man. She Is senior in West Virginia
University, to be graduated in June
with an A. b. She Is modest, hard

and the glory of the film director.
Every West Virginian will be inter-

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES

In electing Warren G. Harding as
the Republican nominee for President
and Calvin Coolidge as the nominee
for President the Chicago Con-
vention has given the voters of the
United States one of the strongest
tickets ever placed before them. Both
have characters that are beyond re-
proach and both are men of achieve
ment.
Harding started the study of law
but became interested in newspaper
work in which he was a success. In
public life, especially in that portion
spent as a memeber of the United
States Senate, he has proven himself
man capable of filing the Office of
President
Coolidge spent his early manhood
days in farming but took up law and
later worked his way through merit
to his present position as Governor of
Massachusetts,. In this position he
became famous for his swift, thor
ough and efficient method of handling
the Boston police strike.
The selection of such notable men is
to the credit of the Republican Party
and this choice itself viii be a great
winning factor in the coming election.

Then Rudolph continues in his let
ter:
"Now, l would like for some fair
minded man to show me where the
miner gets anything out of it. He
would work as days in 1908 and pay
for the twenty articles mentioned
above at $2.56 day. In 1920 he
works 70 LIZ days for the same TWEEN
ty articles at Sc day. That means
he works "a 1-2 days in 1920 for moth
ing. If he got the Sc day for that
time he would receive $207 that the
retailer gets. The loader in 1908
loaded 210 tons of coal to pay for the
twenty articles at SIS cents a ton, and
in 1920 he loads AGO tons at $1.O4 a
ton, or $50 tons of coal for nothing.
Thus, he gives the retailer $3.50.

LIVE STOCK DECREASING.
REPORTS SHOW

A falling off in the numbers of cat
tie and hogs in the United States &C.
CURED during the first four months
OF this year, as compared with the
like period last year according to re-
ports of special livestock reporters of
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
In the case of hogs the births dur
ing January, February, March and
April were about 10 per cent fewer
than in the same months last year.
The marketings have fallen off about
10 per cent; the farm slaughter was
about the same in both seasons; but
the deaths on farms this year are ov-
er 40 per cent heavier than last wear
to May l. Taking into consideration
both the births ard the deaths (frora
all causes), it appears that there has
been relative reduction of about 8
per cent during the first four months
OF this year as compared with the
trend during the first four months Of
last year.
The births of calves from January
to May l. were about % per cent
fewer this year than last year. The
net disposition of cattle by Market
ings, farm slaughter and deaths was
about 8 per cent greater than last
year; it appears that there has been
relative reduction of about 6 per
cent in total number of cattle as COM
pared with last year during the four
months January l to May l.

income, and their action in keeping
capital out of railroads by unwise leg
islation and demagogic appeals to the
mob spirit, has cost the country so
many billions of dollars that it is diff
ficult to measure the evil influence Of
the blind leaders of the blind in the
fiht made against full measure Of
profit on railroad investments, COM
mensurate with the profit in industri-
al and banking and mercantile prop
critics We are are paying the penalty
and paying it by the billions.
A solution of this great problem is
essential to the salvation of our busi-
ness interests from a complete break
down.
Putting aside all of the preujdices
of the past, all of the hostility to the
railroads engendered by unwise rail
road managers the nation must recog-
nize that it is the people who are
suffering more than the railroads.
Unless our railroads are saved AMI
expanded the aggregate loss to the
people will be far greater than the
total loss to stockholders would be if
every dollar of investment in railroad
property was wiped out.
With these facts driven home to
every farmer and merchant and man
ufacturer, every professional man
and every day laborer and mechanic,
there should come new spirit of ap-
probation of railroads before there
can be rebirth of railroad expansion
in keeping with the country's needs.

He points out that in 1903 the miners
of Illinois received $3.50 a day and 55
cents ton, while in 1920 they get Sc
day and $1.04 ton. Then he gives
list of twenty articles of food and
the price which the miner paid for
100 pounds of each article in 1903 and
the price which he pays for 100
pounds in 1920. The list is as fol-

After the strenuous days preced-

theory is that party unity should fol-

however, and there are many dlsar-

New Invention Makes Ford Run
"a Miles on Gallon of Gasoline
other Cars Show Proportionate
Savings.

