great single accomplishment they ex-
pected from the meeting. 1t was agreed.

have to do with cotton from the planting
to it's manufacture would be sufficient
reason to call the men together from the
remote parts of the world.

On testimony of Detective Brady of

In Yorkville court Sam Gibbs. licensed
theatre ticket broker. was found guilty
of ticket speculation. Gibbs denied the

"Grasshoppers will be the cause of
the high price of turkeys for Thanks

Hewes today. He is secretary of the
Great Midwest Poultry and Pet Stock
Association, which has its show at the
Coliseum on November rs. "The
supply of turkeys is mighty small

What's that got to do with grass
hoppers?" was asked.

THE crop of grasshoppers had a
blight for some unknown reason.
Young turkeys simply drool at the
mouth at the sight of grasshoppers
they spend all their childhood chas-
ing grasshoppers. A summer diet on
grasshoppers and the turkeys come
to market fat and good natured.
"The grasshoppers fell down this
year. They just didn't appear on the
scene. The youthful turkeys ran
themselves thin became anaemic and
downhearted, developed nervous pros

Two special coaches were used TO
carry the 81 negroes and Sheriff
Kitchens and his force of deputies.
Twelve men sentenced to death
will await electrocution and the re-
mainder will be taken to the farm at
Cummins.
The death cells will be crowded
more than at any time since 1913.
Once in 1913 there were 18 men in
the death cells. The IL men from
Helena and "Bud" Mayo, the Der
mott negro, who will be brought back
from the state hospital, will make IS
men for the death cell.
The IL Helena negroes are to be
electrocuted, part on December %
and part on January 2. 1t is not

will interfere.
