Jan. 3.-fhe Kentucky House
Of Representatives was called to
4orderat 1901 p. m. by LilburnI
Phelps, clerk of the 1922 House.
(By Associated Press.-The
Kentucky General Assembly met
at noon today for its bienniel six
ty day session.
Party members in both houses
had caucused yesterday and NOM
mated their candidates for
Speaker, president pro TEN and
employees of both the Senate and
House.
With the Democrats having
two.thirds of the members in the
House and majority of two in
the Senate. that party was GER
tain to organize both branches
with James H. Thompson, of
Paris, representative from Bour-
bon county, as speaker of House
and Senator William A. Perry,
of Louisville, as president pro
TEN of the Senate.
The Republicans elected Joseph
H. Bosworth, of Middlesboro,
Representative from Bell county,
as their floor leader, when they
nominated him as their candidate
for speaker, and in the Senate,
r. M. Brock, of Harlan, was
chosen floor leader when he was
nominated for president pro tenn.
That the Republicans in the
House plan to work as a unified
body was indicated in the House
caucus last night when Jack l..
Richardson, of Louisville, was
elected whip of the House. In a
brief address thanking the men,
bers for the honor accorded him,
Representative Bosworth, after
declaring that the Republicans
were here to work for the good
of the State, stressed the state
ment that I'VE will hang togeth-
er, boys" no matter what hap
pens.

clerk of the Senate and Charles
J. Howes, of Frankfort, for clerk
of the House. They also nomi-
mated entire tickets for the var
ious positions in the two houses.
The Republicans, however, ig-
nored all Offices except that of
Speaker and president pro tenn
with the exception of nominating
Andrew Wallace, of Richmond,

The Louisville Post in COM
menting upon the Governors
message to the Legislature, says:
The message of Governor Nor
row as presented to the Ken
lucky Legislature yesterday, is
an excellent document, and a
large majority of the recon-
mendations made by the Cover
nor are wise. At the beginning
the Governor notes that the float
ing debt of the State Ia debt for
which the Governor is not at all
responsible totaled So, 1872, All SO
on June 80, 1920, while on June
80, 1921, under the operations of
the present tax laws, this debt
has been reduced to So, 021, 376.7lf
a reduction of $714;971.21 in a
single year. This is a very cred.
liable showing, and adds weight
to the Governors earnest advice
to the Legislature to avoid ap
propriating money beyond the
revenue of the State.

The Adair County news., 1922-01-10

To MY FRIENDS: ABOUT the
first of November last, publish (
ed q statement to the effect that
/ was a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination to succeed my
self as Judge of the Court OF
Appeals, and would continue to be
a candidate for such nomination
until should realize that the
nomination would be contested
by some one becoming a candi-
date against me in the primary,
in which event / should cease to
be a candidate, regardless of the
chances of my success in the pri-
mary election.
felt that / could not afford,
under the circumstances, to make
two races for the Office. One Of
the chief reasons which actuated
me to make the declaration that
/ would cease to be a candidate,
if the nomination was contested,
was that to make a race for the
nomination in the primary and
then a race at the November
election would necessarily take
me away from my. duties as a
member of the Court of Appeals
for practically one judicials year.
and I felt that such action on my
part could not be justified, when
the crowded condition of the
docket Of the court is considered,
and litigants throughout the
State clamoring for an adjudica-
ton of their cases.
had q hope, however, that
the custom prevailing in this dis
trict, as well as throughout the
State, of giving to a Judge of the
Court of Appeals the nomination
for a second term, without a con-
test, would be respected and ad-
hered to by the members of the
bar, and all of them with one ex.
ception, have conceded the jus.
tice of my claims to nomination
and have declined to make con.
test for it with me.
In the same issue of the paper.
however, in which my statement
was published, the Hon. D. A,
McCandIess, who was then g
candidate for reelection, without
opposition, for the Circuit Judge
ship in the Tenth Judicial Dis.
District, also became a candidate
against me for the nomination tc
the Appellate Judgeship, and as
l have been informed, has been
vigorously prosecuting his canvas
for the nomination to the Appel
late Judgeship since that time.
Though have been urged by
many persons to disregard the
terms of nay published statement
and to continue a candidate,
have declined to do so, because
will not avade or attempt to
evade any declaration I have
made, and the candidacy OF
Judge McCandless thus elimi-
mates me as candidate.
So many persons throughout
the district have inquired by let
ter and otherwise if I was a can
didate, and if not why l was not,
that felt that there was some
misunderstanding upon the sub
Iject, and that it was due to my
friends that I should make a
statement of the facts so there
would be no misunderstanding,

