PAGE FOUR IHDEPEHDWTS ISSUE! WTM USES' First Installment of Long ‘White’ List Soon to Be Issued by La- Follette Supporters WASHINGTON, July 29.—The First installment of a long white, list, instead of a black list, to guide independent voters in supporting Congressional candidates will be issued within a few days by the La Follette lorces, it was learned to day. In preparing the white list, the joint executive committee of 11 working with Senator La Follette will concentrate on eight States in which primaries are to be held early in August. They are Kentucky, August 2; Kansas, Missouri, Ok lahoma and Virginia, August 5; Tennessee, August 7; Ohio and Arkansas, August 12. The railroad brotherhoods, close ly allied with the In Follette in dependents, in today’s issue of Labor, their official organ, issued their own blacklist. The only test applied by the “Big Four” is the vote on the Howell-Barkley bill to abolish the Railroad Labor Board This blacklist contains the mimes of Republican Leader Longwortn and Democratic Leader Garrett, of the House; Senator Shields, of Tennessee; Representative Burton, of Ohio, Republican “keynoter” and Representative Cooper, of Ohio, who was elected as a labor candi date. Senator Stanley, of Kentucky, is placed on the brotherhood’s white list without reservation, while Sen ator Capper, of Kansas, is given a qualified indorsement. Labor states that Capper’s “record is far from satisfactory, but his opponents are apparently even more reactionary.” . In this connection it was recalled that Capper recently indorsed Coo lidge and Dawes. While the La Follette white list may include many of the same can didates indorsed by the brother hoods, it was emphasized at the Senator’s office that the railroad men were acting for themselves, and that the independent leaders would not be bound by the union's list. They intend to apply a broad er test to determine whether a can didate’s record is “Progressive.”, . In deciding to ifisue a white list instead of a black list the La Fol fc lette forces believed it would b< I more effective to take an affirma*' tive rather than a negative position. Inferentially, it was said, can di*, dates not on the white list might be considered blacklisted. While the independent leaders professed to be undisturbed by the indorsement of President Coolidge by S.enator Howell, Nebraska, co author of the Howell-Barkley bill, there was jubilation, at the White House over his announcement and prediction that the. Republican tick et would, carry Nebraska. There are too many nights in the week to stay away from the picture show every one of them. Teachers’ Examinations 8:30 A. M.

The doorbell of his apartment rings. A man steps swiftly inside. “I come from Leedon,” the intruder says. Leedon was the name of the fence. “I was hiding when you were dickering with him today. I over heard you talk. And I decided that half of $300,000 would just about fix me up. Don’t try lo draw a gun; I’ve got you covered through my pocket.” ♦ * * NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY I do not think I am a coward. At any rate, I laughed at him. “I suppose you expect me to be lieve that you’d shoot?” 1 jeered. “I guess you’ll believe it when I tel] you that I’m Swede Thomassen,” lhe retorted. “Leedon gave me a thousand dollars. But what’s a thou sand dollars to me? I’ve got to have enough money so that I can play lhe part of the wealthy gentleman who' has a whole suite on an ocean liner, whose privacy mustn’t be disturbed I’ve got to have enough to bribe a lot of people if I want to make my get-away.” “Extremely interesting,” said I. “But why come to me? Why not get it from your friend Leedon?” “Because as soon as Leedon saw tonight’s papers, and found out why I was hiding, he made an excuse to get out. I didn’t know he’d seen the papers or I’d never have let him go. I found the paper after he’d gone. And there’s nothing I could prove against him. And anyway, whether I could or not, he’d gone out to giv s me up. But you—you’re different.” “You can’t ’ prove anything against me,” I told him. “I said you were different. Lee don could stand a squndal. He isn’t afraid of thems He claim? to be an honest pawnbroker. But you—whpt do you tlaim to be? Can you stand police inquiry into your life?” He was more intelligent and bet ter educated than I had gathered from my newspaper reading. And he had me. Not merely literally with a gun trained upon me, but figuratively, he had me. The sub terranean activities of such a man as Leedon were so well known to the police that fear of exposure by Thomassen would not deter the pawnbroker from delivering him up. It was by sometimes aiding the po lice that Leedon obtained a certain immunity. But my case was dif ferent. I could make no terms. And I was quite sure that if I refused Thomassen, he would when captur ed, betray me out of that sheer in “CALL HER UP AND TEL HER—ANYTHING.” hatred for the world which made him the beast he was. A man, then, whom I would hav e considered it a pleasurable duty to kill, had me at his mercy. And if I chose to perform that pleasurable duty, the action meant the end of my security. For even though I prettended that I had killed Thomae sen while he was burglarizing my apartment, the police would inevit ably aske me certain questions which I would not care to answer. “A sensible man knows when he’s licked,” said Thomassen. “You look sensible.” “You expect me to hide you here while I’m waiting for Leedon to raise the money?” I demanded. The murderer shook his head.. “I’m taking no chance like that. You’d be on the level. You’d have to be. But I’m