ROOSEVELT HITS
AT PORCH" PLAN
Democrat Says Party Is
Pledged to Protect In
tereStS of All.

FARGO. n. D., August Is (by the
Associated Press).-In his first address
in North Dakota. Franklin D. Roose-
welt declared here today that the demo-
cratic party, if elected, pledges itself
to seek a solution of the problems
that will serve the best interests of the
producer and the-great consuming pub
lie.
Il am particularly glad to read that
the porch campaign of the republicans
is breaking down." Mr. Roosevelt said,
land that Senator Harding has now
condescended to make five whole
speeches away from home.
1.-The theory of the democratic cam
paign is. of course, just the contrary.
Our candidates are trying not merely
to carry the campaign to the country,
but to find out what the country is
thinking.
This difference in attitude of mind
extends to the way in which the leaders
of the two parties handle all public
that big national problems ought to
be settled from a national point of
view. and ought not to be undertaken
by mere gathering in Washington
of half a dozen old-line leaders, who
do not know the country and who
represent the kind of things that
Penrose of Pennsylvania, Lodge of
Massachusetts. Root of New York, and
others of that group advocate. who
were in control of the Chicago con-
vention, and who would be in control
of your government if a republican
President is elected.
For instance, you people out here
have long been concerned with the
problem of food production and
marketing. You appreciate, I hope.
the danger of the control of this
question by men who are friends of
the packers. by friends of big bank
ers. and by friends of the eastern
middlemen. A solution by them will
bring you back to conditions of ten
or fifteen years ago.
1.-The democratic party is controlled
by no such gang. If elected. we pledge
ourselves to seek a solution of the
problems that will serve the best in
terests of the producers and the great
consuming public. the two, after all,
who are vitality concerned"

nitric acid which Is easily procured

indefinitely in bottle having a glass
stopper. The method is equally sim

enough TO cause wax to adhere to II in
a thin film. Scratch the name with
some sharp-pointed instrument quite

ORIGIN or CITATION CORD
French Tradition Say II Was Con-
ferred for Bravery Under Ex-
ceptlonaI circumstances.

According to French tradition, the
citation cord originated centuries ago,
when the soldiers of q certain COM
pany that had mutinied were to be
hanged. Before the sentence could be
carried out the French were attacked,
and the condemned men were called
on TO aid in the defense. They went
into action, so 10 speak, with halters
around their necks; but they fought
with such supreme bravery that they
were pardoned, and thereafter each
man was permitted to wear as badge
Of honor, and as a token Of suffering
and herolsm, a knotted cord round
his shoulder.
The origin OF the citation cord can
be explained In more logical way If
one examines ancient pictures, which
show that shoulder cords can be traced
back 10 simpler conditions until they
appear merely as metal tipped laces
TO bear the weight of certain pieces
of armOr. Such laces appeared in
pairs on both shoulders; they have
survived in the aigulette Of the mod
ern officers dress uniform.
AS armor began to he discarded
piece by piece, paintings of the period
show, laces to support the arm pieces,
since they were no longer needed,
were looped about the shoulders and
became merely marks that dis
tinguished the wearer as high in the
order or nall4Ary dignity.
