Judge Brandon Sweeping All Alabama Counties BIRMINGHAM, Ale., Aug. 9. Incomplete returns Jrora yester day's primary, tonight indicated that Judge W. W. Brandon swept all counties in the state with the exception of Randolph, where Colonel N. B. Graves received a heavy vote. Charles S. McDowell for lieutenant governor, received practically the Brandon vote, car rying every county In the state so far. with the exception of Butler. The Henry Ford Muscle Shoals Issue was believed to have been reflected in the substantial lead for public service commissioner held by Fitzhugh Lee and Frank P.Morgan.

Hope he reads the signs aright. V First car of pears . started to rolling tpwards Salem yesterday beaded to the Hunt cannery here. From North Yakima, With this cannery able to put out 120. 000 cars of pears a day, and all the rest of the fruit factories -working on pears, Salem wUI be the true pear city in a very short time. Is V Jimmy Culver, county road master, Is mighty busy these days on the program to give old Mar ion the best paved market 'road system of any county in Oregon. The Rickey road is done. Next will come the finish of the stretch near - the reform school. . Then the Garden road will get another mile, of paving. , And so it goes, all over the country Two more years of It, after tbla year, on the present program. And then it will never stop. The people will never let it atop. H li It is pretty well understood that there will be no hiatus at all in the Pacific highway through Salem.' Hope It , may be hurried through before' fair week. V There will be no hall in the growth of the fruit industry In the Salem district. But it will go ahead on solider and more in telligent lines; better selection of kinds and better selection of vari eties. And better methods gen; erally. The pioneering stage Is passing. One may be more sure of success, in the fruit Industry here' now than at any time in the past If he will use his eyes, and his head and his hands. mmm where the swamp-auger, was bor ing." f THE SHORT STORY, JR. ? .......
