Mrs. Brown Made a Hit.

In the Democratic convention in
San Francisco last Thursday Mrs.
) unior' Brown, of Kingwood, w. Va.
widow OF Congressman VIM. g.
Brown, OF this district, made a decided
hit with the delegates and visitors in
the great convention hall. Following
the presentation Of Ambassador John
W. Davis'S name by Governor Corn
well Thursday, Mrs. Brown seconded
the nomination. She convulsed the
delegates with story about little boy
who returned from Sunday school with
a twisted version OF the story of the
creation.
God sent Adam into the Garden of
Eden," according TO the boy. And he
went TO sleep, and then God came down
and took his brains and made woman"
The crowd rOared with laughter and
the band burst into "Oh, You Beauti-
full DOLL"
The spotlight was flashed on and
the crowd rose 10 its feet to cheer.
Mrs. Brown, blonde, ruddy-cheeked
and smiling, stood looking over the
cheering crowd quite unruifled.
She told the story to illustrate why
the Democratic> party should assure
ratification of the suffrage amendment
by November.
In one of her pauses a voice in the
gallery came rolling down, singing
with the band, "You Beautiful, Beau
tiful, Doll"
Mrs. Brown laughed as easily as if
she had been paid a compliment at
quiet tea party.
Mrs. Brown also placed Mrs. John
w Davis in nomination for "First
Lady of the Land" as a woman quail
fled in every way to be mistress of the
White House.
"Oh, what a Pal was Mary" intoned
the band, as Mrs. Brown swept from
the platform as calmly and serenely
as she would step from her own draw
ing room, with a cool, collected smile,
back over her shoulder at the cheering
delegates.

FROM LUXURY TO NECESSITY
Electric Plants and Automobiles Show Profit on the Fa

When the automobile was first pre-
scented to the farmer he bought it. if he
bought it at all, as a pleasure vehicle.
Now he is buying automobile trucks to
do his hauling. Government figures
SHOWS that as an average all over the
United States il costs IS cents to haul
a ton of farm products a mile with 2
motor truck where it costs 80 cents to
maui ton of products a mile with
horses
With this opportunity of reducing
his hauling cost so per cent it is only
natural that the farmer should be turn
ing TO the motor truck as means of
getting his produce into town.
This matter of hauling is only one of
the thing in which the farmer is be-
ginning to consider very carefully the
cheapest way of doing anything. He
has come TO realize that every hour he
spends in doing unproductive labor
means an increase in the cost Of pro-
duclng his yearly crop and hence a de-

THE enemies of Mr. Bryan claim
that the San Francisco convention has
ended him as a political figure. 1t isn't
true. You cannot keep a good man
down. Mr.. Bryan stood for the living
principles of Justice and honesty and
good government, and as these prin-
clpieS are undying, so he also lives a,
long as he advocates them. The tenn
perance people of this country should
not forget Mr.. Bryan's stand for pro-
hihition. He was the one courageous
outstanding figure who was brave
enough TO fight and DEFY the liquor
interests, and had it not been for him
we verify believe that the convention
would have adopted a wet plank in its
platform. 1t is true that his dry
plank was rejected, but it must also he
