INDIANA TOWN !:
RESIDENTS To i
Vote TUESDAY
Women Ballot for First Time
at Ingalls,; Berne Faces
Dispute.

Elections will be held throughout
Indiana Tuesday by Incorporated
towns for naming town board mem
bers, clerks and treasurers. In some
instances the voters will not go to
the polls, as no tickets are in the
field and present officials will re-
main in office until the date of the
next election.
Democrats at Berne have placed q
ticket in the running against the
Republicans, but a doubt exists as
to whether or not any Democrat
could hold office if elected, due to
failure of the party to comply with
the law requiring that fifteen DAYS
before an election a petition be filed
with the town clerk for a place on
the ballot.
Contest at LewisvilIe
There is only one ticket at Lewis
vile, but candidates are without OPP
position, there being a contest for
every office. Both Democrats and
Republicans are on a Citizens ticket.
No election will be held at
Knightstown. Only the Republicans
nominated candidates for town of
fees last spring and these men will
assume office without further con-
test at the first council meeting next
January.
For the first time in the history,
women are candidates at ingalls,. A
campaign by supporters of Re-
publican and Citizens tickets has
aroused interest to such an extent
that it is believed practically every
voter will go to the polls.
Two Towns Voting
There is no contest at Lefontaine,
which has a bipartisan Citizens
ticket. North Manchester will vote
on Republican and Democratic can
didates. Both parties also have
tickets at Lagro.
Danville is the only place in Hen
bricks County where there are two
tickets. Other towns have nom
partisan tickets.
Litigation is in prospect after
voters at Shoals cast their ballots.
Supporters of a Citizens ticket as
sert two town board members are
to be named this year and have
nominated two, but hackers Of a Re-
publican ticket say only one is to
be chosen. Regardless of the out
come of the election. it appears
certain the dispute will be carried
into court.

CLINIC FINDS QUICK
WAY TO END COLDS
Advise Hospital Tested Method;
Is Ideal for Home Use And
Brings Relief in Few Hours

A great many indianapolis peo-
ple-like James H. Springer, have
learned that it is no longer neces-
sary to let cold make a person
feel miserable or cause fear of
pneumonia. For doctors at the hos
pital clinic are recommending a
simple home treatment that brings
quick, sure relief-often in a few
hours.
A severe cold had kept Mr..
Springer from business several days.
When nothing seemed to help him
he called the clinic for advice. Doc
tors then recommended double
strength doses of Cherry Pectoral-
a highly concentrated mixture of in
gradients which hospitals have
found to be the quickest, safest and
most dependable to end colds. With
the first swallow he felt the sooth-
ing, comforting, healing warmth
from his nose passages deep down
into his chest. In a few hours he
felt lots better and in a day or SC
the cold was completely gone.

tons of the United States has be-
come waste Of broken houses, up
rooted trees and washed out roads
and railways. Hundreds Of head OF
cattle have been drowned. In many
places drowned cattle lie in heaps
where the waters left them in re
ceding.
In nearby Barre, seven persons,
including Lieutenant Governor Hol-
lister Jackson, were drowned. At
Waterbury the Red Cross reported
that nineteen persons had lost their
lives and that three were missing.
~ Dead in One Town
Continuing UP the Winooski River
valley, at Bolton twenty-five persons
are known to have persisted and be-
tween ten and thirteen are missing.
At Jonesville four persons were
drowned.
At North BuXbury, near Water
bury, twenty-five persons died. Four
bodies we're taken from the river at
Richmond.
Though handicapped by lack of
supplies, local relief forces are strug-
Cling to alleviate the suffering of
the homeless.
Flurries of snow, carried down on
a cold north wind, brought suffer-
ing to the hundreds Of refugees in
damager, heatless houses, or to those
camped in tents along the rim OF
the valley.
The swollen Winooski had receded
over night and little resembled the
the roaring torrent that earlier had
swept through the valley. Every
railroad bridge between Montpelier
and White River Junction was
carried away by flood waters.
Roads Only Shiny Paths
Water still is several feet deep in
the valleys where previously it had
been thirty to fifty feet deep at the
height of the flood. On the ground
left bare by the subsiding waters
was a foot of debris, silt and mud.
What once had been highways
were slime-covered river beds in
many places. Every power plant
and factory along the Winooski was
a flooded and battered ruin.
At Moretown, at the junction of
the Mad and Winooski, it is esti-
mated that half the homes were
washed away. Many of the houses
had been clipped off their founda-
tons, as if with a giant razor.
More than 100000 feet of 1urn-
Der, valued at 100000, was washed
from lumberyard in Moretown,
and lies scattered about the coun-
tryside for a radius of twenty-five
miles.
Business sections of both Barre
and Montpelier have been wrecked.
Food Supplies Ruined
Food and supplies have been
ruined by the water which flooded
Easements and crept pto the sec
ond floors of buildings in centers of
both cities.
Troopers patrol the streets here.
Food is being rationed out at ap-
pointed canteens. Because of the
favorable position, on higher ground,
the capitol building escaped.
The business sections of both
Barre and Montpelier were wrecked.
Hardly an unbroken piece of plate
glass remained along the main
street of either city.
Montpelier is virtually under mar
tial law. Troops patrol the streets
and food is only given out at ap-
pointed canteens to those possess
ing proper ration cards.

