Republicans yesterday engaged
in the hottest primary battle in the
county's history and unofficial
tabulations were not ac-
cepted by opposing candidates to-
day, who said that it would require
an official count to determine NOM
inees for sheriff and treasurership
On the face of available figures
this noon Charles B. TruXell, Mo-
line, was leading George 81. Rich
mond, Rock Island, in the race for
sheriff by a 3S majority; John G,
Miller, sheriff and candidate for
treasurer, was leading Chester l..
OIine, his Moline opponent, by~1t
votes.
For the other offices newspaper
returns gave such maiorities to the
leaders that the official count will
make no difference in the results
n. Z. Munson was leading Carl An
derson for probate clerk by 632
and Benjamin D. Farrar had de-
feated George d. Long for probate
Judge by 933. Ben A. Stewart
third man in the probate Judge
race, was trailing nearly 1000 be-
hind Long.
Politicians had been awaiting
close race for the sheriff and treas
urer nominations but their predic-
tions did not encompass the shift
ing favoritism of ballots that the
incoming returns gave. In both
offices a three-cornered race added
to the uncertainty and indefinite
ness of the results and gave oppor-
tunity for wide speculation upon

JUDGE EDWARDS
TO GET REPORT
ON BANK BOOKS
M ystery Surrounds
the Examination
Today.

Waukegan, ILL.,, April Icy
the Associated Press.)-A written
report on the records of accounts
involved in the prosecution of Gov
ernor Len Small, found in the
books of the First Trust & Savings
bank of kankakee, will be present
ed to Judge Claire C. Edwards to-
morrow by H c. Burdette, special
examiner appointed by the court.
Mr.. Burdette examined the books
of the bank, sealed those portions
not bearing on the governors case,
and turned the remainder over to
the states accountants in their
search for evidence to be used in
the prosecution when the governor
comes to trial next Monday on
charges of conspiracy to embezzle
state funds while state treasurer.
Mystery surrounded the examina-
ton today. Roy Taylor, assistant
cashier of the bank, had been sub
poenaed to appear in court this
morning for examination by the
state as to the records of the bank
which are said to be missing, but
when Judge Edwards called the
case attorneys for both sides said
there would be no action today.
Ralph Dady of Waukegan, appear
ed for the state and Alexander F.
Beaubein, another local attorney,
for the governor.
IS Jurors Drawn.
Seventy-fiye names of prospective
jurors for the first day of the trial
were drawn today and subpoenas is
sued. Sheriff Elmer Green will
start serving the summonses this
afternoon. A proposal by the court
that names of men known to be in
eligible for service be omitted from
the list was dropped after Mr. Beau
bein declined to depart from the
previous agreement under which
the list was drawn. Judge Edwards
estimated that fully 35 of the rs
drawn for the first day are ineli-
gible for various reasons, some hav-
ing died since 1920, when the poll
list was prepared, and some being
entitled to exemption because of ad-
vanced age, illness, or the nature

An up-to-date bank ad-

form two functions; first.
it should educate the peo-

for; second, it should en-
courage frugality and
thrift by inculcating the
habit of saving. The great
mass of pepole look upon
a bank as an instrument
for increasing the wealth
of the wealthy. We have
in several cities of this
country wonderful monu-
ments to the efficacy of
modern up-to-date bank
advertising. They have
cultivated the saving habit

not only educated the peo-
pie to eat more bread, but
to eat more of a particular
brand of bread.
Of course, white flour
bread is not "the staff of
life" but most people re-
gard it as such. Bread
eating is an Anglo-Saxon
habit, and no one can ever
break it. You can produce
all sorts of whole wheat
breads, graham and bran
breads, but the people go
right on eating white flour
bread. And along comes the
yeast manufacturer who
spends a lot of money to
induce the people to eat
more bread, and to do this
both the baker and yeast
manufacturer have to use
the newspaper because it
is the medium that goes to
the people who eat, and.
goes right into the homes
where the meals are pre-
pared.
When we come to bank
ers we find hundreds of
conservative institutions
going into very carefully
planned advertising cam
paigns to teach people the
uses of a bank and to ad-
vertise the service that
are rendered by a particu-
lar bank or trust company.
The great mass of the peo-
pie are ignorant of the real

Middle Aged Men Are
Dangerous, Says
Lady Forbes
by Universal Service.

