to exceed 95 days yearly. During
three entire months and eighteen en-
lire weeks each year he has held no
courts whatever.
Everyone comedies that Judge Hay
mes is greatly over-worked and is en-
titled to relief. His Chancery Divi-
zion is much larger than Harmon's
Circuit. During the last session Of
the legislature a bill was introduced
to cut off two counties and add to
another Chancery Division. Harmon,
without solicitation from anybody
and following his usual methods Of
"butting in" where he was not con-
cerned voluntarily appeared before
the legislative committee considering
the bill, stated that Judge Haynes
neeled no relief, that he himself could
10 the work, and that, as matter Of
fact, he would be a candidate for
chancellor to succeed Haynes and
would undertake to do the work. This
was the same sort of promise he made
to the people when he was campaign
ing for Judge. The bill was defeated
If / had devoted no more time to my
Official duties in Washington than
Harmon has to his courts, / think ]
should raise no issue of absenteeism
on the part Of an opponent.
Furthermore during the course Of
his campaign he has failed to give
even this morsel Of time to his office. !"
''Wouldn't Have Sense Enough"
The Monday morning sessions Of
his court have been utilized in deliv-
ering what he is pleased to misname
his charge to members of the grand
Jury. After advising them that it
would be unnecessary for him to try
TO instruct them concerning the law
of the state, an dthat they wouldn't
have sense enough to,understand it If
he did," he has proceeded to tell them
what a fine farm he possesses in
Greene county, how he conducts his
farm operations, and how they should
conduct theirs. Passing on TO other
personal affairs he tells how many
Liberty Bonds he subscribed for, his
multifarious benevolences to the Red
Cross and Y. M. C. A., and the num-
Der Of war speeches he has made since
he became a candidate for Congress
When this harangne has been con-
eluded, court adjourns for dinner. At

occupies the center Of attraction in o
political speech which for vindictive.
nes sand misrepresentation has never
seen excelled in the hosiery Of the

ltigants, and jurors, at their own and
he states expense, have been wait
ing for an opportunity to transact
business, when Court adjourns for
the term, and Harmon leaves for an
other county to prosecute his candid
acy.

race for Congress? And who most
loudly acclairns his candidaey7 First
the Democratic press of the District
Witness the enthusiastic approval Of
The Greeneville Democrat, the New
port Plain Talk which hates every
thing connected with Renublicanisln
and The Claiborne Progress, support
ers generally of Democratic nomi-
|nees. Neither of the Republican
newspapers in his home town has
printed word in his behalf. Even the
printing which has been done il
spreading his campaign propaganda
has come from a democratic press in
Greeneyille.
R w. Austin, Congressman from
the Second district, was another fac
tor that decided him to enter this
race. Austin has boasted to his assoc
ciates in Congress that he had man
with unlimited wealth to make this
race against me, and that he propos-
ed to see that I was defeated. In a
speech at cambridge on July 18th, he
made statements solely for the pur-
pose of injuring me and aiding Har-
mon. He charged that / received
$4,000 during the campaign of 1915,
and that in making my return as re-
CURED by law, / swore that had not
received or spent dollar. / had no
opposition, as Austin knows, and
certainly stated the truth when I
said that my nomination and election
cost me nothing.
Austin practically states the truth
concerning the amount which I re-
ceived, it being $4,850. To this
amount / added more than $500 of
my own. And every cent of it was
spent in organizing the eRpublican
party in the interest Of Republican
naminees, from Hughes for President
down to candidates for the legisla-
ture. And as a result the First Dis
trict was the only one in the state to
poll full Republican vote, Wilson
gaining over the normal Democratic
vote in every other section Of the
state.
Record As A Judge.
Much might be written about Har-
mons record as Judge, but space will
not permit. To him it appears emf
nently satisfactory, but I think
state the correct feeling Of the people
generally in saying that almost with
out exception they welcome the fact
that as a Judge they are to know him
no more. Eight years ago he contract
ed wit hthe people of the First Judi
cial Circuit to serve them assJudge.
There were two considerations which
he undertook to give; first, that h.
would never ask for public office
again, and second, that he would per-
form the work Of the nine counties at
that time composing the district. He
fulfilled neither. In short while
after his election, he claimed that he
was overworked. On several occa-
Isions he appeared before legislative
committee at Nashville, and on the
strength Of his representations that
the work was too burdensome, two Of
his counties, Hancock and Claiborne
were added to new circuit at added
expense to the people Of the State
But to ascertain whether or not he
was overworked, ] have examined the
records and find that on an average
he has consumed time annually ir
holding courts as follows:

MAKE War BREAD
Topeka Bakeries viii Put 1t ON
Market Soon.
LOaves Are Darker, Flour
Mixed With Cereals.

