Nation Calls Gov.
Roosevelt to Pilot
Its Ship of State
Vote of Every Section of Nation Shows
Trend to Desire of People tor
Change of Policies.
The Roosevelt sweep, carrying
him to the White house as the third
democrat to sit there since the civil
war, carried to victory many a minor
candidate for state and congression
al office and rocked some of the
principal republican strongholds In
the country.
Senator James E. Watson of In
diana was one of those who, like
President Hoover, conceded defeat by
his democratic opponent long before
all the votes had been counted.
For the first time since Woodrow
Wilson laid aside the duties of the
highest office 12 years ago, a demo
crat will become the lands chief
magistrate.
He will assume office at a time
of economic stress which furnished
the principal talking points of an
unusually intensive and bitter cam
paign.
To bulwark him in his efforts to
lead the nation to better times a
strongly democratic house and sen
ate were clearly indicated as the elec
tion returns poured in.
The Roosevelt-Garner ticket was
acclaimed on a platform advocating
repeal of the Eighteenth amendment
and immediate modification of the
Volstead law to legalize the manu
facture of beer and wine. How com
pletely or how soon this program
might be put into effect, if at all,
hung, however, on the congressional
and senatorial elections.
Repealists Winning.
The returns showed a large num
ber of candidates whom wet or dry
organizations had classified as for
repeal or revision had been elected to
tho new house, which meets 13
months hence. Five of seven sen
ators who had been definitely elect
ed are recorded for repeal.
From the outset of the vote tabu
lating, all indicators pointed toward
Roosevelt's election. And when New
York with her vital block of 47 elec
toral votes was listed in the demo
cratic column, republican hopes were
shaken.
The south, successfully invaded by
Hoover in 1928, was once more solid
ly democratic. :In addition Roosevelt
was amassing .commanding leads in
many key states and leading by nar
rower margins in others.
When the president conceded that
the day was lost, Governor Roose
velt was leading in all but six states,
with an electoral count of 472. The
Hoover states at the time were Penn
sylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Maine and Delaware.
Kentucky Counts Today.
Kentucky does not begin counting
until tomorrow, but its vote has
been conceded to the democrats. It
has 11 electoral votes.
Texas was giving the democratic
candidate a lead of more than six
to one; in Virginia he was ahead by
more than two to one; his advan
tage in Florida was three to one and
in North Carolina four to one.
In addition, the border states of
Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky,
which went to Hoover four years
ago, were piling up big pluralities
for Roosevelt.
Returns from Michigan developed
a see-saw battle wtih first Hoover,
then Roosevelt aheau. In Rhode Is
land the situation was the same.
t the same time indications were
accumulating that the . democrats
would gain control of theenate, and
increase their majority in the house.
Incomplete returns showed democrats
ahead in 11 of the 32 senate con
tests and republicans elading in five.
Veteran Senator Beaten.
Veteran republican senatorial
leaders were trailing or beaten. Sen
ator James E. Watson of Indiana,
floor leader of the party since Charles
Curtis became, vice-president, con
ceded tho election of his opponent,
Frederick Van Nuys, democrat.
Reed Smoot of Utah, whose name
the much discussed current tariff
law bears, was trailing Dr. ETbert D.
Thomas, democrat. In addition, dm
ocratic candidates were leading Sen
ator Bingham in Connecticut and
Senator Glenn in Illinois.
William G. McAdoo, democrat, was
leading two opponents, Tallant
Tubbs, republican and Rev. Robert
Schuler, prohibitionist, for the sen
ate seat from California.
To take over the organization of
the senate, the democrats needed to
elect 18 candidates in Tuesday's elec
tion. PLEASE ACCEPT OUR THANKS
To those friend3 who so loyally co
operated with U3 in the recent cam
paign we extend our sincere thanks.

of County Agent Wainscott
Sulphuring Apples
Have you ever tried keeping apples
by use of sulphur fumes? Follow
ing is a recipe which Mrs. True
Homemaker recommends:
Peel and quarter from one half to
one peck of apples. Place apples in
a market basket or cheese cloth bag.
Suspend the basket or bag of apples
in the open head of a barrel which
is covered with a heavy cloth or
blanket. The beg or baskets are
easily suspended from a brcom stick
which is placed over the top of the
Jbarrel. Place a hot stove lid at the
bottom of the barrell. Drop on the
hot lid 2 level tablespoonsful of
sulphur. Keep the barrel tightly
covered and expose the apples to the
sulphur fumes for about 20 minutes.
Remove the apples, place in a stone
jar, tie a clean cloth over the top and
store in cool place. The apples will
keep crisp, plump and moist for
months. The color cf the apples will
remain just as was when exposed to
the sulphur fumes.
County Free of Hessian Fly
H. II. Walkden, Assistant U. S
Entomologist from Wichita, Kansas
was in the county Saturday looking
for Hessian Fly damage in wheat
fields. His report wrs that the coun
ty is almost 100 per cent free and
he complimented the agent and the
Farm Bureau highly on their suc
cessful control campaign. The se
cret of the whole thing is getting the
farmers to understand and cooperate
on the safe seeding date which they
have certainly done in Cass county.
The seeding plots on Herman
Luetchens farm near Murdock shows
a great infestation on the early sown
plots while these seeded after Sep
tember 26th were fly free. A notice
was sent to every farmer in the
county on September 26th telling of
the fly-safe feeding date.
Roasting a Turkey
With Thanksgiving only two short
weeks away many homemakers are
already planning theri dinner menu.
Of course, the traditional turkey din
ner means much to American people
and will no doubt continue to be
the main dish for the Thanksgiving
dinner. Extensino Circular 999,
Roasting A Turkey, not only gives
detailed information on roasting
but also contains many suggestions
and recines for the entire dinner. If
interested write or call the Farm
Bureau office for a copy of thi3 cir
cular.

of success, according to the author
ities at the agricultural college.
Many people are interested In plant
ing bulbs for indoor beautification
since they are on the market at this
time. The bulbs mentioned may be
grown either In water or in dirt.
To grow the bulbs In water the bowl
or vase should be partly filled with
gravel, pebbles, coal, together with
a small amount of crushed oyster
shell. Then the bulbs are placed
firmly among the stones, etc., partly
covered with water and removed to
a cool, dark part of the cellar while
Lthe roots are forming. They should
be left there about sir to eight weeks
and the water changed every week.
At the end of this period they are
brought into the light and into a
heated room to flower. The pot is
filled with garden soil in which a
4-frM-!-!-I:-I"I"M-M'
cupful of sand has been mixed with
a little well rotted manure. Tho
bulbs are set just beneath the sur
face of the soil, watered and remov
ed to a cool dark moist place such
as a cave or out of doors under a
covering of dirt, shraw or ashes.
Here they are left for six to eight
weeks and then gradually introduc
ed to the heat.
