chose a candidate for governor,
as there were four in the race al
the regular primary in July.
The two who got the largest vote
were the Hon. Pat Neff, of Wa.
co. Texas, and the Hon. j. W.
Bailey of GAINESVILLE, Texas.
Bailey led the ticket by a large
vote in the regular primary. The
run-off is set for Aug. %. They
have quit electioneering and
gone to mud-slinging. | will be

The Neff faction has bought the

and is very hard for man to

of the people. This county will
give Bailey a majority. AS to
other counties one has to guess,
either will make a good governor,
so let 'er go.
The Lamar Co. Fair opens the
9Th 'of September. We expect
the best fair Lamar Co. has ever
had. There seems to be much
interest shown in the agricultur-
al department. The Fair asso-
citation is spending a lot of mon
ey improving the GROUNDS and
buildings. Among other things
they are building a large audi
forum that will be worth much
to the city of Paris for large
gatherings such as conventions,
etc.
The crop situation is very good
at this time, altho' no one can
tell very much what a cotton
crop will be at this stage of the
game. There is some weevil and
worms in North Texas. The
farmers Iare in grave doubt about
the crop.

SHORTAGE OF
 RURAL MAIL CARRIERS

Washington, Feb. 2.-Hural mail carriers are resigning at the rate of 50 day. w. D.. Brown, represent ing the National Rural Mail Carriers association, told the senate postal committee today, adding the service faced serious difficulties unless. finan- cial relief was accorded the employ ees soon. He asked a permanent in- crease of approximately 60 per cent over the prsent pay base of s12OO per annum, with minimum base of $1920 The increased annual expense would be about S7S,OOO,OO0, he said
 The carriers do not earn as much as farm laborers at the present, Brown declared.
 Chairman Townsend, republican of Michigan, said that in view of the con- dition of the treasury he did not be- lieve congress would be disposed to grant the increase asked until the joint committee on the reclassification of salaries had reported

GAME WARDEN ASKS FOR
 HUNTERS SUGGESTIONS

Phoenix, Feb. 2.-7Arizona hunters now have a chance to suggest desired revisions in game laws of the state. State Game Warden Joe Prochaska has sent to- gun clubs and rife clubs in all parts of the state a letter ask ing for any suggestions regarding game seasons and bag limits. The game warden said he sought a free expression of opinion in contemplation of possible changes in the game laws.
 The state game warden also said the United States biological survey had promised to send two trappers for duty in the Sitgreaves national forest to protect the states herd of elk. Mountain lions and other predatory animals were reported menacing the young elk. Warden Prochaska re- quested that federal trappers be sent after he had made a visit to the elk preserve and had seen the need for protective measures

MORMONS TO SELECT SITE
 FOR TEMPLE AT MESA, ARIZ

Mesa, Ariz Feb. 2.-Heber Grant president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is guest of Mesa for several days, with him coming George F. Richards and Dav, id O Mckay of the church council of twelve, president James w. McMur- rin of the California mission and Col William Young. They came to at tend the conference of Maricopa stake, one of the richest within the church, and now embracing IA wards, with IA church. buildings, 12 chapels and two mission houses. It is headed by J. w. Lesuer as stake president A
 One of the most important features of president Grants visit will be his determination of the site of the new half million dollar Mormon temple, the only one in the Southwest It is to be placed on tract or at least five acres within Mesa, possibly on 10 acres to be within a beautiful park, created under the plans now approv- ed. There has been suggestion that it's best site would be at the top of Hayden Butte, an eminence within the Tempe townsite, beside Salt river and overlooking the entire Salt river val ley.

COTTON MARKET REPORTED
 HOLDING AROUND s1 CENTS

Phoenix, Ariz. Feb. 2.-The cotton market, for a month around S1 cents for prime Pima long-staple, appears to have stiffened materially, as of fers of 90 cents are reported to have been made Glendale growers within the past few days. A large number of farmers are holding for a dollar and are confident they will get it.
 The gins still are working, the better grades now reinforced by de- liveries of 'bollie'' cotton that had been nipped by frost. The latter is of very much lower grade and is handled only by the Mccall gin, which refuses it when wet. The frequent rains are affecting, also, the planting of the next crop. Most of the plow- ing is being done by tractors, which cannot work in damp fields. So, if the unusual wet spell keeJs up much longer, there is likely to be a shrink age of the 15,OOO acres expected in cotton in the Salt River Valley this season.

