The closing Of the Poindexter-for-
President headquarters In Oregon and
the probable bolt Of negro Republicans
In Ohio from the Harding machine be-
cause the Harding mon have failed to
recognize tho negro vote in the
Buckeye State by granting them at
least one delegate Of the forty-eight
were the big items Of interest at the
Leonard Wood campaign headquarters
in the Imperial Hotel yesterday.
The following telegram was received
by Representative Norman ]. Gould
from the Chicago headquarters.
Senator Poindexter has closed his
Oregon headquarters and quit his ef-
forts to take that state from Wood.
Wood will tour Oregon some time in
April"
General Woods managers seemed
much pleased over this advice, as it
tended to support the assertion both
by Colonel Proctor and Senator Moses,
OF the Wood campaign committee, that
Wood would have 800 delegates on the
first ballot. Colonel Proctor allocated
100 Of these delegates in the North
west. Oregon will select her ten dele
gates at primary to be held May 21.
I'VE are in receipt Of telegrams
every day now that fully justify the
claim of Colonel Proctor and Senator
Moses that we shall have the 800 on
the first ballot, and that the Wood
boom will not reach its high-water
mark until after the delegates gather
at Chicago" said Mr.. Gould.
Harding Rejected by Negroes

Ohio refused to give recognition tc

Cleveland Advocate" of which Ralph
w. Tyler, former Auditor of the Nav
under Roosevelt, is managing editor

ounced it's support of General Wood.
In the last two or three years there
have been large additions to the negro
voting population in all Of the LARGE
Ohio cities.
Representative Gould and Colonel
Miller received report by telephone
covering the greeting to General Wood

wishes, and. furthermore, to raise to
that dignity Richelieu's mortal enemy,

Richelieu was prevailed upon BY his
friends 20 make one last effort to pre-
vent the ruin which seemed ready to
fall on him. With this view he pro

There is no better test Of a mans

clerk who, living beyond his means
sought to make up the balance through

himself to the firms money.
The culprit was called into Mr.. Nor

He expected arrest. Instead ne was
told to go home and tell his wife all

said Mr.. Morgan, "see me again"
The clerk obeyed. and Mr.. Morgan

FINE "eRlDIRoN" At C0BLENz
American Soldiers Stationed There
Have Facilities for Almost
Every Kind Of Sport

Elaborate preparations were made at
Coblenz, Germany. for the football sea-
BON. Grounds and stadlums which were
only partly finished a year ago have
been made permanent playing fields.
and many Of them compare favorably
with the best college gridirons In the
United States.
The most deliberately finished ground
Is in Coblenz, known as Carnival Is
land" It was on this ground that the
Third army championships were de-
cfded last season. but the ground at
that time was not In as good con-
dition as II is today. Neither were
there proper facilities. such as dress
ing rooms.
At this island there are now two reg
ular baseball fields. two football fields,
a golf course of nine holes. a polo
ground. quarter-mile cinder track,
with 220 yard straightaway, and out
door basketball courts. On another
part Is q ring for horse shows and nine
tennis courts.
Suitable bleachers to accommodate
5000 spectators have been built, and
there also are q large number OF prop
erly equipped dressing rooms with
showers. rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers. but
at Andernach, MorNabaur, and Neu-
wied the old grounds left by the A. y.
r. have been taken over by the 7. n.
C. A. and enlarged and remade IN

EASY TO RAISE BANDIT ARMY
Manuel Lozado Made Hunger His

Thereby Rose to Power.

Nayarit, gave the key to the whole
Mexican problem by his strategy IN or
guniz!ng armies. declares Charles
Johnston. in The Atlantic. Lozado
was notable because he waged war
against three presidents. Benito
Juarez. Lerdo de Tejada and Porhrio
Diaz, and because he raised and
equipped armies Of poems strong
enough to attack great citier like Tepic
and Guadalajara. in a struggle lasting
from 1870 to 1877.
II was Lozado's custom. when q new
campaign against the central authori-
ties was in contemplation, to send his
bodyguard down from their lairs in the
high Sierras to the fertile plains. with
orders to cut down all banana plants,
thus destroying the chief food supply
Of the native villages.
The poems starved for a while, and
watched their women and children
starve, then they came up the noun
tains in a body and begged Lozado to
enroll them In his army Of bandits to
lead them forth to plunder, which for
them meant simply food.
This gives q clew to the situation,
declares Mr. Johnston, because 1t
shows that banditry and plunder are
the last resources Of hungry poems,
pressed beyond the verge when their
mesper sustenapce Is cut of.

WHEN TO QUIT ADVERTISING

When the grasshopper ceases to hop
And the cows quit bawllng.
When the fishes no longer flop
And the baby stops squalling.
When the dunner no longer duns
And the boot owls quit hooting.
When the rivers cease to run,
And the burglar stops his looting.
When the vine no longer twines,
And the skylark stops his larking.
When the sun no longer shines
And the young men quit sparkling.
When the heavens begin TO drop,
And the old maids stop advising.
Then-it is time to shut up shop
And quit your advertising.
