WILL TEST DECISION !
FLOWER COURT
IN REGARD TO PAYMENT OF
STATE HAIL DEPARTMENT
WARRANTS,

Bismarck, May 6.-State Auditor
Jorgenson will appeal to the supreme
court from the decision of the dis
trict court, involving the method OF
paying warrants for hail losses is
sued by the state hail department
The question has been raised in a
friendly suit between State Treas
urer Olson and the state auditor.
1t has been made to appear that
Mr.. Jorgenson was attempting to
knock out the hail law, Bismarck
newspaper correspondent, politically
opposed to Mr.. Jorgenson. being re-
sponsible for stories to that effect.
The question was raised wholly
for the purpose of settling the
question whether the state auditor
was to recognize the checks of the
commissioner of agriculture and la
Dor, or not. Commissioner Gilbreath
did not want to issue checks, insist
ing that he had no authority to do
so. In 1911 the auditor issued
checks at the order of the state au-
diting board.
In 1912, when the question arose,
the auditing board insisted that Mr..
.Gilbreath should issue his own war
rants for the hail insurance of the
farmers of the state. Mr.. Gilbreath
objected. and Mr.. Jorgenson, who
was at that time deputy auditor and
auditor-elect. objected also.
After January, when Mr.. Jorgen-
son became auditor, he took the mat
ter up with State Treasurer Gunder
Olson, who felt that he was not GER
tain in the matter, and 1t was agreed
between him and Mr.. Jorgenson that
they start q friendly suit to have the
matter settled. This was done.
The matter was taken up before
Judge Nuessle Of the district court,
and decision was finally rendered.
No one seemed to know anything
about it till the decision was made
the next day.
JorgensOn Makes Statement.
Mr.. Jorgenson made the following
statement concerning the case:
.'The decision Of the court settles
in the case, and is simply an
order for me to pay the warrants,
and. / shall appeal on the question Of
I, as state auditor, am the
only one who has right to issue
warrants on the state treasurer Or

fNCAMPMfNT FOR
 CORN CLUB BOYS
PLANNED BY JERNIGAN
TWO WEEKS OUTING FOR THE FARMER LADS AT FOREST
 PARK, LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, June 9.-Prof Jerni gan, who has charge of the boys corr and cotton club work in Arkansas is now working upon two-weeks' en- campment which will be held by the winners in the different counties ir Little Rock from August II to 23.
 This encampment is being financed by a Little Rock fertilizer company which will supply the tents, bedding and food for the 150 boys who will attend. In the counties where there are both corn and cotton clubs, the 1912 winners in each club will be cho- sen as representatives of the county. Where there are only corn clubs the first and second prizes winners will make the trip. There are only a few counties in which no corn or cotton clubs carried out the yearly schedule, but provisions will be made for caring for them, as arrangements have been made to care for 150 boys.
 The University of Arkansas agri- cultural college corps has been re- cruited for the purpose of featuring to the boys on animal husbandry, the use of fertilizers and a general short course of lectures on corn and cotton. The camp will be Forest Park, and the plans are to make it an ideal one. The tents will be arranged under gov ernment supervision, and the students will be required to keep their tents in order as though they were soldiers. This is the only military feature there will be to the camp life.
 Social features will be arranged for the boys during their two weeks stay, and it is probable that Little Rock merchants will provide a field day with appropriate prizes for the boys.
 The gathering will be the first of it's kind in the southwest, and is expected to be of great assistance to the youth ful farmers. The winners of prizes at the state fair and the sweepstakes prizes in all counties will, for the first time, come together to tell each other how they succeeded in taking the prizes.
 If it can be arranged, the winners of the Girls Canning Clubs will bt brought to Little Rock to spend day with the boys.

