Show FOUR " ' ' THE PRESS BULLETIN - UTAH COUNTY GOES DEMOCRATIC Congressman James II. Mays Re-elect- ed By A Majority Of 6,000 Over Former Governor William Spry, The Republican Can-didate --The County Democratic Ticket Was Elected From Top To Bottom And The Three Amendments Carry In Utah County Mays Gets A Larger Majority In Proportion To The Vote Than In 1916 Small Vote Amounting To About 8,000 As Compared With 13,500 In 1916. In a brief campaign with no rallies and very little personal work by party leaders, the election Tuesday closed one of the bitterest fought campaigns in the history of this county. The opposition fought to the bitter end but several days before elec-tion it was evident that their corpulent leader had the wind knocked out of him and there was no fight left. The evidence against William Spry for defeating state wide prohibition had been accumulating for years and it was vent with all its fury Tuesday at the polls by the sincere voters in this beautiful val-ley, It was an unusual election. The vote was small. It was the first year that the new. corrupt practice act was placed into service. The epidemic and the lack of rallies caused a very small vote to be cast. The total was about 8000 as compared with 13,500 the last election which was held two years ago. Congress-man James II. Mays was given a majority of about 2000 in this county, or one-thi-rd of his total majority in the state of 6000. The majority for the county ticket was about 1300. The .campaign was exceptionally clean on the part of the Democratic party, and only spasms of mud-slingi- ng were resort-ed to by the other party. Practically all of the campaigning was conducted through the newspapers and by the use of hand bills and dodgers. About the only precincts which went Repub-lican in Utah County were Highland, Salem, (Majority of two) and Alpine. The greatest majority for the Democratic party came from Thistle-whic- h gave Mays 77 votes, and Spry 7. The vote for the prohibition amendment was 4081 yes, and 1141 nos. On the mines amendment 369$ yes, and 1349 nos. The Republican party spent much money in advertising throughout the county, but all to no avail. The people went to the polls quietly and registered their choice for county and state officials. No one was hauled to the polls, and very little, if any electioneering was done around the voting places. There were about 700 scratched tickets voted in the county. This is perhaps the largest percentage of scratches ever recorded in ra- tio to the total vote cast. The final vote in the county re-veals that County Clerk L. T. Epper-son was high man on the "ticket. His majority In the county was 1540, with J. William Knight, candidate for State Senator, In second place with a ma-jority of 1454. John W. Guy ran high in Provo City, with a majority of 330. The lowest candidate on the ticket won with a majority of 1474. Charles Westrope candidate for sheriff, ran ahead of his ticket on the Republican side. I. H. .Masters finished with a majority of 1274 for the House of Representatives, although the editor of Tht Post had prophesied and work-ed for his defeat.

To this end arrange-ments have been made with the War Department whereby Christmas par-cels may be mailed to members of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe under the following condi-tions: 1. Each soldier or other member of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe will be allqjved to receive one Christmas parcel lor which purpose he will be furnished, through army channels, a "Christmas Parcel Label" bearing the correct name and address of Ihe soldier or member and also the name of the person designated to mail the parcel. The labels will be prepar-ed to serve as address labels for the parcels. The label furnished each sol-- 1 dier or other member of the Ameri-can Expeditionary Forces will be sent by him to the person who is to mail the Christmas parcel. No Christmas parcel for members of the Expedition-ary Forces in Europe will be accept-ed for transmission without such label. ' 2. All Christmas parcels must be of Btandard size, 3 inches by 4 inches by 9 inches, and shall not exceed three pounds in weight, for which purpose cartons of the size prescribed will be distributed through the local Red Cross Chapters throughout the coun-try. No person will be furnished a carton except upon presentation of a Christmas Parcel Label received from abroad. 3. The parcels must contain no pro-hibited or unmailable articles. Perish-able food products are not permitted. 4. After the cartons have been fill-ed by the persons who receive them, they shall be returned to a Red Cross receiving station where inspectors ap-pointed by the Red Cross will care-fully examine each parcel and super-vise Its wrapping and the affixing of the Christmas Parcel Label and the necessary postage stamps, the latter to be furnished by the sender of the parcel. When the parcels have thus been packed and wrapped and other-wise prepared for transmission, the Red Cross will affix to each parcel a certificate in the form of a seal show-ing that the parcel has been Inspected and contains no prohibited or unmail-able matter. Such certificates will be aCCGDted br thn PoHtftl Stnlra and Army authorities as evidence that the parcels conform to the conditions pre-scribed and obviate the necessity. of subsequent examination. The parcels must be left at the Red Cross receiv-ing stations which will deposit them in the mails for dispatch. 5. Christmas parcels must bear the name and address of the sender and will be addressed substantially as follows : "Christmas Box Department, Port of Embarkation, Hobokeri, N. J. For Organization :.: American Exped:tionary Forces." Farcels so addressed will be charge-able with postage at the fourth class or parcel post zone rate applicable between the office where mailed and Hoboken, New Jersey, to be prepaid by stamps affixed. . 6. Parcels may bear. Inscriptions such as "Please do not open until Christmas," "Merry Christmas," "A Happy New Year," "With Best Wish-es," and the like. 7. In order to assure the arrival of Chrstmas parcels abroad and the de-livery to the addresses by Christmas all such parcels must be mailed on or before November 20, 1918. The foregoing does not In any way change the instruction hereto-- , fore Issued regarding the acceptance of parcels up to seven pounds In weight for members of the American Expeditionary Forces In Europe which contain articles sent in re-sponse to the written request of a member approved by his regimental commander or other officer authoris-ed to approve such requests. CRIPPLED SOLDIERS LEARNING TRADES The Red Cross Institute for Crip-- , pled and Disabled Men, Sill Fourth Avenue, New York City, Is teaching the following trades to disabled Am-erican soldiers: The manufacture of artificial limbs, welding, mechanical drafting, printing, motion picture operating and the production of Jewelry. One young man, minus a leg, .has been placed by the Institute in a fac-tory making gyroscopes, which are used as stabilizers for aeroplanes. This requires quick and deft manipu-lations of certain adjustments. Hia sense of touch is so highly developed fW that he earns seventy-fiv- e dollars a ' week at piece work. In machine work, men with double leg amputations will find opportuni-ties at automatic box making, cover-ing, cutting, stripping, labeling, print-ing and staying machines For tha one armed man there are fewer opportunities, but automatic machines such as those for box mak-- xf ing, labeling and scoring, can b&-4- p j erated by a man with one hand If toe--; material is carried byv another work--, man.

