WANTS AUDITORS ASSOCIATION.

Little Rock, June 12.-John P. Cor don, state auditor of Missouri, has written State Auditor John M Oath out, suggesting that a national or ganiZation of State Auditors be form ed for the purpose of comparing the various state laws, and getting them uniform. It is suggested that the au- ditors of Missouri Indiana, Illinois, Kansas. Iowa and Arkansas meet in St. Louis and form temporary or ganization. with meeting to be held in July in some northern city, where it is cool. for the purpose of per fecting the organization.
 Deputy l.. l.. Coffman has written Auditor Gordon, asking that the pre- lminary meeting be held in Little Rock, and that Tennessee, Texas, Ok lahoma, Louisiana and Mississippi be invited to join. Deputy Coffman wrote Auditor Gordon that Auditor Oathout is very sick man, and will be for some time to come, and unless the meeting is held here. Arkansas could hardly befrepresepted.
 Deputy Coffman is much taken with the idea, believing that an organiza tion of this kind would result in much better laws in all states, through the giving of each state the advantage of the good laws of tho others, and he pledges the assistance of the Arkansas office in the forma- | tion of the organization.

TT is very certain that Picter
 de Hooch lived. In fact, A there were a great many of him; for nearly every town in Hol- land has a large assortment. One of these was a wonderful Pieter de Hooch, as is proved by the two hundred and fifty paintings now i'll existence. In 1876 the Berlin Museum paid $26,000 for one of his paintings. Probably if any one had offered a quarter of that sum for all of Picter de Hooch's work and for Pictcr himself dur ing his lifetime, the would-be purchaser would have been locked up as a dangerous lunatic.

never troubled himself to any extent with their lives or adventures, their thoughts or their emotions"
 When Pieter de Hooch was living Cromwell waged war on Holland, and'the country was seething with internal dis turbances. Only those who could make noise in the world attracted a1,y atten- tion, and 1t is not of record that Pieter made any more noise than a mouse. Ap- parently all he wanted was the privilege of painting the most marvellous interiors, with amazing effects of light and shade.
 As in the case of Hobbema. De Hooch's greatness was first recognized in England, where the authorities made such fuss about his work that Holland swiftly came to the conclusion that it had neglected one of its great men. Then began the difficult business of finding out something about him.
 After great searching it was finally de- termincd that he was born in Rotterdam about 1632. What he did and where he lived during the first twenty-thrce years of his life are unknown. He is de- scribed as painter;and servant to a cer- tain merchant, who was also something of a patron of the arts. De Hooch lived in Delft for two years, from 1855 to 1857, as the record of his marriage there and his membership in the painters guild prove. From that time until he turned up in Amsterdam eleven years later there is no trace of him. He painted pictures in 1877; but after that all record of him is lost, except that he died in Haarlem about 1881.
 De Hooch was one of the kindliest and most charming painters of honely sub- jects that Holland has produced. All his paintings that have survived are small The only large canvas that he evev painted was destroyed i'll the fire of Ro:- terdam in 1864. Sometimes he chose e drawing room with dancing cavaliers and ladies as his subjects; but he much pre- ferred the homeher scenes, especially in- teriors illuminated by different intensi, ties of light, and his special joy seems to have been in painting furniture.

Apparently no one had the slightest interest in Picter the painter while he lived, nor for more than century after he died.
 But Pietcr de Hooch had no more interest in people than they had in him, if one is to judge by his pictures. .As Professor J. C. Van Dyke says ill his book, "Old Dutch and Flemish Masters:
 From his pictures one might say that Peter de Hooch had only slight inter- est in the intellectual, moral, or spiritual life of humanity. He used men and wo- men much as he used chairs, tables, floors, and windows. People were to him objects showing line, mass, and color. He

ering Fruits of Bulgarian Bray
cry to Their Ancient Foe

Sofia, July 17.-Turkish troops
yesterday crossed the new frontier
line between Bulgaria and Turkey,
running from Enos on the Aegaean
sea to Midia on the Black sea. They
already have penetrated a distance
of nearly twenty miles into the Bun
arhissar region, the Bulgarian troops
offering no opposition.
Both Turkey and Roumania are
rapidly pushing the occupation of as
much Bulgarian territory as posi-
BILE. The Turkish government is de-
termined to push forward Ottoman
troops as far as the stronghold of
Adrianople, captured by the Bulgar-
ians after a prolonged siege during
the recent Balkan war.
The Greek army has occupied New
rokop. The Servian and Greek pre-
miers have held a meeting at Uskub
and are agreed as to terms to be
imposed on the Bulgarians.

Fighting the Battle of All Men and
Women Who are Trying to Make
Homes in Florida.

Washington, July 18.-In August,
1911, four parties, all four people
anxious to build homes for their
families, each homesteaded 160 acres
in Volusia county. They went ahead
and improved the land, raised crops
and were on the road to prosperity
and contentment. They had COM
piled with all the homestead laws
and the thought that their property
and improvements was not safe new
er for once entered their minds.
Suddenly they are ordered to va
cate and discovered that the state of
use of it's name in suits to Oust them
instigated by the Consolidated Naval
Stores Company on the ground that
the land they had homesteaded came
swamps and overflowed land to the
state.
The homesteaders fought the suit
and winning out before the Gaines
vile land office the prosecutors APP
pealed to the general land office at
Washington. They then having al
ready spent about $1,000 in attorney
and other defense fees appealed to
Congressman L'Engle to aid them in
getting a decision based upon the
evidence and upon justice from the
general land office. Mr.. L'Engle then
took the matter up with the commits
sioner of the general land Office and
hopes that the decision of the Gaines
vile land office will be upheld and
these people be allowed to retain
their homes.
Mr.. L'Engle went further than
that. He has written the following

Boston. Mass, July 1S.-Governor
Foss has made public his second
statement, giving a list of the cor
pOratiOns which have moved across

their removal to Canadian soil is due

moving to Canada he mentions the
General Electric, Westinghouse Elec-

International Harvester Company,
the American Locomotive Company,
and the Plymouth Cordage Company,
all gigantic corporations. He states
that approximately one hundred and
seventy-five American companies
have moved across the border and
established themselves on Canadian
soil, investing about $2S0,000,0 900.
He says the republicans have been
too selfish in establishing high tariff
