A. R. JEWETT TALKS TO
THE ROTAR|ANS
W. II. Hight Tells OF the Rotary Con-
clave mt Poland Springs. Special
Music

There was a good attendance of
members at the weely luncheon Of
the Rotary Club Tuesday noon.
Ralph Jewell and Ivan Lang, two
members at the weekly luncheon Of
present and Langdon A. Jewett of
New York City. The principal
speaker was A. r. Jewett, who spoke
on mis- own classification. that OF mar
kets. THE market business Is very
complex and Is one that deserves lots
of consideration as our criticism or
praise is due to satisfaction given
the inner man. Quality and condi
ton starrs with the farmer and grow
or of meats and produce of all kinds
that create what we want to supply
our table," said Mr. Jewett, and he
continued, quality of meats have
very wide range and the public are
easily deceived as invariably the
people judge by first cost. He then
continued to speak of the scant num-
Der of growers who feed and market
their products properly and also that
few dealers took proper care of the
foodstuffs that the public need and re-
quire. Mr. Jewett considered brief
ly the position of market men in elm
mating disease; also that the amount
of supply is governed by demand and
the latest methods of marketing by
the producer and packer who control
to great extent prices paid producers.
Mr.. Jewett spoke of early methods OF
conducting local markets and com
pared their supply to the supplies OF
the present time. He stated that the
oldest dealer that he could remember
IL FAff
father of the late Lyman b. Jewett
and said that Flagg C Tantish as he
understood 1t were the first in town
10 import green vegetables out OF
their season. He spoke of the value
to him of the strange cooling plant in
enabling him to eliminate losses and
to give customers goods in better
form. Very Interestingly Mr.. Jewett
took up the different methods in max
ing use of the waste and the utiliza-
ton of by-products. Prices. Mr.
Jewett said, depend on conditions at
time of sale. and with regard to com
parison of the price of single cut OF
meat with price of the live animal the
speaker stated that a comparison was
unfair. In the first place. only about
one-half of the steer and two-thirds
of the hog are meat, he explained.
Mr.. Jewett closed his address with
some advice as to the utilizing OF
cheaper cuts and closed with an in
teresting letter telling where gro
GERS profits go.
Special attention was called to the
lecture by DR.. Barker on October %
and w. II. Hight gave report of the
Rotary Conclave sessions which he
attended at Poland Springs.
A special feature of the music was
that furnished by Walter C. Allen,
banjoist. He played accompaniment
with Mrs. Oddly at the piano and gave
two solo numbers.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED LocA-
TON OF ROAD

To All Whom It May Concern:
The Board Of County Commission
ers of Park County, State Of Wyom-
ing, have decided to locate a road
commencing at q point in the State
Highway approximately so feet north
of the bridge across the drainage
ditch, north Of Garland, Twp. Sc N,
Range SO w. of the 9Th Principal
Meridian, Wyoming, and running
thence in an easterly direction to the
bridge across lateral D, thence run
ming in an easterly direction around
the rocky point about 200 feet east
of the bridge, thence to lateral 67-F
and terminating at the Frank w.
Reed place in T. Sc NJ, R. SO West
of the 9Th Principal Meridian, Wyo-
ming, in Park County, Wyoming,
said road to be co feet wide, 80 feet
on each side of the line above de-
scribed.
All objections thereto or claims for

There are 531 votes in the elector-
al college. 266 are necessary for cleo
ton. If this poll correctly indicates
the way the election will go, then
Coolidge will be shy some 81 votes
of election and the choice will be
made in Congress.
However, there are many factors
to be considered. First is the fact
that three states, Maine with 6 votes,
Arizona with 8 and Delaware with 8,
have not voted in this presidential
poll. Second is the very surprising
situation shown in this poll. whereby
Ohio with "a votes is in the La Fol-
lette column and Oklahoma with 10
votes is in the Coolidge column.
Republican leaders believe firmly
that they will carry Ohio. 1t is what
is known as a Republican state"
Were La Toilette not in the race,
there is little doubt but that Cool
idge would carry it. However, La
Toilette has the support of the six
strong Scripp-Howard newspapers in
Ohio, so there is the possibility Of
the state going to the third party.
In Oklahoma, Coolidge is as likely
to lose as he is to win. Oklahoma is
a southern border state and usually
goes democratic. So if Coolidge wins
Ohio and loses Oklahoma, and maybe
Utah credited to him in this poll, he
would be shy votes in the electoral
college for election.
This presidential poll shows, as do
other leading straw votes now being
taken, such as the Literary Digest,
and Hearst Newspapers polls, that
there is a strong possibility of the
election being thrown into congress
for final naming of our next presi-
dent. Every day now political lead
ers and writers are openly announc-
ing their conviction that the election
will go to congress for settlement.
The votes in this presidential poll
express the sentiment of voters in the
smaller cities, towns and rural dis
tricts. More than seven Thousand
newspapers published in towns thru
out the country have co-operated
with this newspaper in taking this
poll. 1t has been conducted in an
impartial manner.
This poll is particularly interesting
inasmuch as it is the only vote taken
which indicates the small town and
community sentiment; all others be-
ing the sentiment of the big city and
large town.

column and the total votes as given

cussion-non of which, of course, car
be proved until the final official votes
On November 4 have been counted.
Davis gains or La Toilette in the
popular vote during the last two
weeks of this vote. can be accounted
for in the number of Southern states
which sent in returns. The "Solid
South" is voting true to form and
there seems to be no spot where the
Third Party ticket cut in to take de
mocratic votes. Missouri has come
to be classed as a BORDER state
Here La Toilette seems to be max.
ing quite a showing.
OF the three states which did not
vote, Maine-as indicated in the re-
cent primaries-will go to Coolidge.
The Democrats think they will carry
Delaware. How Arizona will go, no
n seems to know.
