NOnpaftlSan League plans Tor the
fall campaign will be discussed at a
conference called by the state execu-
tive committee for Bismarck on We'd
nesday, July 30.
At the same time, it is understood,
there will be conference here of
officials of the Farmer-L Labor Party
formed in North Dakota after the
Nonpartisan League convention met
last February. While the League ex-
ecutive committee announces that the
conference will be for the discussion
of matters connected with the cam
paign and any other matters of in
terest to the League, many questions
will be raised, including:
Shall the League candidates sue
cessful in the primary remain in the
Republican column?
Shall the League present candidates
to oppose the successful Independ-
Vents in the primary?
Shall the Farmer-Labor Party name
candidate for Governor, in the hope
he would poll enough votes to estab-
lish the party and gain for it a
place on the ballot?
Shall the League formally isdorse
r. M. LaFollette for the Presidency ?
Shall the League, by convention or
conference, select candidate for
Congress to oppose Thomas Hall in
the Second District and o. b. Burt
ness in the |First?, ,.
r. Cf s.f Cs~mal~~ r
The conference is expected to start
the political pot boiling for the fall
election in the state, and because Of
the present disturbed condition and
the unusual questions presented to
various factions, may have an i'm
portant bearing in Strengthening out
political lines.
Immediately after the June 25 pri-
mary when A. G. Sorlie, League, was
nominated for Governor on the Lea
que ticket there was sentiment ex-
pressed among the Nonpartisans to
"let the Republican ticket ride"
through the fall election. Another
group sprang up to urge that candi-
dates be put in the field against the
successful Independents, and after it
became apparent that LaFollette
would become a candidate for the
Presidency, to have the Leaguers
nominated on the Republican ticket
resign and all 60 in the Independent
column, where LaFollette's name will
be found.
Another group, which has caused
some Leaguers to consider the Stu
alton very carefully, is the Farmer
Labor group, which includes among
it's leaders several leading Nonparti-
sans. This group wants to cut away
from the Republican party label, es-
'tablish the Farmer-Labor party in
the state and present candidates un-
der that party label. The group was
defeated in the League convention
last February.
The situation may affect the atti-
tude of A. &. Sorlie considerably. In
order to establish the Farmer Labor
Party it is necessary that candidate

ty cast vote equal to five per cent
of the total. Should the Farmer

For Congress
Several potential candidates have
sprung up for Congressman from the
Second district, the latest being D.

TRADE HOPEFUL AS MONTH BEGINS
Industrial Men Believe That Break Will
 .Occur Soon

Having surmounted all the difficult ties of August, local industrial men view with hopefulness the advent of more satisfactory in an industrial way optimism is based upon the natural advancement expected to follow the break-up of summer, coupled with many straws which indicate that the trade winds are blowing in the right direction. During the past week the opinion of hopefulness has rested upon the placing of large contract by the Alabama By-Product corporation, in quiries.. for iron, coupled with the mild industry of whether immediate ship ment may be expected, and some sales of coal.
 The opinion is general among indus trial men, who are not accustomed to enthuse without cause, that the break is taking place. An increase in iron prices at Chicago has been followed heretofore with an increase here, and it is believed that the bookings for the first quarter of 1925 will be at much higher rate than has prevailed in some time. There is no adequate grounds for the resumption just now of iron makers, but as things freshen up, it is believed that idle stacks will be re- opened within a reasonable time.
 Indications point to revival of coal mine production by reason of the fact that domestic price advance as of Sep tember1, and also on account of the fact that some steam tonnages remain to be placed. No figures are available, but it is believed by officers of the Alabama Mining institute that the pro duction for August will be shown as having improved substantially when the reports from all operations are re- ceived and tabulated.

NEW RESTAURANT
 IS WELL EQUIPPED

Completion by John l.. Grim, Bir- mingham plumber, of the new Hooper restaurant on Third avenue, is signi- ficant of the progress attained by Bir- mingham concerns having the respon- sibility of feeding population. To day, a. system of perfect sanitation seemingly has been realized, to say nothing of meeting the demands of service as required in the operation of so large an establishment. Dishwash- ing machinery is sterilized by live steam that kills every dangerous germ. A perfect sanitary steam table has been installed by Mir. Grim for the restau- rant owner where food is kept hot. A powerful steam boiler is heated by a Sims steam unit. Every piece of ma chinery is of the latest and success fully demonstrated manufacture.
 The second floor kitchen is also equipped with a steam table and other apparatus that converts even tough meat into a delicious morsel of tender ness. October 1, second dining room will be in operation on this floor. Deco rations therein are not only well cnoser but attractive to the visitor.

