K. LAFOLLETTE WUconain Senator Is Chosen on His Own Platform. Cleveland, Ohio.--Senator Robert -H. LaFoliette was indorsed (or President as an Independent Progressive, ,*pon his own platform, by the nation- ' ill convention of the Conference for * " progressive Political Action which ad- , fourned sine die Saturday.^ The selec- Won of a vice presidential candidate * - for his running mate was referred * . •/ <P the national committee of the con- S" : Jerence/ln co-operation with the La- /ilfoHette , for President committee, ^eaded by R. T. Itawleigh of Free- • '* j^ort. 111. LaFollette's wishes will be r followed in the selection. V Not being able to adopt a platform, the resolutions committee contented Itself with reporting a "program of ' public service," which is practically rewrite of ™ the LaFoliette plat- V $onn with a few changes, such as , . Resolutions sympathizing with Ireland's light for independence, author-' "y Ifcing the sending of food by bur gov- > .-"•.•K^(||rninent to starving Germany ana prov| iesting against the "plan of President . ./t'oolidee for holding a mobilization day on September 12." The latter resolution was added on motion of Delegate Wax Swiren, mem- ^•••J|»er of the Liberal club at the Unl- .• ffersity of Chicago, a follower of the „ "youth movement," and a friend of Nathan Leopold, who is awaiting trial for the Franks murder. The "youth" delegates throughout the two days' session displayed a large red flag from the balcony, on which was inscribed "No more war." No G. O. P. convention rue Democrat gathering of other days could hope ; JEor as smoothly running a steam V... rjtoller as was operated at this conference by the railroad shop crafts 4 * through the gavel of Chairman Wil- "; Jlam H. Johnston, International president of the machinist^' union and former bass „drummer for the Salvation Army. It has been seen by the credentials committeo that none of the Communists at the St. Paul convention sained •eats in tliis gathering, lest the red tinge might hurt the LaFoliette caniflidacy, and Johnston's gavel took -Care of any other incipient outbreaks from Socialists, New York garment Workers, or other radicals from the floor. New Party Aftar Election. The report of the organization and campaign committee, containing the Indorsement which the convention approved, also provides for the formation of a permanent new political party after the November election. The national committee is called upon to organize July IS at 10 o'clock, and on November 20, to Issue a call fop a special national convention in January to form a permanent Independent political party for national and local elections. With LaFoliette Indorsed preliminary plans were laid for a whirlwind campaign to begin at once and continue up to election day. Representative John M. Nelson of Wisconsin, chairman of the progressive bloc in the house, who will be Senator LaFollette's campaign manager, had a long conference after the convention adjourned with leaders of the convention and two delegates from each state. Ideas were exchanged on the form of campaign organization to be set up and the character of the fight to be waged. Headquarters In Chicago. Nelson will open headquarters in , Chicago immediately, working in cooperation with the national committee of the conference. The Indorsement of LaFoliette was presented to the conference by E. J. ' Manion, president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers,-as chairman of the organization and campaign committee. Morris Hillqult of New York, representing the Socialist party, wcond-L ed the motion to adopt the commit-, tee's report, abandoning the tight of the Socialists for the formation of a new party at this time. A. Lefkovitz of New York, representing the Farmer-Labor party of the United States, added the approval of his party to the indorsement. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch of New York seconded the indorsement on behalf of the progressive women. Mrs. Blatch is a member of the national committee of the Conference for Progressive Political Action and a member of the executive board of the Woman's Committee for Political Action. She represented the latter organization as a delegate in the convention. Mrs. Blatch lauded LaFoliette as the man who stood ready to help women In their fight for suffrage when the two old parties stood against them. - When Mrs. Blatch had concluded she was accorded an ovation. Several delegates cried, "Mrs. Blatch for vice president." '> * Offers Financing Plan. Harry Daugherty, grand chief of th« Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, reporting as chairman of the finance committee, recommended that funds to finance the campaign be raised through appeals to the general public "through the press, to members of the organizations represented in the convention through their own groups, and by collections at all meetings, "as a matter of principle.". The report wa&- adopted unanimously. Fowls Should Have Plenty of Mash and Green Feed and Be Vermin Free. Those Mad Wags T/T*.

