W.J.BRYAN WANTS WILSON TO QUIT Would Have Marshall Appoint Harding Secretary of State and Then - Quit. SENATOR WOULD BE IN DEC. 1 Nebraskan Then Says President-Elect Could. Speed Up Actual Legisla tion Under .the Republi can Regime. Chicago, Nov. 5. William J. Bryan, who arrived In Chicago on a speaking tour, Issued a statement culling on President Wilson to resign at 'once, yielding tho presidency to Vlco Presi dent Marshall with the understanding that Senator Harding bo made secre tary of state. Then, Mr. Bryan said, Marshall should resign December 1, leaving the presidency to Harding, who would suc ceed as secretary of state. , Harding then could carry through n definite plun for pence, Bryan tfeclnred. Would Speed Legislation. The Commoner's suggestion for Wilson's resignation was not made In n spirit of anger or recrimination, but for the purpose of speeding up ns rap idly as possible nctunl legislation un der the Republican regime It would prevent the long delay between now and Murch 4. "Tho Democratic party needs re organization by Democrats." continued Mr, Bryan. "This landslide was tho result not of Democratic but of Wilson policies." Bryan Expected Vote Result The conversation was then turned, upon the significance of tho events which Hiave Just occurred politically. Mr. Bryan's aplomb seemed to have been In no way shattered. Mr. Bryan expected It He came 2,000 miles from his winter home In' Florida to cast his Vote In Nebraska for Gov. Cox. But it seemed to bo merely n gesture Mr. Bryan casting his vote for Gov. Cox did not feel the Area of righteousness roaring In his Heart. "I made no speeches In tho cam paign," he snld. "For tho first time in forty years I mado no political speeches during a presidential cam paign. I could not explain why then. My reasons would bo construed as arguments ngnlnst the candidate. I will tell now. My speeches would, not. have fitted into tho plan of campaign. The San Francisco convention, I thought, Ignored the most Important Issues. I knew after tho convention, nnd wrote of It, that the Democrats would not carry a Blngle northern state. The party has become a party of evaders and not crusnders. I could not enter into a Joint debate with Gov. Cox while ostensibly campaigning for hlfn. I wns .silent."- Sees New Democracy. A pensive memory this, and Mr. Bryan sighed. But tho verbal fast Is now broken and Mr. Bryan, his voice freshened by Its rest, launched Into sentences that stirred with emotion nnd power. Tho Democratic party would rise from tho ashes of defeat. The great vote for Harding had been' not so much of a confidence In tho "reactionary Republicans" as n voto of protest ngalnst a. Wllsonlzed De mocracy that had "trufllcked with .Wall street, flirted with the horror of propaganda and sent delegates to San Francisco whose catechism began, 'The chief object of man Is to glorify the President nnd obey his command ments.' " Mr. Bryan then Bpent a half hour criticising In detail what he termed Gov. Cox's campaign Inconsistencies his nppenl for tho dry vote in tho west, the wet voto In the east! his stand against reaction In the west; his traffic with Wall street In the east; his di'llbcrato support of the President's stubborn accusations against such men as Taft and Hoover. And then, after he had talked for an hour touching upon us many topics as could bo hurled nt him by the in terviewer, Mr, Bryan concluded with n heroic forecast: The Democrats wero not down, The innate progresslvlsa of the Democratic party would as semble around its standards onco more the hosts of reform nnd wisdom. And Mr. Bryan would uot be surprised to see tho country go as overwhelm ingly Democratic in 1024 as It went Republican In,1020. With a final smllo Mr. Brynn spread tho poultlco Over the bruised body of his purty. "After thirty years .In politics I have seen both defeats and victories pass away," ho said. "And there wiib n wlso ancient over whoso door It wns written: 'This, too, shall pass uway.' " And Mr. Brynn, eying tho latest newspaper headlines, recounting the recent landslide, set hl uncon querable lips firmly atid added, "and It Bhall IS HELD FOR PAUL'S DEATH New York Salesman Charged With Murder of Bank Employee Whose Body Was Found In Grave, Camden, N, J., Nov.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR RAISING CALVES SHOULD BE CONVENIENT. jOs 1 ' .1 ! 