The postmaster was preparing for
his duties. He looked over the list Of

secretary. He's the crazy airman,
you know-the fellow who does aero
batic stunts in midair. I'd like to in
troduce him in some original sort Of
way. Can you think of anything?"
The secretary straightway looked
thoughtful.
How would it do to call him the

DRIES" Are next
Prohibition Convention to Con-
vene on July 10.
May Not Name National Ticket
This Time.

st. Paul. Mimi, June 17.-Pledges
of Prohibitionists to vote against any
presidential candidate or party not
pledged to the abolition of the liquor
traffic, rather than an actual serious
attempt to elect a national ticket,
seemed the possible keynote today of
the national convention to be held here
July 10.
On July IS, a preliminary meeting
will be held of the 100000 voters
league, which seeks to align 100000
voters on the platform of a prohibition
pledge, rather than for the prohibition
ticket.
1t is claimed that 10000 voters in
Minnesota alone will be secured.
Eugene N. Foss, former governor
of Massachusetts,, and william Sulzer,
former governor of New York, will be
here during the convention, opening
July 10.
College men from the entire nation
will hold an oratorical contest as a
preliminary to the convention on
July IT.

Williams had sat with the committee

hear them and enjoyed the full rights

TRADE SETTLING DOWN
Gradual Contraction Apparent But
Volume Steady and Healthy.

New York, June 17.-Bradstreet
today says:
TRADE currents following the
reaching of maximum expansion seem
to indicate a further gradual con-
traction at least as regards new buy
ing. But the situation except in a
comparatively few lines for
instances strongly buttressed by
filled up order books, which insure ac-
tivity in Industrial quarters for some
time to come.
Lower ocean freight rates, enlarg-
ed dividends, evidence of renewed
heavy buying of steel for foreign ac-
count and the perfecting of a $50, 000.-
900 loan to Russia are also significant
features
Notwithstanding that the time for
seasonal quiet has arrived activity in
essentials is marked. though unattend-
ed, of course, by symptoms of fever
ishness, such as characterized pur-
chases a while ago. Instead there has
come orderly, steady buying with evil
dences of a prudent disposition to
eliminate up-bidding as well as to
guard against sudden downward shifts
in prices.

Austrians Make Stand.
London, June 17.-That the Aus
TRANS, driven from their first line of
trenches on the eastern front, have
settled into new positions of strength
and are stubbornly resisting the Rus
sian advance is the conclusion gained
from the fact that the Russian Off
cial report does not carry the state

firmed, though reported unofficially
from several sources. It's capture has
not been denied from Vienna.
From a few miles north of Tarno-
pol to Brody, the Austrians have held
their ground steadily, due to the fact,
says Petrograd, that the greatest vio-
lence of the Russian drive had been
developed north and south of this Sec
tor.
The drive already has had the effect
of Iessening in marked degree the
