Coolest November Since
1916, Says Weather Man

"The month just passed" says Co.
operative Observer Gabriel Jadden,
'is the coolest November we have had
since 1915, according to the govern
ment weather report at Wahluke. The
thermometer went down to nine de-
grees above zero on the 9th and 18th,
although during the first of the month
it was comparatively warm, 67 de-
grees on the 9th being the maximum.
Total precipitation was 70 inches and
the greater part of the month was
cloudy, there being only six clear days
to November's credit, out Of her thirty"

District Election
Next Tuesday

While no opposition has 10 far de-
veloped against the reelection Of the
old board, the irrigation district cleo
ton next Tuesday is attracting more
than ordinary interest and 1t Is quite
likely that substantial percentage Of
the vote in the district will be cast.
Three directors are to be elected and
all three members Of the present
board have consented to become candi-
dates to succeed themselves w. s.
Weber will be the candidate for the
three year term, w. j. Kincaid for
the two year term and q. T. Slavens
for the one year term.
1t is generally felt by the land own
ers in the district that the reelection
of the old board will be advisable as
the members are not only more fam
iliar than anyone else with all the
steps so far taken by the district in
it's efforts to save the project for the
land owners, but their reelection will
be construed as an endorsement Of
their actions by the courts, the Mil
waukee railroad that is to do the fin
ancing, and by any one else having
business dealings with the district.
Under the new law the polls will
open at p. m. and close at p. m.
Voting will be by ballot. No names
will be printed on the official ballots
and these must be written in by the
voter. Care must be taken in writing
In the names to see that the proper
candidates name is written on the
proper line as, for instance, vote for
the three-year candidate on the one
year line on the ballot will not count
for the three-year term.

ADEQUATE DEFENSE
Pershing' and Legion Chief
Score Cuts in Navy
and Army.

The coming Congress will be the
battle-ground Of opposing forces in at
tempts to slash ornaments, Henry L.
Stevens, jr,, national commander of the
American Legion, predicted last night
in a special Armistice day program
broadcast by WRC and a network OF
other National Broadcasting Co. sta
tons
Stevens declared plans are under way
to reduce the navy in 1888 to 1.-The
lowest ebb OF combat efficiency since
pre-war days"
Pershing Hits Laxity.
Speaking over the same network, Gen
John j. Pershing indicted Congress for
previous laxity in maintaining the ma
tional defense. He said the United
States should not again be guilty OF
that lack of military foresight which
has always been the weakness of our
national lawmakers. and which has
made it well-nigh impossible to train,
equip and transport our armies to the
battle front in time to save the allies"
Stevens said the present naval re-
duction program will contribute to I'M
employment. as 80 per cent Of con-
struction represents labor.
Curtailment of naval ship building,
he asserted, is in opposition to recon-
mendations Of the Legion's National
Defense Committee, adopted unani-
mously at the Detroit convention.
The coming session of Congress wiz
see the principles of universal service
in time of war presented for final ac-
ceptance in the fundamental plans for
the future defense of this Republic and
for insurance in maintaining peace"
Stevens said. Equal service for all
and special privilege or profit for none
in war has been the plea of the vet
Grams of the World War since the
earliest days of the American Legion"
Urges Larger Army.
Insisting the Army as well as the
Navy is below the minimum consistent
with national security, stevens said the
Legion earnestly recommends pro-
gram of expansion of the air forces
of the United States until they are on
par with other nations before our
Government participates in any further
disarmament conferences"
Gen. Pershing said there exists no
such thing as "militaristic spirit in
America" but added adequate prepa-
ration against war does not mean ag-
gression."
He pleaded for general understand
ing among nations and for adequate
congressional action to maintain Amer
lca'S armed forces at standard SUI
ficient to insure the Nation against the
danger of war.
