Notes Of a Convention Observer
Bryan and Cochran Make Star Offering Dele
gates Have Trouble Understanding
Glass Southern Dialect.

San Francisco, July 3.-Oratorical
fireworks, historic in Democratic
annals. so the faithful are saying.
marked yesterdays platform debate.
Bryan and Cochran. on the same
bill. certainly were Z top line Of
fering, and everybody who heard
their duel felt moneys worth was
given. Oratorlcaliy the Democratic
party has not made much progress
during the past generation. Cock
ran was n star performer twenty.
eight years ago and Bryan burst
upon the ornament twenty-fodr
years ago.
Senator Carter Glass, Of Virginia,
emerges from San Francisco with
probably the biggest new reputa-
ton. His warding OF all antt.wii-
son and anti.organisation attempts
to shoot up the platform has given
him great prestige throughout the
party. Few Democrats outside. of
the washinston set had ever seen
him. He leaves the Golden Gate a
towering, natienwide figure. When
the inside story can be told 1t will
be found that Glass stood like q
rock, with special firmness, against
the onslaught Of the Irish reoogni.
tion party.
1t is significant that Bourke Cock
ran was selected to make the great
fight for the vets instead of for
the Irish. The convention expected
a Demosthenian effort from him on
behalf of his native Erin. Mr.. Spell
lacy, of Connecticut. who champion
ed the Irish case. was not in the
Cochran class for emotional and
persuasive power.
Carter Glass was ever ready with
repartee throughout the long elocu-
tionary feat He had to perform
while reading the platform. He has
an exasperating Southern manner OF
speaking and was exceedingly DIFF
ficult to understand. when he reach
ed the Irish plank, somebody shout
ed, Talk palmer"
"I'll use the only brogue I've
got" Glass retorted. 'and it is an
American brogue."
Just before he reached the end of
his report, he read of the subtitle

clusion. There was a ripple of ap-
plause all over the hall.

"Trap-Nesting" Employed.
The manner of raising selected
stock to provide eggs to help popu-
late the chicken world of the United
States, is interesting. The problem
of selection is solved by what is
known as "trap-nesting."
Hens are placed on patented nests
and fastened in so that it is impossi-
Bile for them to get out. Every hour
they ave visited by am attendant and
a careful record is kept of every
hen to "cull out" those which do
not lay. In the course Of time, by
this method, selected stock OF
laying hens is procured.
Called Combination Chicken.
The Peters Company but recently
began specialization on the Rhode
Island Red breed, substituting it for
the White Leghorn. The White Leg
horn enjoys the most enviable repu>
tatlon as an egg producer, but tails
down as source of food, while the
Rhode Island Red is known as a
Combination chicken" excellent as
an egg producer and for food pur-
poses.
Some of the finest specimens OF
the Rhode Island Red chicken in
the United States are kept at the

Embarrass N e W
York Waif.

Auburn, Neb., March 13.-(Spe-

that which evoked the judgment of
Solomon will be presented to the
county judge of Lancaster county
Tuesday in a contest between two
sisters, Mrs. J. S. McCarty, wife Of
prominent lawyer and democratic
politician, of Lincoln, and Mrs. Will
liam Ball, wife of we'll known Ne
maha county farmer, for the posses
sion of pretty little Corrine Cope
land, New York orphan.
Mrs. McCarty is childless, her sis
ter, Mrs. Ball, is the mother of two
grown children and the hearts Of
each hunger for the little waif to
the extent that they have gone into
the courts to battle for her possess
sion.
Corrine Copeland, a very bright
little girl was born in Brooklyn, N.
Y, in 1910. On Christmas eve, 1918,
she and her three little sisters were
inexpressibly saddened at a time
when all OF the other children in the
land were rejoicing over the I'M
pending visit of Santa Claus, by the
death OF their mother.
Placed in Asylum.
A year ,afterward their father, who
was in the ice and coal business in
that city, followed the mother, leav-
ing the four children orphaned. They
were placed in an asylum.
/ In 1915 the New York Children's
Home Finding association brought
a carload of orphans from that city
to Auburn. The opera house was
hired and the consignment of chill
dren placed on view before a packed
house and volunteers were called
on to provide the waits with homes.
The scene that ensued beggared
description. The house WAS filled
with child-hungry men and women
and there was great competition for
the possession of all of the little
orphans. This competition made it
possible for the state agent of the
association, Miss Alice Bogardus of
Lincoln. to exercise 2 wise range Of

and see that everything sent them
reaches the one it was intended for.
As an example of how a little
can do great deal of good, when
Secretary Antilles announced
through the papers that he would
take anything the home folks wish
ed to send with him on his trip to
Fort Sheridan, Neils Mikkelson of
Kenesaw gathered up 500 from the
home folks and sent it to Claire
Gardner, the Kenesaw boy in the
hospital.
When Mr.. Antics handed the
money to the boy the tears came to
his eyes and, with trembling lips,
he said, II can't tell you how much
this means 20 me; tell the folks how
much ! thank them"
Mayor Smith of Omaha sent
check to Secretary Antics with in
structions to buy the boys cigarets
and the girls candy, and this was
done. However, one boy could not
smoke cigarets because of the ma
ture of his illness, and SO he was
given a box of candy instead.
Mr.. Antics presented each soldier
with fine bouquet of flowers. Not
knowing just the number of bou-'
quets needed, he took one extra, and
when he found there was not
enough Nebraska boys to take them
all he gave the extra bouquet to