FARM BUREAUS FIGHT GRAIN DESTROYERS five per eent of Idaho's grain crops has been saved to feed our ar-my and our allies through a campaign against squirrels carried on by the farm bureaus and the Biological Sur-vey of the United States Department of Agriculture in 0 coutnles in the southeastern part of the state. At an original outlay of $1.70. one mem-ber of the farm bureau In Bingham County brought to the farm bureau offlcy 2,487 squirrel tails. He received $49.74 as a bounty for this piece of war work. In (Dear Lake County 138,-50- 0 squirrel tails were presented for bounty claims this spring, following tho farm bureau carpalgn. In Bonne-ville County a farmer' covered his field with the poison, walked back over it In less than an hour from the time he started, and counted . 278 squirrels, rabbits, 10 rock chucks, and a good many field mice . which had already been killed. Control work carried on on one or two farms Is of little avail, . because the squirrels from neighboring farms soon fill op the depleted ranks of their comrades It Is only when the undertaking is county wide and state wide that it is successful Such cam-paigns have been made possible by the farmers' seeored by the farm bureaus. - MANY ADVANTAGES FOR CRD7PLED SOLDIERS Paper box manufacturers are co-op- - j eratlng with the American Red Cross i jv Institute for Crippled and Dinabled Vjjv Men at 3 til Fourth Avenue, New York City, in its efforts to secure positions for cripples. This Industry has advantages for the cripple for it is a large employer of unskilled labor: The machinery is simple and easy to operate, and none of the work is Impossible for a man with one artificial leg, while some of the seated work can be done by men who have lost both legs. Legless men will be especially val-uable in the hand work which includes all operations in the making of fanny candy and clgaret boxes, and in. the process of laying gold leaf on boxes and covers, In this work Intelligent care In the conservation, of expensive materials must be ; combined with deft flngerwork. , "1. SURVEY PARTIES ARE ; . NEEDED FOR THE ARMY Washington, O. C.,' Nov., he construction division' of. the army fs without doubt the most extensive or-ganization of its kind. In the history of the world. The approximate value of construction projects undertaken by this branch of the government since the United States entered the war Is one billion dollars. The figures representing the material uted and the men employed are staggering. 260,000 workmen have been under the control of the division at one time. Among the division's present urg-ent needs are 50 chiefs of survey par-ty at $2,700 to $3,000 a year; SO tran-sit men at $2,400 year; 25 level men at $2,100 a year; 125 rodmen at $1,-80- 0 a year; and 50 topographic drafts-men at $2,100 a year. These positions ae open to men only except the drafting positions, which are open to both men and wo-men. All of the positions are In the civil, not the military, service. Persons Interested should apply to the United States Civil Service Com-mission, Washington, D. C or to the secretary of the local board f civil service examiners at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cincin-nati, Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis, New Orleans, Seattle or San Francisco. Applicants will not be required to undergo a written examination, the examination being of the "nonassem-bled- " tvpe; that Is, the ratings will be based upon education, training ex-perience and physical ability as shown by the applications and cor-roborative evidence. These positions offer an excellent opportunity r pa-triotic service, and tha Civil Service Commission urges qualified persons to apply without delay. GOPHER CONTROL SAVES MONTANA GRAIN ' Thousand of bushels of grain have been saved as a result of the gopher extermination law put Into operation in Teton County, Montana, through the concerted action of the county agent, the farm bureau, and " Y" the Biological Scrvey of the Unite States Department of Agriculture. It is estimated that with 10 goph-ers per acre 160 bushels of grain will be consumed from a quarter section. The law provides that in the case of state owned lands net leased or pri-vate lands whose owntrs failed to put out bait an authorized county man may poison the gophers. Coop-eration has solved the problem la Teton County. , MINERS FAMILIES USE WHEAT SUBSTITUTES In 5t Louis County, (Minn., where 85 to 90 per eent of tho population are foreign born, or , have foreign born parents, the county home demon-stration agent of the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultural College has helped the women attack some of their big-gest problems. A three months cam-paign In wheat saving In six towns in this mining section resulted In reaching 3,000 families and saving R2 tons of wheat flour by the use of sub-stitutes, in spite of the fact that op-position was mot with at first from the lAustrians and Finns, who had considered the use of white bread a mark of Independence and prosperity. Figures collected during a recent child welfare campaign in the county proved that, owing to Improver diet, a large majority of the children were subnormal In holght and weight. Fif-teen hundred of these have promised the agent to drink a pint of milk a day, or to "howl till they get it." In August a two day canning school was held In each town in the Iron Range,! at which selected leaders received special training which enabled them to pass on the instruction to the wom-en In their communities. ..
