Says Miller in Naming Dupont
for President.
Moved Up From Mine Worker
to Munitions Magnate.
SMELL OF POWDER HONORABLE
Same Odor Needed for Repub-
lie to the South.
Delaware Man Is Called Bush
ness Mans Candidate.

Chicago, June 9.-In naming Cole
man Dupont of Delaware for presi-
Dental nominee before the Republic
can national convention Congressman
Thomas w. Miller of Delaware said:
1T is one of the men who have done
much to bring fame and honor to my
state whom we present to this conven-
ton today. In 1863, this gentleman
was born in the state of Kentucky.
The silver spoon was not numbered
among his playthings. Our candi-
date commenced life as mine worker
in the state of Kentucky. By thirty
years of age he had become the super
intendent of the mine in which he
had started work as a laborer. His
interest in the betterment of the civic
and industrial conditions in the min
ing camps while of benefit to the en-
ployers due to increased efficiency,
was in reality done to increase the
welfare of the workers. who were first
in his heart for he had been one of
them.
Smells of Powder.
In 1893 the state of Pennsylvania
claimed him and within that state for
several years he devoted his construc-
tive genius to the upbuilding of vari-
Gus public service corporations.
They say he smells of powder If
so it is the same odor that the British
smelt to their discontinue at Lake
Erie in the war of 1912, when the
ammunition that Perry used to ami
h1late the British fleet was hauled
from Delaware by wagon trains. 1t
was the same odor that the republic to
the south felt in 1916 and had they
been given the same dos1 in the past
three years, either by means of inter-
Vention or as a border tonic, we would
not now be in the position we are to-
day, not only with that republic, but
with the world at large as it relates
to the Mexican policy of the present
administration
AT the outbreak of the great war
in Europe he separated himself en-
tlreIy from the powder business and
since that date he has erected in the
city OF New York another monument
to his executive and constructive
genius the largest building in the
world, an accomplishment worthy of
man of big calibre.
Explosive Force of T. r.
He has the domesticity and kindli-
ness of the late lamented William Nc
kinley; he has the energy and explo-
sive force of Theodore Roosevelt and
calm deliberate judgment of William
Howard Taft. His record in the bust
ness world stamps him as business
mans candidate. AS representative
of the working men he is an ideal
candidate because he too has been a
toiler-not a spoiler.

this convention the name of Coleman
Dupont, native of Kentucky and now
an honored son of Delaware, for the
office of president of the United

WILL HOLD DEMONSTRATION.
Orchard Pruning and Spraying DEM
Onstration Will be Held i'm
DEBORAH, March 16.

There will be held in Mr.. John
Harter's orchard at 900 Pleasant
Ave. on the | 9Th of March commend
ing at about 1880 p. NJ a pruning
and spraying demonstration.
Iowa produces fruit of maximum
quality when nature is assisted by
three fundamental principles of or
chard management, namely; prun-
ing, spraying and cultivation.
Many farmers would be willing to
prune their orchards if they knew
how and when the work should be
done. Perhaps the average orchard
in Iowa is neglected more than any
other one thing connected with the
farm. Every farm in Iowa should
have a good, well cared for home
orchard on it.
Tell your friends and neighbors
about the pruning and spraying DEM
onstration. An apple tree selected
by those present will be pruned and
reasons given for making such and
such cuts. The time of year for
pruning will be given. Every phase
pertaining to orchard tree pruning
will be given. Every phase pertain
ing to orchard tree pruning will be
discussed such as high and low
headed trees; spreading and upright
growers; cutting and heading back,
dehorning; winter and summer
pruning, girdling, etc.
The subject of spraying will be
discussed and demonstrated as far
as equipment at hand will permit
This phase of orchard management
is in itself perhaps the most impor.
tant subject pertaining to orchard
management. The important insect
orchard pests and diseases of this To-
cality will be discussed and also the
best sprays for the control of these
The school children, especially the
high school students, are especially
invited to attend this meeting. The
cost for the meeting will be very
small and the travelling expenses will
be pro-rated with other places.

Price of Paper Soaring.

If you drop in at the furniture, dry
goods or clothing store you will be
informed that the prices of nearly
all articles have gone skyward within
the past months-and you necessar-
lily pay more for them. 1t may be
noted in passing that the price OF
everything the newspaper and job
man purchases has also kitered up
wards-and what is worse the price
is still rising by leaps and bounds.
Such being the case it looks reason
able that the printer must charge d
higher price for his output, at least
in the job and advertising line or
else be out of pocket. That which Is

ABOUT THE ADVANCE OF ALL
KINDS OF MERCHANDISE.

1t is true, only too true, that all
kinds of goods have advanced, not
only woolens and cotton, but iron.
steel, copper, drugs, hardware, pap
er, glassware, in fact everything has
greatly advanced. Circumstances,
over which we kave no control, have
made the above facts, but be this as
it may, while in New York few
weeks ago I bought hundreds or
suits. in fact many thousand dollars
worth of goods, at exceptional low
prices so that can make the truth
full statement that not a single suit
or oyercoat in our store has been ad-
yanced one cent. In fact, everything
in our big store is being sold at the
same low price and will be until this
stock is exhausted.
/ might say, further, that have al
ready arranged for many goods IN
my line at former prices for next
fall. This is foresight, to be sure
but it has all been done for the good
of our patrons and, naturally, what
ever is an advantage to our patrons
| is also a gain for us. You may de-
pend upon it that you can buy goods
cheaper from me than anywhere IN
