Peter.

GOVERNOR AIDS HUNT.
By the Associated Press.


COLUMBIA, S. c., July 12.-Gov.
Thomas G. Mcleod announced last
night he will assign w. w. Rogers,
state detective, to the task of ascer-
tanning If Maj. Samuel III. McLeary,
missing coast artillery officer, actu-
ally entered South Carolina in what
is now believed to be his fatal trip
from Raleigh, n. c., to Columbia,
The offices of Gov. Mcleod in the
search were asked by Gov. Pat Neff
of Texas late yesterday, and the de-
cision to assign Detective Rogers to
the case is the result of Gov. Neff'S
appeal. A letter from the Texas ex-
ecutive is said to be on its way here,
explaining his interest in the disap-
pearance.
Gov Mcleod has requested full
information of the Army in the form
of full description of the missing
officer. together with photographs
and other information by which he
could be recognized.
Rogers first step will he to go to
Raleigh, the point where McLeary is
said to have been seen last, and
trace his movements from the mo-
ment he was seen last. 1t is pointed
out here that If 1T is determine ed
Maj. McLeary never reached the state
the governor can go no further in
his efforts.
In the meantime a statewide look
out is being maintained by police and

GERMANS BELITTLE

News Copyright, 1924
BERLIN. July 12-"what do they
mean to us?"
That is the question Germans are
asking concerning the American pres
idential candidates. 'Ts there any
difference in European policy?"
The conventions of the various par
ties were followed here with great
interest, although Germans are in
clined to judge American politics
harshly. seeing in the great elections
a struggle of two economic organiza-
tions for places and exploitation
rights, rather than questions of prin-
ciple.
The German political situation to-
day is fairly simple. 1t was decided
some week ago that Germany might
go to the coming conference without
having brought the Dawes report
fullment legislation before the
Reichstag, as it was considered the
German conservatives would lack
courage to destroy what already had
been accomplished. Now it would
seem the attitude of the conservatives
is fairly unimportant.

Seek Cost Figures.
A plan for determining prices of
farm staples under the provisions or
revised McNary- Haugen bill on a
cost of production basis will be pre-
sented by F. B. Layman, president of
the Corn Growers Association, and
Paul Talbert, one of the organizers
of that association.
This plan suggests the minimum
prices for each year be set Decem-
Der after the entire yield is har-
vested and the years average cost
of production ascertained, thus pre-
cluding the possibility that the price
would go below the point at which
the producer may obtain fair
margin above his cost OF production.
