TROUBLES
Of Farmers Blamed on Mid
dlemen

Atlantic City, N because of the
exactions of middlemen, farmers in
this state are deserving their fields
even in sections most advantageously
located, according to David H. Agans,
master of the New Jersey Grange,
which is holding it's annual meeting
here.
"The consumer" said Mr. Agans,
"is paying enough for farm products,
and if the farmer received his fair
share of this money there would be
no trouble. The middleman, however,
crowds both the farmer and buying
public, paying entirely too little to
the former and keeping the cost up
to the latter"
The grange leader scored middle
mems monopolies," which keep the
price of farm products up to the con-
sumer even whe nthere is surplus
of such products.
when any particular product is
PLENTIFUL" he said, these men will
let the goods rot rather than allow
the surplus go to the market, result
ing in lower costs to the public. The

Abyssinian Alphabet Huge

Abyssinia Is a nation of more than
100000 of whom large percentage
are illiterate, and 1t is a coincidence
that the Abyssinian alphabet contains
236 letters. If an Abyssinian type
writer should be built on the same
plan as the one used in America and
European countries, it would have
nearly 500 keys. Without any extra
characters 1t would ordinarily have
472 keys, providing 944 letters, nu-
merals and necessary characters.

indictment added, also was told on March 20, 1922, after negotiations with Sinclair had begun, that the policy" of leasing the reserves had not been determined.
 "LOan" Is Accounted
 More briefly the two indictments dealing with the alleged $100,000 bribe, recounted the payment to Fall which the younger Doheny made at his fathers instance. Their text deals concretely with the set of incidents upon which the Senate inquiry was pressed for several weeks, when Fall declared he obtained $100,O00 as loan from B. B. Mclean, Washington newspaper publisher. Doheny, as a witness before the committee, finally testified he had sent that sum to Fall by his son, E. l.. Doheny, Jr., in a ''black bag" but that it was friendly loan.
 Attorneys for the indicted men all arranged to bring their clients into court next week, and to put up bail of $5,000 each to secure their appear ance for trial. Frank J. Hogan, one

livered a seconding speech for Me Adoo, that he went after Shannon.
 If you say that we got any money, you are q" liar and you know il" Hay said he told Shannon. Then, according to Hay, shannon hit him lightly on the shoulder. Eye witnesses said Shannon swung with his right and landed on Hays jaw. Sew eral policemen who saw the trouble rushed in and separated them. Shan non denied that he struck Hay.
 In the Illinois grabbag, McAdoo gained a vote and the others were divided about as before.
 Stick To Robinson
 Louisiana stuck to Senator Robin son and it appeared that the third ballot was going to be as indecisive as the first two.
 Missouri's 36 under the unit rule went for McAdoo. This time there was no challenge. =.
 Glass held Virginia fast. Washington stayed for McAdoo and West Virginia stayed for John w. Davis. Once more the vote was too scattered for a noni- nation.
 Once more Sthe celrk tried it. This time the fourth ballot. The call of the states drooned along showing little change. Delegates were 'caucusing on the floor and milling about in the aisles.
 Taggart Goes To Lunch
 Taggart was so sure of Indianas 50 for Ralston that he went out to lunch and left some of the women folks in tue delegation to east the ballot. Iowa under the unit. rule, stayed with Me Adoo and Kansas remained true to her governor, Jonathan Davis. Louisiana on this ballot switched from Robinson to Carter Glass of Virginia. Twenty votes were added to the Glass 24 there by. ..,.
 The fifth ballot gave promise of some switches or attempts at Aem, if the report about the floor were true. Some of the delegates voting under the unit rule were pressing to have majorities still were for their original choice.
 In Minnesota Smith picked up one vote. -~. .--3
 The call of states ran along with lit- tie or no alteration. the remaining fla yorite sons so far holding their lines fast and the Smith and McAdoo forces holding grimly on. It was obvious that the situation had not been shaken down yet.
 On the fifth ballot two leaders stood unofficially, McAdoo 443 and one-tenth, Smith 261.
 That showed that McAdoo had lost a half vote and Smith had gained a vote on the basis of unofficial tabula- tion to correction on later official an- nouncement.
 Switch To Ritchie
 Louisiana took another flyer on this ballot and gave her twenty to Cover nor Ritchie of Maryland. The Louisi. ans already had visited the camps of Senator Harrison and Senator Robin son on their excurison about the floor
 On the seventh ballot Louisiana stuck for John w. Davis of West Vir- ginia with her twenty votes. Hereto fore the twenty had been carried about to different candidates.
 Kansas, which had been voting solid ly for Governor Davis, asked to be passed when the state was called. Such action always indicated q caucus and possibility of a change. Judge Rockwell, McAdoo's manager was in conference with some of the Kansas delegates. Ss,

 After the twelfth ballot, it was re- ported that Brennan forces had decided they could best advance the Smith can didacy by nrolonging the balloting. It was suggested that the balloting would continue at least until Thursday. This was accompanied by a report that some of the MeAdoo delegates from the west planned to return home within the next day or two and that their proxies would fall into the hands of Smith men. 5' Continue To WrestIe

Club life in Washington is for the
present its one bright, particular
feature, and scarce a night passes
but finds interesting parties at golf
or tennis. turning into dinner parties
and appearing later on at the in
formal dances which are sure to fol-

Country Club is particularly unique
one, guests in evening dress, simple
Summer attire or sports clothes. all
surrounding the same table, while
dancing on the broad terraces with
only the blue sky set with stars as
a canopy, the same groups in the
same heterogeneous collection of cos
tunes may be found.
Devotees of this life are Miss Vir-
ginia Mckenney and Miss F'rederica

Representative and Mrs. Mondell
Miss Margaret Pou, the charming
daughter of Representative and Mrs.
Pou of North Carolina, who fr"I uent-
