ELECTRIC SUNRISE
TRICKS TURKEY HENS
Birds Worked Overtime and Did
Their Spring Laying
Last Winter.

GONZALES, Tex tP-1f the tur-
key hens at the Luling farm founda-
ton could learn about the N. R. A.
they probably would go on strike.
They were "tricked' into working
overtime and accomplished their
Spring laying 1ast Winter.
Turkeys should be Matched early
in the Spring, operators of the farm
believed. but they were confronted
with a reluctance ON the part of the
hens to lay eggs. To make the hens
THUR longer days-and the egg-lay-
ing season-had arrived. electric lights
were placed in the pens and turned
on at am.
Statistics were kept on two f1ocks,
both given the same food and the
same conditions with the exception Of
the early sunrise. Fifteen days after
the experiment started the hens that
left the roost at am. began laying.
The others laid only occasionally until
warm weather arrived.
All the turkeys will do their stuff
under the lights next Winter, the farm
managers said.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 26-The State
political campaign is now well
launched, with a large field of Dem
ocrats in the race for Governor. The
leading candidates are James v. ALL
red of Wichita Falls, present attorney
general; Tom Hunter of Wichita Falls,
Charles Mcdonald of Wichita Falls,
Maury Hughes of Dallas. Clint Small
of Amarillo and Edgar Witt of Waco.
present Lieutenant Governor
With the exception of Alfred, all
have declared themselves as favoring
the repeal Of the prohibition amend
ment to the State constitution. Alfred
favors submitting the proposal to
vote Of the people, but is opposed to
placing the State in the dry column.
Drys Without Candidate.
The organized dry forces have not
yet selected a candidate or decided
whether to put one in the race. There
apparently is a general feeling. even
among some Of the more ardent pro-
hibition advocates, that with all the
surrounding States wet it would be
impractical. if not impossible to pre-
vent the sale of hard liquor in Texas
The State Is notoriously wet at this
time. Saloons selling nearly every
kind of liquor that passed over the bars
in the old days are now being oper-
ated openly in all the cities and towns
Of the State. The bottled goods bear
revenue stamps complying with Fed
eral laws. Local authorities so far
have given their tacit consent to these
violations Of the State constitution
and law 1t is we'll assured that the
Legislature at its next session, in
January, 1885. will not only submit to
a vote Of the people the repeal of the
State prohibition amendment. but also
will repeal the law on the subject.
"Fergusonism" in Contest.
The time-worn issue of Ferguson
ism" has entered the contest, with
former Gov. Jim Ferguson actively
supporting Mcdonald and announcing
that he will take the stump for him.
McDonalds platform is a reiteration
of all the Ferguson policies. including
those Of Gov. Miriam A. Ferguson.
The other candidates for Governor
declare that to elect Mcdonald would
mean perpetuation of the house of
Ferguson in the administration.
Alfred. because of his prosecution of
antitrust suits against major oi! COM
panies, is generally regarded as a DO
litical foe of corporation interests. All
candidates have pledged support of
President Roosevelt's recovery pro-
gram.
To raise money for the expenses of
government, a chain store tax Is ia
vored by Alfred; a chain store and
luxury tax by Hunter, an intangible
assets tax on monopolies and a nat
ural resources tax by Mcdonald, an
income tax by Small and now new
taxes by Witt.

BALTIMORE. May 26.-The State

Nation to Its 3O0th birthday ami
versary party.
"The Maryland Tercentenary
Commission requests the honor of
your presence at the three
hundredth anniversary
of
The Founding of Maryland

and Saturday, June the sixteenth"
Fifteen hundred of these invita-
tions were sent to Governors. State
ohcials and patriotic organizs tions.
while some were sent as far as Eng
land. Many Prominent persons
throughout the country were on the
list of recipients.
At the same time, r. Bennett Dar-
nall, chairman of the Tercentenary
Commission, announced he had re-
ceived word from Gov. Albert C.
Ritchie that Saturday, June 16, would
be proclaimed a legal Maryland holi-
day.

oncias, would bring no less than
$4,000 persons to the celebration. Eat

as well as State police, say they are
getting ready to handle that number

In the meanwhile, throughout the

While the State contemplated its
3OOth birthday anniversary, q weather
eye was directed to happenings of
more recent bearing, primarily poll
tics. Gov. Albert c. Ritchies de-
cision to seek the Democratic nomi-
nation in September, thus making him
a candidate for fifth term. was caus-
ing much comment and diversity of
opinion in the Democratic camp.
Much Of the comment centered on
Mayor Howard w. jackson of Balti-
more. who also seeks the nomination.
Many Democrats argued that a split
in the Democratic ranks might mean
a Republican victory.

LAFAYETTE HOLDS
MARYLAND HONOR
Was First to Be Given Hon.
orary Degree by State
University.

BALTIMORE, May 26-The Mar
quis Lafayette. of Revolutionary War
fame, was one of the forerunners in
the American custom of getting an
honorary college degree, it is shown in
old Baltimore newspapers found by
the American friends of Lafayette.
1t was ITO years ago October 9, that
the degree was bestowed by the Uni
versity of Maryland. 1t was that
schools first honorary degree of law to
be awarded.
The citizens Of old Baltimore were
in state of excitement. Lafayette,
who had become the Nations idol due
to his participation with George
Washington in the war against Eng
land, had just arrived in the city
while on a triumphal tour of the Ma
ton. 1t was then some 40 years after
the war.
Papers Heralded Coming.
The day he arrived, the Federal
Gazette and Baltimore Daily Adver-
tiser announced:
'The regents of the University of
Maryland (have) resolved unanimous
ly to confer on Gen. Lafayette the
honorary degree of doctor of laws"
"A committee of gentlemen" well
known for their scholastic fame, was
named Ito invite him to the univer-
sity for that purpose"
Accordingly, the committee, headed
by United States Senator Alexander
Contee Hanson, delivered an address
where business men of the city met.
With Senator Hanson were Col. John
Eager Howard and Bishop James
Kemp.
Senator Hanson greeted the general
with flow Of oratory. the second
sentence of which ran 20 full lines in
a newspaper. 1t reviewed the Revolu-
ton, called the general many fine
names, touched his friendship with
Washington and scared away to call
America political model
Final Chapter Scanty.
After other learned observances, the
Senator asked the general to receive
an honorary degree and was happily
rewarded with the expression that he
(the generaD would appoint a time
agreeable to the professors of the in
stitution for his visit and would, in
the bosom Of the university, ex-
press his affectionate and respectful
thanks"
Although the papers were a bit
scanty in their descriptions of the
actual presentation, the American and
Commercial Advertiser reported "the
arrangements made by the members
of the institution were worthy of the
occasion. . ."
There is recorded, though, that the
diploma was written on parchment in
the most elegant style and
was accompanied with a handsome
silver box to inclose it."
The general, according to the an
mails, returned a most pertinent and
feeling answer"
