CALLS ON SEVEN
COLLEGES TO FORM
A CONFERENCE
Coach Dave Morey of Middlebury
Wants Plant Modelled After
Western Plan.

M;ddlebury. April 3.--Dave Morey,
coach of football and baseball at ma
dleburv college, has issued a letter 70
the coaches Of seven New England col
leges, proposing meeting at some
central point in the near future lot tne
consideration of plans for an eastern
conference modelled on the lines OF the
football conferences which have been
40 successful in the middle west for the
past few years. The colleges addressed
in the preliminary negotiations are
Amherst, New Hampshire state, Nor
wich, Tufts, University OF vermont,
Wesleyan and Williams, but the hnal
group may be very different, these De-
ing taken merely as starting point.
II Is hoped that such conference, y
lis organization is effected will help to
remedy some of the evils OF the grid
iron sport which have recently come IN
for SO much criticism from college exec
utiyes and the press. Among the things
which it is hoped to regulate by UNI
form rules are: Eligibility OF players
4 definite date for the beginning Of the
training season thus cutting down the
expense Of preseason training camps
and a set policy with regard to post
season and intersectional games Many
other questions would also come un
der the supervision Of the central body
but these would be the main points ant
serve to show the scope OF the pro
posed conference. u
II is expected that considerable tins
win pass before it is possible to com
plete the Organization. The schedules
| for next season are already set so that
| Il will be necessary to wait at least
until the '23 season before the plar
can be really gotten under way. A
vet there has been no indication as e
the attitude Of the colleges approached
but il is felt that the proposed confer
ence promises to fill real need an'
favorable replies are expected.

BABE RUTH IN SLUMP.
Hasn't Been Hitting Even the Minor
League Pitchers.

New York, April B. Followers Of the
New York Yankee baseball team
viewed with little enthusiasm the re-
sumption Of the series between that
team and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Lit
tie Rock. Ark, to-day. Their chief
pride and boast. George Herman Ruth,
appeared to be in the throes of bat
ting slump, and the wrecking facilities
of the team were badly impaired
George Herman has made only four
hits out of Is tries at bat in the last
four games, and he apparently has lost
the home run habit even when hitting
against minor league pitchers.
There was some cheer for the Yam
kee fans. however, in the fact that
WaIly Pipp has regained his hitting
eve. He got four two baggers against
that Dallas. Texas, league team yester-
-ay. The Yankees won by a score OF
to 3.
Brooklyn, on the other hand, had
been ploughing along with the whole
team hitting on all cylinders and th'
pitchers doing real big league stun.

CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry Of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing. soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar coated, olive-colored tab
let's. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.

QUOT PITCHERS TO ORGANIZE
 NEW LEAGUE

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 14.- Horseshoe pitching that delicate art indulged in in unorganized fashion for years back of barns, on the front lawns and in the open prairies, soon is to be put on a strongly organized national basis.
 A national league" of horseshoe piachers, or something to that effect, is about to be formed.
 Consolidation of the various horse shoe -pitchng associations now in ex- istence is to be effected at a con- vention of the quoit pegsers in Des Moines during the Iowa State Fair August 28 to September 1. In con- nection with this assemblage of Hawkeye ruralies will be held the national horseshoe-p pitching tourna- ment and while all the crack cast CTS of the iron shoes are here the matter of one big national organiza- tion will be settled.
 It is estimated that there are ap- proximately 100000 men and wom- en horseshoe players in America to- day.
 Tn every state in the union horse shoe pitching is going on furiously, and while there is no immediate dan ger that this game will supplant baseball as the national pastime, horseshoes have become so popular that it has been deemed advisable to establish, on a self-sustaining basis, a central and controlling body, recognized as the national organiza- tion," devoted to the welfare of the ancient and honorable game of horse shoe tossing.
 CONSTITUTION DRAWN UP.
 At the suggestion of B. G. Leigh ton, president of the National Horse shoe Pitchers Association, Charles Roy Cox of Columbus, O., has drawn up a constitution and bylaws for the new national organization to be formed by the horseshoe pitchers during state fair week.
 CoX's idea on what should be done is substantially as follows:
 Divide the country into four sec tions. Hold tournaments in each di- vision, as well as in each state Send winners of state and division tourna- ments to the national meet. Submit all elections and important matters to affiliated clubs for a vote by mail or telegraph. Keep the interest in the game alive.
 Questions, such as When is a ringer not ringer?' and other problems that perplex the uniniti ated, would be settled by the na- tional grievance committee" and definite rules would be laid down for all "big league" contestants, so that they may enter the great tour naments of the future with as ac- curate knowledge of what ought not to be done as is possessed by the great Babe" Ruth when he dons his spangles and enters the baseball arena

