Mr.. Davie lives on the farm near

TAX SUIT TRIAL
To CLOSE TODAY
Edward L. Arlington Takes
Stand For Brother In
$4,000 Case.

Edward L. Arlington of Poplar Bluff
yesterday was the only witness on the
stand in Common Pleas Court in the
trial of the eight suits his brother
Carl, C. Arlington, Collector of But
Ter County, has brought to recover
$4,000 tax commissions which were
sidetracked through a change in the
county organization.
Mr.. Arlington probably will go on
the stand again today. 1t is thought
the trial of the tax suits will be COM
pleted by noon today. The trial from
its inception in 1914 has caused much
political interest in Butler County. 1t
was transferred to the Common Pleas
Court here on a change of venue.
Mr.. Arlington in his testimony told
details Of the election in Butler COun-
ty, when a form of township Organi-
cation was voted out, November, 1914,
by a majority of Ali. Township COL
lectors who had been elected by the
people prior to that election were get
ting the tax collectors commissions
up to that time.
On November %, following the cleo
ton, Governor Major named Carl C.
Arlington as county collector. Ed
ward L. Arlington, as attorney for
his brother, presented the bond and
commission to the county court on
December 2, but the county court
declined to accept either because they
contended that the right to make the
appointment was vested in the court
and not in the Governor.
Mr.. Arlington was a Democrat and
the county court, being Republican,
was prepared to name a Republican
for the position, and on the following
day, Dec. 3, named H. l. Duncan as
collector.
The two collectors locked horns and
the case went to the Supreme Court
through the Attorney Generals office
to determine who was entitled to the
Job. The Supreme Court upheld Alb
right to the cash drawer of
Butler County.
The county court then accepted Alb
bington's bond, April Is, 1915. Ed |
ward L. Arlington yesterday testified |
that the bond had been left with the
county clerk, J. o. Chambers, since |
Dec. 2 without having been stamped. !

MAKE The RACE
Continued from page 1.

"a. That it is the duty of the United
States Government to maintain the
dignity and the honor of the American
nation and in every situation to de-
mand and secure from every belliger-

rights of its citizens.
"5. That because the President of
the United States has asserted these
principles and pursued these policies
the American people must support
him with ardor and with enthusiasm
in order that these principles and poll
cies may be known to all the world,
not as the opinion of an individual,

loyal and united nation"

SWANCER TO WIN 80
COUNTIESSAYSFINCH
Asserts Lamm Band Wagon is a
Political Hearse-TO De-
feat Gardner.

Former Judge James A. Finch yes
terday afternoon told reporter fol
The Tribune that getting aboard the
Lamm-for- Governor band wagon was
like riding a hearse," and he predicted
that John E. Swanger will carry &c
out of ia counties in the Republican
primary election.
Mr.. Finch made his statement about
Swanger while in the Cape yesterday
afternoon to deliver an address at the
Flag Day exercises of the Elks Club.
"And if the Democrats put up Col
onel Gardner" he said, "why, Swang-
er will carry the State"
Mr.. Finch has just returned to
Southeast Missouri after having con-
ferred with Swanger leaders in ST.
Louis on his return from the Republi-
can National Convention in Chicago.
81 have bet S35 suit of clothes that
Swanger carries so out of ia couR-
ties" he said, "and any bet that he
will carry 60 counties is like taking
candy from a child.
"The governor will be elected in the
country and Swanger will get big
vote there. He will get an even break
in St. Louis, too. / don't believe Mr.
StifePs statement that Lamm will
carry St. Louis by 10000. Mr.. Swang-
er is strong there and has support in
the Republican City Committee.
"Here is another fact that is weak
ening Lamm in Mr.. Strangers favor
The publication of the story through
out this State that Stifeb endeavored
to delifer the Missouri delegation for
Weeks at the Chicago convention hurt
Mr.. Lamm'S organization in the State.
No sooner had that story gone out
than the Missouri delegates at Chi
cago began receiving kilograms from
the folks at home, demanding that
they vote for the peoples choice, JUS
llCt IluSHcS.
"That has made the rank and file in
the country distrust the Lamm organi-
cation. In Kansas City, Charley Nor
ris will lead and Mr.. Swanger will be
second. In St. Joe, Morris will lead.
"Mr. Swanger will get everything
south of the Missouri river. Butler
County is strong for him and so are
many of the other counties in this
part of the State"
Mr.. Finch, who is one of Mr.. Swang-
er's managers in this part of Missouri, !
and who formerly was secretary of the
Republican State Committee, announc-
ed that Mr.. Swanger expects to cam
paign in Cape County and vicinity in |
about two weeks. He will stay here |
for few days and become thoroughly |
acquainted with the Republicans in
this territory.
The details for his trip in Cape
County will be announced later. Mr.. |
Swanger was in the Cape February %
last, to attend the banquet which was
addressed by the Vice-Presidential
nominee, Charles w. Fairbanks. At
that time he spoke at the Park theater
for a few minutes.

