PRIMARIES IN MASSACHUSETTS.
 NEW HAMP SHIRE

Boston, Sept 7-Massac chusetts balleted today to select the state and congressional tickets that will be voted on at the November election. It was the first state primary in which women participated and they had registered in the approximate proportion of one women to every four men.
 One woman was assured of a plao0 on the democratic state ticket. MrA Alice E. Cram of Boston being un- opposed for the nomination for aud- itor.
 The contest for the Democratic gu- bernatorial nomination. was the only one on that party's state ticket. Four Repu ublican and two Democrats congressman were opposed for re- nomination. Lieutenant Governor Charming H. Cox was unopposed for the Republican nomina ton for gov- eror.
 The Democratic candidates for the nomination were Richard H. Long of Birmingham, the party nominee in 1918 and 1919, and state senator John J. Walsh of Boston.
 The candidates for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor were Secretary of State Albert P. Langtry, Congressman A1van T. Full Ter, Speaker Joseph E. Warner of the state house of Representative and Charles L. .Burril1, former state treasurer.
 A contest that aroused general in- terest was that for the Republican nomination for treasurer The only name to appear on the ballot was that of Fred J. Burrell, who resigned from that office last week, and at the same time asked his supporters not to vote for him today. Burrell resigned after he had been severely criticised, particularly by Republican leaders, for alleged solicitation of contracts for his advertising agency while he was state treasurer.
 James Jackson who has been nom- mated by Governor Coolidge to com plete Burrell's term, gave up the di- rectorship of the New England divi- sion of the Red Cross to become d candidate for state treasurer at the request of the associated Republican Clubs of Massachusetts. Frederick N. Kerr, who was defeated for the nomination last year also entered the field. It was then too late to get either name on the ballot and today supporters of Jackson and Kerr vot- ed for their candidates by means of stickers. Republican congressmen were who | opposed for nomination included Frederick H. Gillett, speaker of the House.

BELIEVE SEARCH
 WILL BE USELESS

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 7.-Search- CTS after buried silver on the main land, opposite Pete Island, IS miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas probably are doomed to disappoint- ment, in the opinion of Dr. J. O. Dyer, local writer on historical and and scientific subjects. The rush of treasure seekers began with the dis covery recently of 25 skeletons, pop ular1y believed by many to be those of members of the crew of Spanish treasure ship which foundered off the coast of Texas early in the 18th century. No record is available of any such wreck.
 The life" of a skeleton buried in the sands of the beaches of the coas- tai country, Dr. Dyer points out, is not over 40 years.
 He says also treasure ships from Mexico to Spain were discontinued after 1920, partly because of the ac- tivities of Jean Laffite's fleet of buc- cancers.
 Even before that time the Spaniards tried to avoid excessive losses from storms and Laffites fleet of buccan- eering vessels and 50 Spaniards transported less than 20 tons of sil- yer bullion to. the vessel. Then, the current rate in Mexico was approxi-
 
 valuable of all Laffite'S prizes, the Sevil1a, carried only $150,000 in specie.
 Laffite's captured trasure, accord ing to the records extant, was buried in three caches. Two of these were located on Galveston Island and the third on a small island to the east which was completely washed away during a storm in 1929.
 There have been many reports ot the discovery on this coast of caches of coin or chests from trading ships containing from S3.OOO to $15.OO0.

SUFFRAGE AN ISSUE

Concord, N. H., Sept. 7.-The can didacy of Senator George H. Moses for renomination by the Republicans of New Hampshire was of outsta nd- ing interest in today's primary for U. S. Senator, congress and governor. The League of Nations, suffrage and the tariff were issues in the prelim- mary campaign waged by MT. Moses and his opponent, Huntley N. Spauld- ing, former state food administrator.
 Spaulding forces tried to capture the women's vote on the strength of Senator Mores' steadfast opposition to woman suffrage. On the other hand the state anti-suffrage associa- tion published appeals to women whd had opposed suffrage to register and vote for the senator.

GOOD TIME TO PROCURE STOCK
 TO BEGIN POULTRY RAISING

Beginnings in poultry raising may be made at any time of the year, but the fall is perhaps the best time for small poultry keepers to make their start. Obtain bullets whenever pos sible rather than older hens, say ex- perts of the United States Department of Agriculture. The bullets selected should be well matured so they will lay before cold weather sets in
 Here are the signs of maturity in, bullets: Red color of the comb and size and growth which are creditab ble for the breed or variety raised. Ma ture hens lay few eggs, if any, dur- ing the fall and early winter, while they are molting. Wel1-matured pull lets, on the other hand, should lay fairly we'll and give an immediate re- turn on the investment
 When bullets are to be purchased 1t is desirable to go to some farmer or poultryman of known dependa bil-y 1ty. Even if delivery of the birds is not desired for several weeks or months 1t may pay to make arrange ments for obtaining the desired mum CT or bullets later a t an agreed price.
