SAVED THE GOOD
OLD FAMILY NAME

To Wipe Out Stigma of Husbands
Impeachment, Mrs. Miriam A. Fer
gusOn Entered the Texas Primary
Campaign and Won Democratic
Nomination for Governor. She Will
Be First Woman Governor in u. S.
Husband, Barred from Office, to
Be Real Executive.
By winning the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor of Texas, Mrs.
lIiriam A. Ferguson's cherished de-
sire is fulfilled. Ever since her hus-
band, James E. Ferguson, was i'm
peach-d from the same office a few
years ago, she has prayed for some
means of wiping out this stain upon
the family name. Barred from hold
ing the office, Mr.. Ferguson could not
go before the people again as a can
didate, so his wife hit upon the plan
of running in his place.
Last Saturday was primary day in
Texas and "Ma" Ferguson won the
nomination by a handsome majority.
This result is almost certain to mean
that she will be the first woman ever
elected as governor of a state, and
Texas will have the distinction of be-
ing the first state to elect woman to
the governors chair for Democratic
nomination in that state is almost
equivalent to election.
Mrs. Ferguson made no active cam
paign herself. She let her husband
do that for her. She admitted freely
that if elected she would be governor
in name only, and that her husband
would be the real executive. Her sup.
porters included the most prominent
men in the state, among them former
F! U. S. Senators Bailey and gilbert
son, former Postmaster General Bur
Lesson, Ex-Governor ColqCitt and 9th
er former governors. Stranger still
members of the state senate who haC
impeached her husband, and M. M
Crane, former attorney general, VIII,
prosecuted the charges against him
all joined in supporting Mrs. Fergu
son.
The laws of Texas provide that
candidate must receive a majority o
the votes cast at the primary to nom
mate. There were nine candidates fo
the nomination for governor and n
one received majority. Judge Fell.
Robertson of Dallas received the mos
votes but Mrs. Ferguson was a clos
second. This necessitated a "runoff
primary between these two highes
contenders. Most of the other seve
candidates threw their support t
Mrs. Ferguson and her majority wa
more than $4,000 over Robertson. TIL
vote was the heaviest ever cast at an
primary or election in the state.
Both campaigns were full of thrill!
and excitement ran high. Exploitin
Mrs. FergusOn's virtues as a house
keeper and hOmemaker, her friend
Familiarity called her "Ma" Ferguson
From this he slogan 'Me for Ma" wa
developed which struck the poprla
fancy and proved to be a good vote
getter.

In this connection Harold F. Barker,

has this to say:
Poultry as it IS kept thruout the
country today is kept for its produc-
tion of eggs ana meat in so vast ma
iority of cases that those who breed for
beauty Of shape and feather represent
a very small percentage of poultry keep
ers. without doubt, virtually every one
interested in the fancy reads one, two
or three or four poultry journals; yet
the combined circulation Of all the poul-
try Journals published in this country
is approximately one-tenth as large as
the number of farms and poultry plants
which keep poultry. Ninety per cent
Of the poultry keepers of this country
never see a poultry paper, but these
poultry papers will carry your adver-
tfsement to reach a large percentage
of the breeders interested in breeding
for shape and for feathers. Yet l have
been told by poultry journal publishers,
that 80 per cent of inquiries received
from their subscribers are concerning
matters of production rather than fan

all these little incongruities and van ities are very human.
 Of course, l know the only thing that makes us show the least bit of divinity is love--love for our fellow men. l don't believe I've ever loved any one in the world, Bee, except yourself and Sam. Sam's love was an ephemeral thing, glorious while it lasted, but very short lived. There was no friendship, no real liking, back of it, while our friendship will last forever, provided you can stand my little follies and great foibles.
 Mr. and Mrs. Burke seem quite happily. l would think Mrs. Burke could be happy with him. Te IS a great big magnetic man, who has al- ways had money, and seems always good natured. They tell me he has loved her for years, and wanted to marry her as soon as her husband ran away with that other woman. 1t seems she was afraid, and wouldn't divorce her first husband for quite while for fear she would be tempt ed to marry Burke.
 Of course you know that Mir. Burke has always had a reputation for being more or less of a rounder, but 1 think he has reached the time of life when he wants to settle down.

 T shall not belong to you" the wood duck told the man. This is a free country and l can belong to whoever l like!"
 This made the man lose his tenn per and he would have thumped the wood duck right upon his wooden head. if Raggedy Ann had not caught the mans arm.

What is makin that 'scritch- scratchy' sound?" Raggedy Ann asked as she filled Walters glass with chocolate soda from the wild wood fountain,
 Its over amongst those bushes, Raggedy Ann" Walter replied.
 I'll run over and sec," Raggedy Andy said. You stay here, for it may be Mir. and Mrs. Sanky and if they catch Walter, the may take him home with them. And, as this was just what Raggedy Ann did not wish, she and the little boy stayed by the fountain while Raggedy Andy ran into the bushes.
 Come hcre' Raggedy Andy called. See this strange thing ] found." Raggedy Ann and Walter dropped their glasses of soda water and hurried 10 where Raggedy Andy stood.
 He was looking at a strange crea- turc. ~ II had a head like a duck and body like fish, it's tail form ing a handle. The creature was carved of wood and painted in bril- liant colors.
 'I never saw anything like it be- fore" Raggcdy Ann cried. "What is T 9"
 I'm a wood duck" the creature replied. And l am tangled in these vines So that I cannot get free, that is why hayS been 'scritch scratch ing about so long! It isn't bit of fun being fastened here in these vines and bushes I would rather sail about in the air"
 Do you believe the wood duck Is trying to fool us, Raggedy Ann?' | Raggedy Andy asked. Tt is carved from wood. how can it possibly fly without wings?'
 Anyway, Raggcdy Ann said. Let us help the wood duck get free of the vine then we will let him show us how nicely he can fly"
 "Ha!" Raggedy Andy cried when he looked about the wood duck for | the vines. Do you know what, Mir. Wood Duck"
 T don't know what" the wood duck replied. What is it, Raggedy Andy"
 Why" Raggedy Andy said. You are not tangled in the wipes! Some one has tied you here with heavy twine, that's what"
 Then it was done while l was asleep" the wood duck said.
 ''Ha, ha, hal" YoI bet it was!" 2 voice in back Of our friends cried And 1 did it. Tomorrow | want tc take sail in the wood duck boat and I tied him there so he wouldn'i fly away until got ready 10 start!

The nights in camp were always delightful, for we all gathered round a log-fre after dinner and exchanged experiences of life in the open and wild places.

One of his best stories made A great impression on me by its quaint hmor.
 On his ranch in the west he had splendid type of man as foreman, whose name was "Hell-Roaring'' Bill Jones. It so happened that Jones was the sheriff of the county, and Roosevelt was his deputy sheriff. Jones was quite a local character"

 Dear Bee, you're the very best woman I have ever known, and l suppose it is because you are that kind of a woman, that I have al- ways an uncomfortable inclination to tell you all my most iconoclastic and dsmnably mischievous thoughts.
