With the returns practically all In,
the size of the vote in the entire state Ia
2O5, 604 votes. Just how many of these
ballots were cast by women it is hard to
estimate because the size of total votes
vary with the different years. The vote
of 1918 was very light, the lightest since
1902, totaling III, $3.50 votes, 80 the mar
gin between that and the one taken
Monday is $685.; but on the other hand
the vote cast four years ago on the last
presidential year was the largest In the
history of the state-151, 430. 1t will
thus be seen that it was possible for the
male portion of the state to cast vote
of that size. The margin between the
1915 vote and that of Monday was 81, ia
which quite likely was largely feminine
As to the political division for the female
vote it seems to be almost entirely
Republican. Mr.. McIntire's vote In
creased only 1897 votes, while Colone
Parkhurst gained 72,12S over the vot'
cast for Governor Milliken two year.

You, In your silent majesty,
Standing amid garden fair
with pansies Watching by you there
With messy camomile about,
And daisies, their pink buds just out.
How can you from the brown earth grow
That tint Of blood on radiant snow?
What pigment Is there meath your feet
That gives you all this beauty sweet9
Ahi only your Creator knows
The mystery that In you growsi
For far above our mortal KEN
Above the mental scope Of men
The mystery lies; yet from above
There comes the whisper,-"God is Love-"

EDGAR-MORGAN FIRM
BUYS new ELEVATOR

The Edgar Morgan company, whose
grain elevator recently burned with a.
loss of close to half a million dollars,
has purchased the mill formerly owned
by the Yates & Donelson company, To-
Gated at Mississippi and Railroad ave I
nues 1t was first necessary to buy
the lease on the mill, which was owned
by the Stout Hunt Milling company.
1t was at first thought that the Ed
gar Morgan company would have to
build new mill and elevator, but it
was fortunate enough to acquire the
Yates & Donelson mill. When the lat
ter company vacated its mill it left
much valuabel milling machinery which
was being used by the Stout Hunt com
pany. This Is included in the sale OF
the property, and according to John b
Edgar, this will materially reduce the
cost of remodeling and refurnishing. He
says that the new mill will increase
the output of the company from $50 tons
of meal in a 10-hour day to 500.
The Edgar Morgan company expects
to be in its new home by Aug l.. The
plant is a large one, and is sprinkled
throughout. Most Of the machinery can
be used to grind feed as well as meal.
and only small outlay of money will
convert the plant from meal and flour
mill to a feed MILL
