Question of Spoiled Ballots.
The eard-.'iatw arc with the
t'a!rni-ss nf the count of the ballots, bu:
there is i-oirte dissatisfaction over the
inclusion of certain ballots, which were
sai,| to hivv "certain Identifying
marks." hich should have made th^m
invalid. Two erased ballots and a
•allot depisited in a bos other t^an

It was charged by one of the. rondi
lat.-- that five nr six ballots from the
Fifth wuru. •sn.'Winc: trie initials ot an
•••lection jv.dse on the face of the ballot,
were counted when they should have
ieen thrown out. It was said other
ballets were rot counted because the
cross before the name of the candidate
wis not completed, altho the intent of
the voter was clearly shown. It will
be
,M -'TSS
T^he election was the most unique in
the history of the city. The I,amb
I'erby contest of a few years ago was
the result of a tie vote but in that case
two cand.dates only were involed. In
the present instance two of the candi
dates were declared to have tied and
lit r*ix votes separated the three can
didates in the three counts of the vote.

Tho second recount Monday of bal

change the result, other than to Rive
Roy M. Good, who led in Saturday"*
count, an added vote. Monday's check

Good was at once sworn In by Mayor
J. J. Wilson. The first meeting of the

Poor Count by Judges.
The recount shows that the judges
of election in some of the ward* should
1
have been supplied with adding ma
ehines to get a correct total of ballots
oast. Ford and Butler were dec", ired
to have tied at the polls thru a mis
count in the Third ward, where Ford
lost twelve votes on the recount. At
the same time, however. Ford gained
"isht votes in the First ward. Election
boards in at least two of the wards re
counted the vote? after announcing the
result of the election, and the second
er.unt showed a change in the total.
^'h:ch was sufficient to give Ford a
with Butler. It is evident that votes
•ast for Good were counted as for

MACKENDRICK CLUB SPEAKER.
Canadian Army Captain to Speak
Here Wednesday, April 30.
The next meeting of tuc Searchlight
'"lab will be held at tiie Y. M. C. A.
the evening of Wednesday, April 30.
when Captain James M. Mackendrick.
of the Canadian army, will speak.
-Supper will be served u* 6:13 by the
Indies' Auxiliary, and those who in
tend to take super there are expected
to notify the association promptly.
Captain MacHendrick v.-as the Cana
dian officer who was expected to speak
at the association the evening Henry
H. AYilson, formerly a local secretary,
spoke there late In the winter. Cap
tain Mackendrick failed to catch a
train in time to get here from Minne
apolis
Capt. Mackendrick saw three veara
of service with the Canadian army in
France. He enlisted a:j a private lq
the Twenty-ninth northwestern 'bat
talion In the summer of 1914. The
three years of service he saw were the
darkest three years of the war for the
allies. He served one period of twen
ty-three months without a furlough
and won his commission on the field..
He fought in most of the big engage
ments on the western front in which
the Canadian contingent figured.
Henry Wilson, who knows Captain
Mackendrick well, says he Is not a
great speaker, but Just a talker hut
with a most Interesting story and at
tractive personality. He will tell some
of his experiences of the war and will
touch on the association's work over
seas.
Not For Grundy.
According to the Grundy Republican
Grundy county will stage its own cele
bration in honor of its soldier boys.
Strenuous objection is made to the plan
suggested by C. H. Hull, of this city,
for an inter-county celebration to be
held here July 4, In the following from
the Grundy Republican:
A man named Hull, living in Mar
shalltown, had a pipe-dream a few
days ago and the next morning rushed
into the newspaper office to give It
publicity.
His dream was something like this:
He forsaw that Marshall, Grundy,
Hardin, Tama and Poweshiek count
ties had not yet given their soldier
boys a home-coming welcorpe, and he
figured out that it would be nice to
Jiold a big celebration in Marshalltown
oh July 4 and Invite in the other coun
ties mentioned and hold an inter
county celebration. He also thought of
having "the soldiers and sailors from
five ccunties marching In review, with
ofllom of bl«h rank dm United
Btataa army ia command, a cavalry
•quad from Ouap Dodp, half a damn
military bands, a review of troops on
tho fair grounds, double header ball
ftntM between soldier ball tennis of
one county pitted against another,
barbecue with a whole herd of flit
Mteers offered for the Joyful sacrifice."
We are speaking only for Urundy
county—the others van do as they see
fit. Grundy county la not going to
fall for any such stuff a* this. Thla
county had from 600 to 700 boya In
the service und we feel perfectly capa
ble of staffing our own county home
coming for the boys. The Marshall
county man's pipe-dream is very nice
and commendable indeed—for Mar
shalltown.' But so far as Grundy Is
concerned this county is going to have
h^ own dohtgs and It will be "some
doln's" to. We believe that July Is
the logical time for such an affair, but
there Is some difference of opinion on
the date It should be held.
SHIP ANIMALS BY POST.
New Postal Department Ruling Now
Provides for Shipments.
A new order issued by the po«tal de
partment, and received at the local
post office, provides that live animals
may be shipped by parcel post, under
eertnii. restrictions. Animals that can
be shipped are designated as "harm
less and without offensive odor". Tho
ruling makes it possible for those liv
ing in the country to ship by parcel
post live fowls to customers in the
city.
However there are certain regula
tions that must be confirmed to in tho
sending of these birds. Here they are:
Harmless live animals, having no
offensive odor and not likely to be
come offensive in transit, and which do
not require food or water while in
trtinsit, such as goldfish packed In
moss, baby terrapin, soft crabs, shell
frsli. blood worms, chameleons, etc.,
mfcy be sent in the mails without in
surance or c. o. d. privileges, to points
they may reasonably be expected to
roach in good condition. They must
be properly prepared for safe trans
mission. and containers must be label
ed ••perishable." and the nature of the
contents marked thereon.
Live fowls and live domestic animals
shall be accepted for mailing (without
insurance or c. o. d. privilege) when
securely and properly crated and can
be delivered to the addressee withi'i
forty-eight hours from the time uf
mailing such mailing shall not apply
on any star or rural route, but shall
confined exclusively to motor ve
hicle truck routes, and then only wh^n
delivery can le effected on the route
where mailed hy some other directly
connecting motor v#hiclc truck route.
