FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
v Facts About the New Laredo Soy
Bean
W. D. A., Macon, Ga., writes:
I wish information about the
> Laredo soy beans. At what time
should they be. planted; how
, much does it take to plant an
acre; how wide should the rows
be, and how far apart in the
row?
The soy bean promises to become
a crop of great value to Georgia. It
particularly valuable for use as
a hay. it is also serviceable as a
grazing crop for hogs. It is a good
soil-builder. The grain yield ob
tained with certain varieties, such
as the Laredo and O-too-tan, is suf
ficient to justify its growth for this
purpose alone.
It is quite true that the Laredo
4 made the record described in the ar
ticle you rCad. We have grown it
on the college farm for the past six
years and regard *t as tne most
promising variety for general cul
tivation in Georgia. Other strains
.which have done well include the
O-Too-Tan, Mammoth Yellow, and
Southern Prolific. As the one gen
eral purpose bean, however, we as
sign first place to the Laredo and
the second place probably to the
O-Too-Tan. Both of these varieties
have fine stems instead, of the
coarse central stem characteristic of
most other varieties. The seed is
small and black in color. The
plants attain a good size. The La
redo matures much earlier than the
Too-Tan, and, on that account, we
Recommend that it be selected for
B>Janting in North Georgia. The
**eed of the Laredo is smaller than
that of the O-Too-Tan. The fine,
slender stems of this variety are
adapted to making hayi of an excel
lent quality. I
Soy heans should bo planted In
rows when grown for seed. For hay
production, they may be sown broad
j cast on rich lands and planted in
rows on the poorer soils. When
seeded in rows, space the plants
from four to six inches apart. A
drill that is suited to the seeding of
sorghum can be used for this pur
pose. In three foot rows, it will
1 take from a gallon to a half bushel
of seed per acre. If sown broad
cast, about twice the amount of seed
which has been suggested above will
be required.
On thin lands, fertilizers should
be used. We recommer/d an appli
cation of 300 pounds of acid phos
phate and 100 pounds of kainit. On
sandy soils, replace the kainit with}
muriate of potash. i
Soy beans can be grown with corn;
on the richer soils; though they do
not stand shading as well as cow
peas. They may also be grown aft
er oats or wheat. Cultivate soy
beans exactly as you would cowpeas.
The implements used for corn or
cotton culture are suited to th e pro
duction of soy beans. The planting
should be done as soon as the ground
is warm enough to insure the ger
mination of the seed. Where soy
beans are cut for hay, harvesting
should begin about the time the pods
are filled. The O-Too-Tan should be
cut earlier than this. Where the
seed is to be saved for grain, one
of two methods may be pursued.
(1.) The plants may be threshed
where they stand in the field
through the use of a special ma
chine. (2.) They may be cut with
a corn harvester or ordinary grain
binder, bound into sheaves, cured,
in shocks just like grain, and
threshed later. The second method
is the most practicable one to fol
low under Georgia, conditions. Cut
> the Laredo bean when the pods are
beginning to turn yellow and the
leaves tend to drop off. A pea and
bean thrasher may be used for clean
ing the seed.
Cultivating Sunflowers in
Georgia
W. O. R., Atlanta, Ga., writes:
I wish information on the rais
ing of sunflower seed. What is
the best variety and how should
it be cultivated and fertilized?
, Probably the Mammoth Russian is
the best variety of sunflowers to
plant for grain production in Geor
gia. This crop should be planted
and cultivated just like corn. Pre
pare the land and fertilize it. as you
would for this crop. Seed it at
r about the same time and give it ex
actly the same type of cultivation.
Where you grow sunflowers for
grain, do not plant too thickly. It is
a large, coarse-growing type of plant.
Therefore, it requires plenty of
quickly available food and moisture.
Frequent, shallow cultivation to hold
weeds in check and insure a dust
mulch constitutes a desirable prac
tice. When the sunflowers are ma
ture, cut off the seed-heads and put
them under any sort of a shelter
that will keep them dry. When
■ cured, they will thresh easily. For
use in the average poultry lot, how
ever, this would not be necessary.
Simply throw the heads therein and,
She chickens gather the grain
hemselves. It will give them
lonal and essential exercise,
lowers constitute a. very fine
feed for poultry. They are also a
valuable feed for egg product*! - ?.
The seed is rich in oil and proteirt.
"the whole plant, as you doubtless
know, is sometimes used for silafce
purposes. The yield of grain per
acre varies from forty to sixty bush
-Is. It is a. crop which should be
grown to some extent on every farm
in Georgia where chickens are main
‘ tained.