years of experience in the lime business this company has also furnished a con- siderable yardage of crushed limestone on Projects 99 A and 99 B, or on the Birmingham-Montgomery highway. En- gineers and laboratories show the analy- sis of the limestone to be higher stan dard than required in all the tests.
 Assistant Secretary Smith of the company advised that the contractors and builders are specifying Eureka or Snow White Hines, and no difficulty is experienced in getting orders. The plant is running night and day.
 The company consists of some of the best known business men in the Bir- mingham district. Most of the stock holders are Birmingham people. The officers of the company are John H. Adams, as president; W. ". Wood, vice president; Frank c. Marquis, vice president; Albert Stradford, secretary and treasurer; Dr. William c. Gwin, chairman.
 With an able and efficient expert in lime manufacture, as superintendent at the plant, MT. E. M. Confer, the brands of Eureka and Snow-White Hines will always be among the foremost in the lime industry.
 O'Neal's lime has been used exclu- sively in some of the larger buildings in Birmingham and is still being used in many of the buildings being erected in Birmingham at this time. Though lime was known thousands of years ago, it is just at this time being expanded for more uses for the betterment of man. kind.

O'NEALS WORKS
 BEING IMPROVED
Active Demand For Lime Reflected By Compa-
 ny's Expansion

Wonderful improvement in the lime business is noted by the O'Neals Lime Works. It is due to the south's great building program. To care for com pany's business new quarry has been developed. The quarry has a 40-foot face, and is in the same strata that has placed O'Neal's Eureka and Snow White brands among the strongest, purest and whitest of lines. Recent analysis of the new quarry shows it to be in the center of the high grade calcium limestone found in Limestone and Shelby counties. A very high grade lime is the result of the com pany's scientific process of burning limestone.
 Plans are under way for the erection of a new lime and limestone plant at Calera where the company has large holdings. They own in fee simple 5000 acres near Calera. When the new plant is completed the company will be in position to furnish lime of all kinds on an analysis basis of limestone to any test as well as to manufacture of various by-products from lime and limestone.

Sen. Shipstead
Hurls Charge .
Against Dawes

Galesburg, ILL.,, Sept. Ex-senator
Henrik Shipstead, of Minnesota, de-
clared in an address, here last night
that he and other supporters Of La
Toilette agreed with Brig. General
Charles G. Dawes, Republican candi-
date for vicepresident, that the issue
of the campaign, "is the preservation
of the fundamentals of the American
system of government"
"But we CHARGE" added the Farm
er-Labor senator, "that Charles G.
Dawes and men of his like are the
very greatest enemies of these same
fundamentals which he so virtuously
claims to defend.
General Dawes does not specify
what he considers to be the funda-
mentals of the American system of
government. Therefore we can as
sumo that he means by that term
such transactions as have been rec
orded by the Republican administra-
tion. We can assume that he means
the transfer of the naval fields to a
large contributor to the Republican
campaign funds in 1920. We assume
he means the deflation of agricul-
ture to the extent of $4,000, 900, 600
Of dollars"

CHARGES DENIS
CAUSED FARM
DEPRESSION

Washington, Sept. 6.-Secretary
Wallace, in statement made public
by the Republican national commit
tee, declared that the "plight of the
farmers during the past four years
was directly due to Democratic
blundering and the unwise states
manship which launched System
attic deflation of the farms in 192O.''
"In the late summer Of 1920, men,
bers Of the Democratic administra-
ton served notice that the price of
farm products must come down"
Secretary Wallace said. "War sur
plus was thrown on the market.
Farmers were called on to pay their
notes, thus forcing crops on the
market. The word went out that
agriculture must be deflated, and as
prices began to drop through this
pressure, buyers withdrew from the
market except as hand to mouth
needs, which added impetus to the
decline.
"Democratic senators and repre-
sentatives in congress and in i'm
portant administrative positions have
themselves been most unsparing
critics of this ruinous democratic
policy. The result Of it all was that
perpendicular drop in the price of
farm products while the price of
everything else remained high. The
Democrats had given the farmers
such a push into the valley of de-
preston that it was six months after
the Republicans came into power be-
fore the price drop could be check
ed"

NestOs Cautions
Against Change

Hamline, Minn., Sept. 6.-North-
west farmers were cautioned against
a possible reaction from the balanc-
ed farm movement as a result of the
unusually good small grain crops
this season, in an address by Gov
ernor r. A. Nestos Of North Dakota,
at a meeting of the Northwest Dairy
exposition committee at the Mime
sofa state fair here.
Nothing other than we'll balanced
agriculture will build prosperity on
the farms of the northwest, Cover
nor Nestos said. He called atten-
tion to the fact that the beef, dairy
products and poultry Of North Da-
kota during the past year have been
of greater value than the entire
small grain crop.
