May Make the Race Against
W. ]. Field.

Lexington, KY, June 8.-Mrs.
Cora Wilson Stewart, of More
head, KY, originator of the
moonlight schools" of Ken
lucky, and for a number of years
chairman of the illiteracy COM
mission, is being urged by her
friends to enter the race for tn
Democratic nomination for Con-
gress from the Ninth district, in
opposition to William ]. Fields,
the incumbent, according to the
current issue of the Pineville
Herald, and is said to have the
matter under serious considera-
ton.
Should Mrs. Stewart desire to
enter the race, it would make a
three cornered fight for the nomi-
nation as Congressman Field has
indicated he would Ike to succeed
himself, and H. G. Duffy, Of
Harrison county, former speaker
of the lower House of the Ken:
lucky Legislature is already an
announced candidate.
AS the district is considered
Democratic the nomination might
be equivalent to an election.

A Good Woman Gone


ited our midst and taken from US
one of our loveliest women, Mrs.
S, ]. Collins, who passed away at
her home about 8 o'clock Sunday
morning May %. This dear
woman had often prayed that she
might be taken quickly and
quietly when the end came and
God answered her prayer forshe
only lived a few hours after taken
i'll, though she had been a suffer-
er two years or more with at
tacks of heart trouble and about
midnight Saturday night she
awoke the family with her heart.
DR.. Wooden was called but the
end came so sudden little or moth
ing could be done. Mrs. Collins
has always been very retired,
unassuming woman who loved
her home and children, never tir-
ing of administering to their
wants, and in turn she was the
idol of those children, a woman
who to know was to love.
Charlotte ]. Allison was born
in Kentucky May 9th, 1856: was
married to Samual ]. Collins May
4th, 1879.
To this union were born seven
children, namely, Frank Tommie,
Mont, Anna, Antha, Jimmie, and
Sammie passed on before to well
come the mother at the landing.
The husband died in 1905,
Mrs. Collins, with six children
came to Missouri in the fallof 1907
and settled in Bogard where she
died May 18th 1922, aged 65 years
9 months and % days. In the
language of the Bible, she was a
good woman and will be missed
by all who knew her, none so
much as the children, She watch
ed over and cared for them while
young and tender. How they will
miss her. How secure they felt
when she was near, can they for.
get her?No, a thousand times go!
As the years pass we yearn for q
mothers love, so deep. so true,
when we struggle with a hard,
uncaring world. We long for her
tender smile, her words of cheer,
her love! o! the tenderness,
nothing to compare to it. We can
never forget her caress. The
touch that soothed our aching
heart we never can forget. She
has gone where there is no night.
''She res teth now, no more hel
breast
Heaves with its weary breath
Pain sits no longer on the brow
Where lies the calm of death;
Sunk to her rest like a tired child;
She lies in slumber deep,
Soft folded in the arms of Him
Who giveth His beloved sleep,
Rest for the toiIing hand.
Rest for anxious brow,
Rest for the weary, wayworr
feet.
Rest from all LABOR now."

RAILS CONTINUED
WEAK FEATURES
Further Retreat Of Standard 10.
sues Undermined the
Entire Market