LIVESTOCK AND
 RANGES IN ARIZONA

Warmer weather has given a marked impetus to the growth of spring grasses and from many sec tions come reports of improved range conditions. Sheep are in better condi- tion than for many seasons past and the lamb crop very satisfactory. Light rains have benefited pastures in the Gila river valley. Nearly all desert sections in the southern portion of the district are covered with a short growth of grass. Snow is gone from all grazing sections of the district ex- cept in the vicinity of Grand Canyon where few patches remain on the ground. Conditions continue good in the Fort Apache Indian reservation where there is an abundance of water and range and stock are good.
 Temperature in the southern DOT tior of the state has averaged about two degrees daily above normal and has done much to put the soil in good condition for planting. Cotton planting may be said to be in full swing and in some parts of the Salt River valley is 50 per cent completed. Cool nights the latter part of Febru- ary and first three weeks of March have delayed development of alfalfa and 1t will be two weeks before cut ting is justified in the Salt River val ley. Early potatoes are growing rap idly since warmer weather arrived; wheat and barley are beginning to head where the crop is normal. In the Yuma section grapevines are look ing fine and shoots are growing at the rate of an inch or better daily and bud punches are already appearing. Lemons are setting we'll in that sec tion; too early to say regarding or anges and grape fruit; blossoming freely. Fruit in the Nogales section slightly damaged from recent frosts.

FRED ]. LUSK AGAIN TO
 DIRECT KLIM SALE HERE

Fred J, Lusk, beginning tomorrow, again takes over the management of the sale of Kim powdered milk for the state of Arizona.
 Mir. Lusk is the man who put Kim on the map in this state - in fact he greatly increased the sales in other states in the southwest and tev- eral times, in competition with the other Merrell- -Soule sales managers, won the bonus offered for largest sales. A year or so ago the policy of the company was changed and the marketing placed entirely in the hands of retail stores. It has been demon strated, however, that this plan hasn't been as successful as the old agency plan in which there was greater ac- tivity shown in demonstrating, adver- Using and pushing the goods. MT, Lusk in this issue of The Sun announ- ces general price reductions in the price of Kim, which makes it even more economical to use when com pared with competitive prices.
 Mir. Lusk will continue to manage the Flagstaff Milling Co.,, and the sale of Flavo flour and the mills other products, dividing his time between the two enterprises. In the Kim proposition he will have the assistance of district agents whom he wiil ap- point throughout the state, leaving the actual detail of selling largely to them, supervising their work and ship ping the goods from here.

ORIENTAL TRAVELLERS
 VISIT FLAGSTAFF FRIENDS

Mir. and Mrs. F. D. Pelletier and Guy Pelletier of Kansas City, were the guests of Miss Emma Merritt a couple days the frst'of the week. Mir. and Mrs. Pelletier are on their way home from an extended trip through the Orient and Guy joined them at Los Angeles. Guy is well-known in Flagstaff, having made his home here for number of years. MT. Pelletier gave verys interesting account of his visit among the Orientals and in sisted, so far as the women of the party were concerned, it was "fren- zied shopping" affair, for the trades men in the far east fully realize the value of the American tourist as their one best crop and make hay while the American son shines. They left Seattle on January 14th and returned March 10th. One exciting event of the voyage was a strike of the cooks and stewards, all Chinese, and the shipping of new crew of Filipinos at Manila. The old boat did not seem like home with the new crew and the passengers fared badly from Manila home. They left Monday afternoon for their home in Kansas City.

 Tomorrow I die!" It continued with an incoherent attempt to ex- plain why the writer contemplated ending his life.
 "What is my life against the cry of hunger from babies lips? read the the letter. "Am mad? I don't know before God, l don't know. Is life so cheap in America that man must die for a paltry sum of SHOOT" 4
