their methods, and so it
happens that l find myself in the
position of a voter without party.
In such a case it seems to me that
a patriotic citizen may do his
country a better service by using
his influence in an effort to edu-
cate the public mind, to whatever
extent and in whatever manner he
is able, along the lines that he
considers good government than
it is to vote for men or parties that
do not represent his principles.
Very respectfully yours,

CLIFFORD PROVES
CONSIDERABLE.

CHAPTER CLXIX.
In the days that followed Cliff
ford never once referred to the
conversation we had had before |
left home; never once showed by
his manner that there was any
thing wrong, although | nervously
waited for him to do so. 1t was
perhaps easier for me that he had
insisted upon removing his trunk
| TO the little village hotel when he
found how fun the house was of
Hona's guests.
Morton lowering was evidently
puzzled clifford had appeared
glad to renew their acquaintance,
and when we were all together
there was absolutely nothing in his
manner to show that we were any
thing but the most prOsalc mar

and succeeded fairly we'll when
others were around.
Elsie watched us closely, too
closely for my comfort, but not

around l tried to talk more to
| Clifford, and occasionally would
defer some small matter to him
for her benefit.
Joyous Days.

grounds with her lover in the Aug

dress and swung a big leghorn hat
by its rose cplored ribbons in her
hand. Her wavy blonde hair was

face OF which rested a look of eX-
pectanCy that gave her an added

Her happiness at times like this

cheated. l never had had real

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JENNIES
BEADS.

Once upon time, as Uncle Wig
-gily was hopping not far from his
hollow stump BUNGALOW, he heard
a voice saying in sad and dolf
full tone:

can't find it anywhere. Now Jen-
ME can have no beads,"

The bunny gentleman peeked
through a crack between the sas-
safras bush and the birch tree and
saw Johnnie Bushytail, the boy

dried leaves with a stick.
"What's the matter, Johnnie?"
asked the bunny uncle. what

THE goods market is still
chaotic and the manufacturers are

Wiggily, and the old rabbit gentle
man took a stick in one paw, and
began poking among the dried
leaves. Uncle Wiggily thrust his
other paw in his pocket, and he
was feeling around for a loose ten
cent piece.
What the bunny had in mind to
do was this; When Johnnie was
not looking Mr.. Longears was 60
ing to drop another ten-cent-piecc
among the leaves, and then pro
tend to find it.
an that way Johnnie can get
Jennie's beads" thought the bun
ny gentleman. But as he poked
among the leaves, and not all
ready to drop the ten-cent piece,
Uncle Wiggily saw something that
made him change his mind.
q will try another plan" he
said. II think Jennie will like
these beads even better than the
kind Johnnie was going to get"
So, instead of dropping one Of
his own ten-cent pieces, and pre-
tending to find it for Johnnie, the
bunny gentleman said:
why don't you make a bead
necklace for your cousin, John
nie?"

have nice ones down in the four
and fiye-cent store. l was going to
buy one of those, only 1 dropped
the dime oh dear! Jennie will
think | don't like her if l don't
get something for her birthday"
"She will like something you
make yourself much better than
something you buy" Uncle Wiggi-
ly said. Come, Johnnie. I'll show
you how to make some beads for
the little chipmunk girl"
ooh, I can never make neck
lace of beads" declared Johnnie.
Eyes, you can" insisted Unclf
Wiggily "See, on the ground arc
hickory nuts, Chostnuts and acorns.
These nuts strung on cord, will
make as fine a necklace as any lit
tie chipmunk girl could WISH
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-11-06

But where shall / get a cord?'
asked Johnnie.
"Ho. Ho!" You aren't much
of a boy if you haven't a lot of
string in your pocket" said Uncle
Wiggily. With laugh Johnny
pulled out some strong cord.
That's to begin with" said the
bunny. Now help me gather some
acorns,. There are plenty left even
after you squirrels gathered your
winter supply"
But the nuts have no holes in,
as beads have" objected Johnny.
Even if / have a string / can t
put the nuts ON for they have no
holes"
Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily
with a laugh. "You must do a lit
tie thinking, Johnnie! Haven't you
sharp and pointed teeth, just made
for gnawing?"
"Of course I have" said John
ME. "All squirrels have sharp
teeth and l can gnaw nuts.
Then you can easily make holes
in the nuts and you and l are go
illS " ms LII J'lilll| . DNtttSi
the bunny gentleman said.
ooh, so l can!" cried Johnnie,
and he at once gnawed holes in a
hickory nut, a chestnut and an
acorn.
Now we shall start to make the
necklace for Lennie's birthday"
spoke Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, but the nuts are not pref
ty colors, like the beads / could
have bought if l hadn't lost my
ten-cent piece" chartered the
squirrel boy, after he had started
to make the beads.
1--WE can color the nuts with
the autumn leaves" said I'n"'e
Wiggily. "The leaves are red and
purple. golden and brown, yellow
and pink. I'm sure there couldn't
be no more lovely colors."
"Thats right" cried Johnni'.
Then he and Uncle WigGilY began
to string the nuts for Jenntcs
beads, Johnnie making holes in
them with his sharp teeth. And
the nuts We're cOlorcd, red, green,
gold, purple, pink and yellow with
tints from the fallen leaves.
And just as the last nut WAS
slipped on the string, the bad old
Fuzzy Fox came sneaking along,
crying:
I'm hungry! I'm hungry"
Well, have some left over hard
nuts!" cried Johnny.
Then he and Uncle Wiggily
threw hard nuts at the Fuzzy Fox,
hitting the bad chap on his soft
and tender nose, until he cried:
"Oh, I've had enough! I've had
enough" and away he ran, as fast
as he could go.
ooh, what a lovely string of nut
beads!" said Jennie, when Johnnie
gave her the birthday present. and
she kissed him and Uncle Wiggily
SO this teaches US that sometimes
it is good luck to lose ten cents.