edy for round worm. My horse
is wormy, and I have tried dif
ferent remedies, but none seem
to help him much. I will there
fore appreciate your telling me
what to do for him.
The round worm or nematode con
stitutes the most important group
of parasitic worms attacking the
horse. This parasite is character
ized by the large development it
makes, since jit often attains the size
of a. lead pencil. It is not supposed
to do any particular damage where
only a moderate number are pres
ent. When they multiply considera
bly, the worms will often be found
in the* droppings. It is thought that
I these worms produce colicky pains
; and a depraved appetitie, and are
' also responsible for diarrhea and
j general unthriftiness.
The treatment is as follows; Feed
the horse lightly for a period of at
least 48 hours. Then give turpen
tine in doses ranging from a dram
f©r small animals to one or two
ounces for large ones. The turpen
tine should, of course, be diluted;
otherwise, it might blister the mouth
or the throat. The medicine, of
course, should be administered as a
drench, and it is important to see
that the head of the animal is held
high and the drench properly admin
istered. Continue the use of this
medicine for three days, and then
give a quick purgative to expel the
worms from the intestines. The
best thing for this purpose is a
pound of epsom salts administered
also as a drench.
Preparing a Standard Whitewash
Formula
W. C., East Ellijay, Ga., i
writes: please give me the
formula for government white
wash, and oblige.
The so-called “government white
wash” formula put out years ago
through the agency of federal offi
cials is a good standard mixture to
use. We have found it very satis
factory in our own experience. It
is prepared as follows:
Slake a half bushel of unslaked
lime with boiling water, keeping it
covered during the process. Strain
It and add a peck of salt, dissolved
in warm water, three pounds of
ground rice put in boiling water and
boiled to a thin paste; half a pound
of powdered Spanish whiting, and
a pound of clear glue, dissolved in
warm water; mix these well togeth
er, and let the mixture stand for
several days. Keep the wash thus 1
prepared in a kettle or portable fur
nace, and when used.put it on as hot
as possible with either painters’ or
whitewash brushes.
Treating Mange in Dogs
W. R., Roswell, Ga., writes: I
have several young dogs, and their
hair is coming off. I believe the
disease is called the mange, and
would be glad if you could give me
a remedy for it.
Mange is a parasitic skin disease
which often attacks domestic ani
mals. Man has also sometimes been
a victim of this trouble. It is caused
by a mite which burrows into the
skin. I This makes, it exceedingly
difficult to deal with satisfactorily.
There is, of course, intense itching
which causes the animal to scratch
and abrade the affected part. Ani
mals affected with this trouble lose
their hair and present a disagreeable
appearance. In fighting this pest,
isolate the affected animal. Clip the
hair from the affected parts of the
body. Then apply a green soap.
This procedure will result in prac
tically all of the scabs and scruf be
ing removed. Then apply a mixture
made up as follows:
1 ounce of creolin,
1 ounce of oil of tar.
1 ounce of flowers of sulfur.
8 ounces of lard or vaseline.
Mix thoroughly and rub into the
diseased skin. This procedure should
he continued for three or four days
and then withhold for a week and
re-apply. It is of the utmost im
portance that the quarters he kept
clean. Disinfect them with white
wash or paint.
Preparation and Management of
Compost Heaps
R. C. S.. Waleska. Ga., writes:
Would you advise compost heaps
under any circumstances? How
is the best way to handle stable
and cow lot manure for the gar
, den?
There are many cases in which a
compost heap might prove to be a
desirable investment. On every farm,
or about every home, there is a
good deal of material accumulating
which is of vegetable origin. If it
can be broken down, it will furnish
a riche earth, or a partly decayed
vegetable material that is very bene
ficial to the land. It is a common
practice around most homes for us
to burn up material of this charac
ter, such as leaves, for instance
Leaves naturally contain a good
deal of plant food. The nitrogen in
them is volatilized by burning and
hence is lost. The practice is waste
ful. in any event, and so we should
stop it. There is room on practically
every place for the development of
a compost heap. A shallow place
in the earth may be cooped out and
simply puddled, or a concrete floor
may be laid therein. Some sort of a
cheap, rough shelter should be built
over it. As the compost is put in,
it is important to see that it is kept
thoroughly wet so as to hasten de
cay. Compacting and forking over
and re-piling will hasten the break
ing down of this material. If yard
manures can be added to the genera;
list of material gathered up about
the farm, the decay of the whole
mass will probably be accelerated
Composted manure, when properly
refined, makes an excellent fertil
izer to use in gardens and under
farm crops. Fifteen hundred pounds
of well composted manure mixed
with 300 pounds of acid phosphate
and 200 pounds of kainit provide a
ton of material which will have about
the same analysis as a ton of an
8-2-2 fertilizer.