"--Boston Tran script. . Pmlate Ticklers '• Probably 90 per cent of all digestive troubles are due to the fact that great majority of people Uw to art !*• stead of eating to live. Although the pouitryman should do some culling every month in the year, if he can make but one culling, the time to make it is the first of September, say the Cornell poultrytuen who give some practical culling ru'es. They declare that culling out the poor producers from the flock is the easiest and the quickest way to save money. During the culling season, the hens must have plenty of mash and green food and be free from mites; otherwise good layers may show all the signs of non-layers. It is also well to keep in mind that changes of feed, buildings, weather, and the like may bring about the appearance of nonlaying conditions. Broody hens also have this appearance. 8lgns of Good Product** Hens that have laid long and heavily have s different appearance from those that have not. These differences are in physical appearance and actions. The heavy producing bird is a worker, a good feeder, intelligent, elusive but not flighty, keen of eye, a good ranger, late to bed, early to rise. The low producer is indolent, flighty and an indifferent eater, with little activity. In all yellow-skinned breeds like the Leghorns, Rocks, Reds, Wyandottes, Brahmas, and the like, it is possible to tell by the color of certain sections of the body whether the hens are laying or not A heavy layer Is flesh color, or white, in the beak, eye ring, ear lobe, vent and shanks, while a nonlayer Is distinctly yellow. A sick hen shows white in all sections and must not be confused with a layer. Also some breeds have a white skin naturally, and in these breeds there are no color changes. There are changes in form as welL A laying hen has a large abdomen and. the rear end of the keel is much deeper than the front She also has well spread pelvic bones, full moist Make Good Silage From Different Legume Crops Some farmers have reported excellent results in making silage from alfalfa, clover, and other legumes, while others report that their legume silage was so poor the cows would not eat It The great extremes in the results reported as to the palatabilty of legume silage led Professor Eckles to investigate this question. He found that the difference in quality was apparently due to the amount of water in these legumes when ensiled. For two years they had made good alfalfa silage at the Missouri station, but the next two years the silage was practically worthless. In going over this experience, It was noted that the first two years were dry years and the analysis of the alfalfa when ensiled showed a high percentage of dry matter. The next two years were wet years and the analysis those years showed that the dry matter content was considerably less at the time the green alfalfa was ensiled. Further investigations showed that if alfalfa were made Into silage when green and succulent, as it is at the usual time of making hay, it contains about 20 pounds of dry matter to the hundred and, under these conditions, would not make good silage. If it were drier and more mature and contained approximately .40 pounds of dry matter to the hundred, then It makes good silage. •ent, soft flabby skin, broad flat back, while in a non-layer the abdomen is small, the vent dry and puckered, the skin thick and dry, and the back short, narrow and arched. Hens Molt In July. A molting hen usually sto^pi laying; but in some of the heavier breeds they will molt to some extent and still lay. Leghorns usually stop laying when they begin to molt Molting during the summer is one of the best ways to distinguish the non-layer from the layers. A good layer, well managed, will not begin to molt until October 1 or later. Hens that have been well cared for and are in full molt by the middle of July are not worth keeping. The eyeballs of the laying hen can easily be seen when viewed from the rear, the comb is bright red and full, the beak short and curved, the face full and of fine texture. Non-layers have dull, embedded eyes, long straight beaks, hard shriveled combs and fat faces. !: Kill* Himself While Family Is at Church Chicago.--Coiles Engh, flftyeffrht, used a shotgun to kill himself while his wife and two sons were at church.

Outdoor Girl Has HIDING UNDER BED, MIMICKED A MOUSE Excellent Qualities y f - Texas Honey Ball Melon A new type of melon, called the Texas Honey Ball, which Is a cross between the Texas Cannon Ball cantaloupe and the California Honey Dew melon, will be found In the markets this year, reports the United States Department of Agriculture. The melon Is almost perfectly round In shape and averages about five inches In diameter. Approximately 2,500 acres of the melons have been planted In Texas, the department says, which should produce, under favorable conditions, around 1,250 carloads. Only 65 acres of the melons were planted last year, largely for experimental purposes. The meat of the new honey melon Is similar In texture to that of the Honey Dew, 1% Inches thick, and Is covered by a smooth, thin rind, fairly well netted. The chief merits of the melon are Its shipping qualities and flavor. Shipments can be made without refrigeration to any section of the United States requiring ten days' to two weeks' time. The melon Is not susceptible to' damage from bruises caused by ordinary handling. Wifefs Complaint Against ^ Lot Angeles Man. Los Angeles.--When Aubrey Mac- Bain, Hawthorne photographer, wanted to annoy his wife, he put his mind to the matter and evolved a method tnat veteran attaches of the office of County Clerk Lampton, on reading the complaint of Mrs. Adelean MacBaln, hailed as a novelty In the line of mental cruelties. He hid under the bed and made a noise like a mouse, Mrs. MacBaln declared. When finally she summoned up sufficient courage to look under the bed for the mouse and saw a man, she was scared almost to death, she asserted. And to top off the occasion, she recited, he then crawled out from under the bed and threw shoes, books and clothes at her.

