DAVIS CHOSEN BY MACHINE-HOWELL (Continned from Cage One.) day took a new and novel method of explaining to voters the futility of ob taining farm relief through the me dium of a democratic president and congress. The senator displayed a map showing locations of votes for the McNary Haugen bill In congress and the votes against It. The map Indicated the west and middle west was almost unanimously In favor of this measure. “Now who was against the farm ers?" Senator Howell asked. “It was the east and the south. If you get either the east or south wdth you you can get sufficient votes to put over farm relief. You can get the repub lican east but you can’t get the demo cratic south. Wily? Because the east Is on the artificial stilts of the tariff. They need us to keep the tar iff. We can tell them that unless they are for us we’ll pull down the tariff. The south is hopeless. Sev enty-five per cent of the agriculturists in the south are denied the right of franchise. The ruling classes of the south are exploiting the farmers. They are satisfied wdth purchasing our produce at cheap rates. There Isn’t anj? way we can hurt them or win them to our side. “I tell you, gentlemen, since I have been in Washington one fact has been plainly evident to me. The south runs the democratic party but we can enforce our demands on the east and a republican congress. The Howell MpMullen party contin ued to draw large crowds today at Burwell, Sargent. Comstock, Taylor | and Loup City. Tom Doran, farmer member of the legislature and one of the oldest, most influential and re spected men In Garfield county, was in charge of the Burwell meeting. At Taylor Judge C. L. Copp introduced the speakers. When the party reach ed Sargent It was met by an excep tionally large delegation of men and women Including State Representa tive Bill Lundy, Harry Knapp, H. A. Sherman, Dr. C. H. Fensternascher, Clarence Metcalf, Roy Hicks, C. JI. Kiker, A. F. Phillips, Rev. M. M. Long, Mrs. Douglas Finley, Mrs. Nell Werber, Mrs. John Nelson, Mrs. H. A. Sherman and Mrs. E. J. Penney A part of the Sargent delegation took the party to Comstock t.hlch was not on the schedule. CitlSns of Comstock Insisted on the senator and the gubernatorial candidate visiting there and the request was gladly granted. Those In charge of the Ord meeting last night were Clarence Davis, James Milford, Pete Goodmanson, Bert Hard enbrook, P. M. Clements and George S. Round.

Patterson, traveling solicitor for the Scolular Blshop Grain company of Kansas Grain company of Kansas City, is making a survey of crop conditions here. He drove from Superior, Neb., about 90 miles west of here, and re ports that little wheat has been planted along the route because of the dry crondltlon of the soil. He advises farmers to plant their wheat now In expectation of rain within the next few weeks. He says corn is not sufficiently matured at present to be husked and cribbed. He looks for a 50 per cent crop in this section of the state. Columbus, Oct. , 2.—Planting of winter wheat is becoming general through the wheat growing section of the Platte and Loup river valleys. Weather conditions have resulted in unusually dry soil. Harvard, Oct. 2.—The affect of the recent light frosts about here has been varying, inquiry reveals. Corn as a whole was not damaged, except in a vicinity northwest of here but alfalfa and similar crops were re ported "tinged” and blacked, .a sev eral Instances, by frost. Callaway, Oct. 2.—The first real killing frost of tho season visited this section Tuesday night. Some damage has been done to the replant ed corn and part of it will be soft. All vegetation was killed. GAMES TOGO ON, SAYS LANDIS (Continued from I’ase One.) stunned and confined to his bed by the shock. McGraw was overwhelmed and Irate. Charles A. Sloneham, Stoneham, president of the Giants, was shocked and grieved. O'Connell's first news of Judge Landis’ decision to ban him from baseball came in the morning papers. As it was not official, he reported as usual at the Polo grounds for prac tice to wait for his mailed notice of expulsion. Fellow members of the team greeted him heartily and sympathetically. | There were handclasps and slaps on the back. O'Connell walked around blindly and finally sat on the steps leading to the field. He had not changed into his uniform. His eyes were tear-filled. "I've been a fool,” he bemoaped. But I’ve been made the goat. "Everybody on the team knew bout It. At least I was given to un derstand they did. "Just a Messenger.'* "I told Judge Landis exactly what happened as I would tell anyone else. Dolan came to me and In answer to hie questions, I admitted I knew Sand well from the coast. "He told me the whole team were going to take up a collection and asked me If X would offer Sand f500 not to bear down in the game. I said I would. "In the clubhouse later, Young, Frisch and Kelly came to me one at a time. They told mo It was all right and Young told me to go ahead. "I strolled up to Band before the game. I asked him and he said 'nothing doing.' "I was a foil. Just a messenger. I was ordered and encouraged to do it .by the other* on the team.” Young, Frl*ch and Kelly all today denied O'Connell's story relntlng to them and refused to comment further on the scandal. Judge Landis had aald, regarding their connection: "If such men as Frisch, Kelly and Young were guilty, you might as well tear down the temple. Their state ments to me were clear and straight forward. I have completely ex onerated them.” i Burgess Bedtime Stories V-—-* B.v THORNTON \V. BURGESS.

