Secured For Two Free Lectures
On Next Monday, July
The First.
HE Is AN EXPERT in HIS LINE
Addresses Are Brought Through
The Efforts OF Business
Mems Association.

Farmers should not have to be re-
minded of the two lectures to be de-
livered here next Monday morning
and afternoon. the first at 10 o'clock
and the second at o'clock.
Through the efforts of the Bust
ness Mems Association, John W.
Newman, State Commissioner of
Agriculture, has engaged Mr.. Lo
well Roudebush, of New Richmond,
Ohio, to deliver his famous lecture
on "Noxious Weeds and How to De.
stroy Them" His other lecture is
about Insect, Pests and Their Enc
miles,"
The farmers of this section should
and can well afford to leave their
farms, even at this busy time. to
come TO town Monday and attend
these lectures, for they are for their
particular benefit. Practically there
is nothing in them for the merchant
or the other business men, but the
Business Mems Association, keeping
step with the spirit of the times,
took this matter in hand for the
good Of the farming community.
OF course the members of the Asso-
citation know that as profits the
farmer, so profits everybody" but
they have assumed the initiative in
this matter for the farmer, and he
should show his appreciation.
Mr.. Roudebush is a farmer him
self and "practices what he
breaches" His ability to talk on
the subject he has chosen is well
known. From a gentleman who has
heard him repeatedly we learn that
he has lectured in nearly every State
of the Union and always de-
mands pay for his services. His ex
penses are paid by Mr.. Newman and
both lectures will be free to every
body. Ladies who have trouble in
chicken raising are especially invited
to come and bring their poultry
troubles with them. Mr.. Roude-
bush will give them suggestions that
be will profitable. Any questions ON

OLLIE JAMES ELECTED
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN
LOOKS LIKE
Post Office Building Is to Be
Commenced Soon.

About the first.of next month Mr..
and Mrs. j. c. Quick. who have
been occupying the DR.. Gum house
on East Ninth street, will! move into
the ]. H. Anderson house on South
Main street. After the death of
DR.. Gum. Mrs. Gum sold the ground
to the Government. Mrs. Gum
still owns the building and has been
renting it to Mrs. Quick, who con.
Quoted a boarding house many years
previous to the sale. A condition of
the purchase of the gre und by the
Government was that at any time
possession of the ground was to be
given. Congress recently made an
appropriation of $4,000 with which
to begin the erection of the building
in the way of putting in founda-
ton, etc. So it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that soon something will be do
ing as starter for a Government
building, after score of years talk
and effort.

F. to make the race for temporary
chairman only after all efforts to eff

At the close of the ringing speech
by Bryan in which he defended his
attitude and for which he was wild
ly cheered by the convention. Sena-
tor Kern. of Indiana. was recogniz-
ed. He made a stirring pea for
harmony and said that he believed
that both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Parker
should withdraw their names and

ing on Parker and Bryan began.

$40, Bryan $40, scattering 8.

the office at the hands of the nation
al committee and had taken no part
in the fight, he felt he had no right
to withdraw.

by rear entrance soon after the
vote on the temporary craftsmanship
was announced and resumed confer

"The vote in convention shows the
attitude of the convention and my

patience. do not know of anything
that needs to be added"

GREAT VICTORY, SAYS TAFT

Washington, June 22.-In state
ment on his denomination at Chi

''The Importance of the great vic
tory which has been achieved can
not be oyerestimated. All over this
country patriotic people are breath
ing more freely that most serious
menace to our republican institl-
lions has been averted.
1T is not necessary to speak of
the result in November or of the is
sues which will arise between the
republican and democratic parties
in the presidential campaign to fol-
low. 1t will be time enough to do
that after the action of the Balti-
more convention. 1t is enough now
to say that whatever may happen in
November a great victory for the re-
publican party and the United States
has already been won"
