when the State BoarG meets On Au-
Igust rs to consider the contests and
declare the nominees.
The petition states that though the

| the nomination of Lieur. Reece, this
was brought about ny the grossest
frauds, unfairness, and iIlegality."

gallty were utilized for the purpose Of
bringing about "the fraudulent re-
sults,' the petitioner declares that
"one of the most widely used methods
was to have democrats vote in said
primary election"
Denying that the result Of the pri-
mary really gave Lieut.. Reece a ma
jority of 1919 votes, the petitioner
declares that in reality he received
q majority of the votes cast. In this
connection, he states that while the
total reported Republican vote cast
was about 26,S37, there are, as mat.
ter Of fact, only about 10000 quail
fed Republican voters in the First

ed persons, and the returns from Sui
Ivan County should be rejected

Ono Woman's Work.

1T was only little object lesson in
cooperative marketing" is the modest
statements Of Tennessee wnrlan
whose activities have produced i pros
porous dairying community.
In 1909 ii women were organized
at Pulaski, Tenn, to demonstrate the
theory Of cooperative effort Butter
and eggs from the relatively few cows
and fowls of the community were as
sembled and marketed. The quality
of the products, due to the care taken
in selection and preparation, was such
that they commanded the highest pre-
vailing prices. The women's husbands
began to take notice and soon interest
ed themselves in dairy cows. This led to
the introduction of Jerseys. separa-
tors. silos, milking machines, and the
shipping of whole milk and cream.
Similar results are being secured in
many sections of the country. state
experts of the Bureau Of Markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The movement frequently starts
with a small group OF farmers, farm
er's wives, or boys and girls, who
quickly demonstrate the advantage of
improved production and marketing
methods. The county agents advise
those interested in the formatio Of
such organizations and the admins
tration methods to be adopted and
are glad to render every assistance
upon request.
