JUDGE WILLER IS
Big PEACH GROWER
Fruit From His Tree Measures
IL Inches and Meats
Delicious.

Judge W. H. Willer, the Cape's dean
of Justices of the Peace and veteran
IN that position of % years experience,
has qualified as an expert peach grow
er.
He has a treeih his backyard at his
home on the corner of Good Hope and
Middle streets which bears fruit of
gigantic proportions. The Judge yes
terday afternoon exhibited one peach
which he had picked that measured IL
inches in circumference and it was
virtually perfert in shape and color
The tree bore more than half
bushel of peaches which the Judge
gathered yesterday. Scarcely one of
the peaches was as small as the ordi-
nary sized peach and each was about
as large as two or three put together.
They were freestone and had white
meat that was exceedingly juicy and
delicious.
Judge Willer said that he gave no
particular attention to the tree while
it was growing and he said that as a
matter of fact, the recOrd-breaking
yield was the trees own fault rather
than that of his expert culture of the
plant. He declared that last year, he
had mess of extra large peaches, but
they were grown on another tree.

GARDNER REPLIES
! TO LAMM ATTACKS
Democratic Candidate, In Open-
ing Campaign, Defends
Land Bank Bill

Chillicothe, Mo-, Sept. 23.-Freder-
lex D. Gardner, the Democratic guber-
Material candidate, opened his cam
paign here this afternoon. He was met
at the depot by delegations from Liv-
ingston, Linn, Daviess, Caldwell and
Grundy counties. Tom Pendergrast,
one of the Democratic leaders of Jack
son County. headed a delegation of 100
from Kansas City. Joseph Shannon,
who is a political opponent OF Fender
gast, also attended the rally. An au-
tomobile parade headed by two bands
accompanied Gardner TO the local
Chautauqua grounds, where one of the
tents leased by the Democratic State
Committee was pitched.
United States Senator James A.
Reed and Judge Albert D. Nortoni
shared the platform with Gardner.
They discussed pational issues, while
the gubematcrial nominee reviewed
his land bank bill and State issues.
Dir. W. r. Simpson, who presided at
the rally, welcomed the $500 Demo
Gratis from Northwest Missouri who
attended the meeting.
"Mr. Gardner comes well recon-
mended," said Chairman Simpson.
His vote in the primary showed the
confidence the people have in him"
Gardner was given a tremendous ova-
ton when introduced. He-thanked the
citizens o. Livingston County for the
vote they gave him in the primaries.
Col. Gardner made a vigorous de-
Tense of his proposed land bank, which
has been attacked by former Judge
Henry Lamm, Republican candidate
for Governor. as unnecessary and in
efficient.
Gardner asserted Judge Lamm's
opinions Of the land bank bill evident
ly were political opinions, made Cor pO-
litical purposes and not based upon
facts.
The most serious charge made by
Judge Lamm against the land bank bill
is that if it should be validated by con-
stitutional amendment. it never could
be amended or repealed except by an
other constitutional amendment.
Gardner answered that attack by
quoting the proposed constitutional
amendment which states that the Leg
islature shall have the power to enact
other special laws to amend and to
improve the said act. or to supply
omissions or correct defects therein.
