COOPERATION History

The history of agricultural co-opera-
ton in the United States runs back to
the Civil war. Records Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture show
that the first cooperative cheese fac
tory was established in 1868, and the
first organization Of fruit and vege-
table growers in 1873 Two organiza-
lions of grain growers were formed in
1887, followed in 1890 by an organiza-
ton Of live stock ralsers. The coop
erative movement has developed slow
ly while other pioneers were putting
their theories into practice.

The carrying capacity of sweet
clover pasture is exceptionally heavy.
This varies, Of course. with the season
and with the soil, but as a general av-

to accommodate one head per acre

m3tortrucks and machines in China
during the last ten years, reports to
the Department of Commerce show,

stantly rising growth Of the gasoline

amounted to 6.365,0OO gallons as COM
pared with the 1914 figures of $4,000

Amount of Grain to Feed

Shippers and dry cows only require
a small amount Of grain but when
they freshen and are carefully started
the grain should be gradually in
creased to full ration If they re-
spond and pay for it. A good rule Is
to feed a pound of the grain for every
three pounds of 5 per cent milk pro-
duced in day, and pound for every
four pounds Of 8 to 81 per cent milk.

ROME, September Is P.-The
American Ambassador, Henry P.
Fletcher, was received today by Pre-
mier Mussolini, dined with Finance
Minister Count Volpi and had long
conversations with both in prepara-

United States before and during the
sojourn there of the Italian Debt Com

President Coolidge, Secretary Mellon
and the American Debt Funding
Commission for any explanation de-
sired.
Count Nolpi expects to arrive in
the United States between October %
and 25, by which time he believes the
American negotiations with the
French will have been concluded.
The Italian finance minister is con-
vinced that he will be able to reach
an agreement with the Americans.

RULE OF NEW YORK
|NBALANCE TODAY
Question Whether Smith or
Hearst Will Boss Party
Hangs on Primary.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. September 15-New
York City's electorate goes to the polls
today to end with its ballots a most
stirring and far-reaching primary cam
paign.
On the surface todayS balloting is
merely the expression of Republican
and Democratic voters in choosing
their mayoralty and local candidates
for the election November 3. Under
meath, however, in the minds of many.
is struggle between two powerful
figures, one a governor and one a pub
Usher. for the leadership of New
York's. State Democracy, with fight
for a presidential nomination in the
offing.
Murphy Prevented Split.
For eight years John f. Hylan,
Democratic protege of William Ran
dolph Hearst, has been the chief execu-
tive of the largest city in the United
States. During his administration the
city has been confronted with many
pressing problems. Subway construc-
ton, relief of traffic congestion, hous-
ing, suppression of crime, grade cross
ing removal and garbage disposal have
been some of the most vital questions.
During six of those eight years the
mayor had a nominally united party
behind him, held within the firm grasp
of Charles F. Murphy, the leader OF
Tammany Hall.
Early in 1924 Mr.. Murphy died. and
with his relaxing grip came the split
that he had combated successfully for
many years. His death marked the
starting point of two Democratic fac
tions, one that looked toward Mayor
Hylan and Mr.. Hearst for leadership
in city affairs, the other that turned
to Gov. Smith. This latter group
more and more showed dissatisfaction
with the mayors accomplishments in
solving New Yorks problems and in
displaying it's intention that he should
be supplanted.
Hylan Repudiated.
There was no open break until the
Democratic leaders of the five bor
oughs of New York gathered together
to select their slate for today's pri-
mary and the election. Tammany
Hall, under it's new leader, George w.
Olvany, and the Bronx County COM
mittee, broke definitely with the
mayor and selected State Senator
James J. Walker, minority Senate
leader and long a political co-worker
with Gov. Smith. Brooklyn, Rich
mond and Queens threw their sup
port to denomination Of the mayor.
1t was then that all New York's
political eyes were turned toward
Gov. Smith. Whom would he support?
With his great personal popularity.
popularity attested by his three terms
as chief executive of the State, and
the determined fight made by his fol-
lowers in the Democratic national
convention in 1924 to capture the
presidential nomination for him
against William Gibbs McAdoo, the
governor was easily the most out
standing member of his party In the
State.
Although he had refused the leader
ship of Tammany Hall. a post that
went to Mr.. Olvany, his advice was
constantly sought by Democrats. He
threw his support to Senator Walker
and the Hylan wing opened it's revolt.
At first the mayor directed his at

they objected. but despite their pro-
tests they were herded into the patrol

with On Leongs during the trip to
the Federal Building.
Chicken Killed for Peace.

midnight by national leaders of the
tongs. meeting in the offices of Zian

The peace conference was dead
locked for several hours. Acting Capt.
John Archipoli of the gangster squad
the arbiter, said that the tong leaders
differences were too trivial to war
rant indiscriminate slaughter.
1t developed that the chief bone Of
contention was the interchange Of
members between the tongs. The pact
provides that a member Of either tong
may withdraw and become a member
Of the other, providing that the sec
retaries of the tongs are notified and
that the application for membership
is published in a, Chinese paper.
The kilograms sent out over the
signatures OF tong leaders said:
Peace has been signed. All rela-

Mr. Buckner revealed that leaders
of both tongs had offered to sign a
peace If he would stop the raids. He
said he spurned the offer.

POLICE SEEK MAN
HELD FOR THEFTS
Comb City While Postal Head
Is Arraigned Before United
States Authorities.

While police today were securing
Washington for Harry w. Ransdell,
superintendent of the West End post
Office at 1714 Pennsylvania avenue, in
the belief that he had disappeared
from home, Ransdell was being ar
raigned before Commissioner Need
ham Turnage on charges preferred by
postal inspectors involving the en-
bezZlement of S1,1f0.
RansdeIl pleaded not guilty, waived
preliminary hearing and was re-
leased under $4,000 bond to await
action of the grand jury.
Called by Wife.
The police search was started last
night when a telephone message, os-
tensibly from Mrs. Ransdell, told de-
tectives at the third precinct of the
discovery of a note from her husba nd
saying he would be found near the
Speedway" A mystery, in the eyes
of the police, cropped up when police
were unable to locate Mrs. Ransdell
at her home, Apartment 200, 1920 L
street, last night and were unable to
reach her at the telephone number
she had given.
Meanwhile, Ransdell had been taken
the local branch of postal inspectors
and arrangements were made for a
hearing this morning.
Commissioner Turnage was inform.
ed of a statement obtained from Rams
dell to the effect that he had started
on small scale on peculationS, which
gradually became larger.
The postal inquiry developed yester-
day after an examination of the books
of the West End post office, which dis
closed substantial shortage, il was
said.
Ransdell was notified that he would
be expected to appear before postal
authorities for any statement he might
wish to make regarding alleged mis-
appropriation of funds. He voluntarily
made his appearance before the au-
thorities. and the hearing followed
shortly thereafter. Bond was provid-
ed by Milton S. Kronheim, profes-
sional bondsman, after the hearing.
Was Highly Respected.
The West End post office is one of
the most important branches in the
city. 1t handles much of the bulky
business from the upper business
section and the superintendency there
was regarded as an important post
in the local postal system.
The Ransdells had lived at the
apartment on L street since a year
ago last August. Ransdell was
known as a cheerful and highly re-
spected resident of the apartment, it
was said.
Efforts of the police to locate Rams
dell took such an extreme turn this
morning that precinct detectives
clambered in the window of the
apartment from a ledge on the side
Of the building, but found nothing
there except a morning newspaper.
Police were beginning to fear foul
play in the case and to take extensive
search measures when news of the
location Of Ransdell reached them.
