Does Henry Sell These Attachments2

Slim Hawkins has invested in a

the plan of a vacuum cleaner; it takes
a thirty foot swath and viii function
at any speed up to forty miles an hour.

oughly clean his five hundred acre field
of alfalfa in two hours. The usual

each time over, is from ] 200 to l 800
pounds. These are dried and baIed and
shipped to q firm in Kansas City which
works them up into potted ham and
peanut butter.-Oakley Graphic.

Governor Holcomb refuses to sign
the last bill passed by the Connecticut
legislature Tuesday which provides for
the registering of women voters in
towns of less than $4,000 population.
The reason for this last hold-up for
so many would-be voters is not quite
clear, but it must seem bit unfair
to those of the towns which fail to
show the required number in popula-
ton.

crease in prices.
Secretary of the Treasury Houston
says stable conditions will not be
reached for several years and that
there are apt to be considerable fuc-
tuations up and down. That seems very
probable until the cost of production
has been permanently reduced. The
public will hasten stability of prices
by refusing to buy whenever prices are
raised again. If it will show the level
at which it will maintain normal con
sumption of manufactures and neces-
stiles of life the manufacturers and
producers will very quickly reduce the
cost of production below this level.

EATON CASE
TO Be HEARD AT
BARLOW AUG. ;

o. M. Eaton, elected State Senator
In the recent primaries, has, through
the activities Of his political oppon-
Nents been subjected to legal prosecu-
ton Tor persecution) for the heinous
crime Of having spent few dollars
more than the Trammell law allows,
in his recent campaign. Mr.. Eaton s
bills In some instances were larger
than he anticipated, and he, also, in
his honesty and innocence of inten-
tional wrong doing, included some
items that another man would not
have entered as campaign expenses at
all. These things made his expenses
exceed 5000, which is claimed by some
to be the limit Of campaign expense
for the office of State Senator though
Mr.. Eaton was under the impression.
end still holds, with many others, tina.
the correct amount should be $500, as
a senatorial term, for which he was
a candidate, embraces two sessions of
the Legislature, instead Of one, as is
the case with Representatives Can
didates for Representatives are al
lowed to spend 5000 in their cam.
paigns, and those for State Senator,
1t is contended should have double
that allowance.
II is worthy Of note that Mr.. Eaton
made a full, complete and voluntary
statement of his campaign expenses,
giving all the items and making no
effort at hiding anything. His case
is set in the county court for August
I'd, and the justice Of his cause gives
him every confidence in the outcome.
This is the first case of the kind
ever known in Florida, there having
never before been any one in. the state
who, as defeated candidate, was
small enough to push such claim.
