|ND|ANA'S FIGHT
IS ON THE INSIDE
Ku Klux and Internal Affairs
Feared More Than Ia Fol-
Iette Invasion.
Special Disnatch 10 Thn stnr

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 19.-An
analysis of the POLITICAL situation "a
Indiana at this time reveals general
satisfaction among Democrats and Re
publicans with their national tickets.
and little evidence of d disposition
in either party to jump the partisan
traces.
Senator La Toilette. will poll
good sized vote in Indianar but there
is no indication that it will reach
proportions that well menace the
standing of either President Coolidge
or John w. Davis. The La Toilette
strength will chiefly come from the
large industrial centers and from the
railroad workmen.
Leaders of both parties profess TO
see in La Toilette menace to the
other party. but in reality ne is more
likely to affect the Republican than
the Democratic ticket. Fer example.
La Toilette viii run strong in Lake
County, the seat of IndiAna's great
steel Industrial plants, which always
has gone Republican. In Terre Haute
and Evansville, other cities which
might be expected to gtIe the Wis
consin senator big vo.e. the local
Democratic organizations. are in pow
er and have things well in hand.
Democrats in Ft. Wayne from La
Toilette, and he prC'bs bly, will gain
Democratic votes in indianapolis. In
tensive organization work already
has been started by the Republicans
IN an effort to stem the tide to the
Wisconsin senator.
All things even, FreSident Coolidge
should win Indiarra by, d handsome ma
Jority, despite the interjection of a
third party. The greatest obstacle
in the path of Republican victory
however, is the Ku kIux Klan and
the Republican state administration.
The klan. by injecting itself in the
republican prim ary and in the con
venuon, stands as sponsor for tho
Republican nominee for governor, Ed
Jackson, and tn e remainder of th..
state ticket. The Democratic ticket
is regarded as anti klan and th..
campaign largely Will be fought on
that issue.
On top of that the RepubIicans
however, must answer for a series Of
mlfortune in the state administration
which sent Gov. McC ray to the peni
tenuary, and resulted in other scan
dalS in the state house
1t is no secret that the Democrats
are counting on their state ticket
pulling the national ticket through
while Republicans are frankly appre-
henslve that the Republican stat
tlcket may prove a. serious incurn-
brance to the national ticket.

SEEK UNION HELP
Federation of Labor Execu-

Course August !.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Word came
today from Atlantic City that tenta-
tive arrangements had been made for
meeting Of the executive committee
of the American Federation of Labor
in that city August 1 to decide the
official position of the federation in
the campaign.
La Toilette supporters within the
federation are talking a resolution,
which. while failing to put the or
ganization on record as an adjunct
to any political party. would recon-
mend to the members as individuals
the friendliness La Toilette has al
ways displayed to labor as indicative
that his candidacy offered "the great
est hopes for the attainment Of the
legitimate political aspirations of or
ganized labor"
GOmpers May Oppose 1t.
There is no doubt that conservative
members of the executive committee,
led by President Samuel Gompers,
VIII oppose any such program. Never
theless the radicals persist that it is
their intention to pin the union label
on the wisconsin senator.
They declare they will have the
support of the four railroad brother
moods and that these will be Joined
by twelve other railroad labor unions,
whose members were disappointed
when McAdoo was turned down. They
plan to have the executive commit
Zee prepare d statement contrasting
the labor planks adopted by the three
parties, and indorsing the most rad
ical of the three.
Sees Chance in II States
Julius Gerber, secretary of the New
YORK City Socialists, declared today
the combined vote of Roosevelt and
Debs in 1912 showed that La Toilette,
II he polled their strength, would
nave nucleus of IA states on which
he might depend.
The states where the figures show
the combined vote Of the Progress
slVes and Socialists to have been in
the majority ~ years ago are Cali

Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Ne
vada, North Dakota. Oregon, PennsyI-

Use OF EXPLOSIVES
FOR FARM PURPOSES
By E. R. Gross, Professor OF Rural
Engineering, Rutgers College,
New Brunswick, N. J.

