80 MEN SPEEND
z DAYS UNDER
The ATLANTIC
Small Buoy, Invention of
War, Proves Their
Salvation

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a ra-
dio message flashed from the army
transport General Goethals to the
Philadelphia navy yard today said
the officers and crew of the sub
marine S-5 were rescued shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock this morning after they
had spent nearly two whole DAYS
locked in the disabled vessel beneath
the Atlantic 55 miles south of Cape
Henlopen.
Lieutenant Commander C. M
Cook was the last man to leave the
submarine and be taken aboard the
steamship AtIanthus, nine hours af-
ter the plight of the vessel was made
public through a wireless call pick
ed up by an amateur operator at
Pennington, Conn.
1t was small buoy, development
of the world war that attracted at
tention of the lookout on the trans
port General Goethals and gave the
thirty men on the submarine their
chance for life. The buoy was
equipped with bell and buzzer. A
small boat from the transport ran
alongside the buoy, an officer cut in
to connection and got a message
from the submarine, then the plea
was sent broadcast by the General
Cocktails wireless.
The radio was received by David
L. Moore, who has a wireless outfit
at his home in Pennington. 1t read as
follows: "On board u. S. S. General
Goethals at sea, Sept. 2. Send de-
stroyers with gear to relieve crew in
submerged submarine SIS. Been in
this condition thirty-f;ve hours.
Bring material for cutting through

Roads Seek Raise In

ATLANTA, Sept 3.-Application
has been made to the State Railroad
commission by all the steam roads
in Georgia for a reconsideration of
that part of the commissions recent

per cent increase in freight rates all
cotton, linters and brick. The COM

RYL.oRRY IACoRs

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-If James
NJ. Cox and the Democratic party ex-
pect to carry the west, Governor Cox
must show himself in an extensive
way. He must conduct thorough
and vigorous campaign.
The west is in an extremely recep-
tive attitude toward the Democratic
candidate for president. But
Times without number, while
have stood among audiences that
have heard Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Democratic candidate for the vice
presidency on his tour Though the
Middle West and Northwest ] have
heard these two sentences:
eve sort like Harding bac W.
don't know Cox"
"We don't like Harding and we
don't know Cox"
There is but one word different
in those two sentences but that one
word spells great deal.
The first sentence-"We don't like
Harding but we don't know Cox"
comes from a great mass of people
who are not Democrats, Republicans
or Progressives. The sentence means
that thew. the Independent voters Of
the west for whom the greater part
of every campaign in that section of
America is conducted, are certain in
their disapproval of the Republican
candidate. It also means, that they
want to see Cox before they go to
the polls. .,
The second sentence-"We don't
like Harding AND we don't know
/ Cox" comes almost entirely frcm the
months of a somewhat smaller but
far more closely associated group
the Progressives of the west who still
cling to the memory of I. K.
That sentence means: "There are
objections to both men, as far as we
are concerned. We want to see them
BOTH"
It is often said that "Progressives
can't but choose Cox and Roosevelt
because of the reactionary tenden-
cies of Harding"
But have found that the Progress
sives of the west are not convinced
and will not be convinced that Cox
holds views acceptable to them until
they see and hear him.
It is true that Roosevelt on his tour
has literally made thousands of
friends; that his League of Nations
arguments have been effective; that
he stands high even in the Republi-
can communities; but that is not
enough. =.
The west wants to be "shown"
convinced that Cox is its kind of
man; that his principles are its prin-
ciples.
The editor of an independent
newspaper in the Northwest express
ed the gist Of the situation in few
words:
"Tf neither candidate convinces us
as we should be convinced, we will
vote for the party whose candidate
for congressman or governor we like
/ best. "

NEED FOR STANDARD GRADES
Bureau Of Markets Notes Increasing
Interest in Uniform Grades for
Various Vegetables.

Increasing interest in uniform
grades for fruit and vegetables is noted
throughout the country by the bureau
Of markets, United States department
of agriculture, as result Of the
work Of the food products inspection
service and the experience Of the past
two seasons, which demonstrated the
necessity of establishing definite stand
ards.
The need for national standard
grades and their value is shown by the
fact that the grades for potatoes, made
compulsory during the war, are still in
wide use, although the regulations
making them compulsory were can
celed after the armistice.
Investigations of the grading Of to-
matoes, cabbage and some other vege-
table crops are now under way and
the bureau of markets states that rec
concentrations for grade specifications
may be made in time for use next sea-
son.

After two years of practical opera
ton Of the tuberculosis-free accredited
herd plan, a joint committee repre-
senting the pure-bred cattle associa-

Sanitary association has unanimously
decided that no steps should be taken
to lower the high STANDARD Of the
present plan.
It was decided that no herd should
be accredited if it contains a tuber-
cular animal, male or female. 1t
was agreed by the joint committee, to
show that owners are exerting an ef-
fort to exterminate the disease, that
a supplementary list be made to the
accredited herd list to contain the
names Of the owners of pure-bred
herds that are free from tuberculosis
on two annual tests but, in which the
herd bull reacts. Such herd will
not receive an accredited herd GER

under certain conditions.