Much interest is already being man. ifested in the big auto and pony voting contest, the details of which were first announced in Thursdays Log Cabin Democrat, and quite number have already filed their nomination ballots and entered the contest.
 The attractive prizes offered in the contest, being by far the most valuable ever announced in a contest of this character and in county of the popu- lation of Faulkner, have caused many others who have not yet entered to se- riously consider doing so, and the in- dications are that several scores will engage in the contest If this proves to be the case, it will make the out come all the more doubtful, as there are only a certain number of votes to be issued, and the more candidates among whom these votes are divided, the fewer it will take to win the prizes. Prospective candidates are urged to file their nominations during the first week, if possible, though they may enter at any time during the con- test. Simply clip out from the Log

Helens heart was beating in her throat.
 His step on the stairs! She almost stopped breathing.
 The door opened. She did not look toward him. She did not even look up. Somehow, she couldn't. And then Warren was kneeling beside the bed, his arms about her. With a long, shuddering sob of peace and con- tentment Helen turned her face to- ward him.
 It was one of the rare, perfect mo- ments that life sometimes gives Whatever misunderstanding or en- arrangements the future might hold for them, this moment had brought them divinely near.-Mabel Herbert Urner

YEAR MARRIED LIFE

The sound of grating wheels on the driveway in the yard below! It was Warren! Helen half rose on her el- bow, and then, through sheer weak ness, fell back among the pillows.
 In the still night air every sound came through her open window-the murmur of voices, the steps on the porch and slamming of the screen door. Warren had come. In a few moments he would be there beside her :!
 She waited with sort of apathy for them to bring him to her. At that moment she seemed devoid of any feeling.
 Her eyes closed, she was becoming strangely drowsy again. Then, at the sound of some one beside her, she looked up. It was her father.
 "Is Warren here?" She seemed hardly able to form the words.
 "Yes, he's downstairs. 1 am going to let him come up in moment. Dr. Davis is here, too, and I want him to see you first"
 Helen's only answer was to close her eyes. The languor that was slow ly claiming her deepened.
 It was two days before Helen re- gained consciousness. As it was again night, her first thought was that she had been asleep. The shaded lights still burned beside the bed and the white muslin curtains still futtered out in the night air. And Warren Warren-was he still downstairs? Had they not brought him to her yet?
 And then, as she stirred, a white gowned nurse, who had been sitting on the other side of the bed, bent over her. Helen started at her, bewildered. The nurse smiled reassuredly.
 You are all right now, aren't you?"
 Helen nodded and the nurse hurried downstairs.

w. L. Canister and J. T. Markham. by their attorneys, Prince & Prince, have filed suit in the Faulkner circuit court against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Com pany, seeking damages in the sum of $500 each for the alleged failure of a local freight train to stop for them at Preston on May 31. They allege they had been informed by railway em- ployes that the train would stop on signal at that point, but that when they attempted to flag it, the engineer blew the whistle and passed by them at full speed. For the inconvenience and exposure of fve-mile walk in the hot sun, each plaintiff claims he. was damaged $500.

CAPITAL FILLED
 WITH POLITICIANS
RACE IS NEARING END
MUCH INTEREST IN GUBERNA- TORIAL CONTEST IN
 WHITE COUNTY.

Little Rock, June 9-The city was full of politicians Sunday, coming to pay respects to the candidates for gov ernor. Judge Hays spent the day in Little Rock in consultation with his advisers, but Col. Brundidge spent Sunday in Searcy as he has done ever since the campaign opened. Quite a large number of politicians called at the Brundidge headquarters during the day, however.
 On Monday morning Judge Hays started on a tour of South Arkansas, making practically the same trip as Col. Brundidge did last week. Col Brundidge is this week in Northeast Arkansas, covering much of the ground gone over by Judge Hays last week.
 Both candidates are said to be in good form, and declare that the re- maining two weeks of the campaign will be warm ones.
 It is probable that the campaign will close in Little Rock and Argenta on Friday, June 20 There will be no joint speaking in either city, as Judge Hays has all along declined to meet Col. Brundidge. The schedule makers will probably have Judge Hays speak in Argenta while Col. Brundidge is speaking in Little Rock.
 The most interest displayed in the contest is in White county. The Hays forces are claiming this county, even though it is the home of Col. Brun- didge, but friends of the Searcyian are offering to make large wagers, and give odds that the home man will carry the county. So far these offers have been unavailing, and the only wager made on White county, so far as is known, was $100 to $50 that Brundidge would carry White county with 300 votes to spare. This wager was posted in Brinkley.