The clearing of waste land of
stumps rocks or water is becoming
an important phase of agricultural
development, for immense areas of
such land throughout the country are
not under cultivation. Marshy lands,
which might be drained, occupy 75,-
100000 acres in the United States
an area fifteen times the size of New
Jersey. A vast amount of stump land
is indifferently farmed. 1t is impossi-
BILE to determine just how much pro-
duction could be increased by clear
ing. Engineers in the south say that
dynamite, will be necessary to clear
southern lands before agriculture will
have a normal development in that
section. Many states have a consid-
cradle problem in this matter of land
clearing or reclamation. Parts are
found to be swampy, parts abound in
boulders, and parts are stumpy.
Explosives have been used to adj
vantage in overcoming all these diff
ficulties. While there has been some
fear OF the consequences of using
dynamite, it has been found that there
is no great danger if properly hand
led. Furthermore, dynamite is quite
certain in action and simple to use,
and the individual who is careful may
feel perfectly safe in handling it.
When labor is expensive and time
limited the accomplishment of re-
clamation project is probably cheap

The way of life winds in and out

It leads through verdant fields,

with music of rustling leaves and
singing birds.

into valleys wide : and deep; by
strange waters, swiftly flowing; on

country which in the weather lottery
should have fairer average of dis
tribution. Again, there will be few
months-very few-which will regis
ter above the normal of heat or of
rain, but again it will be at the cost
of months which would be greatly
benefited by fairer share of the ex-
cess gigfts of sun and sky.
Let word of caution be given here
about weather records and averages
All the values can be sm0othed~ and
smothered in the figures of average
weather, rainfall. and temperatures.
There could be five inch cloudburst
on July first, tearing up the country
and doing great damage, and the
rest of the month record burning
drought, yet the average rainfall for
July would be normal. There could
be two cold waves with killing frosts
in May which would destroy the fruit
blooms in a dozen states, yet balmy
weather the rest of the month would
make the record for May read item
perature normal
The year 1924 will be marked by
several severe and unreasonable cold
waves, the earlier penetrating far
south, to the serious loss of unprOtect-
ed fruit and early vegetables. Later
ones will hit the Appalachian fruit
growers, who would do well to uss
protective devices, a suggestion which
can be extended generally to- peach,
plum, cherry and grape growers in all
sections of the North and East. The
West Coast has already learned the
lesson. The early fall months will
witness not less than three colo
waves of damaging character AND
wide extent. They. are the natural
accompaniment of the cold-dry type
of year.
| One feature of vital importance
! should be remembered: This is to be
year of violent fluctuations. Hot
waves will alternate with the coole,
periods which will dominate the year
but as the hot waves will be accom-
paniments Of droughty weather they
! will leave their unpleasant mark on
the crops.
The region of the Great Lakes east
of the Hudson, the Ohio Valley and
the Atlantic Seaboard from New Eng
land south to Virginia have much the
same weather indications, save that
the Seaboard for depth of about. 200
miles receives share Of its rainfall
directly from the ocean, and for a less
distance has its temperatures moder-
ated at both extremes by the same
influence. The whole region, includ-
ing the upper Mississippi Valley and
the lower Missouri Valley, will bear
/ the brunt of the rain shortage OF
1924. Numerous thunderstorms will
furnish the principal precipitation
but this source is too irregular and
spotty to satisfy crop requirements,
and locations within the sections
named will suffer severely.

Sixth Annual Reunion and Fish Fry
given by the Odd Fellow lodge at
Meeker Saturday afternoon and even
ing.
The Delta three-linkers carried away
the competitive silver cup for their

lodges conferred the degrees in most
perfect and impressive way.
There were over 300 in attendance
and the success of this years reunion

one yet held The spirit of true fel-
lowship was manifested by the many
who attended, which represented Odd
Fellows of many states, who happened

vacations
The fish fry took place at 5 p. m,
and there was plenty for everybody.
The Delta contingent are loud in
their praise for the most generous
treatment and glorious time which
they had from their hosts.
