ST. LOUIS, June 8.-The Democratic

members here preparing for next

action of President Wilson in naming

The committee men say they do not
object to the two men named-though
the member from Kentucky, Urey
Woodson. is James political enemy,

america First" To Be
Wilson's Keynote.

The Democratic platform, which
has been practically COM
pleted by President Wilson,
will have America First for
its keynote. II is understood
to follow closely the platform
adopted by the Missouri Dem
ocratic convention. This plat
form was revised and ap.
proved by the President.
The foreign affairs plank is un.
derstood to employ the phrase
America first' and to COM
mend the Wilson Administra-
lions conduct of the interna-
tional affairs of the Govern
ment on the ground that it
has followed this principle.
A high Administration official
indicated that the plank of the
st. Louis platform dealing
with the tariff and other leg
islative achievements of the
Wilson Administration will
probably embody the sub
stance Of the letter written by
the President in October,
1914, to Congressman Under
wood, then the majority lead
er Of the House, in which the
President said the principle in
the Democratic tariff was
that each duty levied was to
be tested by the inquiry
whether il was put at such
figure and levied in such a
manner as to provoke compe-
tition.'

The ftful flames in the CRATE under

the faces OF the young farmer and his
wife. Both faces wore the Christmas
smile, the smile which tells the story
that
l"Christmas comes but once a year,

Gradually the smile died In the WON

Slaughtered into a hard line. Her
glance left the pickering flames to run
over the row Of grotesquely fat stock
ing along the edge of the mantle. Slow
iy she arose, walked into an adjoining

into her eyes before he said:
Something's worryin' you. What is
Il? Don't let's start out the night be-
fore Christmas with any worry on our
minds. Have you forgot to get some
present for one of the children, or
what?"
She nodded her head emphaticallv
and explained:
"Yes, that's 1t exactly. We've for
gotten all about the best present OF
them all and one that lasts all the
year"
"Well, but what is it?"
"It's the school"
The man began to laugh and then
checked himself as he saw the pain
in his wife's face. so he merely said,
quietly:
go ahead, little woman. an tell me
what's on your mind"
