Rucker of Missouri. author of the presidential primary bill recently introduced into congress, is chairman of the house committee on election of president, vice president and representatives in congress. In his message to congress on the subject President Wilson said: “I urge the prompt enactment of legis lation which will provide for primary elections throughout the country at which the voters of the several parties may choose their nominees' for the presidency without the intervention of nominating conventions. I venture the suggestion that this legislation should provide for the retention of party con ventions, but only for the purpose of declaring and accepting the verdict of the primaries and formulating the platforms.” Mr. Rucker's bill is based on the president's suggestions. A native of Virginia, Congressman Rucker’s boyhood was spent in West Virginia, to which state his parents had moved on the breaking out of the civil war. At the age of eighteen he went to Chariton county, Mo., took up the study of law and was admitted to the bar. In 18SG he was elected prose cuting attorney of Chariton county, holding that office until 1892, when he was chosen circuit judge. In 1898 he was elected to the Fifty-sixth congress and has since been regularly returned. Director of the Mint. George Evan Roberts of Fort Dodge. la., who has been mentioned as a possible member of the federal re serve board, was appointed director of the mint in 1898 and is famous as the author of several books on financial and economic questions. He first won attention in the monetary world with his book. “Coin at School In Finance,” written in answer to “Coin” Harvey’s arguments. This was during the mem orable free silver campaign in 1890. In 1907 Mr. Roberts resigned as direc- i tor of the mint to become president h J - IBBr. ; GEORGE E. ROBERTS. of the Commercial National bank of Chicago. In 1910 he was reappointed to his present position. Mr. Roberts is a native of lowa, fifty-seven years of age, and began his business career as a printer's appren tice. In a few years he became owner of the Fort Dodge Messenger. He owns it yet in partnership with his brother. He retains his interest in his paper as a matter of sentiment, he said recently. Mr. Roberts is of W elsh descent. His father was a potter and emigrated from New York to lowa, sailing down the Atlantic coast into the gulf of Mexico and thence up the Mississippi. Director Roberts has never been active in politics in the \ sense of office seeking, although he was state printer of lowa in 1882. As an editor, however, he wielded a large influence in political affairs of the state of lowa. Opposed to Athletic*. Lafayette college under President E. D.

The late Eugene Field while on one of his lecturing tours entered Philadelphia. There was some delay m the bridge over the Schuylkill river, and the humorist's attention was attracted by the turbid, eoffee colored stream flowing underneath, lie asked the colored porter: “Don’t you people get your drinking water from this stream?’’ “Yassir! Ain’t got no yuther place to git it from, ’cept th’ Dela weah. Yas-sir!” “I should think,” said the humor ist. “that you would be afraid to drink such water; especially as the seepage from that cemetery I see on the hill must drain directly into the river and pollute it.” “I reckon yo’ all doan’ know Phil adelphy ve’y well, sah, aw you’d know dat’s Lau’el Hill cemetery!” said the son of Ham. “Well, what of that?” asked Field. “Dat wattah doan’ hu’t us Phila delphians none, sah,” replied the na tive son. “W’y mos’ all of de folkses bu’ied theah aw f'om ouah ve’y best fam’lies !”■ —Pathfinder. SUCCESSFUL TRAP FOR PESTS New Invention Said to Lure Mosqui toes to Their Doom in Manner Highly Desirable. Some one has invented a night trap for mosquitoes which, according to Chambers’ Journal, has proved successful under exacting tests. The contrivance depends on the use of the luminous paint that Dr. Balmain invented some years ago. In this paint there is no phosphor ous. The mosquito trap is a short glass cylinder, about six inches in length and one inch in diameter. The interior surface of it is coated with Balmain compound, and the ends are sealed. On the outer sur face of the glass there is a coat of adhesive substance like that on or dinary fly and the tube hangs by a string in any convenient place. Exposure to daylight causes the Balmain paint to collect and store up sunlight, which it throws off at night. The faint, steady glow at tracts the insects, and as there is no heat about the light the mosquitoes settle upon the glass and are caught by the adhesive. When it is necessary to clean the trap you take a piece of wood —a match will do—and scrape off the in sects and then apply a fresh coating of the adhesive. WATER HAUL. “Good morning, ma’am. May I ask if your husband is at home ?” “He isn’t.” “Perhaps you can tell me what I want to know. Is he carrying any life insurance?” “Is his life insured ? Is that what you mean?” “Yes, ma’am.” “It is, sir. But don’t make the mistake of thinking he’s doing the carrying of the same. I’m doing that myself. And I’m carrying all he’s worth.

