SEED CORN DAYS

Corn growers are urged to select
seed corn ample to meet the needs not
only of 1924 but to hold as a reserve
for 1925, in a proclamation issued by
the Montana department of agricul-
ture which designates the first ten
days of September as Montana Seed
Corn Days" After calling attention
to the fact that the corn acreage in
Montana has multiplied 500 times in
the past 40 years, the proclamation
emphasizes the fact that the progress
Of Montana as a cOrn-grOwing state
depends largely on the use of home
grown acclimated seed. The move to
have annual seed corn days observed
has the backing of the Montana Seed
Growers association.

Pledge Aid to Enforce Dry
Law, But Do Not lndorse
Eighteenth Amendment.
BY KENNETH CLARK.
International News Service.

WEST BADEN, Ind, Oct. 10.
Sweeping over the so-called
wet faction, the dry won
smashing victory at the conclud-
ing session of the annual gov
ernors' conference here today.
Following a stormy session be-
hind closed doors, virtually all of
the State executives agreed to
sign the resolution circulated by
Governor Sweet, of Colorado,
pledging full support Of the con-
J ference to President Coolidge in
the fight to uphold the prohibi-
ton law and make the United
States thoroughly dry.
Attacked by Two.
The triumph Of the drys, how.
ever, was scored only after bitter
assaults upon the resolution by
Governors Parker. Of Louisiana,
and Blaine, Of Wisconsin.
Through the efforts Of these two
State chiefs, Governor Sweet was
forced to eliminate that portion of
the resolution which declared that
the CO nj er n ce approved the
Eighteenth amendment"
As the resolution now stands, 1t
A restricted solely to an express
sion that the Governors are ready
10 throw complete and harmonious
co-operation of their State agencies
''to maintain the integrity Of the
Constitution and the laws of the
land" particularly prohibition, mar.
cotic and immigration laws. which
are to be the basis Of discussion at
the White House conference tomor-
row afternoon.
Blaine attacked the resolution be.
cause, as he said, "I have already
taken an oath as Governor of Wis
consin to uphold the Constitution
and I resent any move to make me
take that oath again:
Parker thought it entirely with
out the scope of the conference to
adopt and such course, and charged
the Federal Administration with the
responsibility for the enforcement OF
the law.
One of the outstanding surprises
of the action today was the acqui
essence of Governor SiIzer Of New
Jersey to the Sweet resolution. Re
garded as a chief of the liberal efe
ment, Silver Joined hands with the
drys, headed by Governors Sweet
Pinchot of. Pennsylvania, and Bax
ter, Of Maine, in agreement to the
bone dry enforcement pledge"
He held that the prohibition
amendment was part and parcel o.
the Constitution, and as such, 4
made it the duty Of the States tt
unite closely with national enforce
ment agencies.

Telling Of His Cruelty. When
She Goes On Stand.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia
silent witness, the diary Of Mrs.
Helen Elwood Stokes, former
Denver society belle, defendant
in the divorce action brought
against her by her seventy-three-
year-old millionaire husband, VIII
liam Earl Dodge Stokes, was ex-
pected today to be the chief
proof submitted to refute the
sensational charges voiced against
the titian-haired beauty by the
eighteen witnesses who have so
far testified against her.
Covers Married Life.
Mrs. Stokes exhibited her diary
this morning. 1t covers the entire
period of her married life, begin
ming in 1911 when as a girl she
eloped with the aged millionaire to
a New Jersey Gretna Green, up to
the present day.
The diary will DO read to the jury
by Mrs. Stokes when she takes the
witness stand in her own behalf
late next week, according to Samuel
Untermyer, her chief counsel.
Handwriting experts will be
called to prove the document
authentic, and to swear that the
entries made in 1911, and following
years, are not recent writings-a
contention which already has been
voiced by her husband.
Records Joy, Then Abuse.
The written record, as shown by
Mrs. Stokes, is, perhaps, document
without parallel in court records.
It tells a story Of the young and
beautiful girl who marries a man OF
wealth and age. It's first entries
are the story Of expected happi.
ness, with constant reference to the
husband in terms Of endearment.
Later, events are recorded In
which the young wife, at the dates
mentioned an expectant mother
records a series of alleged abuses.

Moses Predicts Next
Congress Will Be
Dry AS Present

While terming the Volstead
act 3 "jackass law" Senator
George IL. Moses IRep:) of
New Hampshire today predicted
the election Of q dry Congress
In 1924.
Noses based his forecast on
information acquired during an
eight weeks investigation of
the prohibition situation in
twelve States. He made his
observations to newspapcrrnen
during a visit to the White
House.
1.-THE VoIstead act is a Jack
ass law" said Moses. aAny
law that declares buttermilk to
be an alcoholic beverage Of
necessity is a jackass statute.
It is my opinion, however, that
the country will vote dry in
1924 and q dry Congress win
be elected as well. Some
States, such as Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey,
will cast decidedly wet votes,
but the nation as a whole will
be dry" >.
