WILSON MAKES
NEW PROPOSAL
PRESIDENT IS STILL TRYING TO
ADJUST DIFFERENCES WITH
RAILROADS. AND EMPLOYEES
TO CONFER TO-DAY
The Railway Presidents Were Called
to the White House Today for
Another COnference-WilsOn
May Appeal to Congress.

WASHINGTON, Rug. 2S.-Presi-
dent Wilson today presented new
proposals to the railway presidents
by which he hopes to avert final
break between the roads and the
brotherhoods and prevent the threat
ened industrial crisis.
This new plan. it became known
today, resulted In deferring the
presidents conference with the rail-
way executives at the White House.
scheduled for ten o'clock. II IS
likely that this conference will be
deferred beyond the new hour, 2:3o.
II his present efforts fail President
Wilson will appeal to the present
congress and IL possible obtain the
passage of two laws designed TO
avert the strike and prevent the re-
currence of such a situation.
President Wilson stands pat on MS
demand for the concession by the
railways of the principle of the eight
hour day. He is willing for suffi-
cient time TO elapse before putting
il into effect to enable a commission
of five men to investigate and work
out all details regarding the appli-
cation of the shorter hour day to
railway operations-a year If nee
essary.
From the first the president has
been insistent upon the eight-honr
day, but his new proposal to the
executives is 10 allow them. all the
time necessary TO an investigation
of the shorter day to railway opera
tions.
Thus far the roads have not ac-
cepted this or any of the other score
OF suggestions submitted TO them
Thus it appears probable that the
railways will not yield to today Z

By a vote of almost two TO one

to get the vote given him in the
July primary while Culberson almost
doubled his vote.
Returns came in rapidly Satur-
day night and the Daily Light bulle-
tin board kept the voters advised of
the results both in the county and in
the state. 1t was known by 8 O'Clock
that the run-off primary had result
ed in a landslide for Culberson. At
first the Culquitt men kept hope
alive by waiting for returns from
south Texas, but when Bexar county
gave Culberson a good majority all
hope vanished and supporters of Col
qpitt slipped away to nurse the sores
of defeat in privacy Although the
campaign has been bitter one per-

defeat gracefully while the Cuiber-

The vote in the county was as fol-
lcws:

In the second primary Mr. Col
quit received 60 per cent of the
vote of these counties and Culber-
son 38 per cent. The number of
votes received by Colquitt in the
second primary in these counties was
equal TO so per cent of his vote in
the first primary, and the number of
votes receiced by Culberson in these
counties in the second primary was
equal to 54 per cent of all votes cast
against Mr. Colquitt in the first pri-
mary.
Counties Where Colquitt Lost.
OF the eighteen counties above
mentioned, Mr.. Colquitt did not hold
his proportionate share in the sec
lond primary in the following:
In the first primary he received
I5,673 votes out of a total of l0,S45
in Bexar county, but in the second
primary he received only 1,764 rs

Late incomplete returns from the primary election

Rumania's entrance into the war
places u thoroughly drilled and
equipped army Of nearly Go0.00o
men alongside the fllies.
As to the actual fighting value

known as 1t has never been put to
the test. During the two recent
Balkan wars Rumanin. OF all the
Balkan states. alone kept out OF tho
war.
The organization and equipment
or the army has been appraised BY
many military experts. In Rumanta
military service Is obligatory on all
able bodied men between the ages OF
81 and 40. This gives the country
$4,000 new soldiers every year and
enables Rumania, out OF popular
tion OF seven million. to muster an
army of over half million mon.
During the first seven years Of their
military service tho men belong 10

liable for service only to maintain
Internal order and TO protect rail-
ways In case OF strikes.
This organization gives Rumania
a total OF 100000 first line men
and about 100000 reserves. Tho
regular standing army coslsists Of
5000 officers. 100 military students.
5000 troops, $4,000 horses. 600
cannon and 600 machine guns. Part
of this army Ii now mobilized near

Rumanias chief reason for enter

trian provinces, Transylvania and
Dukowina. inhabited largely by Ru-
manIans. While all the Balkan
states are interested In obtaining
land on the Balkan peninsula. Ru-
mania's aspirations lie nearer home.
Still another factor is the fact that

Latin origin. and racial pride is one
of their strong characteristics.

