To vote intelligently on the candi-
dates for City Commissioner, Denton
eitizens should have some idea of
what they stand for. Since the office
they seek in wholly unremunerative
except as a public duty, the Record-
Chronicle will give them opportuni-
ty of getting their ideas before the
public, the newspaper footing the
cost a* a matter of service to the
community. This I, notice, therefore,
to the candidates t, send in their
statements for publication. It is pur
posed to1 publish all of them at one
time, possibly nxt Saturday, and
those candidate, accepting the invi-
tation should get their copy in not
later than-Thursday of next week.

The 3-ycar-old Jersey ecw of John
Enderwood & Son topped the ersey

bringing $300. The junior member of
the firm is Sam. small son of Mr. and
Mrs. John.
John Eston Cooke, i ditor-publish-

visiting his children. Miss Clara,
who is a junior at C. I. A, and Hill,
who is‛n sophomore at Teachers Col-

of the Texas Preea Association and
owney of one of the most successful
county weeklies in the State.
W. C. Orr Sr. nnd Walter Smoot
piloted a bunch of boys, including W.
C. Jr., to the Fat Stock Show and
took in the rodeo Friday. The other
boys were Homer Boone Smoot and
Myron Taliaferro.
"Some farmers have planted cotton
already." said W. B. Simpson Sat-
urday, “nnd I’m wondering what this
weather is coing to do to mid-winter
planted •tuff." It is believed, how-
ever, that the acreage already sow-
ed to cotton is very small. Simpson
. says cut worms have bern working on
his onions nnd have practically ruin
cd about a third of his planting at
his home place in the west end."
When s. H. Hoskins tried io start
his car Friday morning it wouldn’t
start because of the fact that the
battery was missing. “I hadnit used
the car for some time and am not
certain when the battery was stolen,
but I believe il, was taken Tuesday
night," Hoskins said.
A correspondent of one of the State
papers who sent in on item about
' he 76-pound buffalo being captured
• in the draining of Club Lake had n
letter from a frfend in another city
“Did you personally see the fish or
take some one's word for it?” he
writes. “I nt” a pretty good fisher-
’ man and have had occasion to see a
good many buffalo fish, but this is
the biggest one of that variety I
ever heard of." The fish was weighed
• in the presence of a dozen or more
witnesses,soon. after it was caught
The out-of-town fisherman is no dif-
ferent from local fishermen, because
n 76-pound buffalo is “some buffa-
jo.” As one local fisherman expressed
it, “I wouldn't have belleyed. It if I
hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
The fish looked as big as a hon."

PEKING, March 13.—China tolar
protested the Japanese legation
against yesterday’s invasion of the
Peiho River by two Japanese gun-
toats.
Japan countered with a proteat
tr the Foreign Office that the
Taku forts' attack on the gunboats
was unjustified and announced that
the matter would be taken up with
the powers signatory to the Boxer
protocol.
The Japanese gunboats were driv-

awoke shortly after 7 o'clock th
of Poland as the fifth day of the
angry, frantic negotiation* begun at
Geneva.
The embarrassing impasse which
threatens to wreck the reputations
of all the statesmen engaged in an
effort to overcome it, appeared to
be less hopeless, however, when it
was announced that the Longue of
Nation* Council would not be con-
voked today for a final vote on Ger-
many’s entry into the Council.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the Brit-
ish Foreign Minister, and the princi-
pal German delegates lunched to1
gether today to consider n revised
plan of agreement.
It is learned from German officials
that this agreement would permit
Germany’s immediate admission ..to
the Council upon her promise o
serve on a commission to consider
further enlargement of the upper
body. If a majority of the commis
sion favored enlargement, Germany
wold be bound by a previous prom-
ise to approve the majority report.

Kentucky Vots Dry
One of the surprises comes from
Kentucky, which is in the dry
column on the basis of ruturns from
Bowling Green and Ashland. Ken-
tucky’s reads: dry, COS; repeal, 109;
modification, 241.
Georgia and Florida, likewise, are
in the dry column oq very incom-
plete returns, Georgia standing 109
dry, 28 for repeal and 119 for mod-
ification, and Florida giving prohi-
bition 191 votes, repeal 13 and mod-
ification 9G. 1
The wet centers are, ns has been I
said, among the first to report. New
Jersey, for example, gives only 83
dry votes, as against 646 for repeal
and 949 for modification. Maryland
cast 582 dry votes mnd 14,104 fot
repeal, the modification proposal no'.
Icing included in ballots there.
Indiana is in the wet column to-
day, but it is a safe bet that ।
will be in the dry column tomer-
row, as the smaller cities are just
beginning to report, and editors
wire that the voting in those dry
centers is heavy. Right now, Indiana
has 250 dry votes, 102 for repeal
and 669 for modification.
Michigan also is wet by a very
small majority, with indications
that it may do a, flop before long.
Michigan’s vote today is: dry, 723;
repeal, 82; modification. 671.
Arizona, in the supposedly "dry
nthweet."-ts puttngup red het
fight with the wets holding a small
advantage. The Arizona drys polled
8029 votes, with 1141 voting tar re-
peal and 3616 voting for modifica
tinn. These returns rre from two
cities— Tucson and Phoenix. There
are several other Arizona newspu-
per* conducting polls, nnd they are
in localities that may logically te
expected to go dry.
Colorado Casts Big Voir
Colorado showed the keenest in-
terest of any state, thus far, cast
ing 20,756 dry votes, 79,700 for re-
peal and 83,356 for modification,
with 18,999 voting against modifica-
tion, Tho city of Sheriden, Wyo,
took to the vote cagenly, too, voting
a* follows: for prohibition. 130; for
repeal, 1851; for modification 1513.

Ready To Elect Germany
The assembly met tonight ready
unanimously to elect Germany to
League membership as soon as the
Cou mil was able to act with regard
to Germany's membership in the
upper body.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the Brit
ish foreign secretary and Briand
thought they had the problem solved
last night. Then followed Chamber-
Iain’s fateful meeting with Chancel-
lor Luther of Germany, during which
Germany refused to become a party
to that or any other settlement, al-
though Chamberlain assured Luther
that if she would agree to Poland's
election to non permanent member-
ship Snnin. would abandon a threat
to withdraw from the League and
Brazil would consent to approve Ger
many's election to tiie Council.
Germany considers the row in the
Council to be an internal League of
fair nnd as she is not yet a league
member, Germany refuses to become
a party to it or its settlement.
