Fox hunting seems to be engaging
I the attention of the lovers of that
sport during these wintry days, when
there isn't much else to divert their
attention. Reynard seems quite in
evidence in this community and the
/ boys generally have no trouble in
starting him when they go out
White potatoes seem to be going up
| rapidly in price in this section. They
are retailing at 80 cents per basket.
But the dealers say the price will
soon be higher Many of our farmers
have quite a great many on hand
but they are in no hurry to put them
on the market while the price is ad-
vancing so fast.
The first of a series of socials to be
held by the pupils of Prof. Mcllvains
room of our public school was given
on Friday evening of last week at the
home of Mrs. George W. Collins. The
evening was spent in music and games
after which refreshments were served.
All reported a good time and are look
ing forward with anticipation to the
next one two weeks hence.
Master Wilton Williams. who lives
with his father on the l.. Soper
farm, had the misfortune last Satur-
day of having the end of one of his
fingers cut of in a power planer which
he was operating on the farm.
The recent snow and sleet has made
our streets and pavements slippery
and dangerous. Several of our citi-
zens have slipped and fallen and now
it is no uncommon thing 10 see the
pedestrians take to the middle of the
street.
Our town people showed their ap-
probation on Saturday of the great
victory won by the dry forces of this
country. One citizen remarked that
never did such clean flags decorate
the houses of our town, for they no
longer had the stain of the licensed
liquor business upon them.

that never fail him in good luck or

Canadian Pulp to Spain.

QUEBEC, Que, July 20.-A new
market for Canadian pulp was deve1-
oped here by the visit recently Of
August Ramoneda, of Spain. Ro-
maneda represents twenty-five of
Spain's largest paper mills and had
instructions to place orders for as
much Canadian pulp as was available.
He secured, however, he stated. only
one-tenth of the amount he would like
to have purchased.
The Canadian government steam
ship Maple Court has just sailed for
Spain with the first cargo of Cana
dian pulp for Mr.. Ramoneda's clients,
who consume about $4,000 tons Of
pulp per year.
Ramoneda will leave shortly for
his home in Barcelona, and while
there he will endeavor to interest
Spanish merchants in shipping their
products. such as oils, nuts and fruits,
to Canada.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 20.-A fund
Of more than $3,500,000, twice as large
ah the 1916 chest-muSt be raised to
finance the battle proposed by Cover
nor James M. Cox and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, leaders of the democratic
national committee here for the first
meeting here today estimate.
Cox stated his personal choice for
committee man was Ed FL Moore, his
convention campaign manager. Doubt
existed that Moore will accept because
he desires to return to his law prac-
tice.
Apparently Homer S. Cummings
was in line for selection, if Moore de
Iclines
The proposed fund will be the great
est in the history Of the party, but
national committeeman say it is neces-
sary because all campaign commodi-
ties have more than doubled in price
hince the 1916 contests.
In 1916, according to a statement
of the clerk OF the house at Washing
ton, the democratic contributions
were close to $1,SOO,OOO, while the re-
publican war chest" amounted to ap-
proximately s2,500,000.
Because of the revelations OF the
senate committee on the pre-conven-
ton expenditures, both campaign
funds this year probably would be
subjected to close scrutiny. Senator
Pomerene has informed members OF
the national committee that he will
ask the committee to resume hearings
as soon as contributions start to roll
in.
The committee meets at eleven
o'clock. .

Governor Cox will probably attend

Moore Has Declined.
COLUMBUS, O.. July 20.--After a
two-hour conference at Governor
Cox's residence today, in which the
governor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ed
H. Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio, and
George White, of Marietta, Ohio, par
ticipated, it was announced that
Moore had positively declined to be-
come democratic national campaign
chairman.
1t was stated that White would
likely run the campaign, provided the
national committee should create a
special campaign committee. Under

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
LINCOLN, Neb., July 2O.-With the
arrival of Virgil G. Hinshaw, ma
tional chairman, and a scattering of
prohibition delegates today, the ma
tional prohibition convention took on
the aspects of real political gather
ing.
Prospects Of prohibition ticket in
the presidential field went up notch
today when Hinshaw announced that
in order to pull the solid prohibition
vote, Warren G. Harding, republican,
nominee, must in his speech Of ac-
ceptance promise to use his power,
if elected, to both enforce and main
tain the eighteenth amendment.
Hinshaw said: "To draw the vote
of the prohibition party, Mr.. Harding
must make a clear-cut declaration
that he will use his influence to main
tain the amendment and in addition
be ready to recommend and use his
veto power against any alteration of
the amendment"
The prohibition chairman an
nounced that he was preparing tele-
gram to VIII III! Hays, republican ma
tional chairman, asking an explana-
ton for the disappearance" of the
law enforcement plank from the re
publican platform.
There is possibility that the
name of William j. Bryan may be
presented before the prohibition as
sembly without The consent of the
Nebraska commoner. Enthusiasts are
setting up an increasing clamor for
him.
Members of the national executive
committee are In conference today,
putting the finishing touches on
plans for the convention, which opens
Wednesday morning.
Sunday Might Run.
HOOD RIVER, Ore, July 2O.-Billy
Sunday is disinclined to get into
politics, but if VIM. Jennings Bryan
thinks it necessary that the prohibi-
tionists put candidate in the field
or if existing circumstances point to
a possible undermining of the pur
poses of the eighteenth amendment,
''then you may count on us getting
into effective action
This was the evangelist's reply
when asked if he would accept the
nomination for vice president of the
party.
Although Sunday laid great stress
on the counsel of the commoner he
said he considered the republican
platform sufficiently strong for a dry
America.
