Annual Choice of Officers
Postponed When Rebels
Present a New Ticket
at the Eleventh Hour
Packed Meeting Charged
Dilatory Methods of Old
Directors Said to Have
Caused Insurgents Move

A heated debate, caused BY the pre-
senting of last minute" ticket by an
insurgent group at the annual luncheon
citation at the Hotel Astor yesterday,
resulted in the temporary delay of an
election G-til November 3. when after
two weeks of consideration. the asso-
citation will vote on both tickets at the
Hotel Martinique.
The luncheon had been running
smoothly; the chairman and president
of the association, Jefferson De Mont
Thompson. had made his report; the
treasurer August Jansen. had made his
but when Commiss ioner of Prisons
Leon Wcinstock. chairman of the
nominating committee, read the last of
regular" nominees the storm broke
loose.
Mr.. Thompson had just asked
whether there was any discussion of
the motion to elect the regular" can
tidates when Theodore Wondsel, of
Everett Heaney & Co., asked permis
ion to read another list of nomina-
tons. The REGULARS" were astounded,
because, as it was explained later. it
was the first time in the seven years life
of the association the report of the
nominating committee had been op-
posed Chairman Thompson ruled the
request "out Of order" because Of car
tain bylaws which provided that
nominations must be in by Il certain
time.
Debate Becomes Heated
1t was then that the discussion be-
came hcated. Robert T. Hatch. of the
regulars" sprang to his feet saying
that he had been one of the original
five organizers of the association, and
protested at what he called the cir
regular tactics" of the insurgents. He
was supported by Paul II. Zagat, a
regular candidate for vice~president,
who moved that the list presented by
the "insurgents" be not considered, but
on the advice Of their counsel, E. H.
Limburg. the members of the assoc ia
ton decided after many minutes more
of debate to receive the second list
The list was read and it was found
TO be Identical in many instances with
the REGULARS" list. and after a half
hour of debate and vote it was de-
cided to send copies of both tickets
20 the 200 members of the association
for consideration. and then at 8 O'clock
Monday. November 3. voting would be
in order. Throughout the debate the
chief point of difference WAS that
while in one instance the list pre-
sented by the nominating committee
was legal, the other list was the "cop-
coctlon of group of disturbers."
The candidates presented by both
factions follow:

pIsposina Of the Surplus.

Theoretically unbusiness-like though
II seems, ii is not ut all surprising
that congress and the administration
are finding it hard to decide how TO
dispose advantageously OF the great
stores of surplus war supplies remain

goods may be appreciated when it is
said that they represent an outlay OF
81. 500, 100000 more than one-tenth Of
the entire was expenditure OF $22 .000.-
000, 200 by the United States. The pro
fceeds Of the first Liberty loan would
have been insufficient to pay for them.

itial outlay in order 10 liquidate TO

the cost of living and ease the food
shortage to dump the whole supply on
the market, but the food producers
point out that such unloading would
cause glut and widespread distur-
bance and mmerited losses. To the
popular suggestion that the goods be
sold to individual consumers il IS re-
piled that they are packed in "army
size" tins, packages or other contain
ers which render them un.suited to
household use. To repack thnm
would be costly and to dispose OF
them through any government agency
would involve the upbulding OF q few
eral bureau just at the time when war
administrations are being eliminated.
TO the suggestion, that The provis-
ion dealers of the nation be called
upon to handle the disposal of these
stores is opposed the argument of
those unaIterably against entrusting

Why Not Compromise.

After q wrangle congress has ar
ranged to have the daylight saving
law die natural death next October
providing President Wilson approves.
There are thousands of people in the
country who believe that a daylight
saving measure might be adopted in a
great country like the United States
which would be compromise between
the farmers and certain labor ee-
ments, who oppose turning the clock
back and the urban population-which
forms the great majority,
the extra hour of natural light
II is hard to tell which argument APP
pealed more to the legislators who
voted to repeal the daylight aot-the

fashion and work out a genuine solu-
ton that will answer the needs of the
whole country?
The benefits to the great majority
of the people of America are unques-
toned. The saving in fuel, large as it
is, is but one small item. A distance
gain in health is undoubtedly the larg-
est item. All the diseases of which
fresh air is the chief enemy having

Makes Life Worth Living

You cannot be Constipated and happy
at the same time. If almost everything
you eat distresses you, and brings on
headache, gas on the stomach, heart
burn, etc, you can easily eliminate
these conditions by taking SEVEN
BARKS, the favorite root and herb
remedy for stomach disorders.
SEVEN BARKS will expel the dis
tressing acids, and dangerous poisons,
and help you back TO good digestion
and active health, making life worth
living again.
Do you sleep well? or are you trou-
bled with almost sleepless nights7
While there are many causes for sleep
lessness, it generally happens that de-
ranged stomach, liver or intestines are
the real cause of the trouble. If your
appetite is not good, or food distresses
you, or the bowels do not move daily,
you can get quick relief from these
disagrceabIe conditions by simply TAX
ing 10 to 20 drops of SEVEN BARKS
in a little water after meals; this is
natures remedy made, from the ex-
tracts OF Root and Herbs, has stood
the test for nearly so years, and will
certainly give you a feeling of new life.
If you would have the glow of health,
and Danish The blues, don't neglect to
ask your druggist for SEVEN
BARKS. Costs but 50 cents,

evening in opposition to the League

Of world wide interest just now, the
fact that Senator Johnson may pos

among it's supporters are many other

not competent to pass on the question
whether or not to approve the League
Of Nations. He must rely on the
Judgment OF statesmen whose train

Meats in Storage

Every working day of the year rs, 900 600 pounds
ofmeat are required to supply home and export needs
and only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind when consid-
ering the u. S. Bureau of Markets report that
June /, 1919, there were 1,2348,0oOO00 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in storage
placed on the market it would only be 20 days supply
This meat is not artifcally withheld from trade
channels to maintain advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
IS per cent approximate hams bacon, ETC., in
process of curing 1t takes 80 to 90 days in
pickle or salt to complete the process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year
6 per cent is lard This is only four-ffths of
pound per CAPITA and much of it will have
to go to supply European needs
10 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which is owned by the Government and was
intended chiefly for overseas shipment.
this were all diverted to domestic trade chan
nes it would be only 1Ia lbs. per capita--a
days supply
From this it will be seen that meats in
storage" represent merely unfinished goods in pro-
cess of curing and the working supply necessary to
assure the consumer steady flow of finished product
