NEARBY NOTES
Important Events

State Area.

A strange sight these days on the
farm of Arthur Moellering near Nc
Gregor is Plymouth Rock hen moth
ering a litter of five Airedale puppies.
The mother of the puppies is half
sister of "Laddie Boy" the famous
Airedale of President Harding. No
sooner had she given birth to her
puppies, than the hen forsook her
poultry companions and lowered con-
stantly around the mother dog and
her little ones. The mother dog did
not resent the intrusion, but in some
mysterious way the hen and she
seemed to come to an understanding
and entered into joint mother part
nership. For a month now they have
been sharing turn-about in the care
of the puppies. At night the hen goes
into the kennel with the puppies, the
mother dog remaining outside. She
suuats in among them, spreads her
wings and cuddles them just as she
would a brood of chickens. Day times
the puppies are with her as much as
with the. mother dog. She clucks con-
stantly to them and gets very fussy
and excited when they cry because
they are hungry or get hurt, or when
strangers come near. The puppies are
now nearly five weeks old and are
getting so big and obstreperous the
hen has a hard time keeping them
from treating her rough, yet no
amount of mauling, so far, has caused
her to desert her adopted brood.
Orvis Johnson, 20, town of. Excel
sior farmer, is in st. Mary's Ringing
hospital at Baraboo suffering from
serious injuries received when he was
dragged about his farm by a run
away team. His collar bone and one
arm were broken, one ear was prac-
tically torn off and his body was Sc
verely cut and lacerated. Accounts OF
the accident have differed, but it ap-
pears that the horses became fright
ened when Mr.. Johnson was returning
home. He was thrown out of the wa
gon, falling between the animals. 1t
was only by a miracle that the man
escaped death.
A young man, who refused to give

which he said he had stolen from his
uncle, and said that after he had TAX
en- the jewels his conscience bothered
him so much he just simply had to
make a clean breast of it. He stated
his parents lived about 100 miles

How many citizens understand the
procedure of election by the House"
should any presidential candidate fail
to secure majority of electoral votes
this fall? Here are figures in eluc1-
dation as presented by the wall
Street Journal.
The vote for president is not direct
but through electors in each state,
equivalent in numbers to congress-
men and Senator's total OF 531-
226 being necessary to elect.
These votes are canvassed by con-
oress the second Wednesday in FEB
ruarv. No majority no election. The
election then goes to the House OF
Representatives while the Senate
names the vice-president.
Now. if this year there are zoo
Coolidge electors successful IN NO
yember. 260 Davis electors ana La
Toilette electors, no one Will nave the
266 votes necessary for a majority
and there will be no choice by the
Electoral college, It will then be the
d1Itv of the house of representatives
tn choose a president and OF the
senate to choose a vice president.
The house must choose president
from the three presidential candidates
having the most votes in the Electoral
college. The senate must choose
a vice president from the two hlghest
vice presidential candidates. In each
case there must be a majority vote.
Rut each state, in voting for pres1-
dent in the house, has only one vote,
determined by the unit rule. New
York. with % Republican congress-
men and q Democratic congressman
might have been expected to cast one
vote for Coolidge But La Guarda1'

WHAT ELECTION DEADLOCK
WOULD MEAN TO COUNTRY

/ for him in the New York caucus if
the election went to the house. Then
New York would cast no vote for
president, as it would be deadlocked
with 81 votes for Coolidge, q for
Davis and one for La Toilette, result
ing in no majority under the unit
rule.
Wisconsin has 10 republican con-
gressmen and one socialist. But a
majority of the Wisconsin Republi-
cans are supporting La Toilette, so
Wisconsin would cast one vote for
La Toilette; Pennsylvania, safely Re-
publican, would cast one vote for
Davis. The result in the House by
States might be, with no vote by New
York:
COOI1QS6 ------------.-------.-.-1A
Davis -----.----------------------------zl
La Toilette --..-...-.....-.------
A majority vote of 25, so here
would be another deadlock, and no
choice for president.
In that event the vice president
succeeds to the presidency and
meanwhile the senate is supposed to
elect a vice president. Each senator
has one vote. There are Sc senators,
of whom 81 are supposed to be Re-
publicans; 43 are Democrats and two
are classed as Farmer-Labor. Several
of the supposed Republicans are La
Toilette followers. Only two candi-
dates are eligible. The vote might