Dear Aunt, Julia and Cousins: Will you
please admit a Mississippi boy into your
happy band of boys and girls just for a
moment. I don't see very many letters from
our old state. T have been a silent reader
for some time, without, courage to write, but
couldn't resist any longer. I find so much
pleasure in reading all of the good letters
from those pretty girls whom I do not know
that I feel inclined to introduce myself to
them through the Letter Box. I will say
that at present I’m staying on a farm, and
like farming fine, but also like other work.
I go to school at Darbun Consolidated High
school. We have seven teachers, and the
children are transported in trucks. Say,
boys, don't have too much to say about the
girls’ boltbed hair, paint and powder, for
you know we love them any way they come.
I guess I had netter describe myself. 1
have black hair and eyes. I am a lad of
nineteen summers. I will not stay long, as
this is my first attempt to write. If this
doesn't find its way to the wastebasket, I
will probably do better next time. Now.
cousins, if you want to receive lots of mail
every day. just write to me. I will clo«e
by wishing you all lots of joy and happiness.
A new cousin,
(MR.) HOLLIS BRACEY.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I guess it
is time for me to enter your jolly circle ,
again. First, I want to thank Aunt Julia
for printing my other letter, and I want to
thank all of the cousins who wrote me.
Every letter was appreciated very much. I
did not answer quite all of them, far there
were so many of them it was impossible
And all who did' not get a personal answer
please take this as one. The sun is shining
bright and warm in Florida now and the
flowers are in full bloom, and Florida is a
pretty place. Say, you Florida boys and
girls, wake up and write more. The other
states are so far ahead of ns. Get busy
and let's catch up. If anyone has the book,
“The Girl of the Liberlost,” by Gene Strat
ton-Porter, and will lend it to me, write
me. I have read part of the story and
would like very much to finish it. I will
return the favor in any way I can. I guess
all of you boys and girls will be glad when
school starts. I surely will. Well, if this
is printed I’ll come again when the leaves
turn brown. If any of you wish to write
to a jolly brown-eyed country girl, write
me. I'll answer all I can. All who can
send photos. I

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Here I
come again to thank Aunt Julia for printing
my other letter. Cousins, I will take for
my subject, “Homes of Animals.” Nearly
every animal has a home except, the wild
horses. They wander in bands wherever
there is grass and water; in winter they
dig the snow away with their feet and in
this way reach the grass. The squirrel has
a snug hottie in a hollow tree. In this lie
stores a supply of nuts for the winter. You
have all seen the cozy nest of the mouse.
The young mice need the protection of the
soft nest so cunningly hidden away and
they could not live without it. The trap
door spider lives in a small tube in the
ground. The tube is about half an inch in di
ameter and six Indies long and has a trap
door at the upper end. Ants build homes
underground. They seem to be busy all the
time. They plaie the dirt from the under
ground passage neatly ‘around the door.

