A statement from Walker head
quarters: 'E'.
Some of the outstanding features
of the campaign for the week have
been the organization of Walker
clubs in many of the larger counties
of the state, and the report that these
are being joined by hundreds.
In Mr.. Walkers home county of
Walton a club was started immediate
ly after the governors Blue Springs
and Decatur speeches, which now has
membership of $500 including 800
women. The list was presented by a
delegation from Walton county who
declared that none refused to join
and that they expect to increase the
organization by securing the names
of all registered voters.
1.-THE club membership is pledged
to work actively in other counties Of
the state by writing letters and per-
sonal appeals.
Resenting the early speeches the
governor made, the women of Walton

AREA OF SUGAR CANE CROP
ESTIMATED 524, 200 ACRES

WASHINGTON, August 21.-(By
the Associated Press = The area
of sugar cane, not including sorghum
cane, in the eight principal states
producing sugar cane, is estimated
by the United States Department of
Agriculture to be $4,000 acres, or
about go per cent of the harvested
cane acreage of 1921. This is a pre-
liminary estimate and includes the
acreage intended to be harvested for
seed and strip, as well as for sugar.
The acreage that will be harvested
for seed can not be satisfactorily
estimated at this time, it was said,
as it depends largely on the price re-
ceived for strip and other factors not
yet operative.

All roads will lead to Newport Clty
on the peeping of the sun over the
eastern hills Tuesday and "Wednesday
mornings, June 6 and z, the dates
of the second annual auto show. FOR
the past month various committees
selected from Viewpoints hustling
business center have been arranging
for the event which promises to be
of greater success than last year.
Newport is an ideal location for an
event of this kind. The city's $4,000
cement street the finest to be found
any where in the state will be used
for the parking and displaying OF
thousands of dollars worth of autos,
tractors and trucks. The scene which
presented itself last season when
every foot of space on both sides Of
the Great White Way was lined with
motor vehicles will again be repeated.
These annual displays. of the latest
products of mans mind and genius
is one of the forms of educating the
public to the value of motor power OF
conveyance. These events not only
interest those who have their autos
but it stimulates interest in the minds
Of thousands unsupplied, who are to
be the future customers.
The first few years of the reign
Of the auto it was looked upon as
creation for pleasure seekers only.
AS years came and went the business

eft's that could be derived by these
same methods and have been quick |
to install the truck and tractor. The

and progress the family horse has
become to slow and has lost its pres

are passing away and all things are
becoming new.

Auto dealers and merchants re-
cognized the value of this edition as
a business getter and advertising
medium as will be seen by tho liberal
space devoted to their interests.
Never before has such a thorough
circulation ever reached every corner
of the country which these papers
are covering. Every one of the r.

through the U. S. mails to regular
addresses. Not only are the publish

but they have donated the entire front
