There is a movement on foot to
have John L. Jones, Of this place,
placed on the State Fair board, to fill
the place made vacant by the death
of George Campbell Brown.
The board is composed of thirteen
members, anu since the resignation
If Newt White, of Giles county, about
year ago, the mule interests of the
state have no been represented. Mr..
White Is good mule man but he Is
not 20 we'll posted nor so thoroughly
IN love with the breed as Mr.. Jones.
With twelve other men on the board
aid all the various interests OF the
siae Represented the mule men Of the
state and the various county fairs are
demanding that he be named as Mr..
Browns successor, and it Is highly
probable that the appointment will be
made
The members of the board are en-
powered to fill the vacancy, and this
will be made at the instance of the
recommendations of the county fairs,
and Mr. Jones already has a list OF
these numbering perhaps twenty-five.
He Is not anxious for the place but
If the appointment is rendered him he
will accept it.
The mule interests of the state in
volve more actual cash value than al
most all the other stock combined. In
fact 1t is automatically stated that If
they could be sold at their assessed
valuation, and all the cows sheep and
hogs of the state purchased with the
money and then have millions Of dol
lars left. That being true it is more
that proper that jack and mule man
should be selected for the vacancy.
Join L. Jones perhaps knows more
about mule or a jack than any man
in the state, is president of the Amer
lean Jack Stud, and is always In de-
mand in kentucky and Missouri at
the state fairs as judge of the stock.
He is eminently fitted for the posi-
ton and in all probability will be

EQUITABLE TO
BUILD AT ONCE
RUINS WILL BE CLEARED AWAY
AND MODERN STRUCTURE
ERECTED.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE officers
Of the Equitable Life Assurance so.
ciety have decided to rebuild on the
old site of their headquarters In the
financial district, according to a state
ment published here today.
Cablegrams from J. P. Morgan,
who is the controlling stockholder,
are said to have been the main fac
tor in the decision to rebuild. The
ruins Of the old building will be clear
ed away at once and work on the
new structure will be under way in
three months. The building will be
more than two years under construc-
tioI. 1t probably will be thirty sto-
ries in height, the plan for a fifty
story structure having met with op-
position.
Although the state laws prevent,
the society from building a larger
structure than 1t can occupy for its
cwn business, the site can be trans
ferred to holding corporation and
the building financed by loans from
the Equitable treasury.
