3.-That after each ballot begin
ming today, the candidate receiving
the lowest vote should be dropped

These two plans from the con.
ferences of candidates representa-
tives which started Saturday even
ing, We're resumed Sunday afternoon
and concluded early this morning.
The harmony confereeS, realizing
they could not make unanimous
report on either, decided to submit
both to the convention in the form
of a report.
Meantime the delegates of all can
'didates, save McAdoo, were free to
vote rs they choose beginning with
the first ballot today There is no
action of the convention itself that
can force a change in the voting
procedure of McAdoo s delegates.
So, with the opening of the. seven
teenth session and the calling of
the--s~~rrrty eighth roll, the situa-
lion was precisely rs it was Satur-
day with the single exception that
delegates voting for Al Smith and
the favorite sons don t have TO con
tinue to do so if they don I wish TO.
Most of them are expected to east
their votes exactly as they have
heretofore.

lips, assistant pastor of the little
church around the corner, New York
CITY, delivered the invocation, and
the eighteenth public session of the
1924 convention was under way. \
great ma jority of the delegates and
alternates appeared to still be here
but there was an increasing number
of vacant chairs in the delegates
section.
The report of Chairman Hull of
the Democratic national committee,
offering the proposal of all candi-
dates before the convention, except
McAdoo, TO release their delegates
from any pledge or obligation to the
respective candidates, was presented
to the convention by Chairman
Walsh.
Virginia broke its solid vote for
Glass for the first time on the 18th
ballot. giving McAdoo ten of its
81 votes, keeping the rest Of the
ballots for Glass.
West Virginia also made divi-
sion OF IhiS Ddliot, giving -hNA"""
one vote and - for j. w. Davis.
West Virginia has been voting solid
" for Davis heretofore.
j. Bruce Kremer, spokesman for
McAdoo, moved that the rules be

While L shall be interested in

Office OF deputy sheriff is as honor
able a the Office of judge, but does
not rank as high in public opinion.
Capable business men should be

Gobs, Freed From Jail,
Grin at Another Trial;

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26.-The
typical American youth just won't
be downhearted, nor does he feel
that a fall from grace amounts
to anything. There arrived at the
naval station here today four youth
full and grinning "gobs," smiling in
spite of the fact that after six
months in a Mississippi Jail they
have Vet to face charges of deSer-
ton from the navy. They claimed
they Just have been absent without
leave" and were willing to argue
the point with any one who believes
otherwise.
The youths are Joseph r. Hurt.

head, 10. Atlanta.
The boys quit the destroyer Gosh
Ian at Galveston, Tex, six months
ago, they said. and appropriating an
automobile as a means of trans
portation, drove TO New Orleans.
From here they made their way into
Mississippi but the pangs of hunger
began to be felt and the result was
a trial and sentences of six months
each, at Tutweiler. for robbing q
store. Their terms expired yester-
day and a deputy escorted them TO
New Orleans and turned them over
10 the naval authorities.
Some of the old heads al the sta
ton expressed the opinion that a
spanking all around would be the
most effective punishment.

allows the association damages in

amount the grower sold his pota-
toes for.

association in speaking of the viO-
lation stated: "The life of any CO.

Ponds on the loyalty Of it's mem.

age clauses in our contract to give
them teeth because if there were
no penalty, there might be more
infractir~~ of the contract than
there are. We owe it to the loyal
members to prosecute all violations.
We do not like these unpleasant
tasks, but duty to our other mem
bers gives us no other recourse than
to track the law as set forth in our

MACHINE GUNS ARE
ORDERED TRAINED ON
MIDNIGHT MEETINGS

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Aug. 26.
Hartford Hill at Camp Custer will be
covered with machine guns hereafter
and fire will be opened should an
other unauthorized meeting, such as
was held last night, presumably by
the Ku klux Khan, be held there, an
order issued today by Major John
FRANKLIN, chief of staff, at the di-
rection of General George Mosely,
said.
The order, which is to be read
to every organization within the
camp and has been issued to the
press so that all innocent parties
may be fully advised" follows:
For several evenings detach-
ments. apparently of the Ku KluX
Khan, have entered the southern part
OF the Camp Custer reservation and
held meetings on Hartford Hill with
the evident intent of bringing their
order to the attention Of members
of this camp.
Last night the guard sent to cap
ture any such intruders on the resec-
walton arrived too late, but it did
gather in number of members of
this camp who had been attracted to
the vicinity of the meeting, evident
ly by idle curiosity.
The members of this camp are
warned to keep away from any and
all such meetings. 1t is an offense
for a soldier to appear in his uniform
at such a gathering. The true patri-
otto soldier serves honorably in an
organization wherein each member
is recognized in the law by name.
ITO carry out the intent of this
order, instructions have been issued
to cover Hartford Hill with machine
gun fire and should another meeting
be held, this fire will be opened.
"Au members of this garrison will
avoid being in the vicinity of such
a meeting

Nevertheless. she took a big cram

suburb of Chicago, and educated in
office training
Six months later, in May, 1913,
Miss Huyck, with her invalid moth
err, took the train to Minong. She
knew that if the bog could be made
successful it would have to be done
with no capital, as there was none
available. The berry sheds were
tumbled down. The Lewis summer
home, a half mile distant, was the
only thing in sight, save a marsh
surrounded by stumps and sand.
Mortgaging the first two years
crop for running expenses, the old
barn was whitewashed and, with a
few partitions, did service for a
berry shed. Six years later a sort
ing machine was installed in the
middle room OF the whiteWashed
barn.
Now Pays Dividends
The first years yield was so bar
rels, the following about 200. The
last two seasons have yielded each
approximately 1 200 barrels. The in
vestment now pays it's five stock
holders six per cent on their money,
one year even paying eight per cent.
On her sleeping porch, facing the
marsh, Miss Huyck watches the
weather in hourly nightly vigil, order
ing the marshes flooded with a sus-
pected frost. Three years ago a
second marsh was begun entirely
under her personal supervision, Miss
Huyck handling her own engineer
ing level.
She is constantly on the job from
ea"'-- April planting until late Oc-
tober with the final shipping. She
directs the workers as they plant,
prune, pick, Gull, sort and crate
the berries that you may have cram
berry sauce for dinner!
