Declares Third Term for Wilson
 an ImpOssibility

Kansas City, Mo-, June 21.-Presi- dent Wilson's nomination for a third term was declared to be an i'm. possibility, because of the condition of the presidents health, in an in terview given out by Jouett Shouse third assistant secretary of the Uni ted States treasury.
 "No real friend of the president regards his nomination as a possi- bility," said MT. Shouse, who is on his way to the democratic national convention in San Francisco. "If he now had the strength and vigor that he had in 1916, his nomination for a third term might be consider ed probability But his friends know he is not in good health.
 "There was not the slightest col fusion between the statement of Pres ident Wilson Friday morning and the of McAdoo Friday after noon.
 "It would not be possible for Pres ident Wilson to conduct campaign" ]"

Play Draws Large
 ChautauQua Crowd

The largest crowd that has witness ed any program given so far on the chautauqua course this year saw the play, Ut Pays to Advertise,") pre- sented last evening in Central High school auditorium. A cast of six char acters made up the dramatic personel and the play throughout was de- lightful piece of humor showing wherein it pays to advertise.
 A r-do-well son of soap mag nate goes into business for himself
 and for girl. By chance he en- gages live wire advertising man, who advertises prodigally the kind of soap put out by the son against that produced by the rich father. "Thir- teen Soap Unlucky for Dirt" was the trade mark on which the son staked his fortune. By hook and crook the soap magnate is drawn into the rival business, to the tune of a cleaning for handsome sum, and young blood wins.
 There was hardly vacant seat in the auditorium with upstairs and downstairs.

Delief for Wool
 Producers Asked

Washington, June 21.-Immediate relief for the wool producing indus try was urged by the federal reserve board today on representatives of several wool growers and dealers as- sociations will be manufacturers and bankers.
 The sudden drop in the price of wool on May 20 from 65 cents to about 2 0 cents a pound with no buyers even at that figure, has caus- ed a crisis which threatens heavy losses to producers, the board was told.
 Cessation of purchasing by the public in protest against the high cost of clothing, was cited as the immediate cause of the drop in wool prices.
 Senators King and Shoot of Utah. Kellogg of Minnesota and Represen- tative Mondell of Wyoming were present at the conference and advo- cated credit plan which would en- able banks to assist wool producers over the present emergency.

Whereas, it was the will of God to call from our midst by death our be- loved friend and benefactor, Felix M Rosenberg, and we bow in humble submission and with deep sorrow to our heavenly Fathers command, and
 Whereas, MT. Rosenberg leaves to his sons relatives, our society and to all of his friends, priceless inheri- tance, in the inspiration his faultless, faithful and useful life he gave to us, his every act was of charity, good cheer, forgiveness and generosity.

 Therefore, be it further resolved, That these resolutions be spead on our records as perpetual remem- brance of his goodness and that same be copied in our daily papers and that a copy be mailed to his sons. MRS. ADOLPH BLUNTHENTHAL, MRS. LOUIS FROUG,
