Rum TREATIES

A French-Amercan liquor treaty has just been
signed at Washington, intended to check the illegal
importation of liquos. from French sources. 1t is
similar to the treaty with Great Britain and several
other countries, establishing alcoholic l2-me line
al sea instead of the DID, familiar threee line which
is still recognized technically the international
boundary
French rum-carriers have not dumped SO much
liauor upon the country have British TRENDS
and their cargoes been for the most part less
harmful Wine is never bad as whiskey. But the
Constitution and the Volsead Act make no distinctions
and champagne and sauterne must go along "i'h

these added links in the dry chain that Uncle Sam is

There still remains the really big problem OF dry

treaties with bootleggers and home-brewers?

Young Ryan Out
to Regain Money
His Father Lost
Iy Un1tea Press Lcased wire

NEW YORK, Aug. ia young
man scarcely out of college today
took his place with the financial
masters of Wall street in an attempt
to recoup the fortune lost by his
father s effort to corner a motor
stock.
The young man was Allan A.
Ryan, Jr., son of Allan A. Ryan,
who a few years ago tried to pun
ish the street for attacking stock
of the Stutz Motor Company, in
the eXchange-and crashed, sinking
his entire fortune, estimated at
$25 100000.
The younger Ryan today started
the task of making Wall street
give back that fortune.
He graduated from Yale several
months ago and Immediately went
to work to fit himself for the task.
For months he served as stock run
ner, stock clerk, margin clerk and
order clerk. Menial tasks, some of
them, but he was pointing for the
day when he would start on the
floor after his fathers vanished
millions.
Wednesday an announcement to
the effect that A. A. Ryan, Jr., had
purchased the seat in the exchange
owned by A. r. Ulirich, caused Wall
street to do some thinking.
The son of Allan A. Ryan, and
the grandson of Thomat Fortune
Ryan, both figures in finance, was
out after fortune. He will have
offices with Rockwell, Carpenter
and Cutler, friends of his father in
the, halcyon days when Ryan was

The little orphan rabbit girl,

down the beach.
''If I could only find a penny in

not a penny could she see How

good as a penny-she saw Uncle
Wiggily walking along the beach
and twinkling his pink nose.
"Oh, | know what | 81 do laugh

The presentation of codes of

of various Rotarians continues to
be the chief form Of diversion at
the weekly luncheons of the Rotary
Club here. At yesterday affair

Tom Gill gave his services as chair
man Of the day. Tod Allison PROV

The charity fund of the Nclub
grew considerably at the luncheon
when Mayor w. II. Lavayea and o.

Bert Edgar paid one for failing to

soon, and George Anderson paid
one for making almost slanderous
remarks about the chairman cf the

DAVIS PLANS
FOR CAMPAIGN
BY FRASER EDWARDS
nittd Press Staff CUrrespon dent

NEW YORK, Aug 15.-DeveloP-
ments since his return here have in
creased the determination of John
sW. Davis to make his big fight for
the presidency in the east.
The Democratic candidate spent
the day at his home in Locust Val
hes. making plans for ''treat EN-
rcugh' campaign, which he feels
ccnrident will win the voters of the
ropulace cPrters
rs a result of the enthusiastic re-
Il tjcHs 10 his speech of acceptance,
Davis has moved the opening date
for his eastern campaign forward
Two weeks. He had not intended to
sning into action in the east until
about September l. But at the in
stance of Governor Silzer, Davis
has agreed to address the New Jer-
sey Democratic state committee at
Sca0rit, n. j., on August ~.
Elabcrates Views
In celebrating his views ON the
issues, Davis will continue to ham
mer away for ''honcsty in govern
ment,' which constituted the main
theme of his acceptance speech.
In his New Jersey speech Davis
plans to emphasize his views ON
religious and racial tolerance. Some
of his advisors are urging to name
the klan in the speech.
Those who take this position point
out that Democratic chances in
Ohio and Indiana, where the khan
is strong, are slim anyhow and that
Davis might as well make the most
of the strength that he is develop
ing in the east, where anti-klan sen.
timent is strongest.

FARMERS BETTER OFF

The position of the farmer has been improving
lately with the rise in the price of grain and the fall
in the price of manufactured goods. The Depart
ment of Agriculture reports that the exchange value
of farm products for things that farmers buy stands
now at the highest point in four years. Taking the
purchasing power of farm crops at 100 IN 1915 II IS
now n.
The change has come about so gradually and quiet
ly that its coming has hardly been noticed But the
farmers are becoming aware of the situation. Many
of them have not yet profited much by the improve
nent-that must wait until the marketing of the sea-
sons crops But there is moderate easing of the bur-
den throughout the great farming sections which may
result sooner than people have supposed IN re-
storing the economic balance and giving the rural pop
ulations a square deal again
There may be notable political effects. An I'M
poverished farm population in election year IS al
ways potential source of political change. Move,
ments already under way that originated IN rural
misfortune and discomfort. Will bettered conditions,
no matter how they caused modify the radical
ISM of farm groups now? That will be an interesting
thing to watch as the year advances.
