 Some delegations have ridden more band-wagons than Polly of the circus.
 William Jennings Bryan says he probably will not attend the next con- vention. The same pledge has been taken by 1,O07 delegates.
 'Mr Bryan becap1e a great-grand- father during the convention. It is hoped that the convention will end be- fore his great-grandson does likewise.
 Ten Broadway shows have flopped since the convention began. There is no hope of this one Hopping.
 In a Few Weeks
 "The senior class of the convention will graduate in a few weeks. Final examinations require the seniors to reel off the vote by states from memory beginning with Alabama twenty votes for Oscar W. Underwood" Some of the students can recite the entire roll-call with the accurate vote of each delegation as glibly as a Greek waiter reels off appde, pecah, cocoanut, goose berry and rhnbarb pie.
 Senator Saulsbury of Delaware has received 463 votes. The trouble with Senator Saulsbury is, however, that he never got more than seven on one ballot"

BULA CROKER WINS
 COURT DEMURRER
Florida Court Sustains Dublin Probate Of Chieftain's Will

PALM BEACH, Fla, July 5.-The general demurred filed by Bula F. Gro ker to the amended objecting petition of Richard Croker, Jr., Ethel Croker White and Howard Croker, against the probate of the will of Richard Croker by jury in Dublin, Ireland, on June 15, 1923, is sustained in an order is- sued here today by Palm Beach County Judge R. P. Robbins.
 In connection with the action of the Dublin court by admitting the will of the former Tammany chieftain to pro- bate, Judge Robbins held that the al- legations of the petition are unsuffi- cient under law.
 In the objecting petition filed by Att torney Crawford the main contention was that the will was not executed in the manner and form complying with the law of the state of Florida as a de- vice of real estate. It was alleged that the witnesses did not sign in the pres ence of MT. Croker and that witnesses were not required to sign a last will and testament.

the British farmers. Then he went through France and Germany in the same way and on the same plan. It was what he learned in Germany, in fact, that brought about the establish ment of the department of agricultural economies, and which later burgeoned into the bureau of the same name at Washington. He was one of the chief organizers of the American Farm Eco monies association. That operates along the lines that he worked out in Wisconsin.
 More thought and more knowledge in farming"
 He did not want to come to Wash 1ngton to head a government bureau. He is not a well-to-do man, and gov ernment salaries are not always what they should be. As a professor and author his annual returns were con- siderably more than he could hope for from the government. But some one had to do the work when three bureaus in the department of agriculture were con- solidated to form the present organiza- tion, and the finger of fate pointed ir- risistibly to him. So he came. The chances are that he has been happy, for he has been able to do some big things iE a big way.
 What The Farmer Is Told
 For it is big bureau, this of agri- cultural economies. It has something like 900 employees at Washington and a field force of nearly 1000 more About $500 miles of leased wire, a huge radio broadcasting system and the mails keep it in touch with every develop ment of farming and farm marketing. A farmer is not only told how to man. age his farm, but what crops to manage. A system of crop and stock census is being worked out, through which the farmer may learn what crops may be profitable and what ones are being over-produced. That involves a world survey.
 Take the matter i, of ham alone. Danish farmers produce the best pork in the world. American pigs run too largely to lard to suit the European taste. The Danish farmer not only raises the streak-of-lean-and-streak-o of fat sort of bacon, but he varies his pro- duction as the taste of the English buyer shifts. The American farmer could raise just as good pork if he would, but to do so involves rearrange- ment of our whole piggish, plan. The man who would specialize in the pro- duction of the very best hams must find cooperation in methods of curing and marketing. Otherwise he had best stick to mass production of lard.

WOMEN BLAMED BY MEN FOR THEIR
 ENDLESS VOTING
If They'd Change Minds, End Would Come, Is
 Novel View
By DOROTHY sHUMATE

NEW YORK, July 5.-Women have come into their own at the democratic national convention.
 For it's their fault, the men are claiming, that the convention has drag ged along into endless days of ballot ing without any signs of progress.
 If it wasn't for them, they chorus, we'd all be at home with our families and our candidate would have been selected without this internal balloting.
 For women just gum up the progress of anything that they get into. They're the ones that won't change their minds and keep voting and voting the same way.
 Alabamian's View
 "If women once get an idea, it takes more than mere man to change it, " said one man from Alabama, who is part of the delegation that has for TO- odd ballots cast 24 votes for Under wood.
 Another from Virginia then drew up and said, Isn't it the limit?"
 Tt would be bad enough" they both agreed, eff women were just as stub born as mules about switching-but they keep constant bulwark and make us feel cheap if we quit them"
 That's purely masculine attitude" says. Mrs. Borden Hartman, new na- tional committeewoman from the Dis trict of Columbia, and leader of the Nc Adoo women.
 Stick To Original
 "But the women aren't bothering at all about anything that the men say. I've will stick to our original candi- date if we have to stay all summer" they say. Meanwhile Miss Elizabeth Marbury, famous Tammany leader, gravely shakes her head and murmurs incoherently.
 "Women are going crazy" she says. "I mean women in politics. They're just getting up and screaming and be- ing nominated for all sorts of offices that have no meaning and they're hold ing up the parade while they play to the galleries"
 The "Big Four" politicians, Miss Julia Landers of Indiana, Bernice Pyke, of Cleveland, Mrs.. Gertrude Bowler, of Wisconsin and Mrs. J. c. Cantrill, of Lexington, Ky, don't quite agree with the men for they've selected candidate. After caucusing for a full day they've decided that there's one man the women will swing to and that is Newton D. Baker. If the campaign they "put over" at Frisco for James M. Cox in 1920 is precedent, Mir. Baker will be nominated and the whole show VII be over.
 Won't Even Listen
 But again the women are stubborn they won't even listen to these able advisers.
 There's only one way to win," says Mrs. Clara Goodwin, of Chicago, "and that's to stick to our principles and stay here until our man is nominated" !"
 Mrs. Goodwin is busily working for McAdoo while Mrs. Enos Quinn was just as emphatic for Al Smith.
 ''The women on both sides have shed tears, and they have pledged their al- legiancel and that goes if it takes un- til. Christmas" ;" they say-so what can the poor men do? ..s.. .-.>
