Pissse note that my Propesed amend- nent to that ninth commandment asks you to raise all the farm consumed foods and folders which you CAN raise cheaper than you can buy
 There is, possibly, big difference between what you do raise and what you can raise. If you don't obey some others of these agricultural com mandn1ents, there's sure to be big difference.
 It isn't quite fair to your farm nor to yourselves to say that you can't obey the ninth commandment, while you are deliberately and all the time violating the first and the second and the fourth and the seventh.
 Give your farms all the chance you can before you say they won't do this, that or 'tether thing.

(. Q. p. NOMINATE
 HARRY H. MYERS
NOMINEE OUT OF STATE
RESOLUTION TO ENDORSE PRO. ~ GRESSIVE NOMINEE
 IS VOTED DOWN.

Little Rock, July 2.-The Republi- can party of Arkansas held a con- vention in Little Rock Tuesday after noon and nominated Harry H. Meyers as the regular gubernatorial nominee to bow his neck under the yoke anI sacrifice himself to the cause. It was supposed that the Republicans would endorse Geo. w. Ildrphy, the Bull Moose candidate, but when a resolu- tion of that character was offered, it was immediately voted down. The resolution was that there be no nomi-
 lee, but 1t was met with disfavor, so the nomination of Harry H. Myers followed.
 The nominee of the party is now out of the state, and though he is re- quested to make a thorough canvass, it is doubtful if he will make more than a few speeches. The convention declared in favor of a vigorous cam paign and to organize the forces in the various counties, but this is con- sidered a scheme of the leaders to participate in the Democratic cam paign and the rank and the file is not expected to follow the lead.

Little Rock, July 2.-Letters from all portions of the state are pouring in on Governor J. M. Futrell, express ing qualification at the way tn eacting chief executive has filled the office, and asking that he postpone the cleo tion for governor and hold the of fee himself.
 Governor Futrell laughs at these requests, for it is an impossibility, and he would not hold the office longer if the salary was trebled, for he has business to attend to at home. Mrs. Futrell also objects to the continued service of her distinguished husband, and has notified him that if he re- mains in Little Rock longer than the middle of August, by which time a new governor should qualify, there will be trouble in Greene county.

lmong these are some of the strong
est factors, financially and in the ton

american lines have also arranged to
enter the trans-canal traffic, but ap

MOVING PICTURES
OF THAW'S ESCAPE
JOHN w. cHAMPLAIN, A SEED
SALESMAN SAYS THEY
WERE TAKEN.

If the story told the Waycross Her
aid by John w. Champlain, a seed
salesman about Harry Kendall Thaw
the famous Matteawan prisoner, who
sensationally escaped from the asJ-
lum is true, the slayer of Stanford
White, is to be given credit for IN
bounded ingenuity as well as conf
dence in his friends and those whom
he trusts as mere men.
The story shows Harry Thaw 20
be a sane, methodical person, keen
in intellect and unique in originality.
Mr.. Champlain, who represents the
Burroughs Seed company, of New
Fiskill Village, n. Y, near where
Harry Thaw was seen just after his
escape. He says a farmer in that
vicinity told him that the automobile
trailing Thaw's powerful machine was
an especially constructed limousine
for moving picture. operators, and
that this car contained three men,
one of whom with a camera was tax
Ing the picture of Thaws mad fight
from Matteawan.
And if this is true, it is within the
bounds of reason that Thaw will re-
ceive 100000 for the privilege grant
ed the moving picture operators.
Il was at the magnificent mansion
of Joseph Claybrook." said Mr.. Cham
plain, when Iheard this almost I'M
believable story. He told me one
of his farm hands noticed machine
racing along the road early on the
morning of Thaw's escape and that
closely behind it was another car,
which from the description must have
been limousine. He says one man
was standing up turning a crank to
a box that resembled a huge came
ra."
If this story is true Harry Thaw
planned the escape months in advance
He evidently had friends on the out
side who did most OF the maneuvering
and arranging with motion pict Ire
operators.
Time alone, with possibly the ex-
ception of Thaw's Incarceration again
will reveal the fact whether or not
this story is true.
