 Trenton Special to Philadelphia Record.
 The Independence party attempted to place Thomas L. Hisgen of Massa- chusetts. and John T. Graves, Of Geor. gia, in nomination in New Jersey by filing a petition with the Secretary of State. Under the law at least 800 signers are required for this purpose, but there were so many irregularities in the petition that 1t probably will be thrown out as invalid. Whole pages of names purporting to be signers, were in the same handwrit- ing. and if they should prove to be names of actual residents, they would be regarded as forgeries. There also were Irregularities in the affidavits, which attempted to nominate Hisgen and Graves directly instead of naming Presidential electors. Acceptances of nomination were filed by fourteen prospective electors. whereas New Jer4 sey is entitled to only twelve.

For she cannot help it. Women are often cross, irritable, hysteric, and declare they are driven to distrac- ton at the slightest provocation.
 Men cannot understand why this should be so. To them it is a mys- tery because in nine times out of ten this condition is caused by serious feminine Arrangement.
 A remedy is necessary which acts directly upon the organs afflicted, re- storing a healthy normal condition to the feminine system, which will quickly dispel all hysterical, nervous and irritable conditions. Such is

COTTON, IN. ARIZONA
GOVERNMENT IS EXPERIMENTING
 WITH EGYPTIAN PLANT.
Promising Results are Secured in the Colo rado Basin and it Is Believed Scheme Will be
 Eueeess .ssrf

Washington, April 3.-After years of un- successful effort to introduce Egyptian cot ton into the United States the Bureau Of Plant Industry of the Department of Agrt- culture reports that promising results have been secured in New Mexico and Arizona. Several million dollars worth of Egyptian cotton is annually imported into the United States. and it has been. the desire of the Department to develop its cultivation in this country. F..5 tl.f
 Dr. webber, now of Cornell 'experimented with the Egyptian plant in South Carolina and Northern Georgia. but the climate in. those sections proved too severe. Hybrids cultivated by pr. Webber also were unsuc- cessful It Is still believed. however. that the plant can be successfully cultivated in Northern Florida and Southern Georgia. The experiments of Dr. Carson. Of the De- partment of Agriculture. in the Colorado river basin within the past few years have proven successful, much as nine hundred pounds of lint having been secured from one acre last year.
 The Egyptian cotton. while not as valua- ble as the best grades of sea island cotton is considerably more valuable than the in land specimens of sea island and the up- lands varieties. It is the strongest variety of cotton, good length, and Is used large Iy for line faces and best grades of under garments. It takes the mercerization pro- cess better than other cottons and makes a very strong thread.
 Seeds from the successful growths in Ari- zona are being distributed by pr. Carson and it is believed that Egyptian cotton will play an important part in the development of the Colorado River basin.