 "oFFER FOR YEARLINe STEERS

Phoenix, Feb. 6-Best offers for yearling steers this year, in Arizona are $42.50 a head, although it is ex- pected by cattlemen that better of ferings will be made soon, according to Secretary Ed w. Stephens of the state livestock sanitary commission. The secretary has returned from a trip to the big ranches. The trip included visit at the Cananea Cat tie company's Headquarters on the Mexican side.
 The cattlemen report expectations of even better prices when buyers from all over the country get togeth- CT on February IF, IS, 19 and 20 in Tucson at the annual convention of the Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- ton. The convention is to be follow ed by that of the Panhandle Associa 1, tion. According to Secretary Step- hens information the cattlemen count upon the fine range conditions here and the trough conditions in Calif- ornia to result in better prices in Arr zona eventually Plenty of feed is reported oa all of the state Idpges to carry the cattle along to the best advantage.
 The Cananea cattle country is in remarkable fine condition, MT. Step- hens says, and reminds him much of the Arizona country 30 years ago be- fore the range was depleted by hard usage. The deer were so plentiful there, he says that venison sells on the market along with beef and at about the same price, and it is said that 250,000 head of deer were slaugh- tered in Mexico last year. Stephens reports prosperous conditions in Mex ico from the border line.
 He found the machinery of the Mexican law working in lively fash ion, a recent bank robbery there had resulted in the killing of five men be- ing followed almost immediately with the public hanging of three of the robbers.

 EIGHTEEN YEARS
Mrs. Curtis Gains Ten Pounds And Ends Troubles By Taking TanIac.

Since I began taking .Tanlac I feel better than I have at any time in the past eighteen years, said Mrs. G. Cur. tis, who owns and lives at an apart ment house opposite Idora Park on Telegraph Ave, Oakland, Cal. Con- .tinuing, she said:
 q suffered with indigestion for IS years, would go for two or three , days at time without eating bite, and when I did manage to force down , little something I would be in the most intense misery afterwards. Gas would form and I would bloat so bad ly I could hardly get my breath and I would have the worst sort of pains over my liver-just steady, dull pain for two or three days at time. I used to have the headache every other day regularly and would have such dizzy spells 1 would have to eith- ser sit down or lie down to keep from falling, and I was so weak and run down it was all I could do to do my house work.
 '"Tanlac was recommended to me by my sister who lives in Oklahoma, who had been greatly benefited by taking it, and decided to try it. 1 had taken every sort of medicine I could hear of without any good re- ssults, but when I started on Tanlac I knew I had at last found the medi, cine I needed, for after I had finished the second bottle I had a good appe- tite, could sleep better, would wake up greatly refreshed, and was i'm proved in every way. l am never bothered with gas and havn't had the headache for over two months and never have those dizzy spells any more. I have gained ten pounds in weight and feel stronger than I have in years, and can do all my house. work with the greatest ease. My friends all ask me what I have been doing to look so much better and it is always a pleasure TOT me to tell them I have been taking Tanlac".

driven from his native land by re-
ligious intolerance, and sought and
found in America intellectual freedom.
This man, Priestly, never earned over

and laid the foundation of modern
chemistry.
The great steel industries of our
country, the vast rubber business, the
tremendous packing interests would
deem it rare privilege were this man

and give him the scientific tools that
would gladden. his heart, and to ac-

Much of the great industrial wealth
of this country can be traced to the
effort Of some obscure chemist, some
jealous devotee to pure science, who
thought little of self and who never
shared in the fruits of his researches.

the food we eat, the clothing we wear

of matter, and matter is that upon
which energy, human and otherwise,
is expended. The science embraces
the star dust of outermost space, the
swirling volcanoes of sun gases, and
the bacteria that nibble our food.

Still Much to Be Done.
There is a danger that great indus

existence to the science Of chemistry,
in the fullness of their present pros

past and their obligation to the future.
There is still much to be done in the
Improvement of old processes and the
discovery Of new. To handicap the
chemical laboratories of our educa-
tional institutions. whence comes the
stream of technically trained men, and
the unselfish contributions of pure
science, is effectual to kill the erst-

The universities cannot carry the
burden without the aid of enlightened
industrialism. They cannot raise the
price of their product to meet the ever
increasing cost of laboratories, scien-

and pure research No thinking man
can fail to recognize that the ranks of
the teaching profession, present and
