State During This
Week.
OHIO LOST, LOSES ALL.
Many Of His Chief Lieutenants
Feel That the Result Will
Make or Mar Him.

Washington, May 13.-President
Taft is in Marietta. Ohio. where to,
day he will begin final campaign of
speech-making in his home state be-
fore the presidential primaries there
May 81.
Final conferences with Taft leaders
in Washington developed that the
President will probably attack Col
onel Roosevelt along new lines on
his Ohio trip. 1t was said that Mr..
Roosevelt's position in the United
States steel corporations absorption
of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Com
pany would be one of the criticisms
by Mr.. Taft.
Close friends of the President do
not conceal their deep interest in his
OHIO trip. On the result of the pri-
maries there. some of them believe.
may depend the future course Of the
President in his fight for renomi-
nation. Mr.. Taft was told on his
visit to Ohio last week that he must
spend more than week in active
campaigning.

MISSlSTARLING'S LETTER.

Nau. Laos, Feb. Ia. 1912 Via
Bangkok. Owing to my long trip,
! have been a little late in writing
this e ter, but the good wishes are
sincere and hearty. though they may
be old. Just before leaving CHI Mai, |
got group picture, taken during
the Xmas sports, to send you
have already received word that my
goods have started from Ch'Mai.
and hope to find the picture among
them. In which case, shall mail il
to you Immediately. / am sorry so
few Of the missionaries are IN il, but
the picture was taken early, before
the others arrived. You will not be
interested in the men. except the
head man" who stands 6 f. a in. in
his stocking feet. and is very good
looking, but played foot ball like a
four-year old.
| have found Nau anything but
dull place since coming here. Last
Saturday morning we we're all invit-
ed to the Commissioners palace to
meet Prince Varet and his party.
Two pavilious had been erected, one
for the ladies Of high rank, and the
other for the officials. We we're
seated in order of rank. first the
three biggest native princesses. then
our missionary ladies, in order Of
seniority. We were on the front
row. and behind US. the smaller
fry. The native skirts over here
are much more elaborate than the
Ch'Mai skirts, and some of these
we're more exquisitely embroidered
in bright colors than anything l ever
saw.
| was disappointed, that my kodak
films were in Ch'Mai, as it arrived.
First came the ponies. nearly 100,
loaded with baggage; next a Shau
band beating drums and gongs; then
the royal band dressed in red with
drums covered with cloth of same
color; then the lictors, with their
long poles tipped with steel points;
then the men carrying the Nau
swords, rich and valuable collec
ton; and last the procession of rich
ly caparisoned elephants. with
howdahs on their backs, carrying
the royal party.
The prince is a fine looking man
of about your age, with iron-grey
hair and clipped moustache. he
dresses in Eur opean clothes, and
speaks English. His wife is a good
deal younger. and ifyou can imagine
one with short hair that is reached

HOpkinsville Wins Debate Over
jacksonville High School
Friday Night.
JUDGES FROM OUT-OF-TOWN.
Six Boys We're Participants in
The Animated OratOrical
Bout.

Hopkinsvile High School defeat
ed Madisonville High School in de-
bate at the courthouse Friday night
on the subject Resolved, That the
Standard Of American Patriotism
has Declined"
Under the rules, Madisonville, be-
ing the challenging side, selected the
subject and Hopkinsville, having
choice Of sides, selected the affirma-
tive.
In the order in which they spoke
the speakers we're:
Affirmative Negative
Calvin Thompson, Chas. Bourland
SDhn Dotson. Clarence Cliff,
Thomas Roberts. Fay Townes.
Charles Clark, of the local High
School class. presided over the meet
ing.
The judges we're Superintendent
Smith, Of Clarksville; Superintend.
ent Ship. of Princeton, and Prlnci-
pal Clifford, of Guthrie.
Individually and as group the
MadisonvilIe boys were outclassed
as speakers and in the arguments
brought forward. They also found
it necessary to refer to their manu-
scripts frequently. while the Hop
kinsviIe boys knew their speeches
perfectly and never once had to be
prompted. OF the visitors Mr..
ToNnes bore off the honors. He pos
sesses good speaking ability, has a
strong, clear voice and his delivery
was good. The locals divided the
subject in hand and all acquitted
themselves most hands omely. Mr..
Thompson took the military feature,
John Dotson the political and Thomas
Roberts dwelt upon statesmen ana
heroes whose patriotism illumines
the pages of our history. Mr.. Rob
erts has won a medal for oratory
and is graceful, accomplished and
forceful speaker, and while all of
the boys did well. his speech was the
telling argument of his side. The
five minute rejoinder of Mr.. Thomp-
son, who was entitled to close, was a
very creditable summing up of the
arguments and though his oppo-
nsAts sought to interrupt him by
questions he proved equal to the
emergency.
The judges retired and in short
while returned. Prof. Smith an
nounced the decision in humorous
speech that kept everybody in sus-
pense until the last word. He said
the decision was unanimous and that
the three judges. acting each in
dependent Of the others. had graded
the six speeches in the same order.

