staples. Fresh meat was
limited TO the game which

II was a hard working fam
lily. Ezra's father worked In
flour mill is hours a day for
three years at a wage of about
IS a week and a few sacks of
bran for the COW. His mother
worked from sun to sun and for
good measure put in few hours
by candle light.
Ezra and his brothers
shared In the work. He grew
up all bone and sinew under
deceiving tendency To
stoutness. He experienced his.
first sickness when he was
about 60. That Is something
on which the modern dietic-
ians might ponder. He died
In his 98th year.
And here Is more food for
thought. Ezra was child when
he learned to smoke. His mother
had smoked a pipe as long as he
could remember. Matches were
scarce and he used TO light her
pipe with a coal from the fire.
place. taking few puffs to get
the tobacco started. In that way
he acquired the habit.
He smoked for about 40
years, then one day threw
his pipe away and never
touched tobacco again.
That was characteristic Of
him. Once he decided on
certain course nothing would
stop him. His old neighbors
In the Puyallup valley will
testify to that. They did
not always approve his
course but that meant little
to Ezra.
The boy who was TO become
a national figure and perpetu-
ate an emigrant trail as a great
cross country highway, had his
first experience emigrating when
he was nine years old. In 1889
his father loaded his possessions
and his family in a wagon and
started on a 200-mile journey
from the old home in Ohio to a
new western frontier in Indiana.
There was barely room in the
wagon for Mrs. Meeker and the
two young children. Ezra and
his. older brother walked bare
foot all the way. To his boyish
imagination that was as great
an experience as the journey he
was to make over the Oregon
Trail about 10 years later.

Though 1 had known Ezra
Meeker casually for a number Of
years, II was not until he re-
turned from his second trip over
the Oregon Trail that the real
significance of his interest was
realized. The beginning OF a
closer acquaintance was at the
Skagit county fair at Burlington
where I was doing promotion
work for a Seattle newspaper.
Ezra came up to sell postcard
pictures along the trail but ar
rived late. All the concession
space had been sold except a
little out-of-the-away spot. He
WAS sitting on camp stool
with the sun beating down on
him when l invited him to share
a comodious tent which housed
a newspaper exhibit. That proved
to be good business for both Of
us. The relation then established
continued through the season.
During that association he re-
lated many incidents Of his
childhood and his later expert
ences on the trail and in the
Puget Sound country. He told
the stories in much the same
quaint manner as they appear in
his writigs. Many of the Incl
dents he related are included in

EXCITEMENT is HUB
OF HOLLYWOOD LIFE

"THE Hollywood social secre-
tary must be human dy-
namo, moving in an atmosphere of
volcanic activity" says one of them
inan interview with Palma Wayne
in October Cosmopolitan. ''The
first establishment I entered was
one Of the most brilliant in the
cinema world. See my secretary
was the household password and
everything from selecting the
ermine carriage robe for Joan Blon-
dell's new baby to deciding the color
Of the new car, was left to me-"
"My Office was in the upper hall
Of the house." the Hollywood social
secretary continues. "About me
eddied the Hollywood scene, cyclonic
and spectacular. I was the center
Of ircessant voices, demanding,
claln0ring, tearing the air. There
was no privacy and no retreat. Here
l was served my luncheon on tray
which might be shared by some Wis
iting star because it looked appetiz-
ing. There were thirty-two house
telephones, the control board GEN.
tering on my desk. ALI calls were
handled by me personally. That was
my job"
"Large dinners are planned ON
the spur of the moment" she
writes, land all dinner invitations
in Hollywood are sent by telegraph.
The telegraphic 'dinner-at-eight-
black-tie' has become Hollywood
Emily Post for invitations. Dinners
are elaborate and may be followed
by pictures in the projection room
of the house-almost a Hollywood
rite. After coffee, liqueurs and pic
lures, the guests settle down to the
real business of the evening -
gambling. Hollywood lives on ex-
citement and it's peak expression is
gambling. High-salaried film folk
will bet any amount on anything
from the number of gallons of water
In a swimming pool to the sex of
someone's expected baby.
"The Hollywood social world is
composed of two distinct sets. One
includes the stars, successful pro-
ducers, ace directors and their wives.
The other, dovetailing with it at
times-in it but not Of it-consists
of women with Social Register back