A Ripe Old Ace.

The London Gazette, the most aus
tero snd formal of all English newspa-
pers, Is celebrating it's two hundred
and f1ftieth birthday.
The vast majority of Londoners have
never seen the Gazette, and many live
in ignorance even of the existence of
such a newspaper. For it is the Off
cial organ of the British government,
and it's circulation is limited to official
circles or to those who are willing to
pay the fixed price of 25 cents copy
In the ordinary course of events the
Gazette is published every Tuesday
and Friday, but when occasion arises
special supplements are issued at 8
cents each. Since the outbreak OF
the war several of these supplements
have been issued each week, and there
has occasionally been sufficient de-
mand from relatives of those men
toned in the official dispatches to
cause the reprinting of particular
edition.

in the case Of whip grating, or
splice grating, as it is sometimes
called, the scions are cut late in the
tall or very early in the spring from
healthy growing wood, the same as
for cleft grating. The scions should
hot be cut when they are frozen, and
II not cut until March should be ex-
am1ned to make sure that none are
blackened or injured by winter freez-
ing, Use no soft wood or green, i'm
mature growth for scions.
Sc1onS are cut five or six inches
long and kept in a cool, moist place
until grating is done. IF grated to
root stock, the work can be done early
in the cellar and the planting done
when the season is farther advanced
1t is better if the stock is of the same
size as the scion, but if of slightly diff
ferent size, one side should be matched
carefully, the inner bark of scion and
stock coming together. If both are of
the same size the inner bark will
come together and unite better all
around the cut. The graft is planted
so that the first bud is just above
ground
When ready for grating, smooth
cuts are made diagonally across both
scion and stock, and a tongue and
groove or notch made as shown in the
cut. The union is then made with
care, and the graftage held in place
by strong thread or Irvine and a pro-
lection of wax or waxed cloth put
around it. Root CRAFTS are planted
with no protection about the splice, it
being simply held in place by Irvine or
thread.
When root grating is done in the
winter, the CRAFTS should be packed in
moist sand or sawdust and kept from
drying out, but not disturbed until
time to plant in the spring, as they
will have begun to callus and to unite
IN some degree. 1t is well to handle
them carefully. Two Or three buds
hre enough to leave on the scion,
which can be cut back later, as de-
sired. The only tool required for whip
grating is a sharp, thin-bladed knife
1t is well to disinfect all wounds and
pruning tools.

ANIMALS MUST BE
KEPT COMFORTABLE
Animal Is Finely Adjusted, Com
plIeated Organism Requiring
Closest Attention.

The dairy cow is finely adjusted,
complicated organism that is subject
to considerable degree to external in
huences. The highest production of
butterfat is produced when the cow is
in comfortable quarters. and the body
tissues are normal. These facts are
present usually during the opening of
the summer when the grass is in good
condition. At that time the tempera-
ture is just about right and there is an
absence of flies and vermin, which
tend to irritate the cow In conjunction
with this the grass is most palatable
all of which contribute toward con-
tentmcnt in the dairy COW, and as a
reward she produces very large flow
of milk.
During the winter conditions are
usually the reve.-e and abnormal con-
ditions are brought about. Then an ar
tificial temperature is required to
maintain the bodily heat and keep the
cow comfortable. When the cow is
turned out to shiver in the cold, con-
siderable combustion is required in
the body to maintain the animals tenn
perature.
Ii a COW is in warm quarters she will
have this food supply available, and
she will produce a great
er amount of butterfat. 1t is also pos
sible to feed more economically in the
barn, and there is less turmoil to an
noy the animals when they are COM
fortably housed and in stalls, than
when they are turned out at night
The dairy cow can eat hay at leisure
and will not be required to expend en-
ergy in self-preseryation, which en-
ergy should be devoted to the produc-
ton of milk.

blossoms for fiavoring. A delicious Or

Sandwiches are made with nastur-
