ginning of the present term of Presi-

sicularly with the work of Congress
End is now being distributed to those
svho are called upon to write and
speak in behalf of the Republican
cause"
Z In a letter accompanying the first
pamphlet Chairman Butler says, THE
record Of the Republican Party is its
best assurance of future achievement,
its strongest appeal for public APP
proval."
Z Attention is called in the first
pamphlet to the laws enacted by the
Republican Congress improving the
banking law. with particular relation
to branch banking; creating Federal
Radio Commission, recognizing the
prohibition enforcement, improving
Fivers and harbors, extending the pro-
visions of the workmen's compensa-
tion act to maritime workers. and
many others. Particular mention is
made Of legislation to aid the farmer,
Including the cooperative marketing
law and laws increasing the credit
facilities of the farmers.
: Several pages are devoted to praise
Of the Congress Of the United States
as a legislative body. The Re-
publican national committee, instead
of criticizing Congress, gives that
body great boost. The final para
graphs of the pamphlet quote an adj
dress to the Senate delivered by Presi-
dent Coolidge as Vice President in

Mr. Mackey called several witnesses
to the stand to show that the English
company through passed performances
lad proven it was responsible; that 1t
had good financial rating and that it
could give the county full protection
in the matter of bond. He said the
award was made on mere statement
of Mr.. Phillips, based on hearsay and
not on facts. He contended the Eng
fish company had the capacity for
giving entire satisfaction on the work
and that the county should take adj
vantage of the saving of $3.50, the
difference between the two bids.
John S. Barbour. attorney for Mr..
Phillips, contended that there was
nothing on the statute books of Vir-
ginia compelling the board Of super
visors to accept the lowest bid: that
the board was responsible to the law
and the law gives it the authority to
reject any or all bids. and that the
English company had no judicial
standing in the matter. He said his
clients recommendation was based on
confidential information and that he
was still of the opinion that the recon-

Biologist Backs Lobster.

The man who knows more about
Holsters and how to raise them than
any other man in the world is Ernest
w. Barnes, biologist from Brown
University. He can beat nature at
this job, for II she is left to her own
devices she raises only one lobster
in every thousand, while Mr.. Barnes
saves 70 out of every thousand, says
the American Magazine.
HOLSTERS are hard to raise even
under the best conditions. During the
first three stages of their development
they can do little more than float with
the water currents and they are de-
voured by preying fish. Moreover, the
young lobster Is a cannibal, and feeds
on his own species.
