A few OF the leaders put their hoads
together tonight and after Weighing
things and much figuring evolved the
following slate for the state ticket.
which they say will be a winner be-
fore the convention, unless possibly
there can he some trades made for
votes for chairman:
Governor-W. X. Makemson, George
town.
Lieutenant overnor-R. b. Rentfro.
Brownsville.
ney-General-E. II. Meek, Fort
Worth
comptroller-G. A. Tomllnson, Fort
Worth.
Land commissloner-Ed Anderson.
Austin.
Treasurer. @. Lowdon, Abilene.
Superintendent Public Instruction
w. N. Linton, Point Isabel, or j. Wcs-
ley Boynton or Hamilton.
The almost certainty OF the nom
ination OF w. X. Makemson OF George
town to head tho ticket has made the
Grant stock for chalrmanahip OF the
state executive committee take
boom. The argument used is that as
the head OF the ticket will be taken
from South Texas the Northern part
OF the state should have the CHAIRMAN
ship OF the committee.
Il now seems likely for the reasons
given that Terrclls strength may go
20 Grant.
Since the withdrawal OF ogden and
Meek from the candidacy for the nom
nation OF governor the idea Of indors-
ing Nusent for governor Inns been gain
ing strength, ceveral delegations have
expressed n desire to do this, since
the withdrawal OF the gentlemen named
relieves Thorn OF instructions where
such were made. The party leaders,
however, are In n majority against
such n mova and while the matter
will likely come UP In tho convention,
they wtli force the nomination OF n
straight tioleHt rs any fusion would
give the lily whites the advantage Ia
the national party's ranks. Had It not
been for tho lily whites nominating
a straight ticket u fusion would have
been made by this convention.

and knees If people who make so
much fuss over the operation could
once see the work done as we did in
celery fields near Mount Morris, n. y,
where the men used hoes like the one
here illustrated, it would dawn upon
them that celery can be handled with
small fraction of the effort usually
wasted upon it. The tool consists of
an old hoe to the blade of which a
piece of wornout cross-cut saw, eight
cen inches long, is fastened by rivets
as shown. Two men, each provided
with one Of these hoes, operate on one
row, one walking on one side, plying
the hoe across the row, the other on
the other side If one man does the
work alone, he hills one side first, then
going back, the other. The operator
standing on one side of the row. sets
the hoe (blade in line with row. about
eighteen inches or more from it on the
other side, and simply draws the loose
muclzy soil up against the stalks, thus
bending them upward, and making
them grow upright and compact. 1t is
an easy piece of work in such soils.
On our grounds it only works wei
when the soil is kept very loose and
mellow by thorough cultivation