At the home of the R. Krebs family the large black ton cat has night privileges. So solicitous has the family been for Tom's rights In the home that the members have followed the practice of determining whether the cat is out. If he is the rear door is left open for his return. •*?" It was during such a period that the burglar entered the house and ransacked It. When the family awoke In the morning, the door was still ajar and the cat was home. Sports clothes are like the perennials In the garden. They are not for a place or a season, for all life in the social world and Its provinces has moved Into the open, and the proper trappings for outdoor play have become matter for the serious consideration of the designers, writes a fashion correspondent in the New York Times. The oldtlme modistes had no such problem In their trade, for they had to 6olve only the difficulties of gowns for dancing and fining, for mornings and afternoons on verandas, for riding and driving. Quite different costume requirements developed when sports became fashionable. No especial outfit waa needed to play a game of croquet In grandmother's day, and her riding skirt was a travesty on a house dress and a torture to her mount. But the change In social standards and customs created demand for proper clothes and, with them. Intriguing styles. A leaven of common sense and a feeling for the Order and fitness of things brought from the best houses of Paris, of London and New York a sports wardrobe to equip the women of fashion. The women who first outraged the Conventions by riding astride established a mode, and the flapper who left her motor for a cross-country hike YOUTHS TRAPPED ^ , ON ROCK IN SEA ; « BY RISING TtD$ 3 ... .

Is a suggestion from the agronomists of Clemson college. Good seed oats are very scarce this season, and should be carefully saved by farmers who have them. They will bring a good price this fall. If properly stored and kept so that they will be free from injury by rata, mice and weevils. It is very difficult to prevent damage to small grain during summer months. It is Important to have some place, either a granary or a barrel, where planting seed may be fumigated. Clover Is Helpful The growing of clover In a threeyear rotation, especially If the second crop of clover Is plowed under, would keep many soils in splendid condition for a long term of years, although many other soils would be benefited by a dressing of one to two tons of limestone per acre once In each rotation period and also by the addition of acid phosphate for one of the crops in each rotation. The plowing under of the second crop wlli grid considerable nitrogen. ; DECLINE NOTED IN PRICES OF AVERAGE DAIRY CATTLE Pure Bred Aged Bulls Bring More at Private Sale. (PnMT*d by tha United St*t«s Dapertmant of Aerieultnr*.) Average sale prices of pure bred dairy cattle for the year ending December 31, 1923, ranged from $133 for bulls under one year to $268 for bulls over three years of age, according to reports submitted by breeders to the United States Department of Agriculture. The breeds Included were: Ayrihlre, Guernsey, Holsteln, Jersey, and Brown Swiss. More than twice as many animals were disposed of at private sale as were sold at auction. Auction prices, however, averaged from $25 to $50 per bead higher than those realized in private sales. Aged bulls were an exception, such animals bringing more In private sales than at auction. The following comparison by agea shows that prices in 1923 were somewhat lower than in 192S: AfN IMS Bulls under one rear of afire. tlM Bulla over one and under three years of agre Ill Bulls over three years of agre 4SS Heifers under one ye&r of age 111 Cows and nelfers over one and under three year* of age Sll Cows over three years of a*a 1W llil liia 2oe 168 US IJ» 111 e The top bull and cow each brought $7,500.

Suitable and charming things began to be expressed by artists who felt the Inspiration to create something different and the experiment of gowning the sportswoman has been the upique feature of the last few seasons. Sports Clothes Are Becoming. Sports clothes for women have a youthful quality. They express sex less than any other type of dress because of their boyish lines, yet, if cleverly drawn, they are becoming to the delicacy and femininity of the women who wear them. The couturteres of Paris, who have ever been notorious for their disfavor of the tallleur in any version whatsoever, are converts to the sports dress, whether entire, the single frock, the skirt and blouse or the sports coat. Taking over the vigorous English type along with its fabrics, the Parisian designers have established th« most fitting, most becoming, most chic sports suits for every out-of-doors activity. It has been a matter of revolution and evolution, from the most frivolous frou-frou type to the breezy, athletic, up-to-date young person whe demands the sort of togs that wlLI best serve her and most charmlnglj clothe her at tennis and golf, cross country riding and driving. The results are delightful. Among the most attractive modeli In sports dress of every sort and for every possible occasion are the things that are done by American dressmakers. Our own designers have adopted the best from every other source and produced a composite something that best adorns the smart American woman. The department of sports clothes has grown far beyond any other. Tha first outfits offered were flannels, home^ spuns, tweeds In skirts and sweaters or skirts with shirts and blazers or jacquettes of some sort The outer garments had necessarily to be adjusted to the underthlngs, the stays • and other trappings of a staid and forj mat age. But the elastic belts, bras- | sieres and other simpler, softer