TRIcT ASSOCIATION
Held at Meade Wednesday Was a
Big Suecess-Large Number
Was in Attendance

The 103rd anniversary of the
founding Of Odd Fellowship in Am
erica was celebrated April 26th, at
Meade, Kansas, and to say that the
meeting was one of the best held in
recent years would be putting it
mildly.
The program in the afternoon was
begun at about two o'clock, with
near to five hundred Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs in attendance, and
which included about fifty from Lib
eral. Following the singing of Amer
lea by the audience, the invocation
was delivered by Rev. A. G. Down.
ing. This was followed by song
by the Meade High School Chorus
which was very capably rendered and
we'll received. The welcome address
was then given by Mr.. G. c Will
son in a splendid manner, followed
by a response by Had W. Lane of
Liberal, which was given in the usual
masterful way and wording of which
Bro. Lane is capable. Mrs. l.. G..
Perkins welcomed the visiting Re-
bakahs with few well chosen re-
marks. After an address by Rev.
J. W. Jones, the meeting resolved
itself into a business session of the
Association; the principal event Of
this session being the deciding of the
place for the next annual meeting.
This was interesting because of the
fact that both Pratt and Mullinville
came prepared to take the meeting.
Pratt was fortunate in carrying off
the honors.
The evening session was divided,
the Rebekahs meeting at the |. 0.
o. F. Hall, and the Odd Fellows at
the High School Auditorium. The
Rebekah degree was very capably
put on by the Pratt Degree Staff.
At the Odd Fellow meeting the
Initiatory, First, Second and Third
Degrees were put on respectively by
Fowler, Liberal, Pratt and Bucklin'

CANDIDATES ARE NOW
GETTING INTO RACE
Sheriff's Office Seems to Be the Most
Desired Of All the County
Offices

Wanted: Candidates for County
offices; sheriff's office excepted. APP
ply to leaders of the Democratic and
Republican parties.
With dearth of candidates for the
other good offices in the court house,
the shemff's office is sought by four
men at this tine and there are rumors
that one or two more are getting in
terested in the game.
The first to announce was Caney
Hibbs, who had his announcement in
last weeks Democrat. Caney is q
Democrat and a cracking good fellow,
being at present a member of the Lib
eral police force. He says that he is
not promising to transform the county
but that if chosen as the Democratic
nominee he will make a clean cam
paign and if elected will do his best
to enforce the laws of the county and
state.
The next announcement was that OF
o. E. Dobson, on the Democratic tic
ket. Oliver served two terms os heriff
and was chief of police for some time.
He made good sheriff and needs lit
tie introduction to the people OF Sc
ward county, who know how he han
died the office during the time he oc-
cupied it. Oliver will make a good
campaign, is we'll acquainted with the
people of the county and should make
good race.
John w. Freeman, deputy sheriff
under Sheriff Nelson, will make the
race for the Republican nomination.
John took the oath of office the same
day as Sheriff Nelson and has taken
quite an active part in the work of the
office. He came here in 1906 from
Oklahoma, and says he was never in
politics before excepting the time he
ran for Register of Deeds against
Charley Finley. Johns record is be-
fore the voters who wish to consider
his candidacy, and he is willing to
stand on that record.

DAN MAY INJURED WHEN
ENGINE SMASHED CAR
Was Coming From Forgan Early
Friday Morning With Two
Passengers

Dan May, auto livery man, suffer-
ed broken knee cap and other min
or bruises when a Rock Island switch
engine struck his car at the Kansas
Avenue crossing at an cary hour Fri
day morning.
Just as he started to cross the
Rock Island tracks going north, the
switch engine struck the fore part
of the Ford Sedan which he was
driving. The front wheel was crushed
and the tenders torn from the car.
Most of the glass was broken and
the car almost completely wrecked.
Dan had as passengers, E. P. Par
who was badly scratched, besides
dee Of Kansas City, a travelling man,
sustaining a severe bruise on the
head. Pardee is about 60 years Of
age. The other passenger was A. l..
Brown, whose home is in Lincoln,
Nebraska, but who travels out of
Manhattan. Brown suffered a SER
ious cut on the forehad, more than
likely inflicted by the flying glass.
Pardee was sitting with May in
the front seat and Brown was asleep
in the rear seat.
The passengers were given atten-
ton and went their way but Mr.
May is still confined to bed in a
local hospital.
There are many stories in circu
lation as to the cause of the coils
ion but the Democrat has none au
thentic enough to venture an opin
| ion.