open the door for a little Georgia girl. I
have |ust finished reading the cousins' let
ters and thought them so interesting that
1 would write. Hope I wilt be admitted. 1
wrote to the Letter Box about four years
ago and my letter was printed, and I thank
Aunt Julia very much. I see most of you
cousins take a subject, but J will not this
time. I see some of the girls and boys
describe their ideal wife or husband. I
think it very nice to do so. Will not de
scribe mine this time, only will say I am
fond of dark hair and brown eyes. What
do you cousins do for pastime? For myself,
I help with the housework. I will leave
my age for you to guess. It is between
15 and 22, but am still in the teens. I
am the only girl at home, so you see I
get lonely at times. Auntie, dear, please
pardon me for staying so long. Now, boys

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: I will
try to visit you all this cool Sunday after
noon. I have thought of writing lots of
times, but was afraid you wouldn't have
roon for so many. I want to thank you,
Aunt Julia, for printing my letter I wrote
over a year ago. and surely hope you will
print my letter this time, as I haven't seen
a letter from the dear old slate of Kentucky
.n so long. Wonder what is tlie matter witn
the Kentucky girls and boys? Busy with
their work. I guess. We have 340 little
chickens and some hens setting. We are
getting six dozen eggs a day. The farmers
around here will be awful late with tneir
work as it lias been raining so mucn nere or
late. Well, it will soon be sneep sneanug
time. How many of the girls help aliear
«neep? I do for one. We will nave tweuiy
rotir to shear. We have thirty-live neauti
ful lams. I guess lots of the cousins are
rishing these days, my brother went tisning
tlie other evening and caught twenty-three
fish. One day not long ago we cleaned our a
corn cri and killed fifty-three rats and let
several get away. What we have in our
.arden looks real pretty, the peas arc bloom
ing. This spring I sold $30.33 worth of
turnip greens and spring onions. I think
there are lots of ways women can make pin
money instead of depending on tlie man to
make ail the living. But it seems to me
that most men care more for the kind of
girls and women that sft and rocs ttiau tney
do for the kind that work. I surely do en
joy reading the cousins' letters. I have a
fine correspondence which happened by the
cousins’ page. I am Intending to go to Ca
diz tomorrow, wish lots of the cousins could
be there. I know there will be a large
crowd there. Well, strawberry time will
soon be here. We have a small paten, nope
we will have plenty of berries. What is any
netter than strawberry ice cream?
But my. it is most too cool today for ice
cream. Well, this is Mother's day. every
one flint has a mother ought to be thankful
for I think there ts no friend like a mother.
I think most mothers seem to care more
for their children than the fathers do. Well.
Aunt Julia. I want to thank you for my short
visit and 1 will go before I break any rules.
Good-by to all for a long time. then, if I
am welcomed I will come again. Your old

; The Quiet, Modest, Shrinking Girl Is
Every Man's Ideal—But He
Takes the Independent, Hear
tily, Stylish One Out to
Dinner
A YOUNG woman asks this ques
j ticn:
; “What kind of girls do men,
j as a rule, like best —the modern or
I the old-fashioned kind?”
j You cannot give a definite answer
to that question because there are
many monos many minds ebout
women and every man has a differ
ent mind about
the sort of wom
an he prefers.
Some men adore
ha by dolls, while
others crave god
desses, divinely
fair and most
divinely tall.
Some men are in
trigued by beau
tiful morons who
ask them fool
j questions, while
others dote on
highbrows who
discourse upon
i the Einstein the-

