The array of filings on the sew
eral tickets is growing. It must
also be said that some of those
seeking political honors would never
have been heard from only by the
right zgiven them by the primary
law allowing them to get on the
ketNproviding they had the
money, for filing fees. After cleo
ton they will again go into eclipse
only to shine in social gatherings or
when being introduced as "erstwhile
candidate for governor, senator,
ETC." The free advertising secured
for a small fee is also worth some
thing and the awe inspired by the
high sounding titles of Candidate
for" in the old country makes the
filing fee an investment in publicity
of untold personal value.

FORD CAR BUSINESS NOW
ENORMOUS AND INCREASING

Retail deliveries Of Ford Cars anG
Trucks in the United States during
the month of March reached the re
cord breaking total of 205, 735, il
was announced by j. A.. Rothman
local agent for the Ford Motor Com.
pany here today.
Nothing in the history of the
Automobile Industry compares with
this remarkable record.
A significant feature developed
during the last ten days of the
month when sales averaged 10,804
cars and trucks a day, indicating
that the spring buying rush has be-
gun and that under this enormous
demand production of the company
will be taxed to the limit in an en-,
deavor to meet the heavy flood OF
orders.

Since Governor Preus made the
memorable statement in Washing
ton that the midwestern states might
go haywire insofar as the Repub-
lican ticket is concerned he has
been severely razzed by a number
of papers in these states. We
think that the governor was just a
little pessimistic owing to expert
ences he had gone through in the
past two years and that he bases
his predictions on this personal feel
ing more than on the sentiment of
these states.

HUBBARD BROS. $ co. LETTER

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-The market opened steady this morning owing to a fairly good demand for October. However, during the first half hour. It was quite dull and very little business was done-eyen in view of the fact that. the weather map showed continued clear weather in Texas and also on reports from New Orleans houses and from re- ports gathered on the floor that the storm predicted in the Caribbean sea apparently was not going to break and would not relieve the drought. as was hoped Of course, this information was extremely buIlish; but, regardless of that, heavy liquidation took place the 27-50c level At this point, enough demand made it's appearance to cause the market to react to around 2sc. The market will be extremely cratic in view of the fact that we are approach ing another government report and be- cause private reports unfortunately have been so far out of line this year that the trade generally is in a Quan- dary as to what to expect. We antici- pate that this report that is due will reflect somewhat the hot weather in Texas and show deterioration in that state Until such time, however, as the trade make up it's mind as to what the crop will be. we do not anticipate a great deal of support, although we ultimately look for higher prices, The market had a sharp upturn toward the close recovering all the losses of the morning

 A southern employer engaged a cOlOred man. He soon discovered that the negro was doing very little work. So he asked him:

Although he has vast business responsibilities in connection with the Dupond Powder interests and as head of General Mo tors, Mr. Dupont contrives to find tlme to take very active part in edu- eauOnal work. He combines erudition with business ability. I rather sus- peet he is more interested in seeing that children get good education than m sweating to pile up more millions. He isn't a believer in an eight-hour day for himself.

Emory Wants To See Aides

CHICAGO, Aug. 2-On his sixtieth birthday and marking his retirement from business, which he developed for 37 years and which is rated as worth $100,O00, J. R. Emery, presi- dent of the Union Motor Club Delivery, has presented the company as a gift to his six oldest employees.
 Philanthropy did not inspire the gift, he said, but his desire to give the em- ployes who assisted him in making his money a chance to make more for them selves.

DEMAND FOR STEEL
 SHOWS LIGHT GAIN
Fair Trade In Pig Iron With
 Prices Steady

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-TAere was a further slight improvement in the de- mand for steel during the weekend, while it was not of sufficient volume to indicate any important change in the attitude of consumers, 1t was com sidered encouraging and leading au thorities were quite optimistic over the future. A favorable business out. look as a result of the big advances in farm products and the more prom ising financial developments abroad were believed to have a direct bearing on the market. Pig iron was not ac- tive, but there was a fair trade and prices were steadily held.
 Copper showed an easier tendency and was available at 131A cents late in the week, with second hands offering a shade lower, although big producers were not pressing metal at the decline. Not only was domestic consuming de- mand less active, but the favorable progress of the allied conference at London failed to stimulate foreign de- mand during the week. Some specu- lative inquiries up to early 1925 were noted but offerings of the deferred de- liveries were light.
 Tin advanced over a cent a pound, the upward movement in London and favorable monthly statistics stabilizing support from leading trade interests and restricting of futures. Consuming demand remained quiet.
 Lead was advanced s a ton but ur- gent demand appears to have been sat- isfied and market becam less active.
 Zinc was easier with a less active inquiry from both domestic and for eign interests.
 Anthony firmly held but business was less active as buyers were not irl- clined to meet the higher prices asked.

to prove to have been of no conse- quence or benefit. However, the re- ports induced liquidation, inspired short selling and suppressed fresh buying, all of which had a demoralizing effect at times upon values. The eastern and central belts have had a period of dry and hot weather, which has been of benefit in those sections. The mar ket is likely to continue cratic, with quick prices changes but we feel 1t should be bought on sharp declines for quick profits, unless general soaking Texas rains occur, when sales would seem advisable.
 The wheat market has been cratic this week. We still feel that 1t Is a purchase on all moderate declines for profits of two or three cents. It looks like a bull year in all commodities.- Chas. Fairchield & Co.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-Cotton for the short session was a rather small and nervous market, with trading profess sional and evening-up for the weekend. Further selling after the opening be- cause of bearish sentiment due to the carry-over figures of yesterday de- pressed October to 27.55c; but, where covering and trade buying checked the decline, professional buying in the sec ond hour found contracts scarce and October ran up. to 2S.40c.

MOSCOW, Aug. 2.-The demonstra- tions gaainst war, the rapitalistic state of society and the second internationale which have been in progress throughout Russia since Wednesday, culminated to- day in huge street parad ; of workers communists and student organizations carrying banners and transparencies conforming militarism and capitalism.
 The trade union council ordered all factories to suspend work at 1 p. m.. so the employees might participate in the demonstration. Lenine's tomb in Red Square, which was reopened to the public yesterday, was visited by many of the marchers after the paraGes dis banded, but special permits from the district soviet were required for admit tance.
