 The crowds of pleasure seekers Hooking to the park each evening are growing more dense, while bathing beach. dance floor, inn and picnic grounds alike are crowded with merry makers
 And activities by no means are con- fined to evenings. For on the hot aft ernoon scores upon scores of swim mers dive into Neptune Beach to en- joy the cooling waters and to laugh back defiance at the sun that seeks to take all the joy out of life. It's cool and clean and healthful in the spar king waters of the pool and Birming ham swimmers rapidly are turning this fact to their own account in seeking the coolest places during the heated period.

 COMMON CARRIERS
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, August 7.-Oil pipe lines in Louisiana today became common car riers under provisions of a new law en- acted by the recent general assembly The lines now come under the super vision and regulation of the state rail road commission.
 The bill as passed concluded a fight of long standing between the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana and the inde- pendent oil producers of north Louisi; ana. The independents claimed that the nature of the business conducted by the Standard proved the corporations lines to be common carriers, while the Stand ard contended it's lines were private property.
 The term "common carrier" as defined in the law includes persons. firms or corporations engaged in the transporta- tion of crude petroleum for hire or which may be legally held to be such from the nature of their business. It is provided that there shall be no dis crimination against the owners or ship perS of oil.

WILSON n A N ES
DEMOCRAT FOR
CAMPAIGN POST
Representative Cantrill to Take
Over Part of work of
White
LATTER LOSES IN FAVOR

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Establish-
ment of Representative James c.
Cantrill of Kentucky in New York in
charge of organization for the demo-
cratic national committee in the cam
paign is declared by administration
leaders here to have been accomplish
ed at the dictation of President Will
son.
In assuming the democratic organ
izatiOn work for the entire country
Representative Cantrill takes over a
large portion of the job out for the
national chairman, George White,
who it is said is not in favor at the
White House since he came to Wash
ington and announced that the League
of Nations would be the chief issue
of Governor COX's campaign. Mr.
White, it is understood, still is the
national chairman, but in Cantrill he
will have at his elbow man who
will ook after things from an admin
istratiOn standpoint.
Democratic DiscOrd Seen
The president has surprised many
democratic leaders by his long silence
on Governor j. M. Cox's speech of ac-
ceptance, but they are now begin
ming to understand that all has moi
been running smoothly between the
Wilson wing of the party and the Cox
managers, the friction dating from the
time Mr.. White was made chairman
of the national committee to succee,!
Homer S. Cummings, staunch ad-
ministration supporter. The president
and his intimate advisers within the
party are said to have been dissatis-
! fled with the way things have been
running in the party management
ever since the campaign began, and
particularly with the methods of Or
ganization in many Of the states.
They insisted upon something being
done, and the announcement from
New York that Representative CaE-
trill had assumed charge of the par
ty organization was the result.
Democrats Open Speakers School
Before taking charge in New York,
it has been learned, Representative
Cantrill came to Washington and con-
ferred with the presidents intimate
associates regarding campaign organ
ization plans.
Among other plans is the decision
to open in New York. a school for
League of Nations orators who are
to do the spellbinding in the cam
paign. Senator G. NJ. Hitchcock, who
led the presidents fight for the
treaty, is to be the instructor in this
department. The purpose is to
coach the league speakers so they will
all tell the same story.
Many of the party orators now are
mixing up their league doctrine, much
to the displeasure OF the president.

dered four years ago in which the
court refused to order the question

tertain motion for the vacation of
the judgment, but the matter appears
on the new court calendar. The hear
ing is set for Sept. 7, the first on the

Haunting
HEAD IS BLOWN OFF

. Combining having and hunting
proved fatal to Clifford Whitmer, thir-
teen year old sonsof: Mr. and Mrs.
Elmer Whitmer, Mandan, late Friday
afternoon. The gun. which he carried
on his hay rake to kill rabbits and
other small game, exploded and near
ly blew his head off. The body lurch-
ed back against the rake-seat and
the horses frightened by the sound
of the shot gun ran away. Death
was instant, but the body of the boy
caught firmly in the seat. remained
on the rake until the horses were
stopped by clump Of bushes.
Paul Eckroth, who was driving a
rake behind Clifford, heard the gun
explode and rushed to his comrades
assistance, but when he caught the
horses the boy was dead and bleed
ing profusely. The shot almost tore
his head off entering beneath the
chin. "
Gun Jared
Both boys were employed by Brown
& Frazer hay contractors, and were
working in the Missouri hay bottoms
eleven miles north or Mandan ana
near Harmon, N. D. The contractors
had left for Mandan shortly after 3
p. M. to secure parts for their ma
chinery and instructed the boys to
do the raking. When the contractors
had left, Clifford, it is said, went to
the camp and secured a 12-guage
shot gun and placed it on his rake
intending to combine a little pleas
ure with the afternoons routine in
the hay field. 1t is believed that while
making one Of the turns or dumping
the rake, the jar exploded the gun,
the muzzle of which was pointed at the
boys head. Coroner Kennedy of Nor
ton. county investigated the accident
in company with Mr.. Elmer Whitmer,
Friday evening. The funeral will be
held Sunday at p. M. from the Ken
nelley's undertaking parlors, Mandan.