LONDON, April pa man
is more dangerous" for women
between the ages of thirty and
fifty than at any other, declares
Lady Angela Forbes In an arti-
Gle published today.
Actually a man can be dam
gerous the minute that he looks
at woman with the eyes of a
half-awakened school boy. There
is no age when q man can be
trusted not to make a fool Of
himself if the time and circum-
stance are on the side of the
temptress," says Lady Forbes.
"The man who is married to
a woman of his own age, who
has not worn quite so well as
himself, is also easily captivat-
ed. To my mind the charms Of
youth are much overrated, and
the boy of twenty, however
charming he is at that age,
will be far more dangerous
when he is ten or tweEty years
older.
"The man with a past is more
attractive than the man with
a future, and the combination
of the two is not far from
ideal"

Bakers and Bankers

There isn't any connec-
tion between bakers and
bankers-except that good
bakers sometimes become
good bankers-but when |
think of the industries that
have been most cOnspicu-
GUS in adopting modern
advertising methods to sell
their product I think of
bakers and bankers.
A few years ago nobody
thought of advertising
"the staff of life" A loaf
of bread was the same as
any other loaf of bread.
It is a household necessity
why advertise bread?
But loaves of bread are not
all alike. The wonderful
progress in the development
of baking machinery has
given us loaves Of bread
that are different-loaves
of bread that have indi-
viduality-loaves that are
products of improved meth
ods and new formulas.
Large combinations Of
capital have gone into the
baking business, thereby
cheapening and improving
the product, reducing the
overhead, and increasing
the volume of sales. Pro-
ducing a loaf of distinctive
individuality, they have
also stamped it with a
trademark. And then comes
the advertising man. He
has shown the baker that
he can just as well sell
100000 loaves as 100
loaves and it is his job to
put them across. He has

CLAIM THIEVES
STARTED BLAZE
| IN CLARENDON
Heinman's General Store Is
Destroyed After String of
8urglaries.

CLARENDON, Va, April "a
Clarendon's orgy of housebreaking
resulted in a fire early yesterday
morning which completely destroy
ed Heinman's general store in Clar-
sndon, on Wilson boulevard.
Up to Saturday night twenty
nine homes had been entered by
burglars and cash approximating
$500, together with several watches,
had been stolen.
Sheriff Clements and Deputy
Kines have been patroling the roads
for several nights in an effort to
apprehend the robbers. but so far
have obtained no clues. Despite the
fact that more than a score OF
homes have been entered, no one
az yet has been able to give an ac-
curate description of the men. Sew
eral have declared there are two
robbers, and that they first re.
move their shoes on the outside
and move about the house in their
stocking feet. Footprints OF stock
inged feet have been found out
side several houses which have
been robbed.
Following the blaze at the Helm
man store the clerk on duty de-
clared that there had been no sign
Of fire when he closed the place at
s:30 Saturday night and that only
safety matches were kept In the
place, which precluded the posi-
bility of the blaze having been
started by rats or mice. Although
no definite evidence could be OBJ
tained, Chief Eaton Of the local
firt department, declared his be-
lief that robbers had entered the
place and caused the conflagratlon
by throwing lighted matches about
while searching for loot.
The fire was discovered at a.
m. by neighbOr, and, although
the Clarendon department was on
the scene in seven minutes, the
flames had gathered such headway
that they could not be checked
and the building was burned to the
foundation.

REPUBLICAN SILVER TROPHY

The Public School Athletic Meet
ended yesterday when the Capitol
completed its postponed meet and

averages for the schools. On the
basis of enrolment. the number of
contestants actually entered in the
meet and the number OF points scored,
the Douglas school was declared
winner.
500 per cent with a total of So points
scored. The first prize banner and
frhe Arizona Republican silver loving
cup will be presented to the Douglas
school where it will remain until next
years meet when it will again be
offered as first prize to the schools
entered in the meet. The Douglas
school wins custody of the cup for
one year and the name of the school
will be engraved on the trophy. The
cup becomes the permanent property
OF the school winning it three times.
1t is not necessary that the wins be
consecutive in order to be figured in
the three years.
Considerable comment on the basis
Nor figuring the winners developed
following yesterdays announcement
on how the winner would be determ-
ined. But study of the plan shows
it to be the fairest way to determine
the standing OF the schools. If 1T
were possible to hold individual meets
at each school and eliminate all con-
testants to a specified number each
school could enter a team in the
finals. There are over 5000 kiddies
enrolled in the public schools and to
follow this plan would require several
weeks. The plan adopted by Coach
Welt serves the same purpose and is
accomplished at simultaneous meets
held throughout the city.

would have a big handicap over the
