Votes, With Cats Close Second
ROWTON ONLY COUNTY COMMISSIONER REELECTED
NEW MEMBERS TUCKER, TURNER, REVELS, WORLE>

Putnam county polled a record vote
last Tuesday in the State and County
Democratic primaries. The total vote
polled in the county was nearly 1,400.
What was the fact in Putnam was
also the fact in the other counties of
the State. A tremendous vote was
polled.
Park Trammell appears to be elect
ed to the U. S. Senate on first choice
votes. He is way in advance of Bry-
an, the next highest of his opponents.
With his second choice votes added,
his race has been simply walkaway.
For Governor it is nip and tuck be.
tween Knott and Cats for first place,
with Farris squirting away behind as
third in the race. Should Cats fl
nally be shown to be some ahead in
first choice votes, it is thought Knott
will win with the second choice bal
lots to be addeu. Cats, it is consid-
cred, will get very few second choice
votes. The men who vote for Knott,
Farris, Hudson and Wood, are anti
Cats Oh general principles, and would
select from the other candidates for
thelf second chOlce.
1t is said that Judge Cockrell for
Justice of the Supreme Court, has
been defeated by jefferson B. Browne
Of Key West.
W. N. Sheats has undoubtedly been
reelected State Superintendent of
Public instruction over DR.. J. l.. Kel-
ley Of Gainesville.
H. Clay Crawford will continue as
Secretary of State, he undoubtedly
having a big majority over Adrian P.
Jordan of Punta Gorda.
J. C. Luning is reelected State
Treasurer by close margin over
Griner.
Congressman Joe Sears of this dis
trict will continue in his job, having
slight margin over Fogarty and
Forrest Lake.
In the Third Congressional District,
j. H. Smithwick of Pensacola is
probably nominated.
Frank Clark will continue to rep
resent the Second District. He had
no opposition.
The surprise comes from the First
Congressional District, where Hon.
H. j. Drane of Lakeland was elected
over Hon. S. M. Sparkman of Tam
pa, who has represented that district
for % years. Sparkman is chair
man of the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors.

far for State Railroad Commissioner,
with Dunn a close second.
The race for Comptroller appears
to be between Allie J. Angle and Err
nest Amos, with the chances favoring
the latter.
The Putnam County Contests.
AS stated above there were some
surprises in the county contests. Per-
haps the most sweeping victory of the
day was that of Julian C. Calhoun
for County Judge over J. N. Black
well. Calhoun won by a majority of
2S3, the largest majority given to
any of the candidates.
Randall Wells for tax collector was
the only candidate, where three or
more were running for the same Of
flee, to secure a majority on first
choice votes. Wells had a majority
of 81 over both Curry and Howell.
Mr. Tilghman's majority for repre-
sentative was 210, and P. M. Hagan
had lead over John D. Pigue, next
highest in the race for sheriff, of 1911.
Price had a majority of IA over
Cottingham for Superintendent of
Schools, and Bullard led Conway for
tax assessor by 1919 votes. r. J.
+ Hancock had majority of II votes
over Henry Hutchinson for clerk.
Perhaps the closest race was that
for county commissioner in the First
district, where Johnson Tucker of
Georgetown had a majority of 1 vote
over the veteran W. C. Alvers. Mr..
Tucker has been in bed seriously i'll
with pleurisy sfor something more
than two weeks, and it is doubtful if
he was sufficiently recovered to get
out and vote for himself, which he
would have been justified in doing.
Putnam county stood by Gov. Tram
nell in good shape by giving him a
majority of 81 votes over the COM
bined votes Of Bryan, Gilchrist and
Wall.
1t also stood firmly by Congress-
man Joe Sears, giving him a MAORI
ty of 255 over both Lake and Fo-
gerty. H. Clay Crawford also re-
ceived such majority as will make
him think kindly of Putnam coun-
ty in after years-it was only 402
over Jordan.

other part of this paper are only the

The Penny of England.

Most ancient of English coins, the
penny has experienced many changes
in its long history. Until the time OF
Edward l., when halfpennies and far
things were first coined, the penny was
deeply indented with cross, 50 that it
could easily be broken into four parts
1t was originally Of silver and was
gradually reduced in weight, was de-
based at sundry times and in 1897 was
coined in copper. The copper penny
continued down to 1860, when the
bronze penny, as it exists today, was
first introduced.

COMMISSIONER ALvERS
WINS BY ONE VOTE,

At late hour last night, while can
vassing the vote in the first commits
sioners district, it was found that w.
c. Alvers had won the election by one
vote, instead of, as at first reported,
that Tucker had won by one vote over
Alvers. The error was found in the
Georgetown precinct. The original
report from that district gave Tucker
% and Alvers nothing. In the can
vass of the returns last night it was
found that Tucker received "a votes
and Alvers one, thus giving the cleo
tion to Alvers by a majority of one
lone vote.

The Time to Kill Stumps.

