for the strict enforcement Of the Eighteenth
Amend ment and the Volstead Law, 32,445; for a
modification Of the Volstead Law to permit light
wines and beer, SOS; for repeal Of the amend
ment 22547. In favor of soldiers bonus--Yes,

This count is from the first hundred thousand
ballots in distribution of ten million. Each week
the report Of the will be given in the Digest

DR.. STOETZER TALKS ON

talked on the story II J Jonah at
the morning service yesterday. He
declared it to be nne IF the most
wonderful stories il; al literature
IN regard to argument s,d-
vanced by some That Jonah was
not swallowed oy great isl,
Doctor Stoetzer said that too
many people were prone to dis
pute Bible stories and yet to &C
cept as facts things Just as mar
velolus. He said that people will
accept the verdict OF science as to
the size of the sun and the speed
with which the various planets
move. but that they then rebel on
the simple proposition that the
Lord could prepare a large fish to
swallow Jonah.
