Last night as Senator Harding and
Irving Cobb, standing together, an
artist came along and sketched Cobb
and ignored Harding and 800 persons
watched the artist and thought he
had made the right selection.
Low pressure. Saturday night the
Californians breezed in and tried to
raise the dropping spirits with a
band and some cheering in the good

over their once joyous spirits until
they too melted away into gloom and
silence.

Members of boat clubs on the Po-

trying to find out just how much
ground the Federal Government owns

The reason Is that the new Mary

new features, to comply with them
means a great deal of expense.
The members of the upper Potomac
boat clubs for years have been park
ing their machines near the club
houses. and recently a few have ran
afoul of the new laws. As parking
their automobiles on the road is out
OF the question, they are trying to

ARMY WORM DOES MUCH

Reports from farmers Of Coulee
Croche state that the army worm has
done considerable damage to rice, cot

down entire patches in places.
A farmer living at Scott in the
parish of Lafayette sent to Harry D.
Wilson, secretary Of agriculture, a
worm found on an immature cotton
boil on his place. The worm had bored
a hole about one-eighth Of an inch in
diamater in the boil. Mr.. Wilson re-
ferred the letter and the specimen to
w. E. Anderson, state entomologist'
who replied that the species OF the
worm enclosed was the army worm
and advised that its spread and dam
age could be controlled by busting the
cotton or others crops with arsenate

NEW ORLEANS EXTEND IN
VITATIoN TO THE FALL BUYERS

New Orleans.-In to the
merchants of this territory have been
issued for the Fall Buyers Conven-
ton of the wholesale merchants and
manufacturers bureaus of the New Or
leans association of commerce. The
convention viii lopen on August 16 and
close one week later. This convention
is being arranged with the greatest of
care an dis expected to set new re-
cord of sales.
The fact that New Orleans jobbers
and wholesalers have on hand large
stocks of merchandise suited to the
Southern trade will be a factor in
bringing in many buyers. Another
point t ODE considered is that houses
are really overstocked and will have
numerous bargains and pick-ups for
the visiting merchants.
In addition to bargains. the conven-
ton will offer the visitors a real good
time. An extensive entertainment
program is being arranged, including
smokers, theatre parties, dances and
other functions. These entertain
ments hav ealways been very Fnuch
enjoyed an despecially this spring
when the buyers were shown bit of

Warfare Service.

New Primary Laws
Valid in September

Doubt as to whether the primary
/ election laws enacted at the recent ses-
sion of the general assembly would
prevail in the Democratic primary cleo
{ ton throughout the state in September
was practically relieved Wednesday
when Assistant Attorney General
Luther E. Hall expressed an opinion
that the old laws would be superseded.
The meetings of the various commit
tees throughout the state, calling the
primaries. are being held while the old
law is still in operation however.
Though the laws have not yet been
published and the attention of the at
torney generals office has not been
called officially to the matter, ! am
quite certain said Judge Hall "the
second choice method of voting, which
according to the new law takes the
place of the second primary, will be
effective for the fall elections and
there will be no second primaries as
provided by the old law"
Judge Hall said an official ruling on
the matter would be forthcoming in due
time should any doubt remain on the
subject.
Though the new law will have had
due time to become effective before
the September primaries, some per-
sons doubted whether it would super
cede the old law for the primaries be-
cause they were arranged for by the
various Democratic committees Of the
state acting under the old law.
If the new primary law is declared
in force for the September primary,
there will be no second primary in
the fight for United State senator, be-
cause the voters will be required to
register their first and second choices
on the same ballot.
For instance, IL Congressman Sand
ers were to get. 10000 votes as first
choice and 10000 votes as second
choice, and Edwin Broussard, $4,000
votes as first choice and 10000 votes
as second choice, Mr.. Broussard would
be declared the nominee, nothwith-
standing Mr. Sanders received great
er number Of first choice votes.

CHAUTAUQUA
PLEASES FOLKS
CLOSING NUMBER LAST
NIGHT SIGN UP FOR
NEXT YEAR.

Cottonwood's Chautauqua, un-
der the direction of the Ellison
White system, completed its six
day engagement in Cottonwood
last night and this morning
those connected with the con-
Germ with their equipment de-
parted for Toppenish, Wash.
The six days were full of good
things in the entertainment and
instructive line. Some programs
were, of course better than 9th
ers and what one person liked
others disliked but we are sure
that everyone found some of the
entertainments to their liking.
The big tent was pitched near
the ]. V. Baker home on the
ground belonging to John Hoene.
Miss Bristol, of Waterloo, Iowa
was the platform manager, sent
here by the Ellison-White people
and while in the city made many
friends among our people by her
pleasant and charming person.
alitv.
Financially, the local commit
tee had to make up a deficiency,
but this did not hold back large
percentage of them from signing
the contract for 1921. One of
the main reasons for the defici-
ency we believe was due to the
threatening rain the first of the
week as well as the poor crops
on the prairie the past year
which held back many lovers OF
this kind of entertainment
With good prospects for a bump
er crop this year we predict that
the required amount of tickets
will be easily sold next year.
Sign for Next Year.
The contract for next yeai
was signed by 80 business men,
the contract calling for a guar
antee of 500 tickets and rs pei
cent of the general admissions.
Most people are well aware OF
the fact that entertainers, equal
to those that visited Cottonwood
this week can not be expected Ia
make visits to a town the size OF
Cottonwood located off of the
main line without a guarantee
sufficient to make their coming
here financial success. or al
least TO be guaranteed of ex.
penses.
With a $3.50 break next yeai
and everyone pushing at the
wheel we believe the chautauous
for 1921 will be a big financial
success as well as a most pleas
ant and profitable week.
