The allegations upon which contest is filed in the recent
ijocal option election in Williamson county read like truth that
I ie stranger than fiction. The contestants ask the court to doter-
I mine the number of illegal votes cast against prohibition, sub-
tract that number from the total number and declare the re-
sult of the election to be In favor of prohibition or else declare
| th« election void and order another election. Among the alle-
gations which seek to throw out votes against prohibition are
|, claims that eighty poll tax receipts were held by others than
their owners; that one person voted twice against prohibition;
that three hundred persons voted without possession of legal
poll tax receipt; that thirty persons voted against prohibition
m precincts in which they did not, reside; that seventy-seven
persons voted on illegal and void exemption certificates for
minors; that seven persons who were minors cast votes against
[prohibition; that two persons who were idiots voted against
! prohibition and that twenty-one alien enemies, citizens of the
|German empire, voted against prohibition.'
John McGraw practices principles that should be heeded by
every person who intends keeping up with the times. He does
I not wait for his machine to run down before getting new parts
for it; lie puts in new parts every time they are needed. Con-
| eequently, he always has a brand new fighting machine.
Every country, including Germany, must have internal dis-

Ordinarily the American people save five billion dollars,

Much as wo regret, the educational
loss to Texas by the repeal of several
resolutions creating several new

It does not take much argument
to make the public believe that, now
Is not n good time to launch upon
ventures of establishing new state
schools, .Inasmuch as all institutions
of higher learning will need some
years in which to recover from the

for other ventures in this field when
there is actual need for other schools.

The Point of View.
"It is an outrage to charge 4"> cents
a dozen for eggs at this time of year."
| said the man in the shabby black suit,
who was reading a newspaper in the
passenger coach., "And it savs here
that eggs will be as high as 70 cents
a dozen this winter,"
"I don't think it is an outrage," re-
plied the man in the noisy clothes.
"In fact, it is a Godsend."
"How do you make that out?" de-
manded the man 111 the shabby suit.
"I am the manager of an Uncle Torn
show," replied the man in the noisy
clothes.

Cutting off the hands of babies,
placing French and Iiriti-h prisoners
in dugouts and then smoking them to
death, murder of boys before their
mothers' eyes, crucifixion of Cana-

thousands of young girls were a few
of the German atrocities relate! by
Captain E. H. Saer, Candian artil-
lery officer, who spent more than a
year on tho western front. He ap-
peared in a lecture last night at the
City Hall auditorium, under tho au-
spices of the University Club.
"T saw the body of baby nailed to
a door with a large spike through
its neck—the work of German sol-
diers," he said. "There were worse
atrocities than I can tell. I have
■ een them with my own eyes. 1 ask
you to believe all atrocities which you
have henrd, for they are all true—
all too true.

(Awoclntcd Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Oct. 12.—arKly regu-

promised tonight by Food Administra-
tor Hoover.
Plans to control bread production
and distribution already are under
consideration and will be put Into op-
eration as soon as bread baking ex-
periments now being conducted in sev-
eral cities are completed. Municipal
bread depots will be provided, if it,
is found that retailers cannot be con-

ment.

any steps to deal with the industry
the food administration wishes first
to standardize baking flour; second, to
standardize bread ingredients, and
third, to standardize either the size of
the loaf or the price.
The bread content will be estab-
lished on the basis of facts disclosed
In the experiments under way. It Is
hopf-d to establish a standard bread
containing the same amount always
of lard, milk and other ingredients.
