Blacksmith Says
 He's Champion of
 'POssum Catchers

Commerce, Tex, Jan. 24-J. w. Martin, blacksmith and possum hun ter of this city, claims the record for catching possums in one night. He also claims to have captured the dad dy of all possums in the vicinity.
 According to Martin, who decided to go possum hunting one night re- gently, he confined his activities to little clump of trees near his farm In short time he caught seven big fat possums. Thinking that he had caught enough for one evening, he started home.
 Just then his dog set up won derful tune and would not be "called off" from tree. So Martin went to the dog.
 He climbed the tree and from one of the limbs took a possum which weighed 25 pounds, the biggest one ever seen in this section. Martin had to take the monster possum home and then return for the seven smaller ones. He declares that pos sum hides are selling at from $15C to S2.25 each and that his eight pos sum hides will bring him about $15 More than that possum meat has a tendency to lower the cost of living According to reports Martin dispos- ed of his seven small possums fol 50 cents each. The large one he bak- ed with potatoes for Christmas din npr

Ends Life; Leaves
 $75,0O0 to Tenant

Lincoln, Neb. Jan. 24.--Joe Boh- mont of Martel was a tenant on the sarm of Lonzo Sucker, and when Stuckey got tired of life and ended 1t with shotgun, Belmont realized that he had been made suddenly rich over night.
 Lorenzo Stuckey had accumu- lated property valued at from $75,- 900 to $100,00o. He hade no debts. and to Joe Bohmont, the tenant, with big family, was left every dollar of it.
 Stuckcy left letter addressed to Belmont in which he told him of his good fortune. Stuckey was a bachelor 70 years old.
 "Jot, when you find me dead, take me to the graveyard and bury me, and keep up the lot and the grave, and some time buy tombstone, not too costly" said the letter. "All that I have got is willed to you, and you are made eXccutor. l want you to have it for what you have done for me, and for being kind to me. l have no kinfolks or anyone who can lay claim against what l have got. 1 have no debts except what 1 owe you Keep this, goodbye, Joe"
 Stuckey, besides owning the farm in Nebraska, and two big farms in Colorado, had thousands of dollars in the bank. He also held $l,000 worth of Liberty bonds. He came to Nebraska from Missouri 80 years ago.

Flock to Hall Early.

Auditorium, San Francisco. Calf,
June oS-Thirty minutes before the
hour set for the opening of the conven-
ton, the brass band beside the organ
loft was playing popular airs and the
delegates were beginning to trail into
the hall They stood about in groups
discussing candidates and issues. None
of the convention officials or leaders
had arrived at that hour aud the ex-
pectatiOn was that, as is the case with
all conventions, it probably would be
late in starting.
A supply of California redwood
gavels made from the celebrated Burl>
of the redwood trees were brought to
the platform ready for use. Official
photographers and movie men were
busy looking for notables with little
success. Women composed II great part
of the spectators in the visitors gal
lcrics. The song leaders also were on
the job early all primed with material.
Political parodies on popular airs
were printed on leaflets and were scat
tered among the delegates and visitors.
Fair goods ushered the women dele
gates to their seats and the men most
ly took their chances on finding their
own seats.
Flowers and California fruits were
all through the hall.

Arthur II. Folwell in Leslie's: An
investigation of plumbers wage de-
mands (thcy asked $12 day. by the
allied civic clubs of Birmingham, Ala.
disclosed some highly up-to-date details.
Quoting from u news dispatch:
Master plumbers of Birmingham are
required to furnish chauffeurs to drive
union plumbers to and from work, and
the chauffeurs are not permitted to do
any plumbing Sixty-scvcn journcymen
plumbers dominate the plumbing work
of the city. The use of apprentices in
union shops is forbidden with view to
restricting the number of plumbers
available, and unskillcd labor is not
permitted to work on plumbing jobs,
even where no skill is required"
Not closed shop, you will perceive,
but an hcrmitically sealed shop!

OIL PROSPECTS
GOOD; DEVELOP
MENT is POOR
(By The Associated Press. }


Bucharest, June 2S.-Despite the
heavy speculation in oil land and oil
property now going on in Rumania, ex-
pert oil men say that it will take at
least five years for this country to
properly develop such prospects. The
spectators are merely selling pros
pects to each other rather than de-
veloping the property.
The oil production in 1919 was 917,-
900 tons which was less than fifty per
cent of the pre-war production of the
oil fields. The amount of oil shipped
