 RUN-OFF RACE

Gov. Marland was 5000 votes ahead of the Townsend candidate Gomer Smith, with fewer than 100 of the states 5000 precincts unre- ported. A demand for Q recount was expected from Smith headquarters
 The primary marked the close oi the long political career of blind Sen. T. P. Gore and the rise of Oklahoma's newest political wonder Josh Lee, who two years ago was an obscure public speaking instruc- tor.
 You must adapt or go down, and I guess I didn't adapt" Gore said when 1t was certain that he would be eliminated.
 All of the candidates campaigned against Cores conservative, anti New Deal stand. Once before the blind statesman was retired by a constituency aroused because he voted against entry Into the world war. The run-off primary will be held July 28.

NEW SCHOOL SIGN
 DISPLAYED TODAY
Being Tried Out at Jack sons Corner to Help
 Kids Cross Street
WATERTOWN
Correspondent Miss Agnes CosgrOva Phone S7S.

Because of q number of requests for information concerning the drive in town toward gofer high- ways, particularly for children cross ing the main thoroughfares on their way to and from school, the safety committee of the Baldwin Parent. Teachers Association, through ttA chairman, Daniel F7uls augmented by the first selectmaTs office pre- selts the following report: M
 The main street ct St. Johns school and at the Davis street inc tersection, affecting the pupils of South school, is c state trunk line highway under complete control of the state traffic commission. Route 6, which involves the Jackson Cor- ner and Taft School Middlebury Road corner is state aid road, for which the town of watertown is still paying. To have this highway made Q trunk line, 1t would have to be accepted by the legislature, or by the state traffic commission through certification.
 MT. Hanson of the State Highway Department has been in town for several days lately, and the latest plan is to slow down traffic from Hamilton avenue to Jackson's Corner by Q series of signs set up on tripods in the middle of the road and reading "9chool, Go Slow. These signs would have to be set LID in the morning and taken down at night. Mr. Hanson said that at 8 recent national convention of high- way and traffic men, the method of having school signs displayed was overwhelmingly endorsed. Two of these signs have been purchased by the town and are now being tried out during heavy traffic ct Jacksons Corned.

SufFern, N. r., July o. (UP)- American Legion charges of com munistic teachings at Camp Jane Addams, 8 girls relief camp. were discredited today by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt following an inspection tour.
 "Of course I can't tell you what each individual camper thinks" Mrs Roosevelt said, but my whole re- action is that a happy, healthy group that is getting it's courage back is far apt to be disintegratine element in the community"
 She said she was completely satisfied there was no communistic teaching at the camp, which she helped found.

Food Prices Increase With Spread or Great Drought

but there was no indication that re- tail bread prices were due for an immediate hike.
 Ham and bacon prices climbed. An interesting price variation was noted, with the Washington butch- CT getting 70 cents for ham, 10 cent increase, while in New York the price was just half that. In Boston a pond of ham cost 34 cents, but in DeS Moines only % cents. The Chicago price, 54 cents, is a four cent hike over that of a month ago. Bacon prices were up in eight cities. Dallas topped the rise with a ' cent hike to 42 cents a pound. But in Boston the price was 35 cents, two cents less than on June 1. Eggs and butter prices were spiraled upward and milk probably will follow unless rains restore pas- turage. Potatoes generally were cheaper today than six weeks ago, due to the new crop, but 1t is short and a rise is anticipated.
 Briefly, this is how grocers be- lieve the drought will affect kitch- en budgets:
 AtIanta-Drought prices in effect in 10 days, with a 10 to IS per cent increase to start the climb. Flour to lead the way.
 Chicago-No increases yet but ex- pect them soon.
 Denver-Merely a seasonal upturn. Drought not responsible.
 Boston-E Effects of the drought won't be felt in this section for another month.
 Memphis. Minneapolis. New Or leans--No drought effect.
 PoTtland-Hike in all prices an- ticipated.