Child May Go East.
In the meantime the little girl is
in the possession of. the McCarty's
at their home in Lincoln.
Both Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Nc
Carly are anxious to adopt the child
and provide her with a home. In
the meantime the New York. society
alleges'it has the prior right Of
guardianship over the child and its
state agent, Miss Alice Bogardus,
threatens that if there is a conten-
ton over her the child will be taken
back to the orphan asylum in New
York.
This complication of the case is
bringing sadness to the hearts of
the three older sisters, living in
homes in this community and they
dread a separation such as this
would involve. They have a great
love for baby sister and dread see
ing her made shuttlecock Of by
fate.
Family Are Pioneers.
Mrs. McCarty and Mrs. Bail, are
members of the Harmon family, ono
of the real pioneer families Of the
state. 1t is large family. Their
parents came here from Missouri in
the SOS and located on farm. one
mile east of Auburn, which IS a
no,ed landmark in this section.
Rev. Andrew Harmon OF, Cotner
University, Rev. Nate Harmon, dep
uty warden of the penitentiary, and
Rev. Harvey Harmon, pastor OF the
First Christian church of Lincoln,
are brothers.
In either home the child would
find an ideal environment, would re-
ceive superior training, and a wealth
of love. Returned to New York
she would have to again live in an
orphan asylum and eventually be
sent out TO find home, probably
far separated from her sisters.
She is embarrassed by having too
many feminine Daddy Longlegs."

Ball home near Auburn.
Sisters Disagree.
This arrangement was satisfactory
until three weeks ago, when some
disagreement regarding the child
al ose between the two sisters, with
the result that Mrs. Ball brought
Corrine back to her home near
Auburn.
The little girl was placed in the
country district school mile from
her home and the teacher was in
structed by Mr.. and Mrs. William
Ball not to permit any stranger or
person outside of the school to visit
her or take possession of her.
One day the fore part of the week
the teacher, Mrs. Clifford Faulkner,
was called to the door of the school
room by Attorney ]. S. McCarty
who asked as Corrine Ball here:'
yes" replied the teacher, "but no
one is permitted to see her."
Lawyer Enters Fray.
She tried to close the door, she
says, but the lawyer held it open
with one foot. I'll show you'll" the
teacher says, he exclaimed. as he
forced his way in, thrust her, aside
and made for the desk where little
Corrine sat.
He grasped the child, who clung
to the desk and screamed, but he
wrenched her loose and took her in
his arms and made for the door. The
little country school was in an up-
roar and the teacher tried to prevent
the lawyer from going outside with
her charge. "The sheriff is herev'
exclaimed McCarty, as he forced
his way out. The teacher, impressed
with the force of law, gave up.
In the meantime Mrs. McCarty
and Sheriff Miller of Lancaster
county were at the Ball home. She
got the child clothing and the
sheriff executed his writ of habaes
corpus and taking possession of the
little girl they made their way back
to Lincoln in a high-powered car.
Mrs. Ball was frantic. She hur.
ried to Auburn, consulted attorneys
and made preparation for fight tc

The ship-by-truck symbol is maxi

1t can be seen on trucks of all sorts
and sizes. ~.
Trucks loaded with furniture,
tires, grain, coal and live stock have

truck this symbol, which means
good trucking service.
This activity of the ship-by-truck
bureau has resulted within the last
FIVE weeks in establishing IA new
routes on which daily service is
maintained from Omaha
The manager OF the Atco Truck
line. Tom Major, and K. S. Graul,
manager of the Firestone ship-bt-
truck bureau. Omaha, went to Ere
mont last Tuesday and signed up
the three largest meat dealers there
to have meats from the Omaha pack
ers delivered by truck This means
about 5000 pounds of meat daily to
Fremont.
Meat to Fremont.
Saturday morning the first trip
was made. The roads are in pretty
good shape except in few places
where the ruts are bad. However.
the pneumatic tires took them over
the rough spots in fine shape.
In Lincoln truck activity is also
booming. X. f. Boileau, who has
inaugurated a rural motor express
and made his first trip over the
route Thursday, reports the roads
are in fair condition, but as yet they
are little spongy.
His first route to be established
was from Lincoln to Beaver Cross
ing. He says the merchants along
this route are greatly enthused over
the plan of daily service, as it en-
ables them to get their goods when
they want them.
Needs More Trucks.
On his first trip he. carried ca
pacity load and says that indica-
lions are that more trucks will be
necessary in very short time, so
as to be able to handle the business.
' Mr. BoHeau's next route will be
from Lincoln to Omaha, via Louis
vile. He will handle this route
from Hartung ship-b3truck ter
minal, located at l2l1 Howard
street, Omaha. ..-ses,
Mr.. Hartung reports that his ter
minal will within very short time
be in operation and going full blast.
He has been over the routes out of
Omaha and in every case finds both
the merchant and consumer highly
in favor of this.
Routes Out of Columbus.
In Columbus, 0. S. Jensen has
routes in all directions from that
city. Mr.. Jensen says that since his
routes have been established he has
been carrying capacity loads on
every txip. On Friday and Satur-
day of each week he keeps his feet
of, trucks in Columbus to handle the
business in that city. His fleet also