ELBERTA CROP IN
0ZARKS EXPECTED
TO BE ALARGE One
Fruit, Said To Be Safe Now, Is
Estimated at 500
Cars.

Of jane substantially what the peach
crop Will be in the Ozarks, says the
Springfield Leader.
By that time the danger from the
late frost is over and where the trees
have been properly cared for and suf1i-
GENTLY sprayed the peaches have be-
come firmly set on the limbs and are
as large IS quail eggs.
This is the condition today in the
great Brandsville-K Oshkonong district,
lying along the Frisco railroad on both
sides Of the line dividing Howell and
Oregon counties.
1t is generally known that the crop
of ElbertaS in some other big produc-
ing centers will be practically nil; it
is an i'll wind that blows nobody good
and this condition, while to be deplor-
ed, will no doubt increase the demand
and consequently the price of the crop.
A careful and conservative grower
has recently made an examination of
conditions and a yield of 500 cars in
the MISUNDERSTANDING district
need not be unexpected. This is about
what would be called a normal crop
and is somewhat below that of the last
two which were exceptional and can
not be considered as normal.
A trip to the little town of Brands
vile, named after Chicago capitalist
whose business foresight convinced
him Of that sections future, will con-
vince the most skeptical that Dame
Nature herself intended this to be the
great fruit center of the United
States.
No where does every variety of fruit
ripen in such perfection and yield in
such profusion. The woods are full of
wild grapes, wild Strawberries, black
berries and huckleberries in their sea-
son, and the thousands of acres in
peaches and apples, yielding profitable
crops for years, testify to the success
and expansion of the industry.

pany, of which w. R. Haight Of |

where an Office is also maintained.
Other towns IN this district are great |
centers for both peach and apple ship
ments, but none attempt to dispute |
supremacy in the grow
ing of grapes, for here are located the
immense vineyards and cellars of the
Brandsville Fruit Farm Company, a
Chicago concern with a capital stock
# 100000 and whose 60,O00-gallon
'ellar at Brandsville cost $4,000. The
manager of the concern estimates that
heir crop this year at from $50 to 200
ons of grapes, which will be converted
nto grape juice at the Brandsville
liant.

physical weakness all the work carried
on by his company, both by day and
by night, under the enemy's fire; a
most conscientious soldier of discip-
line, energy and keenness." In private
life Surrugue is a civil engineer and

Nasty drug salivates, makes you

ticed great falling-off in the sale of

"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone

Dodson's Liver Tone is personally

it. A large bottle costs so cents, and
if it fails to give easy relief in every

a spoonful at night and wake up feel

It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience

New Ideas in Church Building.

Perhaps the most striking innova-

The steeple, bell, and even cruciform

New ideas in construction dictate
buildings that look exactly like other
buildings, and that above all are
planned to suit needs, and not planned
to demonstrate ecclesiastical actions.
One church il New York even pro-
poses a church inside Of an apart
ment house, like the duplex apart

a winter in years has brought in
as many new ideas in church practice
as this one, and leaders in Christian
