KILLS MOTHS | til 1931, but candidates for all seats in the house and half of those in the senate will be nominated at the primary election today. Impeachment charges, based on alleged incompetence, were voted against the governor, the chief jus- tice of tho supreme court, and the president of the board of agricul- ture by a majority of thg house members last winter, but the senate dismissed the charges, holding that neither branch of the legislature has the constitutional right to con- vene itself. The house was forced to accept the senate ruling, al- though it ignored a similar deer of the supreme court and convened in a hotel in defiance of national guard troops called out by the gov- ernor. The majority of the who supported the impeuchment charges are seeking renomination. The legislature will meet in reg- ular biennial session next January The legislature took the emplo ment of Mrs. O.

ARKANSAS AGAIN HAVING FLARE-UP iNew Efort to Enact Anti Evolution Law Little Rock, Aug 7 UM—A new evolution battle is to ba fought in Arkansas this fall, Having failed to accomplish the legislation they desired through the state legislature, anti-evolu- tionists have obtained sufficient signatures for an initlative on an anti-evolution bill {p be submitted to voters of the state in the No- vember election, A. L. Rotenberry, Tittle Rock at- torney who led forces in the 1927 legislature secking to place an an- ti-evolution law on the statute books, is directing the movement. To have an initiated act submit- ted to the voters, petitions bearing the signatures of legal voters amountiag to five per cent of the total vote cast fin the last election for governor are necessary, The anti-evolution petitions have been filed with the secretary of state and advertising of the proposed act has begun.

Experts say our population Is increasing at the rate of a million a year, “Turtle-Toddling” Is New Beach Sport Fernandina, Fie, Aug. 7 (P— “Turtle toddling"—riding the back of a quarter-ton, deep sea monster —is the latest fad of beach habitues of this seaport town. It has all the thrills, if not the speed, of its kin- dred sport, broncho busting, de- votees declare. This is the season when theflsub- marine beasts come up among the sand dunes to deposit their eggs. Some are waylaid on the trip and diverted to the sport of agile bathers, The great turtles coming to the surface spend but a few hours away from their deep sea haunts, emerg- ing with the high tide, depositing 200 or 300 eggs each and then re- turning for another twelve-month period to the ocean depths. The monsters and their eges, which are prized as a culinary deli- cacy, are protccted by federal law from destruction, but the statutes do not prohibit the sport of “turtle toddling.” | | 0 ‘\)Ifiru:@mg “It’'s toastéd”™ ot plassurs = gour fshokn! © 1928 The American Tobacco Co., Manufacturers | il — r =7 mulllllll“m“"“ "m"fllllllllmmu... o “The finest cigarettes in all the world”—now they say this of Lucky Strikes.