Yet, perhaps, the remainder of my

against the arrangement. The

rangement when financial condi-
tons make it necessary for two
women to ''jOin forces in order to
have a home.
The saddest word in the Eng
lish language is "homeless" And
in order to have a home a woman
should be willing to put up with
few minor unpleasantnesses. |
believe that when two women en-
ter into joint home agreement
they should say frankly to each
other: Eyes, we know there may
be little battles of will. 1t is quite
possible that one or the other will
have to give in over many ques-
tons. ! But let us try to be as fair
as possible and take turns in Civ
ing in. And we'll consider our
little periods of friction a part of
the price we must pay for our
home"
Only by facing the facts square
ly and calling spades spades, can
two women run a home together
and yet remain friends. There
must be concessions on both sides.
And these things must be talked
out and decided uDOn-not locked
up in the heart to glimmer
through in vengeful looks and
chilly silenCes.
But "a little bird has told me"
that there are women who are big
enough of soul and religious
enough and human and kindly
enough to get along without any
friction at all, in the joint running
Of their home. And do you know,

couldn't become like this if they
wanted to?

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER G, 1920
; = = = . . . . . ~%A#$% .

AstrolOgers read this as an UNI
important day. Saturn dominates
the planetary government by an
evil aspect
Whatever is old comes under a
malefic influence at this time,
thus what is long established may
be undermined.
There seems to be a threatening
sway for all the resources that are
buried in the earth. This may
mean that there will be trouble
over both oil and coal supplies
during the winter
The aged partake of the sinister
influences of this day and should
safeguard their health as well as
their feelings, for they may be
sensitive to both disease and un-
kindness.
During this rule of the stars the
mind may be restless and dis
turbed. Melancholy and depres-
sion are supposed to be common
when Saturn is in menacing place.
Farmers should do all possible
to guard against losses at this
time for the stars seem to fore
shadow unexpected weather con-
ditions.
According to the seers the girls
who do not marry before the new
year will have fewer chances than
formerly, for there will be reac-
ton from all the sentimental in
clinations that marked wartime
and the period Immediately fol-
lowing the armistice.
Theft so much on the increase
in recent months will be even
more prevalent during the winter.
The position of Neptune again
points to immortality and to many
scandals. A revival of Oldtime
standards of life is prophesied aft
er much evil has been uncovered.
There is a sign read as denoting
Diplomatic blunders and misun-
among the nations of
the world.
Party splits and discussions in
congress are prognosticated ana
they may be more serious than i'll
any previous session OF recent
times.
Pcrsors whose birthdate it is
have the augury of many benefits
and fayors from friends. They
should be wise in conducting their
business affairs. Young women
will have offers of marriage.
Children born on this day may
have many ups and downs in life,
sometimes attaining great fortune
and success. Girls will be lucky in
choosing q husband.

ELECTION DAY.

I love the merry Christmas Day
And hold its meaning dear,
And l observe in fitting way
The birth of every year.
But still the greatest day of all
In freedoms land, l say,
Is this which we have grown to call
Our own Election Day.
This is all free mems day of days,
When there's no creed class,
The humblest now his voice may raise
And none may him surpass;
The poor man and the millionaire.
With conscience as their guide.
In freedoms greatest duty share.
AS equals, side by side
Today the humble man is great
Nor need he fear to speak,
To him other may dictate.
Today there are no weak;
The timid need not backward lag,
But boldly they may stand.
AS true protectors of the flag.
And rulers of the land
/ sometimes think of all the days
Which men have set apart.
To celebrate in fitting ways
By service of the heart,
The one which ought to mean the most
Where freedom has full sway
Is this, observed from coast to coast
Our own Election Day.