ways j of dressing, and the straight silhouette | as well, have completely changed the j style of the sports suit and have given • It a uniformity from collar to hem. The handsomest materials, fine In quality, artistic In color and pattern, are used In the frocks and coats, skirts and Jackets designed for the different sports that nowadays occupy the time of the greater number of women In the world of fashion, and for out-ofdoors generally. Social life of the present day Is lived In the open in every season, shifting from Newport and Southampton to Tuxedo, back to to town, to Florida, the Riviera and the Pacific coast, back to town again, then to the Springs and once more to summer hnunts. For all of these places are required a large number of sports suits. Knitted Dress Is Chle. The knitted dress was the ugly duckling among all the pretty, smartly cut sports clothes that came out a tew seasons ago. It was established as a suitable model of dress for any and all occasions In the country, for walking and driving, for the beach, for lounging and for a woman's comfort and happiness generally. But It was unlovely and was accepted slowly, and only the unsmart would give it countenance. Within the year the knitted frock Has come into Its vogue, and now It Is the most chic thing worn by up-todate people, and represents one of the largest departments In the fashlonsble ready-to-wear shops. The original models In knitted gowns were shapeless, dowdy affairs. In the most exclusive shops are shown many engaging one-piece frocka of knit white. A model that la much liked is woven in ribs of such texture as to resemble a striped cloth. Another model, s seven-eighths length tunic, Is of wool and silk thread, the silk giving a slight but brilliant sheen that Is indescribably lovely. In the weavings marking the plaids that are BO especially modish at the moment, beautiful colors sre shown In several shades, giving the appearance of a fine camel's hair. The Jersey cloths, all-wool, silk and wool, or allsilk, are shown In a grest variety of colors, particularly the new powder blue, Lanvln green, henna, hsvana, canna; also in bright scarlet vivid green, yellow; In the soft shsdes, maize, beige, champagne,' and, as the season advances. In shades of gray. San Francisco.--Trapped by rising tides, two Oakland youths dung fer their lives to a wave-swept rock eft Land's End all afternoon and until noon of the next day. The thrilling tale of their struggle through the night was revealed when Francis Drake, nineteen, and Adreen Ferray returned to their east bay homes while Oakland and San Francisco police were searching for them. Drenched and exhausted they told their parents of the night-long vigil on the rocks. The Months, both of whom are employed In an east bay automobile factory, went fishing. .It was 3 o'clock when they clambored onto a rock that tutted out from the shore line near Land's End. Found Themselves Trapped, , Four hours they fished. Then aa dusk began falling, they said, they turned to make their way home. But in the meantime the tide had come In and they found themselves trapped on their percarious foothold - tad das*. Wi Waves Broke Over Their Foothold. water all around them. Neither of the youths 1* a good swimmer, so after trying in vain to attract the attention of persons ashore they chose clinging^ to the rock rather than the attempt to swim to land. Throughout the night they struggled to keep awake, while waves broke over their foothold. They fought fatigue lest they fall aaleep and slip into the, water. Dawn found the tide still too high to attempt making land. It was not until just before noon that the ebb tide had sufficiently lowered the surface to make it possible for them to wade to safety. In the meantime parents of both youths bad telephoned the police. Search was started, which was halted only by-the arrival of the youtha at their homes shortly after 1 o'clock. Colors This Season Are Beautiful Bngnglrvg styles In other materials are Bhown from prominent designers, French and American. Still, the preference turns heavily to white. Smart models of many types are developed In polret twill, Rellly kasha, charmeen, homespun, whipcord and flannel for heavier woolens, and In roshanara, flat crepe, pongee, alpaca for lighter wear. Linens and cottons are . still used, but not for sports dress. Plaiting Is all the rage, in the onepiece frocks as well as In the separate skirts. Most of the plaited dresses are those In the crepes and pongees and tub silks; but the skirts to be worn with sweaters, skirts and coats are laid in small side or box plaits, straight kilts, of saucy appearance. Departing from all-white and white combined with color, the colors presented In this season's sports clothes are exceptionally beautiful. There Is little hint of utility; there Is only the decorative In the delightful yellows, for example, that run the scale from deep orange to pale corn, and In the greens, apple, pea. Jade, reseda, and new-old shades of bronze sad olive that will be seen later in the street suits for town. Blue, In the shades of powder, and the darker military blue are most distinguish ed and are seen In some particularly engaging models from Paris A one-piece frock of pastel blue has hands In graduated widths bordering the skirt, knee-high, and is used In the same manner on a cape of the pastel three-quarter length. Purlslun designers who specialise In sports things, as they are translated according to French standards, have a feeling for the cape model rather than for the more tailored English Idea. Most of their outing clothes this season Illustrate the three-piece costume dress, which is literally a two-piece affair plus a cape matching In material and design.
