CRANKS IN MEET
All Kinds of ssNuts" Attend
First Annual Convention.
Sleep on Hay and Follow Pri-
mevaI Customs.

Sunland, Cal. Sept 2.-The queer
est people in the world gathered here
today to indulge in the first "Cranks'
convention" ever held.
Delegates were called to order by
DIR. Leroy H. Fry of Los Angeles, who
organized the conclave. Every crank
Will be given a chance to address the
assemblage of queer delegates on
that particular theory or subject that
has made a crang of him.
Scores of automobile parties motor
ed out from Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena to sit back as spectators, and
hear the funny people talk.
The convention will last several
days. No limit has been set. Accom-
modations were furnished by good
people of Sunland and Little Landers,
two communities founded on idealistic
principles.
Beneath the deep blue heavens and
stars on a generous shOk of yellow hay
the delegates will pass the night. The
delegates will furnish their own fare
and for those who failed to bring
along provender, inhabitants of this
narrow mountain valley will furnish
nuts harvested from the wild iron nut
tree which abounds in the velley.
Some of the more blase of the spec
tatOrs even went so far as to refer to
this place as Sunny Nutland.'
Idealists, fatalists, religionists and
infidelS attended in goOdly number.

GOODBYE JITNEY
LOAF; TOO SMALL
TO BE PRACTICAL

Memphis, Tenn. Sept. as F. Nc
Donald, president of the National As
ISOLATION of Master Bakers, in a state
ment issued here today, urged the
adoption by housewives of the country
of the 10-cent loaf of bread as mat
ter of economy. He called attention
to a resolution passed at the recent
bakers convention held in Salt Lake
City to abandon the making of the s.
cent loaf and make the 10-cent loaf
the unit of bakers bread.
Mr. Mcdonald claimed this resolu-
ton had been widely misconstrued into
meaning that the baker intended to
charge 10 cents for the scent loaf
The scent loaf, he said, was impos-
sible because of the high cost of flour
and the labor connected with its pro-
ductiOn.

It is often said that constipation
kills by inches. This is true, because
its results are so slowly manifested
that they are not apparent Constipa-
ton means the re-absorption of eff
fete matter and the poisoning of the
entire system, producing appendicitis,
stomach and intestinal troubles 1t
can be truly said that constipation is
directly the cause of most of our ais.
IL is a condition which may easily be
overcome.

'.Scare" Over Rumania Getting Into
War Bound to Have Reaction.

Chicago. Sept. 2.-Severe shrinkage
in the value of wheat has given I'M
usual interest to board of trade oper-
atoms in the last week. Highest prices
on the crop have just been attained
but have been sharply curtailed owing
chiefly to Rumania's entrance into the
war and because of the blighting eff
feet of the threatened railroad strike.
Attention to the dramatic action of
Rumania was responsible for the big
sest part of the setback in wheat
prices, for at first the trade here
seemed to consider that the opening
Of the Dardanelles would soon result
and that large Russian supplies for
western Europe would be forthcoming.
such a view, however, did not appear
to prevail across the Atlantic and the
markets on this side of the ocean

seemed to be in fair way to recover
to a large extent from the bearIsh in
fluence of the scare about Rumania.
Then the railway strike situation
became acute and with the advent of
embargo notices by nearly all of the
principal lines the price of wheat
went lower than had been the case
in the face of a supposed imminent
flood of wheat from Russia. Optim-
ism on Thursday as to a settlement of
the strike gave way yesterday to a re-
newal of uncertainty as to the out
come of Washington's attempt to
avert a general tieup.
Change in the value of corn, oats
and provisions followed in the main,
the fluctuations of wheat. The re-
sulting differences though were rela-

CHILD LABOR BILL ATTACK

SAAAAA AI1DVA D11d hA HO1A Senator Hardvick of Georgia Claims
 It Is Unconstitutional and Situation
 Requires Action by States.
 Washington, Aug. An attack on the constitutionality of the child labor bill was made by Senator Hardwick of Georgia, when debate on the measure begun in the senate yestrday. was re- sumed today. Senator Hardwick con- tended that the right to enact such legislation was vested only in the states. The Georgia senator also pointed out that the senate bill, i1l his judgment, far exceeds the limits set down by congress and the supreme court in the lottery statute which pro- ponents of the measure set up in de :, fense of it's constitutionality and after which 1t was patterned.
 "I do not wish to be understood in this matter" said he, "I am as thor oughly, as earnestly sincere in favor of enactment of just, reasonable, hu- man and God-like laws for protection of children as any man in this cham Der, but I say that the sole power to enact such laws is vested in the sev~ eral states of the union and not in congress-"
 Senator Hardwick declared no pow erful lobby of south ern manufacturers was working in Washington against the bill, but that a powerful lobby hau been working here in it's favor for years He charged both political par ties with playing to political experi- ency'' with it.
