Earl Winning, age 70, was near the

Thornton lad could not swim. After
he had fallen into the stream his
companion broke a dead branch from

San Francisco, July 2.---The con
Vention was called to order at to:37
coast time, and Chairman Carter
Glass of the resolutions committee
began the reading Of the plat form
amid great applause.
He condemned the republicans bit.
terIy and declared the democrats en-.
dorsed the presidents view Of inter
national obligations.
A great cheer arose when Chair.
man Glass announced that the dem
ocrats demanded the ratification Of
the League Of Nations.
BRYAN LAYS PLANS
While Senator Glass was reading
the platform Bryan and Richmond
p. Hobson conferred beneath the
rostrum on their dry plank fight. It
is understood that their dry strate-
gy provides that Hobson will offer
an amendment to the report OF the
resolutions committee in order to
close the door against possible sub
stitutes for amendment by the vets.
It is explained that Bryan would
then offer a substitute for tae Hob
son amendment embodying "bone
dry" plank. It is understood that
Bryan is prepared to speak for an
hour on his dry demands and II is
indicated that he would be guided
by the situation Of the moment and
that he might finally decide TO offer
minority report If it appeared to
be the proper plan.
AS Glass continued speaking, 5ry-
an, having apparently finished his
con terence with Hohson, tried to
sleep on an improVsed bed made of
three chairs beneath the platform.
He is evidently wearied by his Iona
fight in The resolutions committee
sessions and feels the need Of recu
peration before launching into his
speech before the convention,
In the meantime Irish leaders
were holding conference about the
matter of taking the fight for Irish
'reedom to the floor Of the conven-
ton.

San Francisco, July 1.-The plat
form as reported by the resolutions
committee leaves out the wet and
dry issue. Both the light wine and
beer plank and the Bryan plank were
turned down by the committee.
Tho Bryan plank merely called for
the effective enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment
The Irish plank, as reported by
the committee. is merely an express
sion of sympathy for the Irish peo-
pie.
The labor plank is virtually the
same as that which was written by
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation or Labor
Immediate ratification Of the trea
ty without impairing reservations is
advocated.
The convention met at 10 o'clock
today, coast time.
The report of the resolutions com
mittee was to be made at that time,
and following its adoption the bal
loting for the nomination was slated
to start.

the candidates have sufficient
strength to win, unaided. indica-
lions are today.
The best that McAdoo can expect
is barely 600 votes, or more than 100
short of the nomination. Palmer is
expected to attain an individual
strength of around 800 and Cox
around 400. Many of the second

vldcd among the other two. It viii,

before any other candidate can oh

Indications today were that Nc.
Adoo would lead from first ballot.
Palmer is slated to run second and
Cox third in the first balloting. BY
the fifth ballot it is expected Pal
mer will reach his limit. In case any
of the three favorites are eliminated,
Davis has the best chance.

similar feeds that have a strong odor
or flavor should be fed after milk
ing, and all uneaten food should be
removed from the trough. Some goat
breeders make it a practice to gather
leaves in the fall, and store them
for winter use. This is to be rec
commended especially to suburban
families who may have difficulty
otherwise in securing a sufficient
amount of roughage. The goats eat
the leaves readily, and the material
is also very useful as bedding. If
only one or two goats are kept tbs
refuse from the kitchen, such as
potato and vegetable parings, cab
bage leaves, and waste bread, may
be used for feed: A good supply
rock salt should be kept where the
animals can reach it whenever they
wish.
Ir purchasing milk goats it is
much more satisfactory to observe
the does during their 1actation pc
ricd. This gives the buyer an on
portunity to study their conforma-
ton when they are producing, and
the udder development, which is very
important, can be better considered.
Generally speaking, the marks and

thorities say that a good goat will

The esteem in which the milk is
held by those who have used it is
indicated by the fact that it often
retail at SO cents a quart. Goats
milk can be utilized in all ways that
cows milk can, although for some it
is not so well suited. For general
use, for drinking, cooking and in tea
and coffee the milk has proved very
satisfactory. 1t is not good, however,
as a butter-making material. Good
butter can be made from goats milk,
but the operation presents SOME diff
fculty due to the fact that the cream
rises very slowly. Cheese made from
goats milk is very popular.
Most of the feeds that are valua-
bic for the production of milk by
dairy cows are also suitable for does.
lily is that smaller quantity of
feed is required by a milk goat than
by a cow. 1t is ordinarily consid-
cred that from six to eight does can
be kept on the feed required fol

they should be allowed all the rough
age that they can consume, such as
corn slower. They should also re-