going to get out of town tonight. Leedon isn’t the only man that buys stolen goods. I want half of the jewels themselves. Get out the box.” “Do you think I keep them here?” I asked. “They’re in a safe-deposit box downtown.” “Go, get them,” he ordered. I’ll be waiting- right here.” And nows sheer wrath at his inso lence, combined with horror at his crime, made me forgetful of his threat of exposure—or if not forget ful, careless. But Thomassen was not merely intelligent; he was shrewd. The hand that was buried in his jacket pocket was withdrawr with a movement so speedy that it put to shame my own gift of leger demain. “No, you won’t,” he jeered. “Neither now nor later! You’re a sensible man, Mr. Ainsley, or what ever you call yourself, as I said a minute ago. You won’t step into r bullet when you haven’t a chance. And I know what’s going on in that brain of yours. You’re figuring that you’ll take me off my guard. But 1 know a gentleman when I see one. And I reckon you know a killer when you see one. You’re a gentle man; I’m a killer. You give me; your word of honor that you won’t fry to bump me off yourself, that you won’t slug me or drug me or anything like that. I don’t ask you to promise not to give me away to anyone. You’d have to give your self away. I just want the promise I’ve asked.” “And if I don’t give it?” I asked. “I’m a killer,” he replied. “I can only go to the chair once. You give me your word within ten seconds, or I’ll kill you.” He meant it; there was not the slightest doubt in my mind as to HEADACHE GONE TIDED NO MODE Gives Credit to Lydia E.Pinkham' s Vegetable Compound. Hopes Other Women Will Benefit by Her Experience Skowhegan, Maine.—“l was sick most of the time and could not get around to do my work without be ing all tired out so I would have to lie down. One day when I was reading the paper I saw the Lyiia E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound advertisementand saw what it did for other women, so I thought I would 9V < nH Im HF JTh ’kZWF * try it. I have taken three bottles, and cannot begin to tell you what it has already done for me. I do all my work now and keep up the whole day long without lying down. I have no more headaches nor tired feelings. I hope every woman who takes the Vegetable Compound will get as much benefit out of it as 1 have.”—Mrs. Percy W.Richardson, R.F.D. N 0.2, Skowhegan, Maine. You have just read how Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound helped Mrs. Richardson. She gave it a trial after she saw what it had done for other women. For nearly fifty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound has been doing gcod. r THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER that. It was the most moment of my life. Moreover, in ad dition to my humiliation, I suffen.fl ■ the pangs of Hope deterred. For 1 had no trade, no profession. On less than three nunarea thousand dol lars I could not hope to re-establish myself in my home town, under my proper name. And I must divide with this scoundrel! “And of course, Mr. Ainsley, it’s understood that you get the jewels the first thing in the morning, bring them here and divide.” I will say for him that, loathsome though he was, he knew blood. Hi knew that 1 would rather have di< d than break my word to him, even though that word had been obtained under duress. He sighed with huge relief as soon as 1 had spoken. “I haven’t slept for two days,” he said. “I'm going to bed. What time does your servant—l suppose you have one —get here?” “In the morning at seven,” I re plied. “Has he a telephone?” Thomassen inquiied. “She has,” I corrected him. “Call her up arid tell her—tell ler anything, but see that she doesn’t come here tomorrow.” Meekly I took his orders. Apia I ask, what could I do? Thomassen had the insolence to grin at me vnen I hung up. “Sweet and simple, isn’t it? And this is a whole lot better than get ting out of New York tonight. I’m dead for sleep.” I will say for him that he had nerve, even though it might have been born of desperation or exiaus tion. For, demanding to be sh«wn a bed, he hurled himself upon i", and was sound asleep in a moment leav ing me alone with my thoughs. » * ♦ They were not pleasant thcughts. Aside from the shattering >f my dreams of rehabilitation, thee was my vast self-contempt at beoming a confederate in the mure.-r of Thomassen’s victim. Yet I ha given my word, and the Ainsleysdo not break their word. And then, because I cold not sleep, and because I could thiik only of the presence of the beast vhom I sheltered, I began to exanne the situation, to study the Promise which I had made. I had sal that I would bring the jewels her in the morning and divide them vith myr unwelcome guest. I had aid that I would not try to kill Tbmas?en, or to strike him or drug hit or any thing like that. I had not promised thai I would not betray him to the pace. He was so confident that I wuld not dare do that thing, that h had not exacted any promise. I reddened as I thought of this. H> believed me to be so lost to decacy that I would aid a filthy murderc to cheat justice rather than riskmy own precious liberty. Well, I would surpris him. I would slip outside, telephne the po lice and then—what? homassen, captured, would describeme in de tail; he would betray m acquain tance with Leedon. Tbt worthy, professing of course thathe did not know I was a thief, wold give an even closer description of me. I would be a hunted fug”; a, instead of a gentleman who pbd his sur reptitious trade without uspicion. (Continued in Our N<t lisue) PINCHOT’S SECREARY AND WIFE SEIARATED PHILADELPHIA, uly 29.