X ■
Eh
ory. The Turks fill their harems with
fat ladies, while only a. living skele
ton may hope to hold the affections
of ah American husband. And so it
goes. Each man to his own taste,
and a wedding ring for every woman
who wants one, be she tall or short,
fair or dark, thin or stout, plain or
pretty, witty or dull, a perfect thirty
six or an awful forty-eight.
.Broadly speaking, however, I
should say that the favorite type of
girl is the 1925 sports model, stream
line effect, artistically painted, a self
starter, a good hill climber and ca
pable of making ninety miles an hour
on the level.
Os course, I know that thousands
of men will say that a girl of this
class is too fast for them, and that
she is upholstered too much and that
she is more for pleasure than for
daily service and that her upkeep
is too much for them, anyway; and
that what they want is a good, prac
tical, old-fashioned girl that used to
he in vogue about the time of the
Spanish war—the sort of a girl that
mother was, with no foolishness nor
flummery about her, and not so kal
somined up that you can’t see what
you are getting when you pick her
out.
The quiet, modest, hrinking, do
mestic girl-rdarling little Alice-sit-by
the-fire—that is every man’s ideal
woman, just as the classics are his |
Ideal literature and grand opera is
his ideal music. But he leaves them
all on the shelf, while he turns to
the sporting page and comic strip in
the newspapers when he has a few
minutes to read, and then steps out
with the flossiest girl he knows to lis
ten to jazz.
Somehow our taste in people I
changes to meet the new fashions
just as it does in clothes, and the I
characteristics that are admirable in |
one generation are as unattractive I
loved ones died upon this battlefield, that
hundreds of homes were forever after lonelv I
for that father, brother, son or friend who
had died a soldier's death, who, perhaps, ’it
his dying remarks could not be heard for the
cannon s roat, and no wsleeps in an unknown
grave. There are two churches at this
place, botli Baptist, it is deeply touching i
to gaze uiton the large and beautiful ceme
tery, tlie home of so many of the dead. New
Hope is a beloved place because of the good
people hereabout and because of the good I
people who come and go, mix and mingle at |
this place. On Memorial day at New Hole,
which is on the Saturday before the second
Sunday in May annually, people gather from
far and near to decorate tlie graves of de-,
parted kindred and friends and to commem
orate in honor of the dead and praise tlie
Supreme Ruler of tlie Universe in song and
seek His benediction in prayer. I. like most
of the cousins, live in the rural district. I
like to go to school and like music and sing

We can do all kinds of stunts in the water.
Guess you cousins are wondering what we

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
if you all will permit me to join you all
again for a while after an absence of over
a year? Just wonder what you all ar e do
ing this beautiful Sunday afternoon. It has
been raining today and I couldn’t go any
where. so I ain writing you something about
our state of Florida, located on the south
eastern corner of the U. S.. is a long penin
sula in tlie shape of ray stocking, we call
this peninsula Florida, or “The Land of
Flowers, which is truly said for w e have a
,’ot of flowers here the year round. It has
a system of good highways that criss-cross
the state. One coming down from tbe Geor
gia-Florida line, going through tlie little
towns of Jennings, Jasper, White Springs
and to Lake City. It is sand and clay, said
to l>e tiie best of its kind in the union
From Lake City to Jacksonville it is con
crete a s smooth as s (jarpet and then
throughout th? soutern part of the state con
crete and. brick form the latger part of tlie
roads. We, tlie farmers, can grow anything
on the farm that can be grown in the United
States except cotton, although we are still
trying. Our woods have plenty of trees for
turpentine, crossties and lumber. Our coasts
furnish fish for many thousands of people,
as well as employment. Tbe only thing we
feel ashamed of our state is that is acting
as an open saloon for tlie rest of the south
ern states as well as some of your northern
states. Theliquor is smuggled into the state
from the Bahama islands, Nassou and other '
places and tiien it is hauled out in touring
cars to northern cities. Also the most ig
norant class of people make what is called
■'niono'hine” something 1 imagine nothing
but a human hog would drink. I have never '
seen any of it and do not want to. Although
we Floridians hope, with tbe best school
system in the union, will gradually work
from tinder this saloon practice. Wc are
getting the boys and girls of todav to look
on the matter in a difefrent light. The two,

Aunt Julia and Cousins: I don't think i

Already trn inches of snow has fallen, and '
it is snowing harder than ever. Yesterday i
green grass was growing, at least it had ■
started, snd now there is nearly a foot of '
snow, and prospects of more. We did not I
have much snow this winter cn which to I
ski and slide. We had some skating. (I •
can just hear someone say. “What are ’
these?’’) I will tell those who write. The :
winter snow had nearly all gone off when ;
this storm came. I suppose a snowstorm ■
like this down there would be tomefiiing I

