READING, Pa, June 5.--The So
cialist party sought today to raise
100000 to defray the cost of a
Nationwide campaign by Norman
Thomas of New York and Darling
ton Hopes, Reading. Pa, its presi-
dental and vice presidential cam
didates. selected unanimously in
national convention yesterday.
More than $4,000 in cash and
pledges was raised among delegates
at the closing convention session
which named its 1914 national ticket
amid the singing of party songs
cheers and the playing of piano
and a bass fiddle.
Mr.. Thomas, 59-year-old veteran
of Socialist campaigns, former min
lister, and four times head of his
party's national ticket, said he ac-
cepted nomination only because of
the unusual times and the opportu-
nifty to combat what he called the
"imperialistic' peace aims of Allied
leaders.
He declared the time is not far
distant when new party will be
welded from Socialist, labor, farm,
cooperative and other minor party
groups of like mind. His platform
says the situation cries aloud" for
a third leftist party, with the So
cialists leading the way.
In his acceptance speech, Mr.
Thomas derided the war and peace
aims of President Roosevelt and
other United Nations leaders He
praised the Socialist platform,
which calls for an immediate politi-
cal peace offensive" socialization Of
American war plants and basic in
dustry and banking and equality of
races.
Mr.. Hopes, who is A., is making
his first appearance on the party's
national ticket. He has been active
in State politics since 1916. He
takes the place on the ticket occu-
pied four years ago by Maynard c..
Kruger, 39-year -old economics
teacher at the University of Chicago,
who asked that he not be consid-
cred for denomination since he may
run for Congress from the second
Illinois district.
In accepting the vice presidential
nomination, Mr.. Hopes said fear
of insecurity in this country could
be banished forever ''if only we plan
and produce for use as we have for
war"

Meeting With Nazi
Leaders Related
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Peter GlSSlbl, Government wit
ness at the sedition trial of 2e
defendants. told in District Court
today OF a trip he made to Ger
many in 1888 while he was Chi

He said there was a unit of the
Nazi party on the steamship Bre-
men of the North German Lloyo
Line on which he sailed, and thai
it held meeting on the ship. which
he attended.
In Germany. Gissibl added. he
met several Nazi officials who for
merly had been prominent in the
Bund or in its predecessor, the
Friends of New Germany. These
he said, included Joseph Schuster
then commanding a regiment oi
Storm Troopers: Hans Vennekohl
an official in Berlin, and the wit
ness brother Fritz Gissibl. who was
in the Nazi propaganda ministry.
Seek to Show Nazi Link.
The Government brought out this
testimony in line with it's attempt
to show close link between the
American Bundists and the Naz
party. The 20 defendants are
charged with joining a Nazi con.
spiracy to incite mutiny in the
armed forces of the United States
Another contact which Gissib
told of making during his stay In
Germany was with Paul Wurm, sec
retary of Julius Streicher, editor OF
Der Steurmer, and powerful figure

viously had been national leader OF

the witness, organized the old Teu-

Babson Tells Hon1eseekers
How to Pick Best Location

answer In order TO check their
answers to your other questions. As
a rule. these experimental stations
are located In the good soil peck
cts" having the best temperature
and rainfall conditions. There
fore, you should try to locate in
one OF the good soil pockets"
which has been selected for an Ell
perimental station. This IL my
third conclusion.
There, however, l. another even
more important reason why you
should be near one Of these sta
tions:-You are to be more or less
a novice as to farming. Yet, the
raising OF crops and live stock Is
fast becoming a science. By know
ing what to plant, when to plant,
how to plant and the best methods
OF fighting insects. fungus, etc, you
can cut your work in half and dou-
BILE your crops. BY being located
close to an experimental station.
you both enjoy good soil and
you are in q position to visit the
station and ask questions and get
very valuable help. Hence. my
forth and final conclusion Is that
you should buy your Ave acres as
near as possible to an experimental
station.
Buy Something You Can Always
Sell
One other thought: The time may
come when you or your family will
want to sell your little farm. Such
homesites are, as a rule, like most
everything else in this world
easier to buy than they are TO sell.
This rule, however, usually does
not apply to locations close to an
experimental station. II It direct
ly adjoins government land the gov
eminent may be q possible pur-
chaser at q good price when you
desire to sell. Hence. by locating
according to these conclusions you
are not only sure Of good soil and
valuable free help to get started
right, but are pretty sure to have a
fair market for your place when
ever You wish to sell 1t.

BY Robe w. eabson

Babson Park, Mass. Sept. l. I
have received numerous letters
asking advice as to what part OF
the United States Is best for a
small sustenance farm Of Ave
acres. Some are from people who
are about to retire on a pension;
while others OF these letters are
from the wives of Army officers
who are now In the service. These
people are not intending TO oper-
ate commercial farms. They mere
ly want a place. close 10 a town
or small city, where they can raise
enough food to feed them and be
independent. Then their only mon
ey expense will be for taxes and
the cost Of clothes, church offer
ings, recreation. etc.
Selecting q State
In addition to answering these
letters l am passing my four con-
illusions on to my five million week
ly readers. My first conclusion Is
that soil Is OF prime Importance
but that every state In the Union
has one or more pockets of excel
lent soil. This means that you.
yourself, can select the state In
which to live. My second conclu-
sion is that different good soil
pockets" should be considered &C
cording to your health, age, cul-
ture, recreational and other fac
tors involved; also according to
where your relatives are located.
Hence, every reader can for him
self select state In which he
should be happy; but needs help in
selecting the states special soil
pocket" best suited to his needs.
This means that, after selecting
state In which you desire to To-
cate, you should write to It's agri-
cultural department. Address the
letter to the states capital city
where the department has it's head
quarters. Explain to the depart
ment just what you want to do,
how much money you have to
spend, etc. Tell them your age
and Of what your family consists.
Be sure to explain that you wish
only q sustenance farm and that
you do not wish to 60 into CONNER
cial farming. Then ask their ad-
vice as to which part Of their state
will best fill your needs. You can
continue to correspond until you
find the right location.
Choosing tho Final Spot
Be sure also to ask for . list OF
the localities in the state where
either the state or the federal gov
eminent has an agricultural ex-
perimental station. You needn't
tell them the reason for asking
this question. but Won need the
