all Roosevelt Jason men. I talked to McNutt. Farley and Wheeler. Ii wasn't that they wouldn't tell. They just didn't know. All were certain Roosevelt would run again if he were nominated by an overwhelm- ing vote, but more than that they didn't know. The confusion of these men was too real to be similated. Whom did he want for vice-presi- dent? What else2 the answer: Blank.
 What was the man who wasn' t there waiting for? Why didn't he say what he wanted? He, although absent, was running the convention and everybody knew about it. Some of them guessed that Roosevelt wanted to know by what over- whelming majority he was wanted by his party Until that offer was made, how could he say?
 In the light of events this cer- tainly was a pretty true picture of the situation, but if it ever has happened before if it ever left more delegates to a national con- vention out on a limb for so long, I've failed to find any trace of it in the record.

5FI81Es# COOKS CORNER

If you like to have your jams, conserves and fruit buffers spicy, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and F teaspoon each of cloves and mace to each gallon (16 eups) of mixture Mix the spices into the cooking mass. If you don't want your spices to darken the preserves, loosely tie tablespoons of bark cinnamon and 12 whole cloves in a white muslin bag and drop the bag into the cook ing mixture. Discard the spice bag when the jam is done.
 Sweeter And Quicker
 Use sugar syrup for sweetening summer beverages. It does a better job of sweetening than if you use plain granulated sugar and it's quicker: It often requires much stirring to dissolve sugar. To make the syrup, boil five cups of sugar in five cups of water for 10 minutes. Cool, pour into a jar or bottle, cover and store in the refrigerator.
 Testing Jelly Rubbers
 If you are not sure whether the rubber rings for fruit jars are safe to use make this test: Stretch the rubber to twice it's normal size. If it springs back quickly to its orig inaI shape use it, if not buy new ones. The purchase price of a pack age of rubbers is usually less than the loss of a jar of preserves.
 Cheese For Summer
 Cottage cheese adds food values to meals. It is a fine source of cal- cium, phosphorus, protein and vita- min G. Serve it frequently, it is economical, easily digested and works up readily into salads, sand wich and salad blends.

Sam McGee, Poem Hero, Dies;
He'll Go to Cold Yukon Grave

pressed sorrow on learning Of the
death of MCGEE. He said he picked
up the idea for the poem from a
story told at q dinner he attended
in Whitehorse, in 1906.
Working in the Whitehorse bank,
he came across the name of Sam
McCiee in the ledger. 1t rhymed so
well that he used it in the poem, not
knowing he would ever meet the
real MCGEE.
But he did, one year after the
poem was published and MCGEE had
become a legendary figure in the
North, forced to carry documents
to prove his identity.
1--WE met one day in Whitehorse, !"
said Mr.. Service MCGEE came up
to me and said, You used my name
in one of your poems,' and looked
embarrassed.
II was embarrassed too and said,
Did I?'
MCGEE walked away without 4
word.
Il regret very much the death of
Sam McGee-a worthy man."

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 10-J.
Percy Priest, veteran member of the
Nashville Tennesseean editorial staff
announced last night he would run
against incumbent Joseph w. Byrns
in the 5th district congressional
election November 5.
Mr.. Priest, who also announced his
resignation from the Tennesseean,
said he was prompted to enter the
race by Representative Byrns' stand
on the conscription bill. The Ten
nesseean editorially urged passage of
the bill.
Representative Byrns spoke against
the measure in the House, but later
said he would yield to his constitu-

BEISEKER, Alberta, Sept. 10
Sam MCGEE, whose name became
renowned through sourdough
poem by Robert w. Service, is dead.
The Sam MCGEE from Tennes-
see," who actually was a native of
Lindsay, Ontario, died in this little
Southern Alberta town last Thurs
day. His death came "a years after
Mr. Service wrote THE Cremation
of Sam MCGEE"
The poem told how MCGEE from
Tennessee was always cold, but the
land of gold seemed to hold him like
a spell" and he finally got warm
when his frozen body was cremated.
Mr.. MCGEE, 70 years old at the
time of his death, wasn't spellbound
by the search for gold, as his chief
occupations in the Yukon were cop
per mining and roadbuilding. And
he will not be cremated. He will be
buried in Rosebud Church Cemetery,
a few miles from Beoseker.

Latin American Loan
Bill Approval Sought
By Congress Leaders
Faced by Opposition
Effort to Limit
Scope Of Measure
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders strove to
win Senate approval today for the
$500,000,000 Latin American loan
bill advocated by President Roose-
welt, but first they faced the task OF
beating down the efforts CT oppo-
nents to limit its scope.
AS presented by Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York, who termed
it "an essential element in our pro-
gram of total defense" the bill
would increase the lending powers
of the Export Bank for a
three-fold purpose.
Aims Are Outlined.
Senator Wagner outlined the aims
yesterday as follows:
l. ITO expand our opportunities
in Latin American trade"
2. ITO develop in this hemisphere
all the materials necessary for our
mutual security"
3. ITO aid in the orderly market
ing of Latin American surpluses.' -
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
leader of the opposition forces, SUBJ
mitted an amendment, however,
which would eliminate action on
the first and third points and re-
strict any loans to undertakings
which would assist in the develop
ment of the resources of the West
ern Hemisphere" such as develop
ing South American production of
tin and rubber.
In the event his amendment were
adopted, Senator Taft expressed the
view that the amount of the bank S
increased capitalization might we'll
be reduced to 5000, 900 900 instead of
the $500 000, 900 proposed.
Declared New Departure"
Senator Taft asserted that loans
to assist Latin American nations in
the orderly marketing of their sur
plus products, would be "a new de-
parture" in the banks policy
President Roosevelt advocated such
assistance in a message to Congress
on July % as means of combating
the wartime disruption of trade.
Replying to Senator Taft, Sem
ator Wagner declared that "if we
