Credential Examination,
Initial Event, Begins
Late in Day.

San Francisco, Calif.. June 25.-
This was arrival day for delegates
to the Democratic national conven-
tion. The first great in-rush be-
gan early IN the morning and con-
tinued all day with the weather man
taking vigorous part In the receiv-
ing. He produced another clear,
cool, comfortable day. A light sea
breeze, cooled by the fog that rolled
its masses far OF the coast, temper
ed the brilliant sunshine and stir
red the blood.
Among delegations reaching THAR
headquarters during the day were
those from New York, from North
Carolina, Montana. Missouri, Ala
bama, and Pennsylvania.
While they were getting settled at
their hotels the first formal scenes
OF the party rally were being staged
at the great municipal auditorium.
which the city had placed at the
risposal of its guests. National
!, committeeman were busy there
making up the temporary roll un-
der which the convention will or
ganize Monday.
Get Late Start.
The credential examination by the
national committee was begun late
| in the day and It will not be known
before the meeting opens whether
j, Senator Reed and his friends would
make q direct effort to pave the way
for his appearance on the conven-
tion floor armed with . proxy that
| would give him floor privileges.
Much interest Is attached to this
point because OF the senator's op-
| position to the administration q
policy throughout the treaty night
| IN. the senate. There was an evil
dent desire ON the part Of some
Headers to prevent. II possible, any
stirring Of those troubled waters
during the sessions.
Chairman Cummings Of the ma
tional committee, continued today
to receive platform proposals from
various sources for preliminary dis
cussion with leaders. Men who will
play important parts in this work
including William Jennings Bryan
and Senator Walsh Of Montana
were expected during the day. The
movement to put Senator Walsh
forward for permanent chairman Of
the resolutions committee instead
Of the convention seemed to have
gained impetus over night. Sena.
!, tor Glass of Virginia. previously had
been slated for the job.
Bring Up Irish Plank
Among platform proposals reach
ing Mr.. Cummings was one group Of
planks expressing the views Of q
coterie of leaders whose opinions
are certain to have weight. The
Irish question was the only one o1
q highly controversial nature de1lt
with In this suggestion, it was un-
derstood. In substance, the Irish
plank advocated by the leaders fol.
low the line of Irish reservation
resolutions put forward by Demo
cratic senators during the treaty
fight and pledged the party to in
struct American representatives In
the League Of Nations, when ap-
pointed, to bring up the Irish prob.
lem for adjudication by that body

BITING FLIES REDUCE
MILK PRODUCTION

Biting flies reduce milk production
among dairy cattle causing much suf-
fering, says DR.. wa. Riley, Of the
Minnesota experiment station. Un-
fortunately an ideal spray has not vet
been discovered. and those which have
proved fairly satisfactory the most
commonly recommended ingredients are
practically out of the market, because
of freight congestion and general
abnormal conditions. But a spray, of
which the ingredients should be readily
available and which has been found in
practice to give good satisfaction, is
made as follows:
One cake Of laundry soap in Il gallon
OF soft water. While boiling hot add
four gallons of crude oil and stir Wig
| orously until emulsitied The emulsion
can best he made by using the spray
pump to mix the ingredients. For ap-
plying it hand spray is convenient,
though the use of a bucket spray pump
is better.
For use. this spray should be diluted
with three parts of water and applied
to the animals twice a day, once in the
morning and again late in the after
noon,

Judgment for Plaintiff
Miss Lillian StenshOel Awarded $500
For Injuries Received Case tried
Twice in District Court.

In November, 1916, Miss Stenshoe]
in alighting from Great Northern
Railway Company train, fell and dis
located her knee and suffered other in
juries to her limb, as she claimed thru
the defendants negligence; she was con-
fined for treatment in Barnesville and
later sent to specialist in st. Paul for
treatment. The case was tried in Dis
trict Court in January, 1918. when a
verdict for $500 was given by the jury
in favor of the plaintiff. Miss Stems
hoel's attorney, J. A. Hendricks. of
CrookstOn. appealed the case to the
Supreme Court Oh the ground that the
verdict was insufficient, which appeal
was sustained by the Higher Court and
the case remanded for new trial with
the result that plaintiff obtained a YER
dict of $500 and costs. J. A. He'll
bricks, and w. E. Rowe, appeared as
attorneys for plaintiff in the last trial,
and 4. L. James and f. @. Hagen for
defendant railway company.