An old farmer once tried the eX-
pertinent OF sprouting a few stumps
or cutting some hazel brush once
month for a period of one year to
ascertain the season during which
sprouting or cutting is most effective
in destroying wood growth.
Those brush, cut in early spring,
sent out fresh sprouts almost at once,
the cutting apparently acting more
as a pruning than anything else, as
the sap was rising at that time and
everything was conducive to growth
the bright sunlight, refreshing
rains, long, warm days, etc.
This was much the same with the
brush which we're cut during the
summer months, but after mid
August the area that had been
sprouted at that time never grew
any more brush-the cutting COM
pletely destroyed them. In this old
mans words, During the dark OF
the moon, in the month of August,
is the period for cutting brush or
sprouting stumps."
This man does not attempt to ex-
plain what (lf any influence the
moon" period exerts on the cut
brush or sprouting stumps. But
there are other conditions which
make the latter part of August the
ideal period for this work. The days
are growing shorter; the weather is
extremely hot Casually dry), and the
brush or stumps are lower in vitality
as the sap begins to move downward
ALL of which renders them more
pervious to the stunting effect OF
checking growth. In sprouting'
bruise and peel the stumps as much
as possible, to deaden them. A nttie
salt sprinkled over the freshly
sprouted stumps will have a weaken
ing effect on them and entice the
stock to nip back any sprouts that
might shoot up.
Stumps are quickest killed out II
the land on which they are found is
kept in meadow or pasture. In this
way they will be retarded in growth
by the stock trampling around them
and eating the tender shoots. Where
the stump ground is stirred and
planted to crops the regular cultiVa
ton of the soil enlivens the sprouts
and It will require years of frequent
sprouting to kill out the root system
of the stumps.

Oregon Boys and Girls Stick to Club
Work.

Work.
o. A. c. Bulletin: Oregon boys
are sticking to their club work much
closer than ever before and many of
them are completing it," says L. j.
Allen, director of pig club work.
Much better work is also being done
and results as whole are very
good"
Mr.. Allen has just completed
9,O00-mile journey in Ford, visit
ing the club leaders. In connection
with the county school superintend-
ents he visited as largely as possible
the homes of the club members,
spending from three to four days in
each of the following counties:
Sherman, Moro, Umatilla, Wallowa,
Union, Baker, Malheur, Crook, Lake
and klamath. He also spent a day
or so in Wasco, Jackson, Josephine
and Douglas.
Parents are becoming more inter-
ested than ever before and in some
places he found that the mothers had
organized canning, baking and sew
ing clubs, taking the ten lessons and
doing the work prescribed for their
daughters.
Many of the members will not only
complete their work in the various
projects but will also exhibit the re-
suits at local county and state fairs.
Mr.. Allen gave assistance in many
instances as we'll as inspected the
work and showed how to prepare ex-
hibits.
Although the boys are required to
grow but one pig in the pig-raising
project, he found them growing on
an average from three to four, some
of them as many as fifty or more.
While the season for crops has
been somewhat unfavorable, crop
growing has succeeded we'll, especial
ly for those boys who gave careful
attention to seed selection, testing 1t
for terminating power and purity
and treating it for disease.
In some instances boys were found
gardening two or three acres al
though the project requires but one
sixteenth of an acre. He also found
boys growing three acres of potatoes,
two acres of corn, and doing much
more than is required by the rules.
Very few final records have been
made out, since this can not be done
until the work for the year has been
closed.

Set Standard
For Fruit Baskets

Standards for Climax baskets for
cranes. other fruits and vegetables,
and other types of baskets and con-
tainers used for small fruits berries
and vegetables in interstate com
merce are fixed by an act approved
by the president August 1. The law
will become effective November l.
1917. according to Washington
despatch.
The effect of the act will be to
require the use Of the standards in
manufacturing, sale or shipment for
all interstate commerce, whether the
containers are filled or untitled. A
large part of the traffic in fruits and
vegetables in this country enters in
terstate commerce. The law relates
only to the containers and will not
affect local regulations in regard TO
heaped measure or other method OF
filling. A special exemption from
the operations of the law is made
for all containers manufactured, sold
or shipped. when intended for ex-
port to foreign countries, and when
such containers accord with the spec
ifications of the foreign purchaser
or comply with the laws of the coun-
try to which the shipment is des-
tined.
Standards of three capacities are
fixed for Climax baskets, and
70 quarts, dry measure. These con-
tainers. often known as grape bas-
kets. have relatively narrow nat
bottoms. rounded at each end, and
thin sides flaring slightly from the
perpendicular. The handle is hooped
over at the middle from side to side.
In addition to fixing the capacities
of these standard baskets OF this
type, the law also prescribes their
dimensions.
The other standards are for pas
kets or other containers for small
fruits. berries and vegetables" They
are to have capacities only Of one
half pint, one pint, one quart, or
multiples Of one quart, dry measure
Such containers may be of any shape
so long as their capacities accurately
accord with the standard require
ments.
The examination and test OF con-
tainers to determine whether they
comply with the provisions of the act
are made duties of the department OF
agriculture and the secretary OF agri-
culture is empowered to establish and
promulgate rules and regulations al
lowing such reasonable tolerances
and variations as may be found nee
essary.
Penalties are provided by the ac'
for the manufacture for shipment
sale for shipment, or shipment in in
terstate commerce of Climax baskets
and containers for small fruits ber'
ries and vegetables not in accorc
with the standards. 1t is provided
