Sales Greatly Stimulated
 Announces President Daniel J. Leary

The recent 26 per cent price re- duction in Diamond Beverages to- gethcr with the sales promotional and advertising activities put back of these 70 year old products have very greatly stimulated sales ac- cording to Daniel Leary, president.
 Several new salesmen have been hired and several new trucks have had to be added to the dcliv- cry force to take care of the in- creased volume.
 The Diamond Bottling Corpora ton was started in 1863 marking 1t as one of the oldest Connecticut corporations. It has always enjoyed c high reputation in the State of Connecticut for the quality of it's products.
 In spite of national and local competition, the Diamond Bottling Corporation consistently earned money and paid dividends ell during the depression; and this year bids fair to be the biggest in It's history, if present indications mean anything as a forerunner of expected sales during the hot weather.

 Former Ben. George Fl. Moses, COG manager of the Knox campaign, pre- dicted a movement among southern delegates to exercise maximum in- iiuence in the convention which be- gins here next Tuesday. He said he understood there would be caucus of "solid south" delegatea sometime during the weekend.
 Knox headquarters announced there were "half enough votes to nominate" already solidly pledged to the Chicago publisher on the first ballot.
 Kansans were bubbling with en- thusiaBfl. Their Hollenden hotel headquarters was damned. From nine to every ten coat labels started the official yellow and brown sun flower badge of the Landon cam paign. Non -combattants had diffi- culty in preventing joyous Landon- ites from making 1t unanimous with Q badge on every person present.
 Allen said there had been no dis- cussion of vice-presldential possibili- ties, explaining that the delegates were intent now only on giving Kansas her first presidential nom- inee. Allen, an old campaigneT, predicted there would be a consid- erable swing of votes to Landon on the first ballot and that a stampede to him might easily begin then.
 The Kansas' decided to caucus every morning to keep the steam up in the Landon boiler.

 Fatal Accidents
 The summary states: These fig- ures should give thousand sof driy- CTS who have never had an accident something to think about. A year ago, there were 3O4 operators who could proudly say they had never had an accident, but in the year that followed they were not only removed from the honor roll, but had taken q toll of 20o lives be- cause of careless operation of their motor vehicles. Of that list, 68 operators killed themselves, victims of their own lack Of consideration for others.
 Thnlk It Over!
 These last figures should bring to every operator the terrifying thought of just what will be the result of his first, or next accident will 1t be a simple pumping Of tenders with no damage done, or will 1t mean the loss of one or more lives?"
 During the year there were 430 fatal accidents in which there were 4B4 persons killed involving 647 operators. The number of pedess trians killed was 263, the number of car occupants, l36, the number of operators Ol, and bicycliSts s.