Medford. Medford » pen '-•i n <-f about '
235 people. My address ’ I)f ,t Medford. ,
Medford is in three sections. Before I i
> as the garments they wore. We can
no more get up any enthusiasm for
the manners and personalities of our
parents and grandparents than we
can for the bustles or hoop skirts,
• and Prince Albert coats, and peg
top trousers that they wore. They
were all right. Probably better than
! ours, but old-fashioned. Not for us!
I It used to be considered elegant
. 'and distinguished, for instance, for a
. ■ girl to be fragile and delicate. She
■ cultivated semi-ln validism. She
. : minced at her food and ate no more
• | than a bird. She would have been
: horrified at the thought of walking a
’ (mile, and she swooned at the sight of
a drop of blood.
e Can Sou imagine the men of today
bothering with that type of girl? Not
y much. She would be left alone dn
t her sofa. The only girl who has
, ! any beaux in these days is the
. j husky, hearty, healthy girl, who can
- i play golf all day and dance all night,
5 and still be going strong, and who
1 I is just about as liable to faint at the
a sight of a wound as a butcher is,
i In other days the helpless, cling
-3 ing-vine type was the admired of
J men. The woman who sat down and
■ [ wrung her hands was the one whom
men rushed to support. It was con-
- sidered a proof of feminine tender
i ness for a female to be able to turn
: on the hydrant and flood the place
, with tears.
i Men don’t hasten to wipe away the
, pearly drops that flow from the eyes
of the human geyser now. They
■ take to their heels and get out of
the wet, and they have an actual
contempt for the girl who doesn’t
> know hew to do things, and who
; isn’t sport enough to'take life as it
, comes w'ithout blubbering.
Ignorance was held to be a charm
■ of peculiar fascination in the old
fashioned girl, A woman was sup-
, posed to be particularly appealing if
she didn’t know who was president,
. and never read a newspaper, and
didn’t have enough sense to handle
money, or buy a railroad ticket, or
take care of herself. Men are bored
to death now with a woman who
• can t keep up her end of the conver
i sation. and they consider the girl a
burden who has to be taken care of
. as if she were a sick baby.
You see there are millions of girls
in business nowadays, anJ thej' have
, changed man's ideal of what is de
sirable in women. The business girl
is strong and healthy. She is snap
py, and alert, and wide awake. She
knows how to take care of herself
j financially and socially. She is in
dependent and capable, and she
makes a lackadaisical old-fashioned
woman look like a last year's shirt
waist.
Men criticize her just as they criti
cize her short skirts, and they tell
her how much better her mother
was, just as they tell her how much
I more modest her mother’s long, trail
ing, microbe-catching petticoats
were; but it is the up-to-the-minute
girl, wearing the latest hint from
Paris- that they take out to dinner,
i Look and see for yourself.

am a poor writer, but will do my best. If
anyone writes »o me please toll me tlie name