TEXAS PLAYERS
WIN CAME FOR
COAST ELEVEN

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 27-Two
"young gentlemen from Texas to-
day were basking IN the glory of
n football game and were still up
Iermost in the. thoughts of more
than $4,000 persons who yesterday
afternoon witnessed the West de-
feat the East by score of 16 to 6.
For the third successive time the
west underdogs spilled the dope and
emerged head and shoulders above
their all star eastern brothers in
the annual Christmas charity grid
IRON classic of the Pacific coast.
But it was the two young gen
tlemen from Texas, Joel Hunt and
Gerald Mann, who supplied the ex-
at degree of punch necessary for
:he westerners to clinch the game.
Directly after the opening kick.
off and before the spectators had
settled themselves in their seats,
Hunt scampered II yards for a
touchdown. Prosnell, East half,
paved the way by fumbling. He
.iugglcd a pass from center which
Skies, West end, recovered and two
plays later Hunter reversed the en-
tire field.
In the second quarter Amos, East
quarter, was forced back over his
goal when he received low pass
from center and a safety was scor-
90.
A few seconds later little Butch
Meeker of Washington State, 145
pound West half, clcated his way
through the East line for % yards
and tnen Mann, Texas Aggie, drove
Gcross the line. Wilson made good
lls second kick of the day.
At the opening of the second
half, the East squad, led by Bruce
Caldwell, former Yale ace, swept
down the field. Caldwell scored a
touchdown after receiving a pass.
He was Knocked down but succeed,
ed in rolling across the line. His

Some coaches want the goal posts

ers like 'em where the new rules
tossed 'em--10 yards from either
end of the playing field.
1t will be push and pull for opin-
ion among the leading coaches seem
to be fairly well divided.
Gil Dobie, Cornell mentor, for in
stance, when not engaged in weep
ing crocodile tears, is one coach
who believes that the game has be-
come too complicated as result of
the new rules.
Howard Jones, who is detained
on the Pacific coast by post season
football, is one of the outstanding
champions of the present position
of the goal posts.
"For one thing, it gives kicker
somewhat better angle Tad
Jones, retiring head coach at Yale,
volunteered in agreeing with his
brother.
The coaches who want the goal
posts brought back to the goal line
have number of arguments ready
for airing when the meetings start.
One of the principal complaints
about the new location comes from
spectators, who, at distance, can
not get the thrill now of knowing
lust when the ball is driven over
for touchdown. without the goal
posts to judge by, they have to
await the elamor of those nearer to
the play.
Knute Rockne, coach at Notre
Dame is usually the most entertain
ing speaker at these annual gather
ings. Rockne is listened to closely
by his fellows, for he usually dis
closes a wealth of football informa-
tion. He too, is in favor of fewer
and simpler rules.

ELEVEN FROM
SOUTH BEATS
COAST STARS
Wet Field Handicaps
Players On Bot h
Teams.
by United Press Leased Wire

By tnited PresS Leased wire
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.-The
giants from the south slid over rain
soaked turf to defeat a sturdy
western eleven in their Christmas
game here yesterday, s to 0.
While the south appeared the
stronger extensively, the condition
of the field made it impossible to
show to good advantage. Both the
winner scores came on breaks.
Minus the services of their key
back, Louie Tesreau, of Washington,
the westerners were driven back to
the shadow of their own goal posts
in the first quarter.
Then came the south s first chance
to score. Barnhill recovered a block
ed punt on the western 11-yard line.
But the west withstood a line as
sault and a pass to regain posses
sion.
On the first play Laraneta fun
bled and Creson recovered for Dix
lie. Dodson duplicated for the south,
but recovered. Estes squeezed
through for a yard and then big
Bill Middlekauff went in for the
south and smashed through for a
touchdown.
Spears Stars
The other score, a safety, came
in the fourth quarter. Again the
west helped pave the way across its
own goal line. A punt was blocked
and Laraneta, of the westerners,
fell on the ball for a safety.
The field handicapped bouncing
Bill Spears, of Vanderbilt, but the
Dixie flash got off to some runs
which had the 10000 fans on edge.
He lived up to his reputation. Kit
ty Creson gave an exhibition which
classed him as one of the best ends
ever to be seen in the Coliseum.
While Spears was fast, the west
had its own flash in Laraneta. At
times it was a battle between the
two, Laraneta dashing through to
throw Bill for loss.
Big Louie Tesreau, from Washing.
ton, lasted only three plays. About
him had been built the western adj
vance and when his knee buckled
the west was handicapped.
The south apparently had the bet
ter backfield. But on the line 1t
was toss up. The westerners were
even stronger than expected in this
department, as their stands within
their own lO.vard line showed.
