An outstanding feature of the CO.
chise county fair is the House Beau
t.ful exhibit, conducted under tn"
auspices of the Domestic Science de-
partment and supervision of Mrs. F.
T. Wright. The primary purpose OF
this exhibit is to encourage the maxi
ing Of useful and attractive articles
at home and at little cost. Not only
are the articles in this exhibit eX-
tremely pretty and interesting but they
show the remarkable ingenuity o.
men, women and children in making
various articles for household use.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the exhibit is the mousse
Formerly an old army house, snaopy
and forlorn in appearance, 1t has
been transformed INTO sn:ng or
beauty by the remarkable furniture
and decorations placed in it, The
fdea for this exhibit Was suSScsteu
during the display of the Home Beau
tiful house in Douglas a few wcexs
ago. Many persons remarked on the
exquisite beauty of this rouse ano
:ts furnishings, but remarked that It
was home for wealthy people.
"The idea of this exhibit is to DEM
onstrate that wealth is not neccs-
sarily required to make a home oeau
tiful,'' Mrs. Wright, chairman of the
exhibit, states. Rather, it is ques-
ton of making the most of the mas
terials at hand. Some of the most
beautiful things in this exhibit cosl
very little They represent ingen-
uity, hard work and love for what
is beautiful in the home
First prize of $40 in the Home
Beautiful exhibit went to Mrs. A. w.
Wilson, of Wilcox, on a beautiful
choise Tongue constructed from set
of old autonHobile springs
that cost nothing, board picked up
in the back yard at her nome, ano
two old curtains that had outgr@wn
their usefulness. This piece of FUR
niture~ is beautiful and artistic enough,
TO grace any home, yet cost practi-
cally nothing.
Second prize of SIS went to Jach
Pearce, of Warren, on his exhibit or
a beautiful brass electric lamp stand,
Il brass bird cage stand and two beau
tlful and artistic brass candlesticks.
The bases of the lamp stanc ana the

The manner in which this piece oil

make it an outstanding p;ece oS
work.
Fourth prize of So in this eXAibi,
went to Doris Flieshman, 10-year-old
girl Of McNeal, on a beautirul anc
artistic dressing table made by mere
ly inverting the top of an old dresser,
using the two arms as legs and ado
ing two more, inserting a drawer anu
finishing it up by adding looking
glass. The ingenuity OF this lITtll
girl in seeing the possibilities of. in-
verting the discarded dresser top ana
making it into a piece Of useful and
beautiful furniture drew the attention
of everyone who saw tho exhibit.
Fifth prize of 50 in this CONFESS

Although many of his auditors were

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 1.-Former Gov
ernor james f. Ferguson today denied
a story carried in the Dallas News Sun
day that Ben ]. Flood Of Dallas had
been asked to conduct his campaign for
governor The former did not indicate
in his statement whether he would be
a candidate, but said if he decided to
run for governor he would give out his
own sinterviews.
When asked about the interview APP
pearing in the Dallas News purporting
to come from Mr.. Flood, in which he is
quoted as saying that he had been asked
to manage Ferguson's campaign for gov
ernor, the former governor said:
Next to the monstrous statement ap-
pearing in today's Dallas News that E.

tunes of Hogg. Culberson, Sayers and
Lanham (former govcrnors) is the
ridiculous statement Of the Dallas News
that | had asked Ben Flood to manage
my campaign for governor. / have not

months and have had no communication
with him and should ] take a notion
to run for governor | will give out my
own interviews.
''The prejudice existing in the edi-
torial rooms Of the Dallas News for a
long time against me seems to be en-
croaching upon the news columns Of the
paper and they have lately grosslv mis-
represented for purposes which | sup
pose are satisfactory to themselves. One
instance is that recently my name was
brought into the highway litigation at
Austin and / issued statement in de-
nial of the charge that has been made
against me and full text Of my state
ment was given to the Dallas News re-
porter in ample time and they deliber-
ately suppressed said statement, all
though it was carried in other papers.
Now to add insult to injury they 60 and
make statement about me ruuing for
governor and the management Of my
campaign when they could have found
out the truth Of the whole matter by
asking me direct.

my friends may not be surprised at fu-
ture performances Of the Dallas News