HODVER BACKS OFF
RY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright. 1924.) .
WASHINGTON, June s.—Calvin
Coolidge’s advice on the subject of
the vice presidency is being much
sought by the managers of the Re
publican party, but to date they have
drawn no definite commitment as to
individuals, beyond the general state
ment that several names mentioned
to him would be satisfactory.
Mr. Coolidge, having been a vice
president himself, cannot recom
mend the life too heartily, for there
is nothing more uninteresting than
being a vice president, unless it is
being a vice presidential candidate.
An active man, especially one with
an administrational talent, does not
relinquish the idea of sitting speech
less in the senate chamber listening
to the monotonous debates and par
liamentary wrangles. That’s why
friends of Herbert Hoovei’ can think
of nothing more undesirable for an
active personality like him than to
be tied down to a presiding officer’s
duties, while there are large projects
like water power, radio development,
and the general program of the de
partment of commerce to be worked
out in the few years.
Hoover Shuns Job
Mr. Coolidge has offered no word
of dissent to the talk of the Hoover
candidacy. The secretary himself is
opposed to it, but some of the friends
of the president are intrigued by the
slogan “Coolidge and Hoover” and
they think it would be a vote-getter.
But supposing Mr. Coolidge wins,
Mr. Hoover’s service as a vote-get
ter would end and he would be buried
in the vice presidency for four years.
Supposing Mr. Coolidge didn’t win,
then Mr. Hoover’s political fortunes
so far as availability in 1928 is con
cerned —and he is still a relatively
young man —would go by the board.
Mr. Hoover favored the league of
nations, hag a splendid war record
and a good administrative record
since the war, and is popular with
the women voters. But his oppor
tunities for service, he feels, would be
greater if left to manage a govern
ment department, which is what
would happen if Mr. Coolidge were
elected.
Next to Mr. Hoover there are oth
er candidates who meet the presi
dential favor. They are among oth
ers, Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin,
and former Governor Frank O. Low
den, of Illinois. The latter doesn’t
want to make the race but may be
drafted. There are certain reasons
why no man should decline a vice
presidential nomination, and one of
them could probably be given by
Hiram Johnson, who declined to be
Warren Harding’s running-mate in
1920, and the other is the added cir
cumstance that this year, especially,
the election may be thrown into con
gress for settlement, and in the
event of a deadlock in the house of
representatives, the choice of a presi-,
dent might devolve upon the United
States senate with the two leading
vice presidential nominees as the
ones from whom the next incumbent
of the White House might be se
lected. Mr. Coolidge can hardly rec
ommend that as a reason >f<r accept
ance, however, as he experts to win
and the argument isn't making as
much headway with the hesitant
ones as it sho ild.
President’s Wish to Count
Senator Lenroot was to have been
selected in 1920 when plans sudden
ly went awry on the mention of Cal
vin Coolidge’s name in the last ses
sion of the convention. Mr. Len
root is of the progressive school, and
hailing from Wiscohsin might be ex
pected to add some strength to the
ticket, especially with Mr. La Fol
lette entering the presidential race
as an independent. Mr. Lenroot was
one of the “mild reservationist’’group
on the League of Nations issue, and
is thoroughly acceptable to the reg
ular organization.
The president’s wishes will be re
spected, of course, but the chances
are that the Republican convention
will not begin its session with a
hard and fast understanding on the
vice presidency, waiting somewhat
for the development of sentiment of
the delegates. For already- there Is
being heard criticism that the Re
publican convention Is a “ratifica
tion meeting,” and that a few men
are dictating its actions rather than
the Republican party as a. whole.

PUT BACK IN POWER
BY POPULISTS’VOTE
LONDON, June 4.—(By the As
sociated Press. —The most strenuous
of parliamentary crises in Germany
since the formation of the I'epublio
has come to a close with a decision
by the German Peoples’ Party to
rejoin the clericals and Democrats
in a revival of the Marx-Stresemann
government which recently resigned.
President Ebert last night re-ap
pointed the Marx cabinet, which is
to re-appear officially before the
reichstag today.
Numerous attempts were made to
coax the nationalists into a non
socialistic republican cabinet but in
view of their demands, including
sponsorship of Admiral Von Tirpitz
for the chancellorship, it was found
impossible to bring about an align
ment of the parties.
Georgia Man Slugged !
And Robbed on Beach
Boulevard Near Norfolk
NORFOLK, Va., June 5 Patil
Mouchette, 31. of Washington, Ga.,
secretary to E. T. Liddell, evange
list, is near death in a hospital here
after having been knocked unscon
scious and robbed of $152 by an un
identified man on the fashionable
Ocean View boulevard.
One suspect is under arrest. He
describes himself as James Daniel ;
Candler, 28, of Norfolk, and is charg* ;
ed with assault with intent to kill :
and highway robbery.
Mr. Mouchette an incoherent
account of the assault before lapsing
into unconsciousness. He managed
to identify himself by muttering the j
name of the evangelist. His skull is •
fractured.
According to an eyewitness,
Mouchette stepped out from an auto
mobile and was about to examine &
tire when the driver of the machine
struck him over the head with &
blunt instrument, rifled his pockets
and sped away in the machine.
The eyewitness, George Ryan,
jumped aboard the assailant’s ma
chine, but was knocked off with a
blow in face. He obtained a good
look at the man, however, and it was
largely upon his description that Can
dler was arrested. |
