local Man Was Presiding Over First
District Caucus at State Con-
venton at Des Moines

chairman OF the first district caucus
in the state convention in Des

delegates were prominent in the
affairs of the meeting which noEli
mated N. e. Kendall of Abba, for
governor.
The Lee county delegation voted
seventeen for Deems on the first two
ballots. One of the delegates who is
home today said that the delegation
realized from the start that the Bur.
lington man had no chance, and
should have divided its votes on the
second ballot.
Instead, the Lee delegation held
together on the second vote, and then
on the third ballot split the vote,
with nine for Kendall and eight for
Deems. Several of the county dele
cations went to Des Moines with
strong personal convictions for Ken
dali.
The chairman's keynote speech was
praised by the Local men, especially
for its brevity. Kendall's speech from
the floor of the Coliseum was a splen-
did one, local delegates said. and
they were much impressed with the
man they said would make a fine
governor for Iowa"
Practically all of the delegation
will be home by tonight. Some II
the men returned this morning, others
stayed in Des Moines to come down
this afternoon.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The naval
blimp Gil fell from a height of 5000
feet into Jamaica bay, during the
yacht races today. The blimp was
carrying four naval officers and three
newspaper men, when the gas bag
started to leak.
Ballast was thrown over board in
an effort to make safe landing, but the
blimp was unable to make shore. Mo-
tor boats put out and rescued US after
we had been doused in the bay.
We set sail for the yacht races
from the naval airplane station about
12:15 p. m. and reached the starting
point with everything apparently o.
k. about fifteen minutes after the race
started.

as signing away all claims for damage
on boarding the flying boat. Having
been put in rickety airplane out in
Louisville during a state fair, 1 had
no fear of boarding the giant dirigi-
Bile, which had sailed so gracefully
over the yacht course during previous
days.
We were getting the wireless tele-
phone into operation to send messages
of the progress of the races to our
offices when Earl Dannals, radio ope-
rator, suddenly discovered the gas bag
was leaking and we were rapidly set
ting into the ocean
That's when we started to work.
Dannals sent out o S calls by wire

Dennis headed the blimp back toward

ballast was gone we threw over the

OF the newspaper men who had the
biggest feet was just getting ready to
unload his shoes when we started to

We fell so fast that it seemed as if
the water just came right up and
kissed us in the face. 1t was pretty
cold at first when we went under with
the basket, but we came right to the
top and motor boats put out from the
shore and picked us up.

Prominent Business Man Of This City
Succumbs to illness After Brave
Fight to Regain
Health.
WAS BORN HERE IN 1868
He Was Educated in keokuk Schools,
Went on the Road and Then
Entered Local Com
pany.

/ Last evening at 10 o'clock at the
family residence, 720 Fulton street
occurred the death of Frank o. Adam
son, treasurer of Schell-Demple Fur
|niture company, and who for many
years, was one of the prominent bust
ness men of Keokuk.
1 Mr.. Adamson had been in failing
Health for almost the past year, but
until about three months ago. He
had visited Rochester, Mimi, and 9th
er places in the hope of regaining his
health, but his efforts were unavail-
ling, and he became bedfast last Fri
day, from which time he declined
steadily until the end.
Frank 0. Adamson was born in
Keokuk august 8, 1868, and was the
/. son of Andrew and Annie Adamson.
He was educated in the public schools
of the city and then entered business
as travelling salesman for the John
". Farwell company of Chicago. He
was in the drapery and rug depart
ment of this concern for many years,
and through his craftsmanship on the
road gained a wide acquaintance
among the trade in the middle west
He left the Farwell company fourteen
years ago to become partner and
treasurer of the Schell-Demple Furni-
ture company, of which he was one of
the inl l2sp
lSpIendid Business Man.
Mr.. Adamson was a man of close
application to business and OF I'M
questionable integrity toward those
with whom he dealt. 1t was these
characteristics, together with his
broad knowledge of the furniture, rug
and drapery business, which tended
IN no small way to insure the success
|of the Schell-Demple Furniture COM
pany, and which brought it into it's
present standing as one of the largest
retail business in the city. Mr..
Adamson had the confidence of bust
ness men throughout the city, as well
as hundreds of customers, and was
always very courteous and unfailing
in the details of business. He re-
tanned his interest in the Schell-Dem-
pie company until shortly before his
death.
Mr.. Adawson was life long mem
Der of the Methodist church and was
also member Of the Swedish Aid
society and the Modern Woodmen. He
was married in 1888 to LrJEla Sandell,
who together with brother, Edward
j. Adanson, of Kansas City, Mo-, and
daughter, Mrs. Frederick Tourner,
OF Hannibal, Mo-, survive him.
The funeral will be held from the
FAMILY residence, 72O Fulton street.
at 10 O'clock Friday morning.

Feasibility of Shipping British CoIum

Feasibility Of rafting British Co
lumbia lumber to Europe in ranfa-
'nutes or great ocean going RATS is
being considered. Rafanutes are used

syndicate of London has sent William
Olson of Stockholm to British Column
bia to investigate the possibility of
using rafanutes in British Columbia's

those now shipped out of the Baltic

| Santa Ana Register: The principal

newspaper press.
The newspaper is a self made in.
Istitution. 1t is an individuaIistic
enterprise with no help from state
or philanthropy.
The newspaper press has reached
the point where many people feel it
lis greater power than either public

TEXTILES WOVEN
INTO LANGUAGE
lSince Adam Ate the Apple in Garden
of Eden History Has Been Ac-
companied With Weaving
of WOODEN Material.

We are justified in assuming that
Adam was not worried about the high
cost of living until he had eaten that
famous apple and he and Eve began
to think about clothes. From that
time to this the art and business of
making textiles has grown until it is
today the most important industry in
the world.
1t is prehistoric, and the story of
it's growth is literally woven into the
