Former bind Senator and Tulsa Oil Magnate to
 Run Of for Senate

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 30.-- Thomas P Gore, former blind Sen ator, and Charles J. Wrightsman, millionaire oil man of Tulsa, are racing neck and neck for the Demo : cratic nomination for United States Senator. They easily lead in the contest and will be the candidates in the run-off primary August 12. With 1855 precincts out of 3,338 reported the vote in yesterday s primary was:
 Wrightsman, 32,899.
 Gore, 32,818.

Murray, known to fame as the man who located a colony of farmers on a 50,000 acre tract in Bolivia. which failed, running for the Democratic nomination for Gov- ernor has nearly two to one vote over his nearest opponent, Frank Buttram. There were nine candi- dates and the returns are yet too meagre to know whether or not Murray will have to run in the run-off primary. The last of Ok lahoma's two busted Governors, Henry Johnson, made good run for the Senate nomination, and last night it was thought he might nose out either Gore or Wrights- man for the privilege of racing ill the run-off primary. This hope was dispelled with more returns today.

FISHING PROVES
 GOOD IN ALL BUT
 TWO DISTRICTS
Commissioner O'Ma alley Plans to Close Bristol
 Bay In 1885

With the exception of Bristol Bay and Kodiak Island, the Alaska sal mon fisheries industry is in good condition, it was indicated by Henry OMalley, United States Commis- sioner of Fisheries, who arrived early today on the Brant, Capt. E L. Hunter, from tour of all west ern districts. In his party were Ralston Thomas, Edward T. Fetch CT, Providence. R. l., and J. J. Un- derwood, of Washington, D. c.
 There will be no commercial fishing in Bristol Bay in 1885, if Commissioner OMalley remains at the head of the Bureau of Fish cries, or if his recommendation are followed out should he be suc- ceeded by someone else. He made that very clear.
 Shortage Not Unexpected
 The Bristol Bay pack this season was 392,000 cases, of which about 350,000 cases were red salmon. The normal pack there is slightly in excess of 100000 cases.
 The small pack this year was not unexpected. Since 1920, the five year cycle of red fish has shown a decreasing pack. This season the gear was largely restricted by the regulations of the Bureau of Fish cries, only five boats per line being allowed as compared to eight for the normal year since 1920 and IA for 1919. The run was even light CT than had been foreseen and on his arrival on the ground early this month, Commissioner O'Malley im- mediately closed down all com mercial fishing.
 If the shortage this year had been confined to Bristol Bay alone, even though much more marked than had been expected, it would not have been unaccountable. Too extensive fishing in 1925 might have been the cause. But the red run in the Karluk River on Ko- diak Island, was as much of fail- ure as that in Bristol Bay, and the 1928 escapement in Karluk River was excellent. This compli- cates the matter, and the Commis- sioner and scientists of the Bureau are not in position to assign any definite cause for the Karluk shor- tage. However, the Karluk season has several weeks to run, and fish may show up in large numbers yet. it was said.
 Closes Down Kodiak
 The pink salmon run on Kodiak Island has been a failure| No fish have shown up, and indi i.ations are not good. On this account, the Com- missioner has ordered all pink sal- mon areas in that district to be

MA" FERGUSON STARTS
 WITH SUBSTANTIAL LEAD

DALLAS, Texas, July 30.-Mrs. Miriam Ferguson has Q lead of 64,- 330 over Ross s. Sterling, who will be her opponent in the run-off primary on August 23, according to the latest count of returns from Saturdays primary election.
 Sterling made his primary cam paign on his proposal to issue bonds in the amount of S350.000 900 to reimburse certain sparsely set- tied counties for money expended on State highways and for further road building. He was the organ izer of the Humble Oil Company and sold his interest in it some years ago It is said that he re- ceived S40,000,000. He then pur- chased the Houtson Post-Dispatch, and became interested in more and better roads. He is now, through appointment from Gov Dan Moody, State Highway Commissioner.