Outside, In front of the open bam doors, stood Farmer Brown's boy. Between them, in the middle of the barn floor, stood a barrel. "Well, son," said Farmer Brown, and his eyes twinkled, "it seems to me that Possum must have changed his coat after he was caught. I don't know what you think about It, but It looks to me as if we have a barrel "So you don’t think yon want to her, him for a pet?” said Fanner Brown. of trouble. And it Is right here In the barn. It seems to mo that, ns you brought It here, you should be tho one to get rid of it. What are you going to do about it?” Farmer Brown’s Boy saw the twin kle In his father s eyes. He began to laugh. He laughed and laughed and laughed. At the same time he somewhat ruefully rubbed the back of his head, which ho had bumped when he tripped over a box and fell In his hurry to get away from that barrel. "I guess the Joke Is on me,” he admitted. ”1 never had a greater surprise In my life than when I open ed that trap and Jimmy Skunk slid out of It Into the barrel Instead of I nc’ Billy Possum. I guess the thing to do is to leave him alone for a while. He can't climb out of the bar rel, and so long as he Isn’t disturbed he won't use that little scent gun ot his. Jimmy and I have always been pretty good friends, and I think 1 know him pretty well. "He's probably Is feeling rather out of sorts now over the way he's been treated, and I can't say that I blame him much. But he'll soon get over it. Then I’ll slip up and put some thing over that barrel and we can take It outside the barn and let him go." "So you (lon't think you want to keep him for a pet?” said Farmer j Brown, his eyes twinkling merrily. “So." sa.d Farmer Brown's Boy. “So. I think I'd rather let him go.” "Why not kill him and so get him out of the way altogether?” Farmer Brown asked. •’Kill Jimmy Skunk?' 'exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy indignantly. "I guess not! Didn't I tell you that Jimmy and I are friends? Jimmy minds his own business, and if no one bothers him he will bother no one. Jimmy does a lot of good on the farm. I know, because I have watched him and because I've seen where he hae been at work. I ve seen dozens and dozens of places where he has dug up white grubs, and anyone who will help g<*t rid of those iyn certainly is worth having around?' Kill Jimmy Skunk! I guess not!” ‘■All right, son,” replied Farmer Brown. ’’I was Just trying to tease you. I don't want Jimmy Skunk killed. I'tr\ glad you feel the way you do. But I don't want Jimmy In my barn, either, so I'll leave It to you to get him out the best way you can. But. whatever you do. don't do any thing to tempt Jimmy to use that little scent gun of his. Be careful, son; be careful." “I will,” replied Farmer Brown's Boy. “I’ll get him out of here Just as soon as I can. and I promise you that there will be no trouble.” The next story: “A Perfect Gen tleman.” (Copyright. 1924.) Kansas Will Pay Bonus to Russell A. Hiatt Heirs Falls City, Oct. 2.—Nearly seven months after his death from war wounds in Hayward, Cal., the state of Kansas has awarded a posthumous bonus of $044 to Russell A. Hiatt, formerly of Falls City. The bonus will be paid to his estate. The application of Hiatt, and later of his heirs, was at first rejected by the Kansas board on the ground that ho was not a resident of Kansas at the time he enlisted in Missouri. The estate contended that Iliatt was a resident of Morrill, Kan., at the time and this contention was upheld In a decision Just handed down by the dis trict court of Brown county, Kansas.

"T " ' " — --- '■ League Adops Anti-War Pact • Arbitration Protocol Unani mously Adopted by As sembly at Geneva. By International New* Service. Geneva, Oct. 2.—The league of na tions assembly today unanimously adopted the arbitration and disarma ment protocol, including the Japanese amendment. The ratification was a foregone conclusion, as all the big powers rep resented here had Indicated their ap proval. The document now will go before the respective governments. The protocol had been introduced In the assembly only yesterday. De bate lasted only half a day. France led in the support of the document. Former Premier Brland called it' "the most formidable ob stacle against war ever devised." Adoption of the arbitration and dis armament protocol is regarded as the first step towards calling an inter national disarmament conference. This will probably be done early next year. The protocol pledges the league to prevent war or to stop war If it is started summarily. Br Associated Frets. Geneva. Oct. 2.—Belgium. Czecho-Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and Uruguay today were re-elected non permanent members of the council of the league of nations. When the result of the election was announced the entire Chinese delega tion left the auditorium, explaining later they did so on orders from Pekin to walk out of the council if China were not elected to a non-permazietit seat. Asked whether this meant resignation from the league of na tions the Chinese delegates replied they were not able to answer.