Anderson, of Savannah, Announces Candidacy In Race for Governor a '" * ; ' ■ "* ■ * xv \ V V-—'- ■ ■ ’ c* ■■ ■ * ■. . L--' ’ I- ’ .WWhtel. ' “ I .4 ’ -,w- ■ : r ‘ ft a —Photo by Hirshburg <fc Phillips. Atlanta J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, Candidate for Governor. Since announcing his candidacy for governor, J. Randolph Anderson of Sa vannah, has received the most encour aging assurances of support from prac tically every section of the state. Mr. Anderson’s candidacy has met with enthusiastic reception in North Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma rietta, upon which he spends much of his time, as well as in the Southern section where he lives. If early indi cations in the campaign mean any thing, Mr. Anderson already seems to be running a winning race. Many of the newspapers of the state are already actively supporting him and others have volunteered to do so. MR. ANDERSON’S ANNOUNCEMENT. In his formal announcement- of his candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson says: “Savannah, Ga., April 15, 1914. “To the People of Georgia: “I beg leave to announce myself as a candidate for the Governorship, subject to the regulations of the next general primary. "In asking to be entrusted with what I consider to be the highest honor in the gift of our people, I am glad to feel that my candidacy involves no factional issues and should arouse no factional spirit. The spirit of fac tionalism has happily about died away in Georgia, and in the state, as in the nation, we Democrats are lined up with practically unbroken ranks in support of the great measures our party is taking for the common good. I am able therefore to come before you simply as a Georgian and a Democrat, who aspires to devote his best ener gies and talents to the welfare, and upbuilding of his native state. “Our material growth during the past three decades has been so rapid and so great that in some respects we have outgrown the provisions made by our laws, and in conse quence the state and its institutions are in some directions being ham pered and held back. Georgia’s great need today is that her people should have a period of political rest in which to have the time and oppor tunity to concentrate their attention and efforts upon a thorough over hauling and readjustment of her busi ness methods and system. We need to apply ourselves for a time to put ting our house and affairs in order, sis ajlshii’t Oysters tPWW Mr,~, I »IiJS£JDnM»K!S«MI A i ,il I IMIH 111 I T I •n* a* cUid Fresh HOME MADE LARD The Best of Everything!

Let us now for a while de vote ourselves to measures for bringing the sunshine of prosperity to all the various business activities of the state and into the homes and lives of her individual citizens. I will endeavor to invite your atten tion to these matters more in detail during the progress of the campaign. My long service in the house and senate, since 1905, has made me famil iar with the affairs and needs of the state and has qualified me to be of service to you as Governor. “Circumstances have arisen under which, by operation of law, the duty may be devolved upon me of serving as Acting Governor for some part of the current term. This would re-, quire me to leave my home and sur-' render my profession and all business connections. Such a contingency nat urally prompts me to seek election for the next regular term and give me, I trust, some personal claim t ask for it, so that I may at least H | allowed to remain in office long enoug I to be given a fair trial both as to nj j desire and as to my ability to ser* « you well. PROHIBITION QUESTION I ALREADY SETTLED. “Some inquiry has been made as to how far the prohibition question may be involved in my candidacy. I wish to state that it is not involved at all. Prohibition should no longer be con sidered a political issue in Georgia. It has become a matter of established law, and I think most of the prohibi tion leaders now agree that the law is sufficient and that continued political agitation of the subject is no longer needed, and would be unwise. No sub stantial demand exists anywhere in Georgia for its repeal, and It should be regarded as an issue that Is now settled and behind us. “If I am elected, it will be my duty to regard and treat the prohibition law as one of the settled, established laws of the state, and in this, as in all other matters, I will try to die charge my duty faithfully, fearlessly and fully. “J.

In a letter from her at this time she says: “Through the use of Peruna I have regained my health. I took only a bottle and a half when I was able to sleep and eat again and my nervousness disap peared.” No wonder Mrs. Mueller keeps Peruna in the house.
