LARGEST VOTE IN
 HISTORY PREDICTED
Interest in Coming Primary En- hanced by ku kluX klan
 Activities.

Little Rock, July 24.-With only two more weeks to go, interest in the state primary is reaching a feverish stage. Indications today are that the largest vote in the states history will be poll ed August s.
 One reason for this is the increased interest women are taking in politics and the strenuous campaigns that are being conducted in the various coun- ties of the state. In nearly every county there is spirited competition i for practically every office at the dis posal of the voters, and men and wOm- en who vote for county candidates of course will vote the whole ticket.
 The county candidates will bring out the voters, and the total vote last year of approximately 10000, this year very likely will go to 175,000 or more.
 In Pulaski county, for example, it is freely predicted that 12,000 votes will be cast, although the normal vote is between 5000 and 5000 The ap- pearance of the Ku Klux Klan in local politics, it is said, materially will augment the vote.
 Like Fire Sale.
 The first impression of visitors to Little Rock these days is that there is a gigantic fire sale going on. White banners with red and black letters a. dorn all the hotels and many office buildings. These announce that with in may be found the headquarters If certain candidates who happen to be the peoples choice for certain offices. The state candidates have headquart- CTS in the following hotels:
 Gleason-Granville Cubage, superin- tendent of public instruction; Joe Fer guson, state treasurer; Roy " Leon ard, state highway commissioner; A. J. Walls, state treasurer; James G. Fer guson, commissioner of mines manu factures and agriculture.
 Capital-Herbert Wilson, state high way commissioner; E. P. Toney. gov ernor; Arthur Allen, state treasurer; A. s. Hays, congressman.
 Heartsill Reagon, candidate for Con- gress from the Fifth district. is at the Merchants hotel, and Sam D. Craw- ford, candidate for commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, is in the Moore & Turner building.
 "UncIe Joe" Modest.
 At the Gleason hotel, Joe Ferguson and A. J. Walls, rival candidates for state treasurer, have offices on the same floor. It is worthy of note, also, that Uncle Joe" Ferguson finally has consented to let his picture adorn his campaign literature. Uncle Joe" has steadfastly refused, so far, to let his picture go out, but his friends have in duced him to permit the voters to see his picture, which is a very dignified

EPISCOPAL RECTOR SAYS
 PRAYER BOOK CHANGES WISE

Lenten talks by Rev. P. NJ. Kerrtdge at St. James Episcopal church, New London, upon the proposed revision of the book Of common prayer contained iT- teresting explanations of the various al- terations and additions proposed, some involving many detailed changes, which 3, commission consisting of eight bishops, eight presbyters and eight layInen, pro- pose 10 present for endorseuent by the Episcopal church at it's general conven- ton in Portland, Oregon, next Septern- Der
 The changes are simply the o1nis- sion of what has become archaic" de- clared MT. Kerrtdge when he gave the last Of the series of talks recently. The commission, he informed his listeners, has proposed such a revision and en- riclnnent of tie official manual of wor- ship Of the Episcopal cauhch- used in all its regular services, as will adapt 1t to the present conditions and make 1t more helpful in meeting tire religious needs Of the people in the life and wor- ship of today. Mir. Kerridg'e has just sea- son for being doubIy interested in the re- vision as the new epistle for the Feast of the Circumcision, one of the chang es recommended, was proposed by him. MT. Kerridge explained last week the proposed permission of shortening some
 of the services in the book, primarily the present one for The Visitation of
 the Sick, which he claims is decidedly
 too long and morbid to De read at the bedside of any sick person. and the
 ceremony of uEatri1Sony. In the latter the convention will be asked to pass up-
 on the suggestion that the words obey and serve be stricken from the marriage service as well as the bridegroom's s
 promise with all my worldly goods thee eadow." The convention will be asked to eliminate also the compulsory giving in marriage by which the Epis- copal minister would omit Who giveth this woman to be narried?'
 Tn regard to the marriage office AIr. Kerridge said that in the revised yer sion the VOW of the bride and bridegroom ! are to be alike and the referene to Re becea. and Isaac omitted. He aiso add 1 ed that with the addition Of several new 1 prayers to this service, the office will
 read a bit more interestingly and those 1 in the congregation gathered to wit l ness the ceremony will be more interest- l cd in the text.
 He also explained the proposed addi- l ton of several new prayers such as that | for the state legislature, for memorial days, for socitl justice, for our coun. 1 try, for all nations, for every man in his 1 work, etc.. and several additional col 1ects. epistles and gospels for special oc casions including Independence Day l Three new litsnies have been proposet

 Tuesday evening she went to bed IS usual, but nrst haIye gotten up and fully dressed during the night and walked away. Her disappearance was not dis covered until .. m. Mir. Atwood made inquiries in the vicinity and the only clue he could get was that she might have left home about 1 a. m.

voLUNToWN MAN HAD FISH
 RACK AND SuoRr TRoT

County Game Warden Robert B. Chap pell of New London secured the arrest
 and Conviction Of Willard Gardner in
 Voluntown Tuesday for violation of
 the fishing laws and then helped the
 man to pay his fine so as to keep him
 from going to jail.
 Gardner, who is a man well past
 middle age, was found guilty by Jus tice of the Peace V. P. A. Quinn of Nor
 w1ch of maintaining a. fish rack in a I~Voluntown stream, and of taking short
 trout. for which he>was assessed fine,
 which with costs, amounted to S60.0S. making his disregard for the state
 statutes a rather costly procedure. Gardner was arrested by Deputy Sher- if Oscar A. Main of Norwich on a 1 complaint made by Grand Juror BIcDon- aid of Noluntowr, following an investi- gation conducted by Deputy Game War den ". R. Palmer of Jewett City, one l of Warden ChaTQells deputies The complaint charged Gardner with main 1 taining what is termed a fish rack in a
 neighboring stream, the contrfvance con- ! sistfEg of a 'boX-lilze arrangement, with a fine mesh net and so arranged as to
 trap Sle trout in passirs down IEle brock. The devise is forbidden under 1 section S2o4 of the statutes. The ad- 1 ditional charge involved the taking of 1 trout of less than six inches in length
 likewise prohibited, both Of which
 charges were .es s.ablished by the coun- i ty game warden, who personally prose 1 cuted the case for the state.
 , The VoUntown man was unable to
 muster up all Of the cash necessary to cover the fine and costs, wbereupon the
 county game warden furnished a. third of
 the amount by way of loan rather than i have him go to jail. The arrest, how ever, was considered as one of the best that has been made by the county war den's deputies, and the conviction should ] have 8 salutary effect upon fishermen ] of that community who have been en-
 gagged in similarly unlawful activities. l The county game warden has 8 number 1 of other fish racks in various streams I under surveillance, from which prose cutfons will develop unless the persons
 responsible for tne1r presence destroy 1 them forthwith. In that connection, fish ermen are urged to cooperate with the game wardens and their deputies in re- 1 porting such violations or personally de- 1 stroying them once they are discovered.
 It was stated Wednesday morning that a number of similar racks had been re-
 moved from the streams in North Ston- 1 ington, following the reported activities
 Of the deputy game wardens in rounding l up vioIators in that section. A careful