since August ID, Wisconsin, Min

Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Cal

Of the "a states he has been in,
McHale stated unequivocally that
Paul V. McNutt would get at least
80 per cent of 19 delegations to
the National Convention next
year. with the President out OF
the race. Four of the states Wis
tied will have favorite son candi-
dates. he said, and when in these
states, he contented himself with
statement of the availability of
McNutt if and when the favorite
son withdraws from the race. In
cne, state, he found the sentiment
about 55 per cent for another
candidate and about as per cent
for McNutt.
McHale started on. August IA.
before the war started, and was
greatly surprised to find that, al
though the people are greatly in
terested in the war, they are also
interested in politics. "The crowds
that turned out were larger than
ever after the war started" he
said. "In every state we were
met by the ranking Democratic
officials, including National Com
mitteemen and Women, State
Chairmen, State Vice-Chairmen,
Governors, congressman, Sena-
tors, and State, County, and City
officials when they were available.
"We did not seek instructed
delegations and did not put any
one on the spot. Our case was
simple enough when we explained
it to the many meetings we at
tended and to the hundreds of
persons we interviewed. We told
our audiences and our interview
ers that the candidacy of Paul V.
McNutt was predicated on the
theory that the President will not
become a candidate.
People Know McNutt
"It is surprising how much
knowledge these people in the
West and Northwest have of Nc
Nuts record; that is. his record
as Governor of Indiana from 1888
to 1887. and of his successful ad-
vocacy of Indiana's gross income
tax. They were familiar with ar
ticles regarding McNutt that have
appeared in Time, Newsweek, Col
lier's, with the Gallup Poll, and
with various syndicated articles.
"Continually we found old and

lieve the year 1910 is no time
for the Democrats to wind up
their Convention in discord, ana
believe that McNutt is the ideal
man to solidify all the forces Of
the party and bring them into
harmony for the campaign"
McHale and Judge Fansler
spent nine and one-half days in
California, during which they saw
representatives of all the many
factions in the State. The regis
tration now being completed for
the vote on the $50 week plan
on November z shows a trend
toward a Democratic, majority Of
100000, McHale said. Under the
law, delegates to the National
Convention were elected by a
Statewide primary on the first
Tuesday in May and the candi-
dates for delegates must express
their preference for President. If
the person so preferred does not
withdraw his name, then his can
didacy is assumed.
Biggest Buildup In Colorado.
McHale said the biggest Nc
Mutt buildup was in Colorado,
where Administrator and Mrs.
McNutt have often visited. "Our
forces there are out in the open
working for our cause" he de-
clared.
While in Wisconsin, McHale
and Fansler went from Milwaukee
to Madison where the State Leg
islature was meeting. They con-
ferred with a number of its men,
bers, most of whom they found
favorable to McNutt if the Presi-
dent is not a candidate.
They attended a meeting of
Democratic tate e ders at
Waseca, Minn.,: and were we'll re-
ceived. At St. Paul they had in
terviews with several scores of
prominent persons, most of whom
were interested in the McNutt
cause.
Leaving Minnesota for Fargo
and Bismarck, N. D., they again
were welcomed by the National,
State, County and local leaders.
At Helena, Mont, they attended
Democratic luncheon with many
prominent persons.
They visited Spokane and Seat
tie in Washington and found a
rather mixed political situation,
though they believe all factions of
the State can be united around
McNutt. At Portland, Ore, they
reported almost the same situa-
ton, though, of course, the fac
tions are different.
Met Farm And Labor Leaders
"We had excellent meetings
and conferences in Phoenix, Ariz.;
Salt Lake City, Utah; Boise and
Pocatello, Idaho; Cheyenne, Wyo.;
Denver, Colo; Omaha, Neb., and
Des Moines. Ia These are all
great farm states and we found
keen interest in the Farm Pro

McHale. eve met the farm lead

the top labor leaders in the states

tives of both the C. I. o. and the
