COOLEST Ever DEPEW
Chauncey Declares G. o. p. Convcn-
ton Chillicst-Inside and Out.

Chicago, June 6.-"This is the cold
est convention-inside and out-I've
ever known" remarked ex-senator
Chauncey NJ. Depew. at the conclusion
of Harding's speech as he sat SILVER
ing.
I've got the convention habit-hav-
ing been in attendance at every one
since 1850, but there never was one
quite like this. / must say, though,
that it is certainly a fine tribute to
Senator Harding that his admirable
speech, SO admirably constructed and
SO admirably delivered, served mater
tally to make up great deal for lack
of a heating system. I never saw a
temporary chairman get away with d
difficult job so successfully

visitors, read yesterday afternoon, call
ed attention to the imperative need of
the university for more money. 1.-The

a thousand since any new buildings

mons for students, disbursement OF
professionalism in high schools, and
legislative action making available the

THE calf when born has two pairs

during the first month When a calf Is
eighteen months old, IL loses the mid.

tsirty-six months, the fourth or out
side pair ut fory.five months. The
time af appearance OF these incisors
varies within rather narrow limits, so
that We are able 70 tell the age Of
young cattle fairly accurately.
The calf also has a temporary set
OF nsalars which are later replaced
with permanent ones. but they are