Not to Be Sneezed At
rom the Pittsburg Post.

From the Pittsburg Post.
 Tn October, 1890, an American citizen Mr. Joseph Jonassen of New York, was arrested in Berlin "wickedly. feloniously and reasonably avowing a willingness to sLeeze at the German Emperor" And vet from the earliest times the act of sneez- ing has been held in respect and venera- tion. The old Greeks cried, love pre- serve thee' when a man sneezed. The Romans cried, "Sit salutiferum" or Ser vet te Deus." In modern Italy the sneeze is greeted with "Fellcita," in France with ''Dieu vous benise," in Germany with "Gesundheit," In Ireland, Scotland and Sweden with God bless you"
 Nevertheless the augury was not al- ways a favorite one. In ancient times the sEeeze often caused alarm instead of re- joicing As Timotheus was sailing out of an Athenian port he happened to emit a mighty sneeze. The whole fleet heard it. The sailors rose and clamored to return. Lrckily, Timotheus had presence of mind to exclaim:
 And do you marvel, O, Athenians, that among 10000 there Is one whose head is moist? How would ye bawl were all of us to be so afflicted?" Thereupon the fleet sailed out to victory.
 In Hindoostan if the men praying while performing their ablutions in the Ganges should chance to sneeze they have to be- gin their prayers all over again In some parts of England the superstition is held that if one sneezes for three nights in succession some one in that house is doomed to death.

LATEST TRADING
 LET PRICES HEAVY
Break Caused by Report Indicating Improvement
 in Winter Wheat

Chicago, May 15.-Comprehensive re- ports indicating a material improvement in winter wheat since May 1 and pre- dieting that the June statement from the federal government would show q high condition for the spring crop, caused sharp break in the wheat market to- day. Latest trading left prices heavy, 11k d17sc under last night. Corn finished Ac lower to A@s4o up, oats off ss@Aq1sc and provisions varying from 10 down to 5c up.
 A hard fight took place between im- portant forces in the wheat pit. One of the most widely known spectators was credited with unloading a big line, chiefly September delivery, while the owner of much of the cash wheat here was believed to be buying heavily. There also was lively covering by shorts when the market at last gave way under the weight of offerings from the longs. At no time was the market able to rise above last nights level and there was only trifle reaction from the low point of the day. July ranged from I11&QQ LIPS, closing 1s@5sc down, at sL11h0 LIS.
 Although for the most part corn showed stubborn strength, prices finally sagged when the wheat market dropped in ear nest Shortage in the May option was thought to be responsible for most of the firmness. July fluctuated between 765s@77 and 7755c. with the close easy at last nights figures, 77lsc. Cash demand was slim. No 2 yellow, S112@S2c.
 Uniformly good crop reports had a bearish effect on oats especially near the end of the day. The opposite ten deneies of wheat and corn made the feeling earlier nervous and unsettled. July ranged between 52ssc and 5sc. The close, 52asc, represented a fall of lzc net
 Support from packers appeared to be the reason for an advance of 2EG5c for lard and ribs. The effect of larger re- ceipts of hogs than expected was shown in pork, setback of 71b610c.