For while he is by vocation a capitalist, Mellon is by avocation a connoisseur of art. As the former, naturally, he is an expert on those masterpieces of the engraver’s art tupied out down at the Bureau of Engraving, where Uncle Sam’s cur rency and bonds are produced. ' " He doesn’t permit his love for the higher art to diminish in the slightest his admiration for a hand somely designed banknote. But, like the senior J. P.

W. KELLER, Eminent Poultry Expert Domestic biids are subject to a considerable number of diseases, some of which spread rapidly through the flock and cause high mortality. They may also be intested by vari ous kinds of paiasites, some of whicK live on the surface of the body anl others in the _rop, stomach or in testines. These parasites are injud ous because they take a part of tie nourishment which should be need by the bird to put on flesh, to pro duce eggs, and also because by tleir movements and biting they c»use irr’tation and inflammation of the parts they attack. Contagious diseases are the most important conditions which the poultryman has to consider m an endeavoy to keep his birds healthy. Germs and parasites should bp kept out of the flock by suitable pfe, veptive measure# because disease may I s avoided touch more easily and cheaply than it can be curtd. The aim in studying a few of the diseases of poultry then, is tc leain tow to prevent the diseases as well as cure them. ?rcventing Diseass Precautionary methods will do nuch to keep birds free from dis ease, since infections gain entrance o the flock through the introduction >» new birds from infected flocks, xposure at poultry shows or contact with the fowls which are diseased.

It helps Dawes keep cool with Coolidge. Not that the smoke serves as a sedative and thus keeps the high strung Dawes pulling pleasantly with the calmly contemplative Cal, though it may have that effect, too, but the smoke from this par ticular brand of pipe is supposed to have lost all of its heat and bite before it reaches the mouth of the vice presidential pipe-puffer. The stem of the Dawes pipe, as you have noted from the pictures, is affixed at the top, not the bot tom of the bowl. But it enters merely an outer shell. There is an inner bowl contain ing the tobacco, which is screwed into the outer bowl. This inner container his its opening at the bottom. Connecting the stem in the outer shell with this opening in the inner bowl is a spiral pas sage 20 inches long, in which the smoke is cooled and purified. It is suggested that the owner i, by the many experiments and vol , ume of research work along this line i which has been conducted at the | Pratt Experimental Poultry Farm at ; Morton, Pa. The result of years of research work for prevention of dis ease is contained in a booklet “Prac tical Pointers" issued by the Pratt Poultry Institute, Philadelphia, Pa., and sent free of cost to any one re questing it. , Roup Roup is one of the most contagious and destructive diseases among fowls, and is especially prevalent in the fall and winter months. It is a contagious catarrhal disease charac terized by running at the eyes and nostrils, puffed eyes, swollen head, while later on the mouth and throat become filled with fowl smelling muedps or cheesy matter. The dis ease Is caused by its owh specia gyrip but the germ is fostered by wtpßSure to Cold and draughts, w'hile at the same time, crowding, of the birds, dirty quarters, neglect and mismanagement may also be a sac- I tor. ! The treatment of roup is difficult ’ and the best way is to use a roup ■ | (jure, or tablet such as is recom- i I nended in Practical Pointers to i : Poultry Raisers. Besides isolating , ball afflicted birds, establish a quar tjantine for all suspects < ■ ; Besides using the roup tablet dis- solved in water, wash the rqouth and nostrils of the birds infected once or twice a day with a solution of boric acid—fifteen grains to an ounce of water. For sores, make a Swab and paint them well with poultry disin fectant, remembering that during all the time of the Illness it is well to feed the fowls a good regulator in mashes to maintain their strength and resistance to the disease. It is imperative that measures ot cure go hand in hand with all means to build the birds up during this period of low vitality. For the practical poul try raiser, I can recommend no bet ter book for the treatment and diagnosis of different diseases than the one gotten out by the Pratt Ex perimental Poultry Farm, Philadel phia, Pa., which will be sent to any one free or cost on request.
