CLARK STRONG
 FRENDSDECLA
FACT THAT MISSOURI IS RE- cARDED AS "PIVOTAL STATE" CITED IN FAVOR OF FORMER SPEAKER, KING SAYS.

Washington, June 20-Definite an ,ouncement that Champ Clark will he nlaced in nomination at the Demo- ,rotic national convection will make him formidable candidate for the narty standard bearer, his friends here declared today.
 Tho former speaker has held him .elf aloof from the preconvention for delegates, and therefore will not ,uffer from any bitterness which may develop between the partisions of the vor;ous avowed candidates for the nomination.
 Mir. Clark is in more favorable po- sition as a rallying point for the dele pates in the event of deadlock than even Vice President Marshall, it is felt here. The Missourian has antag- onized nobody, while the vice presi- dent has alienated the Irish vote, it is declared by politicians in the capi- tai. by his declaration that the Irish uroblem is "none of our business"
 The "wet" element in the conven- ton also expected to oppose Mar shall because of his declaration, on his arrival in San Francisco, that ne will oppose any effort to inject the liquor question into the platform de- Alterations.
 Senator King, (Democrat) of Utah, was especially enthusiastic over Clark and chances for his nomination. He said:
 "From all parts of the country l have expressions of opinion showing the availability of MT. Clark. He. is regarded as highly important, if not dominating figure in Democratic politics. Many think he was robbed of the presidency in 1912 through the defection of Bryan and that now his day has come. Many strong influences would support his candidacy.
 Missouri is regarded as a doubtful as we'll as a pivotal state, and MT. Clark is looked upon as the best means to wrest it decisively from Repub- lican control and place it in the Demo- cratic Column. His fine record for progressive legislation should rally the liberal forces to his support while the old line Democrats justly regard him as safe and sane upholder of the Jeffersonian doctrines.
 "The nomination of MT. Clark would greatly reduce the danger of serious defection in the Democratic ranks in case third party appeared"

WAREHOUSES; IN
 s. CAROLINA
MORE THAN 300 HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN STATE, cor TON TO BE WAREHOUSED UN- DER ARKANSAS PLAN"

The warehouse building campaign of the American Cotton Association is we'll advanced in South Carolina, un- der the direction of the State Division of the Association, according to D. c. Welty, general manager of the Ark ansas Division, who recently returned from meeting of the national Exc cutive Committee in Atlanta, Ga., and South Carolina, followed by trip of inspection through the eastern states of the cotton belt.
 More than 300 warehouses are built or are under construction in the state, MT. Welty says, and they will have a combined capacity sufficient to store 97 per cent of the total crop of cotton in South Carolina this fall. In, addi- tion to the new warehouse facilities, South Carolina planters will have the benefit of the services of licensed graders and classers. It is estimated that 95 per cent of the states crop this year will be graded and classed by experts.
 The crop will be warehoused under the "Arkansas Plan" which was ex- plained to the Atlanta convention by MT. Welty and J. R. Alexander of Scott, it's originators,, and which found instant favor because of its evident advantages both to growers and buy CTS of the staple. Under this plan, two samples are taken from each bale placed in the warehouse; one is re- tained at the warehouse office and the other is kept for reference at the state headquarters of the Association. The samples at headquarters are ar ranged by classes, and carry tags, showing from what bale they came. Thus, the buyer can supply his needs by simply visiting state headquarters and looking over the samples on dis play. He can then write or wire his bid to the owners of as many bales of each class as he desires, and the own CT will, if he finds the price suitable, withdraw his cotton from storage and ship it.
 The buyer is safe in buying in this manner because he knows that the cotton has been properly protected in the Association warehouse, and he has the great advantage of being able to fill his entire need without visiting many growers in all parts of the state : The system, at the same time, pre- sents an advantage to even the small est grower, because he thus is given an opportunity to secure bids from
 even the biggest buyers.

Drowned at Brownsburg

An atmosphere of tragedy hovered
over the little hamlet of Brownsburg
Friday evening after the drowning
of six-year-old Leola Adams, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl B. Adams,
of that community.
The little girl with her brother,
Earl, Jr., had left the schoolhouse of
the village and ran across the road
to slide on the ice of pond directly
opposite. The thin ice gave way
under their weight and the children
sank in the water. The timely efforts
of a passerby, John Daniels, who was
attracted to the scene by the cries of
other children watching the unfor-
tunate victims, saved Earl from the
cruel fate that snuffed out the life of
his sister. He was revived by a
neighboring physician, and immedi-
ately upon regaining consciousness
asked after the welfare of his sister,
whose body was recovered from the
pond by neighbors.
The Adamses moved into Bucks
county several years ago from Mer-
chantville, N. j., formerly having re-
sided in Trenton, where Mrs. Adams
lived before her marriage. Her
maiden name being Miss Mary E,
Morgan.

The heavy ice from the upper Della
ware river started to flow past New
Hope on Sunday last. Between 3:45
and 4:45 P. M. the heaviest ice came
past and almost during the hour the
river was covered with the enormous
cakes which made it appear like
great field of snow from a little dis
tance away. Some of the time it was
estimated the ice was three feet in
thickness. By night fall the river was
comparatively clear with the excep-
tion of few scattered pieces. The
rise was about 121a feet, but so far
as is known it all passed out with
little damage to any one. A few
of the canoes went down, left on the
banks, no doubt, by thoughtless own
ers. Many people moved from their
Easements, fearing a greater rise.
