Russian government has not yet taken
formal notice OF the suggestion Of Secre-
tary Knox made in his note, abrogatinE
the existing trade treaty, regarding his
willingness TO begin negotiations Tor

the Russian foreign office in the eS-
changes has conveyed 10 tho officials here
the Impression that tho stale depart

some time must clapse before the subject

ciary spirit that would promise success
I'm the negotiations. The hope Of the
stale department js that the existing
treaty can be replaced by a new conven
tion before the lapse Of the old one.
II is frankly admitted that much pili

country and the duma in Russia. The
Initiation Of retaiiatory measures by Rus
Sian legislation today WIS viewed with
apprehension and is likely To develop ill
feeling between the two countries that
might make impossible the conclusion Of

RULES OF
CONTEST
Must Plant Acre Of Corn
TO Get Share OF
Big Prizes

Geo. L. Bishop, Of Cordell, district
agent of the United States department
Of agriculture was in conference today
with County Superintendent Newell
and Secretary Kirkpatrick in regard
10 the rules for the cotton and copn
contests.
The organization Of the corn and
cotton clubs is III charge Of the coun-
ty superintendent who is working un-
der rules laid down by the authorities
of the state board Of agriculture Mr..
Bishop has discovered an important
point wherein these rules are in con
flict with those laid down by the de-
partment Of agriculture for the boys
who are contesting for the Gore and
Owen prizes and for the cotton prizes
offered by the cotton seed crushers as
sociation and he is anxious to have
the rules harmonized.
In the state contest, the minimum
acreage Of corn to be grown Is half an
acre while the department Of agricul-
ture requires the young farmer to grow
at least an acre of corn while contest
ants for the cotton prizes must grow at
lest two acres. 1T is readily seen that
boys growing only haif an acre Of corn
would be barred from participation of
the Gore and Owen prizes.
Il am banking on Grady county to
win the $500 corn prize offered by
Senator Owen and also the first cotton
prize" said Mr.. Bishop. 81 have been
over a good part Of the state recently
and it is my opinion that this county
stands the best show Of all to win the
big prizes and am therefore anxious
to have the Grady county boys work
under rules that will give them a
chance to win in both the state and
federal contests. II is a great adver
tisement to any county to win these
prizes and Grady must win.
Mr. Bishop viii hold another con
ference with Mr. Newell and Mr.. Kirk
patrick Wednesday.

made quick work OF the flames.
Opinions differ as ID the origin Of
the blaze. The firemen think it was
caused by defective wiring while Mr..
Edwards is disposed to think that a

REVIVAL A
SUCCESS

AS a result of the revival which has
been in progress at the Methodist
Church and closing last night, from
% to so persons were converted, 1s
have already been added to the church
and more are to be taken in later.
Rev John p. Lowry the evangelist
who did the preaching, left today for
Verden where he will hold meeting.
Speaking Of the meeting, Rev. NJ. L.
Butler the pastor, said today, ION the
whole it was a success. Besides the
conversions. it was a great benefit to
the church, re-awakening many mem
bers to their duties and obligations.
If Bro. Lowry had chosen to use the
clap-trap sensational methods Of many
evangelists, we might have reported a
hundred or two conversions but such
work is worth little and I admire him
because he doesn't resort to it. He
breaches the plain gospel and the ef
fects Of his work will be lasting

Hope for the coming OF peace in

commented on the magazine article OF
Ambassador DE La Barra and the sig

which the results Of senor Limantour's
conferences IN Mexico City this week
are awaited by organs Of insurgent
sentiment
Not a single adverse comment was
recorded in Mexican newspapers to
the proposal Of the Mexican ambassa.
dor that all classes IN Mexico unite
for the promotion OF national unity.
The Insurgents have taken the stand
that their operations have proven
they are willing to risk a great deal
to secure an adoption OF certain re.
forms IN the government and failing
in this they will continue the strife.
Besides the proposals which Senior
Limantour is known TO be bearing to
President Diaz, it is reported the
wishes Of leading insurgent sympa
thizers in various parts of the republic
