Chairman Benson announced tonight.
 Hearings will be held before the full board on recommendations to the inter- state commerce committee under the preferential rate section of the merchant marine act.
 On recommendation of the board, the commission last summer suspended the laws operation to January to permit a survey as a basis for recommendations. While this survey has not been fully completed, Chairman Benson said, it was probable preferential rates would be made effective immediately in number of ports.
 Application of this section of the act las been opposed by foreign shipping interests, particularly lines operating on the Pacific coast Chairman Benson has declared, however, that lower rail rates for rail cargoes would aid in developing the merchant marine.

Suggestions for Hog Breeders

This is the season of the year
when a little work along sani-
tary lines and proper care and
attention to the feeding and
management of hogs will pre-
vent large percentage of loss
from hog cholera and other di-
seases of swine. Farmers should
make every effort to keep their
hogs in good health, free from
conditions that lower their re-
sistance and make them more
susceptible to disease, says ami
NAL husbandry specialists of the
Division of Extension.
Hogs kept In clean quarters
with good feed, fresh water, suf-
ficient amount of mineral matter
free from lice. mango, worms
and other conditions caused by
unsanitary pens and yards, it is
pointed out are better able to re-
sist hog cholera and losses aae
not so heavy should an outbreak
occur.
Special attention should be
given the sows at farrowing
time. Clean and frequently dis
infected pens kelp materially in
procuring good litters of strong
healthy pigs. Hog cholera spreads
easily and travels in different
ways from farm to farm. At
first signs of sickness in the
herd a competent veterinarian
should be called. The county
agricultural agent will be of help
in giving advice concerning the
latest methods in preventing
this disease. Jackson county
having no agricultural agent, any
information desired on hog chol-
err can be obtained by writing
the Division of Extension, Uni
versity of Tennessee. Knoxville,
Tenn In preventing losses
and controlling cholera it is of
Importance that its presence be
determined promptly. Anti-hog
cholera serum is the only pre-
ventative treatment known at
the present time. This must be
used early to save the hogs and
control the outbreak.
Other recommendations made
by specialists for the care of
hogs during this season of the
year are free use of pasturage,
red clover, rape, oats and alfalfa
being good for this purpose;
sowing of sorgham broadcast.
80 to 100 pounds per acre up to
June Is which will carry 8 to IL
hogs per acre during July and
August; planting of more corr
and soybeams which will make
good late summer and fall feed
Shade should be provided in hot
weather. Pigs should be kept
free from lice. All sows anC
quilts should be safely bred by
June Is for fall pigs. Keep ac
curate breeding records ant
dates.

REPUBLICANS NOMINATE
SENATOR HARDING OF
OHIO FOR PRESIDENT.

&. Harding, United States Sena-
tor from Ohio, was nominated
for the presidency today by the
Republican national convention
after a deadlock which lasted for
nine ballots and which finally
forced out of the running all the
original favorites.
AS his running mate, the con-
vention named Governor Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts, up
setting the plan Of combination
of the Harding hackers to nomi-
nate for the place Senator Irvine
L. Lenroot. of Washington.
The collapse of the forces of
Governor Frank o. Lowden and
their transfer in large part to
Senator Harding put the Ohio
candidate over.
General Wood lost heavily
however, when the Harding
drift began, and Sanator john
son, the third of the trio of the
leaders on the early balloting
yesterday, also went steadily
downhill.
The final check up showed 6O2
for Harding, with only II left
supporting Lowden, Isl for
Wood and 80 for Johnson. At
their best, earlier in the day, the
Wood people had mustered 3l2
votes ard the Lowden forces 3II.
Johnson's high point was l48,
recorded on the second ballot.
w. J. Bryan has the following
to say of the Republican nomi-
nee:
Senator Harding fits the plat
form. He was one of the three
prominent reactionaries before
the convention. Big business
would have preferred Goveonor
Lowden, but the investigation
showed so large an investment
of his own money in the cam
paign and such a reckless use of
it that a.convention made up OF
a lot of representatives of the
corporate class even as bold as
these in this convention feared
to risk the issue before the peo-
pie. Senator Harding's record
is consistently standpat. 1t will
be remembesed that he belonged
to the Taft side of the contro-
versy with Roosevelt and presid-
ed at the convention which nom-
mated Justice Hughes while a
progressive convention was in
fession in another hall.
He will have Wall street with
him without the loss Of a man;
he will rally about him all of the
privilege hunters and the profit
GERS. His nomination with the
platform on which he runs will
make the Republican side of the
issue clear. There will be nc
Disgusting of the situation which
the voters have to meet.
Labor will be hostile to Sena-
tor Harding and his platform.
The Democratic party has q
great opportunity if it will i'm
prove it. Some party must take
the peoples side if the Demo
cratic party does not. the Social
ist party and the newly organic
ed labor party will have a large
summers growth.
And it may be added, Mr.
Harding's attitude on the liquor
question, coupled with silence OF
that subject In the platform
gives the Democratic party
Chance to draw a large numbe
of prohibition Republicans to tn.
Democratic standard. The SoutI
the Democratic South-led il
the prohibition fight: it now ha
a chance to help put the Demo
cratic party in position to ap
neal to the conscience of tn
nation as the guardian of tn
home.
The Democratic party has
chance of a lifetime and there
every reason to believe that
will the opportunity. The pee
ple may look to the Democrat
party for justice at home an
peace abroad.