A new CarbuTetor which cuts
down the gasoline consumption of
any motor, including the Ford, and
reduces gasoline bills from one
third to one-half is the proud
achievement of the Air Friction
Carburetor company 463 Madison
St, Dayton. Ohio. This remark
able invention not only increases
the power of all motors from 80 to
so per cent, but enables everyone
to run slow on high gear. With 1t
you can use the very cheapest
grade of gasoline or half gasoline
and half kerosene and still get
more power and more mileage than
you now get from the highest test
gasoline. Many Ford owners say
they now get as high as As or so
miles to a gallon of gasoline. So
sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carbu-
rotor will make that they offer to
send 1t on 80 days trial to every
car owner. AS it can be put on or
taken off in few minutes by any

turers at once. They also want

RAY CHAPMAN'S
DEATH GREATLY
MOURNED BY ALL
icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE

New York, Aug. 1S,-The gloom
cast over baseball by the death of
Ray Chapman. shortstop Of the
Cleveland team, was apparent to-
day when the Indians and Now
York Yankees resumed their battle
for leadership of the American
league. Chapman's death was more
deeply impressed upon the speCta-
tors by the flag at the Polo grounds
flying at half mast and the bands
of mourning worn on the left
sleeves of the players. The fans
paid tribute to Chapman's memory
by applauding Lunte. his success
scr, when he came to bat.
There was much curiosity during
the preliminary practice as to
whether Carl Mays. the Yankee
pitcher whose throw caused the
fatal injury to Chapman, would.ap-
pear, but he was not in uniform
and it was said he was not at the
grounds. New York players would
not venture a guess as to when
Mays again would appear.
Although the game was closely
contested, there was not the same
enthusiasm manifest as at contests
between the clubs heretofore. There
were flashes of clever fielding but
the players seemed to lack the
dash and spirit that might be ex-
pected from clubs fighting for the
leadership. The attendance was
about $4,000, the smallest at a New
York-Cleveland contest since the
race became close,
Termination of the game-Pipp's
home run that brought victory to
the Yankees-awoke the fans and
the feat was accorded the usual
demonstration.

LONG STANDING
! WORLD s SPORT
/ RECORD BROKEN
Canadian Wins ITO Meter
Hurdles; Consistent Per-
formanCeS of Americans
Win Them Several Places


Antwerp, Aug. IS (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The breaking OF
one worlds record-the 10 meters
hurdles--which had stood for
twelve years, and the scoring OF
points by ten nations in four final
events were features of the fourth
day in the track and field sports in
the Olympic games today.
The record was made by Earl
Thompson, representing Canada.
He was former Dartmouth college
star, and the American athletes
claim some credit for his prowess.
Thompson went over the hurdles
in IA AS seconds. The old record,
both Olympic and worlds, was, 5
seconds, which F. Smithson estab-
lished for the United States in the
olympic games in London in 1908.
H. L. Barron of the Meadow
brook club. Philadelphia, who was
second, and Fred S. Murray of the
New York A. c., were the runners
who forced Thompson to extend
himself. Thompson was an eX-
ample of the perfect hurdler today,
with a stride over the hurdles fully
ten feet apart in the last fifty
yards. where he gained ground in
his greatest lead.
While Italy, Canada, Finland
and Sweden won all four first
places today, the consistent per-
formances of the Americans gain
ed them three second places. two
thirds. two fourths. one fifth and
one sixth-a total of 80 points.
Sweden came next with Is and
Finland third with ~. These three
nations now are leading in the
point honors, with England fourth.
Notwithstanding the brilliant
athletic performances and other
attractive features, the Olympic
games are falling to attract many
Belgians. AS a result the govern
ment officials. whose endeavors
We're responsible for securing the
games for Antwerp are bitterly dis
appointed. They point out that the
bulk of the spectators are Anglo
Saxon.
Aside from the consistency of the
Americans there was nothing es-
pecially noteworthy in today's per-
formances. The shutout of Ameri-
cans from first places were deci-
sive. In the 10 meters hurdles
Thompson led Barron by two yards.
Also in the shot put the defeat was
noticeable. 2. j. Mcdonald of the
