WASHINGTON, June 22.-The
nomination of Warren G. Harding
apparently has been a "life saver"
for his senatorial colleague, Boies
Penrose of Pennsylvania. News
of Harding's selection by the con-
vention did more to chirk Boies up
than all the tonics and nostrums the
MDs have been able to prescribe dur
ing the past three months.
One recent story out of Washing
ton, limiting that Penrose's ''indispo-
sition" has been political rather
more than physical, said that if the
old guard-senatorial group was beat
en- at Chicago then Penrose would in
deed be sick man. Certainly the
reverse result-the nomination of a
candidate favorable to the old guard
senatorial party leaders-had quickly
curative results. A dispatch from
Philadelphia within six hours of
! Ha"ding's nomination stated that the
Big Boss-who had been reported
at the verge of death during the fight
and the first day of balloting at Chi
cago-was 'up and about" and able
to joke over how the "news" of his
condition had been played.
The reports that he had been very
low" Penrose said, were "very anus

TONIGHT AT MEETING
(By Associated Press.)


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 6.-Radical
reduction of the cotton acreage in
every state where the staple is grown

age in cotton's place of something that
man or beast can eat are the objects

everything else but cotton. and to
bring this forcibly before them a cam

ness and financial men and all the

lend their cooperation in one big eff
fort for the welfare and benefit of the
southern people.

UNCHANGED GERMAN
BOURGEOIS AT HALLE

HALLE, Germany. Dec. 6.-The old,
rich, propertied German aristocracy
has held its own through war and revo-
luton here as perhaps in no other
part of the new republic Great es-
tates and n1mberless tenants, huge
factories and famous salt mines, keep
the pre-war customs and conditions
virtually unchanged. DE-.
Only the flaming posters OF Boil
shevism and the placards calling

dictate that the spirit of unrest Is
working for the overthrow Of the
old order. The very fact that condi-
tions here are much the same as they
were before the war apparently has
contributed to the intensity with which
the radicals have begun their cam
paign for "a dictatorship of the pro-
letariat".
Farmers Now Rich
The shops are filled with select
foods and fine clothes, but the prices
are very high, and wages still are low
The shopkeepers say their trade is al

prosperity through the changes fol-

enough to buy necessaries.
German communists refer to Halle
as "The Red Heart Of Germany, and
say the issue between the bourgeoise
and the proletariat is here more clear
ly drawn than even in the more con-
servative sections of Prussia. The

The Chenoweth company started
business five years ago with part or