LA JOLLA, Calf, July 30.- Browsing in the pastures of the sea in the interests of the worlds fish supply in years to come is one task confronting scientists at the Scripps Institute of Oceanology, the only research laboratory of it's kind in the world.
 The study is not so much the fish themselves, but rather the mi- mute organisms of the ocean, the plankton, on which all marine life directly or indirectly must depeno for it's existence.
 Fishermen are immediately de- pendent on the discoveries of scien- fists concerning the prevalence of scarcity of these plants, and the reason for their existence, in the opinion of Prof. w. E. Allen, one of the chief investigators.
 "The most prominent of these organisms" said Dr, Allen, "are

MUSK OXEN FOR ALASKA
 IS PLANNED
Herd of Thirty to Be Ob- tained from Greenland
 $40,OO0 Appropriated

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.- Seeking suitable cattle for the frozen areas of Alaska, the De- partment of Agriculture has placed an order for herd of 30 musk oxen.
 Experiments will be made in do- mesticating them.
 An experienced collector has been given the task to obtain the musk oxen from Greenland.
 The sum of $4O,OOO was appropri- ated at the last session of Con- gress for the purpose.
 Resembling small sized buffa- 10, the musk oxen are considered the most truly Arctic of the larger mammals. A native of North Amer ica, the oxen once existed in Alas ka, but they are now extinct.

Japanese Women Priests
 Now Allowed Long Hair

KYOTO, Japan, July 30.-Shaved heads no longer are required for priestesses of the great Nishi Hon. gan temples, centers of the Shinsu sect of Buddhism.
 Recognition of the larger part of women in religious work, especial ly evangelization, has brought the priestess the right to wear long hair and conduct certain ceremon- ies hitherto restricted to men and priests.
 Nuns, who are distinguished from priestesses, must continue to shave their heads, however, as must wom- en votaries of other denominations.
 Several Buddhist hools in which girls are prepared for the priesthood have been established recently in Japan.

FARM POPULATION DROPS, BUT OUTPUT
 CONTINUES TO GAIN
By FRANK I. WELLER GA. P. Farm Edit0r)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.- The exodus of workers from the farm to the city will increase rath- CT than diminish in the future, and yet farm production will not sui fer as result.
 That is the conclusion drawn by the American Research Foundation after survey of the shifting agri- cultural population.
 The drift of population from the farm to the city need cause the United States no concern over ag- riculture's future" the foundation says, since fewer farmers are now actually doing more work and pro- ducing greater crops"
 More widespread adoption of power machinery is given as the reason a shrinking farm popula- tion is able to maintain and even increase agricultural production.
 Between 1870 and 1929 the acre. age farmed per worker increased 48 per cent and the production in dollars per man increased 419 per cent.
 In colonial times 95 per cent of the economic producing population was farmers, yet they produced scarcely enough to feed and clothe their families. In 1920 the agricul- tural population was 30 per cent of the total, whereas today it is estimated at less than 24 per cent.
 By 1850 there probably will be 150 million people in the United States" the foundation predicts, yet they will be fed by fewer farmers than were required to feed the nations 25,O00,000 inhabitants in 1850"
 The largest single development contributing to the farmers aug mented production capacity is the increasing use of trucks, petroleum driven tractors and other power machinery
 Only 11,500 trucks were manufac- tured in 1912. In 1929 approximate ly 100000 were made and the num- Der operated on American farms is approaching the 100000 mark.

The patient fondly imagines that It Is his liver that
Is aling when In reality 1t Is his soul.
For this lethargy-this unaccountable discomfort

a hangover Of winters dullness. 1t is simply spring
fever; and anyone who imagines that spring fever
is a miner complaint is as deeply 6eluded as the man
who imagines that a spring tonic can cure It.
In the winter we live what we call normal lives
That is, we concern ourselves chiefly with work. One
day is much like another. Men go about their daily
Jobs Of earning money, and women plug away at
the never-endng task Of housekeeping. cooking. tax
ing care Of children and so on; and nobody ever has
the time or the inclination to listen to distant trump
ct calls from the other side Of the moon.
But when springtirne comes things are different.
Bright sunshine, opening leaves and warm winds
from the south have an insidious influence. They
get hold Of a man and whisper to him. quietly. that
there ought to be something more to life than the
mere round Of working and eating and sleeping.
They even Imply that the daily job Is not worth do

people. and they go about looking for some Tonic
that will snap them out Of it.
That quest is useless. The only thing 70 do Is 70
let the whole business wear off Of itself. Since we
are fairly well earth-bound we can always be de-
pended on, in time. to forget our notions OF far
horizons and enchanted coast lines.
The poet Wordsworth must have suffered from this
ailment. What did he write
The world is TOO much with us. Late and soon,
Getting and spending. we lay waste our powers.
Yes, we do-and there's no help for 1t. Spring
fever is simply a mood in which we understand that
things ought not to be this way. All we can do IS
keep plugging away and trust that in time our clarity
Of vision will leave us.
But spring tonics won't help much.
