Washington. July 16. Franklin
I). Roosevelt, assistant secretary ofj
the navy and democratic vice presi-i
dGiitiai nominee, arrived in Wash-
ington today from his home in New
York. He went direct to his office
at the navy department and began
clearing his desk of the mass of let
ters and details that had accumulat
ed during his absence at the San
Francisco convention.
Navy department employes plan
ned an impromptu celebration this
afternoon at which they hoped Mr.
Roosevelt would make an address.
Mr. Roosevelt will attend the con-
ferencc Sunday between President
Wilson and Governor 'Cox at the
White house and will return to Day
ton with the governor Sunday night
for the meeting of the democratic
national committee on Monday and
Tuesday.
JIake Plans Next Week
The vice presidential candidate
said plans would be made at this
meetinz for the speaking tours of
the democratic candidates.
"Will Governor Cox and yourself
divide the country between your
selves. onC going east and one going
we?t?'fc Mr. Roosevelt was asked.
"That has not been decided, but
should think it might be a good
guess," he replied.
Mr. Roosevelt said he would start
a speaking tour immediately after
the notification ceremony. The date
for the event has not been set, but
Mr. Roosevelt believes it probably
will take place at his home at Hyde
Park, N. Y., either August 7 or 9.

Do you know that harvest is just about
here and then will follow the threshing. My,
such busy times ! Really, now, doesn't it look
like it would be a wise thing to have some
storage room available when the time comes
that, peradventure, you cannot ship your grain
just when you desire? We have lumber for
that very purpose and its priced reasonable.
