Root, Lowden and
Hoover in Cabinet

Washington, Nov. 3.-Discussion
of cabinet possibilities followed close
today upon the election Of Scs ator
Harding.
Apparently well founded reports
named Elihu Root as the likely sec
rotary of state. It was intimated
that Root would be selected to guide
the work of settling the treaty and
the League of Nations negotiations
with foreign powers, and that after
this was accomplished, he would re-
tire.
Governor Frank o. Lowden of Hi
nois was mentioned as a possible sec
rotary of commerce or head of the
treasury department, with the former
post more likely.
Herbert Hoover's name was heard
persistently as the probable secretary
Of the interior, and Henry Wallace of
Iowa, publisher Of a farm newspaper,
was being talked Of as secretary Of
agriculture.
For secretary Of war it was learned
that Lindley NJ. Garrison, who held
the post at one time under President
Wilson, and who had difference of
opinion with him, would be consid-
cred.
The organizing ability of Will r..
Hays, chairman of the Republican
national committee, caused him to be
considered for the postmaster gener-
alship.

Cox Loses Home

Dayton, o., Nov. 3.-Governor
Cox, the defeated presidential candi-
date, today wired his congratulations
to Senator Harding, the president
elect, pleging support 'sas a citizen

ever emergency that might arise"
His message, the first act Of the

der as the defeated candidate my
congratulations, and pledge as a citi-
zen my support to the executive au-
thority in whatever emergency that
might arise"
Sting of Defeat Increased
The sting of defeat, borne with
out emotion by the governor, was in
creased today by the local county re-
turns. For the first time in the gov
errors political career, it appeared
that his home county had been car
ried by an opponent. The unofficial
compilation of the vote showed that
235 of the 253 precincts of the
county gave Harding 41,380 against
33.16S for the governoIA The gov
ernor's own precinct was lost to him
by twelve votes. In all his contests
for governor, Cox carried the county
with Dluralities ranging from $500
to 9100 votes.

MAY ASKU.S,
 HELP ENTENTE
 MAKE TREATY
(By United Press)


 Washington, July 29.-President Wilson may announce shortly whether or not the United States is to take part in the London peace conference called to draft the terms which will end the war between soviet Russia and the new republic of Poland. En- tente powers probably have requested the United States to take part in the peace deliberations.
 High government officials express ed the view today that they can not conceive the conference being held with the United States having voice in 1t. American sympathy for Rus sla was most pronounced and accepted as a diplomatic fact until the over- throw of the monarchy and the es- tablishment of the soviet.
 Although Americas non-participa- tion in the league of nations prob ably will prevent the United States from officially taking part in the conference, diplomats point out that President Wilson may express the wishes of America in the peace set telement through an official or un- official representative, who undoubt- edly would be received and welcomed by the entente powers and certainly by Russia.

STILL CONFER ONPAY SCALE.
 COALSCARCER
(Lead by United Press)

Chairman Brewster of the eXecu- tive committee of the coal operators association, central competitive dis trict, today summoned operators for a conference at Chicago on Friday at which they will formulate the stand they are to take in the conference with officers of miners unions to ne- goltate a wage scale. Their confer ence and the joint conference with the unions look to the speedy adjustment of the unauthorized strike of coal min CTS, which has paralyzed production of bltuminous coal in the middle west.
 Committees from mine workers un- Ions Tn conference at Indianapolis to- day completed their case, and are ready tor the joint meeting with the opera tors. According to credible reports their demands will be for increased pay and shortened hours, with prob ably a threat to remain on strike unless their conditions of employment are met in full.
 A decision reached at the Indiana polls conference also committed the miners to the policy of deferring ac- ton and remaining on strike until union officers can meet at Washing to and ascertain the attitude of the fed eral government toward their demands. This gathering at Washington will take place early next week, regardless of what decision is reached by the opera tors at Chicago tomorrow.
 Reports from the strike are today that the miners are obstinatelv refusing to work until their claims are adJuste Western states may also be affected as the trend of the strike IS westward from Illinois, Indiana and Kansas. Operators in Pennsylvania and Maryland reported that the situa- tion in their districts is becoming more serious. The maximum supply of coal held by utilities and industrial plants in those states will last only three or four days, and an immediate settle ment of the strike must be made if paralysis of industrial life is to be averted.
 At St. Louis, an emergency com mlttee today seized all coal and is dis 1t to essential industries, the purpose being to avert tie up as long as possible, in the hope that miners and operators will be able to agree upon terms which will end the strike.

FALL ARMY WORM
 HITS LIE COUNTY

Little Rock, July 29.-W. C. Las setter, director of the extension di- vision of the University of Arkan- sas, left today for Lee county, where he will assist in fighting the fall army worm which is said to be doing much damage in that county. MT. Lasseter said that his office had received re- ports of the army worm in Monroe, Jackson, Lee, White, Pulaski and Lo- noke counties, where cotton and corn crops are being destroyed by the army worms.
 Lead arsenate is a poison that can be safely used on the cotton, accord ing to MT Lasseter, but all livestock must be kept off the fields for 10 days following the application of the poison. There is danger in using calcium arsenate that has not been

tested by the boil weevil laboratory at Talulah, La., MT. Lasseter said, as those tests have shown that 50 per cent of the calcium arsenate on the market is dangerous to apply to cot ton. Paris green mixed with flour and lime can be used, but even with the most careful use Paris green often will burn the cotton, and the extension division does not recom- mend it's use.
 The present attack will not con- tinue more than a week, judging by the size of the worms brought to his office, MT. Lasseter said. At the end of the week the worms will go into the pupae state, and a new generation will appear about the first or sec ond week in September. By that time, said Mir. Lasseter, the most of the cotton crop will be practically made, and the worm will not do as much damage then.

Washington, July 29.-New rates for conversion of foreign money or ders, approXimating foreign exchange rates, were announced by the post office department today as a safe guard against the taking off of huge profits from trading in international money orders. Hereafter, American postoffices will charge rates equal to foreign exchange when international money orders are issued. Favored by lower rates, traders in foreign money orders have been able to reap good profits, practice which the new rates will make impossible.

thus unfolding the proverb that the

Sharks DeVour Food Fish.
Sharks travel in schools or singly
and are found most abundant where
food fish are plentiful. They are ,es-
pecially fond of the mullet, menhaden,
maCkerel and sea trout. Thus it will
be seen that they are migratory and
at various seasons are found in differ
ent waters. They are naturally warm
water fish, which accounts for the
large number to be found in the Gulf
of Mexico, along the coast Of Florida
and the West Indies. Being rapid and
powerful swimmers, they often follow
ships for hundreds of miles, picking up
food as it is thrown over the side of
the vessel Thus their diet at such
times is not unlike that of our domes-
tic hog and poultry. 1t is claimed by
fisher folk that the shark will not eat
unsound food, which shows him even
more particular than our friend the
porker. Why, then, if he is so clean
in his habits of life, should we dis
criminate against him?
