The time limit within which candi.

that all of the candidates whose

There will be just three president

that only thirty-six electoral candi-
dates will appear on the tickets.
There will be three candidates for
governor, democrat, republican and
socialism nominees. Those three
parties have presidential electoral
tickets. For congress Mr.. Padgett
has no opponent, but two names
have been filed as candidates for sena-
tor from this district They are Ed

Wigs.
Only two candidates have qualified
for representatives and they are the
democratic nominees, Henry Fl. Hill
and Wash P. Russell Three are on
the ticket for railroad. commissioner
for Middle Tennessee and they are
the nominees of the democratic, rep.

probable that there will be only forty.

Grafton in Iowa, where the farmers
are said to be the best organized of
any State in the union. They have

Throughout the Middle West | have
had reports that the shrinkage in
pork production will be from 20 to 25

extra efforts to build up again.

PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
RECIPIENTS ODD GIFTS

Early presidents of the United
States received strange gifts during
their terms as executives, the strang-
cheese sent to Thomas Jefferson, with
the admiring inscription, "the greatest
est of them all being, perhaps the
cheese in America for the greatest
man in America" 1t was conveyed to
Washington by a six-horse team
Jefferson insisted upon paying for it,
and it lasted for a whole year.
Andrew Jackson was the recipient
of such gifts as whole hog from
Kentucky, whisky from Pennsylvania
beef from New York and cheese that
weighed half ton or more from New
England The Blue room in the White
House contains the most famous of
the gifts received by American pres
idents, the golden mantel clock pres
ented to Washington by Lafayette
who received it from Napoleon. In
the Green room is the Gobelin tapes

lost art, which the Emperor of
Austria gave Mrs. Grant.
