HOW DEADLOCK
AT LAST ENDED

ent that the lines were going to
hold. The Cox lines did hold stoutly
in the face of two breaks to McAdoo
one from Indiana and another from
Washington. They came back IN
some other delegations soon. Palmer
sentiment was rather tagging when
the sudden rush of votes to the At
torney Generals column gave it a
sudden rise late in the day and his
supporters were taking now on new
heart.
There was no evidence during the
day of any plans which would assure
that the convention could finish its
work during the night. The three
candidates had run a wide range IN
the balloting. Palmer, starting out
at 256, fell as low as 144 in the sec
ond and by the thirty-sixth had got
ten back to 241.
Cox was at his lowest with "a IN
the first ballot. His high mark was
468 in the nineteenth.
By the thirty-sixth, he had sagged
down to 377.
McAdoo, startin govt with a lead
was zoo on Jne lfSI DdllOI. IVA oOOii
took the first place. However by the
ballot, McAdoo was mo-
only back in first place, but had
struck a high water mark of 421 IL.
In the Seth he was at 389.
During the recess the Cox people
went into a conference. There was
a pronosal in the air to see if the
New York delegation could not be
swung to the Palmer column
The report which went with the
story of the conference was that if
the search for dark horse were un-
availing the Cox strength might be
thrown to the Palmer column. This
of course, was dependent on convinc-
ing the Cox managers that they mao
struck their limit in the balloting.
The forces went in session yester-
day morning with predictions on ev-
cry hand that a nominee would soon
be found. Large bets were laid that
the convention would nominate with
in an hour and half. But such poor
progress was made that a vote was

Capt. Guess, S. A., Back
From New York Trip

Captain Luella. Knox, of the Sal
walton Army, returned Friday even
ing from Savannah, where she went
earlier in the week by automobile, to
meet Captain Guess who had spent
two weeks in New York during the
graduation of her niece, Miss Flor
ence Jones, from the Salvation Army
training school there. Accompanying
Captain Knox on the trip were Mrs.
Robert Miller and Misses Evelyn and
Lulu Miller, of Americas,
Miss Jones, who spent some time
in Americas last year, will arrive on
Monday for visit of two weeks. She
has been commissioned a lieutenant
in the Salvation Army and assigned
to Chattanooga, Tenn.

lots the floor was flooded with re
ports of coming changes to McAdoo.
For some reason or other time was
being given between ballots and it
was used for conference among dele
cation leaders. The anti-McAdoo peo-
pie were closely watching Indiana
and making inquiries about the hall
II It were true that McAdoo had au-
tnorlzed a withdrawal on his behalf.
NO such report could be traced to any
responsible source.
During the wait the aisles were
damned with delegates and leaders
with their heads together in punches.
Inc report came out of the crowd
that the twenty ninth Indiana would
throw twenty-nine of her total of
thirty to McAdoo.
Moore, manager for Cox, heard of
the reported situation in Indiana and
sent word to all his war horses to
stand pat and refuse to swept off
their feet.
The convention went into the
twenty-ninth ballot with an air of
suppressed expectation. On the
tWenty-ninth ballot as forecast Indi
ana threw twenty nine to McAdoo,
Tom Taggart cast the vote and for a
moment the McAdoo crowd was stun
ned. Then catching it's breath it set
out to make an uproar.
Judge Moore, of Youngstown, O.
the Cox manager, viewing the demon
stration without evidence of alarm
said:
"All right, we'll still have fifty
votes the best of McAdoo when the
ballot closes"
A McAdoo man nearby remarked
that Moore had just lost $500 betting
on the early nomination of Cox.
The McAdoo crowd got a lot of
state standards in their procession
and left about half of them at their
places. The demonstration was rather
a tired one. 1t semed as if everybody
had demonstrated himself to exhaus-
ton in the roaring spectacle of last
week and had little energy left.

Then Palmer picked up four move
votes in Illinois, taking from both
McAdoo and Cox. Kentucky having
previously cast one vote for Miss
Laura Clay, cast one for Miss Cora
Wilson Stuart. The Kentucky dele
cation was giving complimentary
presidential votes to Kentucky wo-
men. Palmer made gain of one in
Massachusetts. Montana, which had
been giving McAdoo eight straight,
gave three to Palmer. Then the At
torney General picked up four more
in South Dakota and one In Virginia.
He lost. however, one and half IN
Washington. In return he picked
ND three in Wisconsin. Then, after
the 36th ballot on motion Of Fred
B. Lynch, of Minnesota, the conven-
ton recessed.
When the afternoon Jaliotlng was
in the closing stage, the Palmer boom
was taking an upward excursion-ln
fact the first it had enjoyed since it
took the slip in the twelfth ballot Sat
urday. The McAdoo votes had TAX
en- the leading place from the Cox
votes and the Cox column had finally
regained some of it's strength. When
the session ended at recess for sup
per, the principal contenders were
probably closer together than they
had been for a long time and if it
meant anything it meant that the
deadlock was little tighter.
The McAdoo people tried to ex-
plain the Palmer rise by saying it
really was an excursion to carry the
Attorney General as far as he could
go. They declared the Cox people
had done the same thing and had
failed to put their man over. When
the Palmer and Cox booms had both
been given a "joy ride" to use the
language of the McAdoo managers
it was the plan of the McAdoo people
to begin a new drive for the Presi-
dents son-in-law.
Hopes and prospects that the con-
vention might nominate during the
day went glimmering soon after it
got down to business. 1t was appar-

HEAVY CONSUMPTION

Big Increase Shown in Figures

Largest Percentage Of Material Used
Was Fine, Which Has q High
Grease Content and Accounts
for High Figure Given.

The present year promises to estab-
fish record for wool consumption, II
the amount consumed In January Is an
indication. According to figures Of the
bureau of markets, United States de-
partment Of agriculture. 72,700,O00
poundes Of virgin wool, grease equlva-
lent, were consumed by manufacture
ers in the United States In January,
compared with 9S,2OO,OOO pounds for
the corresponding month In 1919 and
100000 pounds IN January, 1918.
The amount consumed was more
than the monthly average for either
1918 or 1919 and higher than airy
month since May, 1918. The largest
percentage OF wool used was fine,
which has high grease content and
is, no doubt, partially responsible for
these high figures. At the same time
II continues to reflect the pubiic's In
sistence for fabrics composed Of fine
woods. the consumption Of fine wool
being the largest reported for any
month since the Inauguration of the
monthly wool consumption report by

The percentages of grades used are
as follows: Fine, 33 per cent; one
half blood. IS per cent; three-eighths-
blood. II per cent. one-fourth-blood,

or in the border.
Your father or grandfather or some

from which the birds have scattered
seeds in ell directions along streams
and IN wood lots. You may have ac-

any rate, look over your property
carefully for barberries. II you End
any, dig them and report the number
and location either to your agriculture

ton work can check back to see that

no sprouts were left in the ground.
Many Roots Missed.
Even with the most careful digging
many small roots doubtless have been
missed. Seeds, too. may have been
shaken Off and covered by loose earth.
Many of these no doubt will sprout
during the spring and summer. The
tender leaves of sprouts or seedlings
are even more likely to become infect
ed with wheat rust than leaves OF ma

located. All reports Of country plant
ings have been followed up. Surveys
OF all rural properties completed in
