Or Lillian johnson Heard.


Following the meeting of the State
Horticultural Society, the Nursery
mans Association held an all-day SEES
sion, most of the time being devoted
to the reading and discussion Of pa
pers. Among the speakers were f. d.
Fuller, and DR.. Lillian Johnson, of
Memphis. Mr.. Fuller said he did not
know much about the subject assigned
to him, 1.-THE Growers and Buyers of
Nursery Stock" from experience, but
he discoursed the Importance and
value of smaller orchards, and said if
nurserymen would give more atten-
ton to them and avoid the unscrupu-
lous nurserymen, their troubles would
not be so great. He suggested the
planting of miniature orchards at the
big fairs of the state as an objec
lesson of what could be done. DR..
Johnson discussed the Importance Of
improvement of rural conditions as
an incentive to people to stay on the
farms.

Weakness.

The sick seaman Evans ruled the
destiny of the Scott Antarctic expedi-
ton. The weakest link in the chain
gives the value to the chain. Civiliza-
ton follows the path of least resist
ance. The drone or black sheep of
the family centers the attention of
the group on him, impairs it's eco
nomic efficiency; in effect dominates
the household. The enduring charac
ter of society Is determined not by
its cultured group, but by its Sub
merged ,tenth"-or five-tenths.

GIRLS GIVE WHITE FEATHERS
TO "SHIRKERS"

London, Sept 2 (By Mail to New
York).-How the women of England
are urging the men to fight for the
Union Jack is indicated in expedients
adopted ms everaI towns recently to
shame able-bodied men who have so
far not answered the call.
At Deal a group of pretty girls dis
tributed white fearers to a crowd of
young men, who accepted them jOk-
ingly as ''faVors" and wore them in
their buttonhOles.
They were greatly discounted a
little later when the town crieT an
nounced throughout the city that the
men had been decorated with the
Order of the White Feather for shirk-
ing their duty and failing to. respond
to the call for defenders of the Union

AFTER THE BATTLE

Praying MCCOrmlCk game III LQS
county board, Ragen beat him out in
the vote.
Ham Lewis is now for Sullivan. He
didn't do anything in the campaign
to indicate that he was ever against
him.
AIeck Mccormick will now have to
decide whether he will run as Pro-
gressive or a Republican. He got
both nominations.
You can't tell how Chicago will go
at the election by how she went at
the primaries. Many thousands didn't
vote Tuesday.
Judge Owens takes his medicine,
says he was fairly beaten and will
support ScuIly.
The Red Cross isn't around during
a political war, so the dead and
wounded will have to take care of
themselves.
The fact that thousands of women
didn't vote at the primary is no re-
Election on their intelligence.
Those who didn't vote are free to
vote as they please at the election,
and any ticket they please to vote at
next years primary.
The H.-H. outfit lost Owens, but
they saved Traeger for sheriff,
Horner for probate judge, Clohesy
and McNaIly for sanitary trustees,
Reinberg for president of the county
board, Waueck for assessor and Nc
Inerney for appellate court clerk.
The SuIIiVanites got treasurer,
county clerk, criminal court clerk,
school superintendent, county judge,
board Of review, one assessor, one
sanitary trustee, three county COM
missioners and six municipal judges.
Besides the ones given above, H.-H.
got five county commissioners and
two municipal judges.

In the stockyards district McDer-
mott beat FurIong 1882 to z, 484.'
The Socialists and ProgressiVes
had no contests and both put good
tickets up.
Guinea is the Socialist candidate
for county judge-the man Scully
and Northup will have to beat. Cum
nea will doubtless get strong support
from labor both in and out of the So
cialist party.
Even if the Mccormick trust press
did call 'em roughnecks, Ragen, No
wax and Burg were renOminated for
county commissioner.
McCormick's battle will be with
Peter Reinberg-and Peter is some
vOte-getter.
The real fight for U. S. senator will
be between Raymond Robins and
Roger Sullivan.
Being on both tickets, John Ger
vanka ran away ahead Of his ticket.
Except for president of the county
board the Deneen machine walked
off with most of the nominations. But
the ants showed they we're alive.
Mary Mcdowell and Harriet Wit
tum were nominated for county COM
missioner by the Progressives.

momentous as it is, to the east. Ger
many repeated to-day it's claim to an
important victory over the Russians in
the north near the scene of the dis
astrous Russian defeat early in the
war. The Russians apparently at
tempted to break over the East Prus-
sian border at the same time they
were pushing their advance further
south, along the river Warthe, where
the main forces are employed. On
this the most important phase of the
battle both Berlin and Petrograd were
silent to-day.
Russians Being Resisted
The Russian forces which invaded
Armenia are meeting with obstinate
resistance. as is admitted in the Off
cial Russian report of the Cacasian
army staff. The Turks apparently Of
ficered by Germans, massed large
forces for an attack near ErZenium
and it was only by hard fighting that
the Russians were able to defeat an
attempt to envelop one of their fianks.
The Russians state, however, that they
maintained all of their positions.
Severe encounters are in progress
between the Servians and Austrians
and while reports are conflicting, the
best available information would seem
to show that the Austrians are now
fighting in Servia, well over the bor-
der.
The German fortress at Using Tau
which surrendered three days ago was
formally handed over to-day to the
Japanese and British conquerors.
