CAMPAIGN ID BE
 OPENED EARLIER Five States Will Instruct
 Delegates WILL BE, WARM FIGHT A Strong and Vigorous Effort Will Be Made to Carry the Five States Holding Presiden-
 tial Primaries
BY RALPH M. wHITEsIDE

Washington, July Especial )-The fact that five states will by vote of primaries practically give .instruc- tions as to presidential nominees next spring means that the presidential campaign will be formally opened months in advance of the normal time Of course, campaigning for the nom nations is going on practically all the time, but candidates, as a rule, don't come out in the open any sooner than necessary. Next year, however, it will be different, because of these primaries. Here are the five states which will in : struct for primaries and the date:
 North Dakota, March 19.
 Wisconsin, April 2.
 Oregon, April 19.
 Oregon, April g.
 New Jersey, May 2S.
 While none of these states have com : manding strength in the conventions the moral effect of carrying them will be great and they will be fought for with all possible vlgor.
 The popular vote in these primaries will be in the nature of instruction to the national conventions, but the del- egates will not be bound to vote for the choice of their state if they find that by so doing they would be throw ing away their votes. The obligation upon delegates to support the choice of the states as indicated at the pri- maries is a moral one and not legal one.

 The Burton mystery is not much illumined by the statements that he would be fired if he would only stand still long enough to let a fire catch up with him. Who recommended that this apotheosis of standpatism be hired to 1mpartially investigate tariff condi- tions? The board will not tell. He was | strongly recommended to 1t for knowl- edge of the fruit industry.
 'Vho pays the expenses of the trip to Mexico and Europe, as result of which Burton keeps on sending in re- ports that he thinks are being accepted seriously by the commission? Nobody seems to know about that, either. The board merely knows that he was plan- ming trip to Europe, and was willing to send in his reports from there, with out charging the board anything on ac- count for travelling expenses So he was given 5000 in lump and told Co go ahead travelling and reporting.
 Burton comes from the citrus fruit section of California. The California fruit people are spending a good deal fortifying themselves with information about the fruit industry in this country and abroad. The suspicion has been entertained that Burton is getting his trip because of his friendly relations with the California citrus people who were able to recommend him as qual- fled for such work"

BUCCANEERS NAME
 WILL BE URGED
A Number of the University Alumni Will Suggest Him
 for President

Local members of the Alumni society of the university will hold q meeting per haps today or tomorrow with the object of recommending Dr. Edward Franklin Buchner. head of the department of phil osophy and education at Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore, and formerly professor of philosophy and education at the state university, to the board of trus- tees of the university for their consider ation as a probable successor to pr. John w. Abercrombie
 According to statements from several alumni who have been prominently asso- ciated with the affairs of the university, the name of Dr. Buchner will be sug- gested to the board of trustees for their consideration along with the many others which have been the subject of much speculation. The interest of the local university men in the proposal of Dr. Buchner's name for the presidency of the institution is stated to have sprung first from his achievements at the uni versity as a member of the faculty, and, second, from his work at Johns Hopkins university.
 While at the University of Alabama Dr. Buchner was closely associated with the affairs of the institution and was like wise occupied with many of the student activities. In addition to his work as a regular professor he is remembered chief ly for the establishment of the summer school at the university which mainly through his efforts was developed into one of the most fourishing institutions of the state.
 During the short course of his activities at Johns Hopkins university, where the department of philosophy of education was established provisionally upon hls acceptance of the professorship he has, in addition to establishing this as per- manent department, written several trea- tises which have been accepted as text books in the large institutions of the country.
 Information from university alumni yes- terday disclosed the fact that Dr. Bucn- ner had on a former occasion been men toned as one of the men most qualified for the presidency of the university, in- asmuch as he combines with scholarship pronounced ability as an executive and the characteristics of 'mixer'' in stu dent affairs.

The number of visitors at East Lake yesterday was larger perhaps than on any other Sunday and the en- joyment as expressed in the counte- nance of every man, woman and child was greater because the most care full provision had been made by Man ager Robert E..

his is a division point of the Houston
 and Texas Central railroad the main line going to Dallas, and the branch to Fort Worth. We had just closed our afternoon service for the wives of the railroad men and their children. The car had been emptied and I was closing
 the gate to the chapel entrance, when great big strong railroad man,
 greatly excited, inquired of me, where is the priest?' I informed him that there was no priest connected with the car just a plain Baptist preacher. l invited him in and called to Broth CT Rogers that gentleman wanted to see him, and so we went to our library and when this railroad man met Broth CT Rogers he pulled out large pistol and said he was on his way down town to kill another railroad man. His position on the Houston and Texas Central was to look after wreclSs. Brother Rogers requested him to be seated. He pa tiently heard his grievance and then explained to him that if he took the life of his fellow workman, additional disgrace would be brought upon his home and children and he would be a murderer besides. Brother Rogers read the scriptures and prayed with this rail- road man and when tho prayer was over the strong man was calm and in stead of having murder in his heart he said, Well, MT. Preacher, I will take your advice.' The meeting was trans ferred from the gospel car to a large tent and during the meeting Jack the Wrecker,' as this man was called, was converted and joined the Baptist church and has been a great helper to the church. If the six gospel cars had never accomplished any more good than the keeping of this railroad man from taking the life of his fellow work man it was worth the building of all the gospel cars.
 During my residence in Texas for the past 35 years I have had much to do with railroad men. and know what am talking about when I say that some CT

Poultry on the Farm.

On every farm poultry should not

place. There should be a good house.
proper equipment and a good flock Of
pure bred fowls. One hundred to 200
fowls is not too many for a farm Of
average size.

large quantity Of food for fowls that
would not otherwise be utilized, while

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Flaxseed For skimmik Calves.

fIaxseed For Skimlmik Calves.
We have found that naxseed is the
best substitute that can be used to re-
place butter fat removed by the cream
separator, writes q. q. Mccartney in
Farm and Fireside. Naxseed has all
the qualities demanded Of such a sub
stitute. It is high in oil or fat. It IL
very palatable, and its effect on the
Calls digestive system is beneficial.
To prepare naxseed for this use is a
very simple process. Simply boil It in
about four times its bulk In water.
The boiling is to be continued until the
whole seeds have burst, after which
Il will be a jellylike mass. Enough
may be prepared at one time to last
for several days. as 1t is not liable to
spoil.
About a half teacupful should be fed

ful difference In the growth and ap.
pearance Of the skimmilk calf. How
ever, It will not entirely take the
place Of the butter fat. The skimmilk
calf even at its best will not grow as
rapidly or mature as early as the one
that suck1es its dam. yet in nearly all
cases 1t is more profitable to milk the
cow and raise the calf by hand.