New York, Dec. 6. - The railroad
shares were the weak sisters Of the
early market. The entire group were
under pressure which had an under.
mining effect on the general list. The
uneasiness, II It may be called thus.
In the rail division primarily was due
to the uncertainty regarding the Great
Northern preferred dividend. which di-
rectors act upon next week. While
the Street seemed confident the rate
will be fixed on a 8 per cent per annuln
basis, there Is nothing tangible ut hand
to indicate the dividend policy has
even yet been fixed.
Nevertheless the entire rail division
was found to be soft and the weakness
Of the standard shares caused n general
sagging Of prices throughout the list
during the best part OF the first hour.
The sensitivencss OF the rails was "
course utilized by the bearish element
Of the professional traders as an excuse
for assaults elsewhere and most of the
representative issues Of both the rail
ard industrial divisions consrlruously
lacked support to withstand the pres.
sure.
As Il matter Of fact. the only group
TO show signs Of strength and were
able to buck the rcactionary currents
was the coppers. These were fortified
by the reports OF improvements in the
red metal industry as reflected in the
resumption of dividends by the kenne-
colt Copper Company.
Later in the morning activities Of
the reactionists were diverted to the
petroleum group. a special drive was
directed against Standard Oil Of Cali.
forria. which was depressed over q.
points. Other oil stocks were supplied
in fairly large volume. SncctaI,ic>, in.
cluding Studebaker. Corn Products and
Continental Can, also joined the down.
ward movement.
The quality of the buying power Mt
tho lower levels. however. resulted in
some short covering which turned the
course Of prices upward again toward
noon. Great Northern preferred can.
ce.ed its early loss and started to higher
ground Several shares displayed mod.
crate strength, notably Mackny Com.
panies, which was pushed up 2a4 and
American Car. Standard OIL Of New
Jersey, General Electric and Peoples S
Gas, all up 1 to III points.

incentive for the renewed buying, which

Washington, December 1.-Argen- tine and Chilean business showed im- provement according to cable reports to the department of commerce to- day. but disturbing situations of varying degree continue in Brazil and Peru. In general, however, the ca bles indicated that optimism prevails even where surface conditions reveal no improvement.
 Assurance of large harvests and the orderly marketing of products are giving impetus to business in Argentina. Commercial Attache Feely reported.
 Chile's problem, according to Con- mercial Attache Mcqueen. appears to be one of curbing speculation which has reappeared. he said, on large scale in anticipation of the placing Of the government loan for $16.50O,O0O in the United States. He declared that otherwise the situation was good.
 On the contrary, he said. an in creased flow of American investment money for real estate mortgages, bonds and mining property has be- come apparent.
 The exchange situation dominates Brazilian commerce, but new hope has been found recently in cessation of the downward trend of exchange rates, the report said. The situation had become so acute that all business men were anxiously awaiting an announcement of the exchange policy Of the new administration.

CANAL TO CONNECT GREAT LAKES WITH
 SOUTHER RN PORTS
Governor Small Gives Order For Construction of Giant Locks in IIIinoiS--Will
 Save Freight Cost
By Associated Press

La salle. H., December 1.-Stand- ing in a rain-soaked cornfield under the shadow of Starved Rock, on the Illinois river, Gov. Len Small this af- ternoon gave the order to proceed with construction of the connecting link between the great lakes and the Mississippi.
 He approved the plans for the five great locks-two of them with a greater lift than any lock in the Panama canal-which will raise and lower tugs and barges a total of 123 feet in the so miles between La Salle and Lockport.
 Col. c. k. Miller, director of pub lie works and buildings and M. G. Barnes, waterways engineer, were ordered to advertise for bids on the Starved Rock lock within 60 days. Next spring work will start at the spot where the governor stood this afternoon on this lock, which, with the accompanying dam and ap- breaches, will require three years to build.
 The governors decision today in- wolves the expenditure of s19.000,000, in addition to the million which has already been spent Cn the big lock at Bells island, two miles below Marsellles, and ? miles above Starved Rock. The Bells island lock. which iMas inspected by the governor today, , is 95 per cent completed.
 Save Farmers Money
 Governor Small gave the word to proceed after spending most of the day inspecting the so miles of water way between Lockport and Starved Rock.
 The governor announced that the state engineers figured the waterway would save Illinois farmers from five to seven cents n hushel on every bushel Of grain shipped to market cn barges, and that it would save the people of Chicago $1 a ton on all coal brought up. by boat.
 With It's completion, he said, fleets of barges can operate direct from Chicago to New Orleans carry ing manufactured articles and grain from the great lakes tG the gulf at a considerable saving over railroad freight rates, and bringing back sugar. coffee. rice, lumber and other southern products or imports.
 Mir. Barnes estimated that barges