1 : Steps In Making Eye Loop A. CompletedHalter A, Eye Loop; B, Loop Splice; C, Crown Knot; D, Nose Piece. Steps In Making Crown Knot C. A completed rope halter, and steps showing mothod of making. A marlln spike Is used to separate the strands. The eye splice should be Just large enough to allow the rope to pass freely through It The loop splice should be far enough from the Aye splice to form the nose "piece. A more detailed description will be given Upon application. Tho equipment necessary to feed nnd enro for n calf to ho raised for a herd bull or for a foundation breeding cow need not bo expensive, but It should bo convenient. The barn or shed In which the' nnlmal Is kept should be cool In summer' and dry In winter. An especially warm barn Is not necessnry, but cold winds and rain must bo kept out. The fences around tho pasture whoro the calf grazes should bo kept In good repair. Do not tench tho calf to Jump or ho a rogue by allowing It to run nt largo or to go through or over poor fences. It Is better to havo a gate for It to walk through than bars to Jump over. Tho calf mny graze with other cattlo on pasture, but should be fed grain separately. A bull calf should be sep arated from tho heifers at about three or four months of age. Ho should ho kept with other bull calves or older cattle for company except at feeding time. Tho cnlf should then have a separate stall or pen. Tho stall or pen should bo so ,nrronged that tho calf may seo other calves or cattlo, to keep It from fretting when nlono. - Tho stall should be kept clean and dry at all times. If the ground In or nhout the stntl Is low and wet, broken stope should bo used to rnlso It to keep It dry. Small stones or gravel or preferably clay should bo put on top nnd flrmly packed down. Use plenty of straw, leaves, shavings or other lit ter for bedding, so thnt tho calf mny be Induced' to Ho down n largo part of the time. A cnlf will not thrive and do well if made to sleep on a damp, foul-smelling bed. If tho lot whero tho cnlf takes Its exercise In winter is wet and muddy, tho water should he drained off through ditches or oth erwise) disposed of, Convenient Feed Manger. Tho feed manger for the liny and silage should he convenient and largo enough to .hold r.ll the feed given, so that It will not be crowded out and wasted. Tho manger should have u tight bottom to hold tho smnll par ities of hoy, especially tho leaves, as they aro the most valuable purt. Tho MEASURES FOR LIVE STOCK IMPROVEMENT Bulletin Issued for Benefit of Those Raising Animals. Farmers and Stockmen', Told In Plain Language of Basic Facta About Heredity and Incorrect Ideas Are Discussed. Written In Blmple language for tho person who raises farm nnlmnls, a now Farmers' Bulletin, Just issued, by the United States Department of Agricul ture, tells tho basic facts about hered ity and how live stock Improvement may be brought ubout. Under tho title, "Essentials of Anlmnl Breeding," this publication places before furmers nnd stockmen Information which hereto fore has been available chlelly In books, many of them being of tech nical character. ' Topics explained and Illustrated by tho new bulletin Includo: Beginnings of, life, evolution, Mendel's law, deter mination of sex, Inbreeding, cross breeding, outcrossing, purebreedlng, pedigrees, grading up, nnd maternal Impressions. Certain populnrTlut In correct Ideas about heredity are dis cussed. . Several scries of pictures show how good blood "breeds on." nnd likewise how Inferior parents stamp undeslr nblo characteristics on following gen erations. The discussions deal with all tho principal classes of domestic ani mals, and a summary of basic prlncl ules concludes U'Q bulletin, which con Steps In Making Loop Splice, B. food box for grain needs to hnvo a tight bottom nnd be large enough to prevent loss, while the cnlf is tinting. If somo of thc-,fecd'ls lost the cost of gains In weight will bo "greatly In creased. The nppcarance of the calf usually rellectsany negligence on the part of the owner. If tlie calf Is watered from a trough or a stream, tho plnco should be kept clean. Do not allow mud to uccumu Into about tho approach to It. Tho ovoritow water from tho trough should bo drained off to one sldo. Broken stono lnny also bo used about the trough or tho entrance to tho stream to keep It free from mud nnd nttrac-. live, so that the calf will want to drink an .nbundatlco of water. 4fls eases of the feet may nlso be contract ed about dlrly watering places, If the. calf Ib watered from a well or a spring by a bucket, provldo 0110 espe cially for that purpose. Do not use tho bucket, fdr any other purposo or any other nnlmn). A bin or J)ox.xfor storing grain should bo provided. If should hold tho grrtln supply for several weeks as mixed nnd weighed up, Keep the box In a dry, convenient place. It should hnvo a hinged lid that will close tight to keep out chickens, rats and other anlmnls, Arrange In. a convenient plucfr n smnll box In which to keep salt at all times. A fork will bo needed, to keep- tho stall clean and to handle hny or other roughages. A largo basket without a handle will bo convenient to uso In weighing nnd feeding the sllnge. Other Needed Equipment Other Items of equipment needed In cnrlng for tho calf are currycomb, brush, coarse-tooth comb, burlap blan ket, hnlter and clippers or shears for trimming hnlr, A very strong, cheap, and serviceable halter, one which ev ery boy should bo nble to fnake, Is shown In tho accompanying Illustra tions.