War bread, wheat conserva-
ton food. will be placed on sale in
practically all grocery stores here as
soon as wrappers for the loaves can
be obtained, it was announced by sew
eral Topeka bakeries today.
Sam Alexander of the Royal bak-
cry, one of the first firms here to
begin manufacturing, the conserva-
ton bread, sarfd today that the 1oaves
are already being sold by restaurants
The bread is being manufactured
in accordance with the food admin
istration's request that flour and
wheat be conserved. In manufacture
ing war bread, the government asks
that 20 per cent of the flour usually
used in the average loaf be conserved
by the substitution of other cereal
products.
The war bread is dark in color
and, to some extent, resembles Ora
ham bread. The board of health de-
mands that all bread sold thru groc-
cry stores be wrapped. Paper factor
les which furnish Topeka bakeries
with wrappers are far behind in max
ing deliveries, and it is this situation
that is holding up the extensive sale
of the new saving food in Topeka.

MAIL CARRIERS WORK
Topeka Postmen Sell More Than
$4,000 in Saving Certificates.

e! F.. Weide, city carrier No. IS,
leads the list of baby war bond sales
men among the mailmen in Topeka
with a total sale to date of more than
$500 worth of the war savings GER
tificates and thrift stamps to the peo-
pie on his route. All the carriers of
Topeka have done exceptionally well
in the drive, the total sale thru this
source alone being more than $40, 900
Sales from other sources bring the
total up to 100000, or about one
thirteenth of the county's quota of
s1,326,00O already sold, and that be-
fore the campaign is hardly a month
old.
Last Monday the sale of the thrift
stamps received a big boost when the
bankers and business men of the city
appeared in each one of the city
schools and made a short talk ex-
planning the purpose of the stamps
and just what they mean to the gov
eminent i'm financing the war. AS its
first undertaking the Junior Chamber
f of Commerce at the high school has
laid elaborate plans for boosting the
sale of the stamps in the schools.

ing Even Swaps.
BY JACK VEIOCK

New York, Jan. 24.-Trades that
have, been pulled off by major league
moguIs this winter should do much
to stimulate interest among the bugs
next summer
The baseball fan is loyal, but he is
also tickle to a certain extent.
He gets tired roofing for the same
old vets year after year. and new
faces wake up his interest In the home
club.
The trades engineered by the Cubs,
Braves, Dodgers, Pirates and Giants
in the National league and the sales
and purchases made by the American
League clubs will result in quite a
change in playing scenery in both
leagues, and tho the bugs may figure
that better deals could have been
made in several instances, they will
be interested in watching the work
of the newcomers. This does not ap-
ply particularly to Philadelphia.
Many Good Trades.
The Cubs made a good trade in
swapping Wilson and Doyle for George
Tyler. and the Braves benefited by be-
ing able to trade Doyle for Herzog.
Stallings, however, weakened his
pitching staff greatly in letting Tyler
and Jess Barnes get away, but he had
to have a strong second sacker.
The return of Doyle will be popular
with Giant fans, and Jess Barnes will
also get a royal welcome. AS for
Doyle, it is a pity that McGraw should
bring him back too late to share in
the worlds series swag; but such is
baseball. /
The Dodgers and Pirates made a
good swap when Cutshaw and Stengel
were traded for Grimes, Mamaux and
Ward. 1t was perhaps the most even
trade. of all and both clubs should
profit. MamauX could not have been
an asset to the Pittsburgh club be-
cause he was dissatisfied and would
not try to win. If there was an ad-
vantage. however, the Dodgers got it
because they got young blood. Cut
shaw and Stengel are veterans.
