DEMOCRATIC WOMEN WANT
On the threshold of "womanhood
comes the crisis which means
health or invalidism. Three gen-
erations ago an old southern doc-
tor wrote a prescription for the
ills of women, which has become
known to fame as ‘ ‘ Stella Vitae;J ’
has been the right thing at the
right time for thousands of
young girls, down to the present
day. Try it for YOUR daugh-
ter. Money refunded if FIRST

MR. W. P. NELSON, a merchant of
Hixon, Tenn., says: That the daughter
of one of his neighbors, Mr. James
Roberts, was in such a condition with
female trouble that an operation was
advised, and the young lady was sent to
Chattanooga for its performance. She
dreaded the operation, and STELLA
VITAE having been recommended,
decided to try that first. She has taken
six bottles and is happily on the road
to recovery. She is able to do her usual
work and is in better health than for
years before, but continues to use it.
She writes: “STELLA VITAE will do
all you claim.’’ Her father says "She
began to improve at once, after taking
STELLA VITAE.”

M’ADOO REFUSAL NOT UN-
EXPECTED IN INNER CIRCLES
Washington, D. C., June 18.—Re-
fusal by William Gi McAdoo to allow
his name to be presented to the .Dem-
ocratic National Convention appar-
ently did not come as a very great
surprise in inner Administration cir-
cles here. To other Democratic lead-
ers in Washington, however, it seern-
. ed to be wholly unexpected, and to his
friends it was a keen disappoint-
ment.
Some party leaders said Mr. Mc-
Adoo’s self-elimination left the situ-
ation more or less “in flux.” They had
regarded the former Secretary of the
Treasury as one of the foremost can-
didates for the nomination. While
Mr. McAdoo has insisted from the
first that he was not a candidate and
that the delegates should go to San
Francisco uninstructed it is known
that a number were favorable to his
candidacy.
In fact, the McAdoo boom had
reached such proportions 'that the
Senate Committee which investigated
pre-convention campaign expendi-
tures, made repeated efforts to locate
a National organization behind it.
B. M. Baruch of New York and oth-
ers were questioned, but they insisted
that there was no organization and
that no funds on behalf of Mr. Mc-
Adoo has been spent.
Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City,
Mo., had planned to place Mr. Mc-
Adoo s name , before the convention.
He was invited to do so at a meeting
of McAdoo supporters here last
month, which was attended by Jou-
ett Shouse, assistant Secretary of
the Treasury; D. C. Roper, former
Commissioner of Internal Revenue;
Frank R. Wilson, former director of
Liberty Loan publicity, and others.
Coincident with Mr. McAdoo’s
statement that he would not permit
his name to go before the convention,
Mr. Shouse issued a statement say-
ing that an “active fight” would be
waged for the nomination of Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia, who has
been looked upon as the certain choice
to' head the resolutions committee at
San Francisco.
Mr. Shouse declared that the move-
ment for the nomination of Senator
Glass “has already reached formid-
able proportions,” and that “a num-
ber of the most loyal McAdoo men”
had declared that they “would exert
themselves to the limit on behalf of
Senator Glass.”
Mr. Glass was one of the Adminis-
tration leaders in the House of Rep-
resentatives until he resigned to be-
come Secretary of the Treasury.
While in the House he fathered the
Federal reserve and farm loan acts,
and. has since his appointment to the
Senate he has supported the Presi-
dent in the treaty fight.
It was Senator Glass who framed
the Virginia Democratic platform
with the League of Nations recently
publicly approved and which is ex-
pected to form the basis for the
league plank at San Francisco.
The Virginia delegation has been
instructed to vote for Senator Glass
at San Francisco.
The elimination of McAdoo narrows
the field to eleven contestants so far
as is now known. Attorney General
Palmer will enter the balloting with
the Pennsylvania delegation instruct-
ed for him and probably with at least
a part of the delegation from Georgia
for him. Delegates from Ohio and
Kentucky have been instructed for
Governor James M. Cox of Ohio,
while those from New Jersey have
been instructed for Governor Ed-
wards of New Jersey. Other instruct-
ed delegations are Nebraska for Sen-
ator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of that
State; Iowa for Secretary Meredith
of the Agricultural Department; Ok-
lahoma for Senator Robert L. Owen
of Oklahoma; South Dakota for Jas.
W, Gerard, former ambassador to
Germany; North Carolina for Senator
F. M. Simmons and Oregon for Mc-
Adoo.
J. W. Davis of West Virginia,'am-
bassador to Great Britain, and Homer
S. Cummings of Connecticut, chair-
man of the Democratic National Com-
mittee, whose names are expected to
be presented to the convention, have
no delegates instructed for them, and
with the exception of the States nam-
ed the delegations are uninstructed.

PRODUCTION COST
OF WHEAT GIVEN.
Washington, June 20.—The 1919
American wheat crop was produced
at an average cost to the grower of
$2.15 a bushel, the department of ag-
riculture announced tonight in mak-
ing public its recent cost of produc-
tion survey. The survey covered four-
teen representative districts of the
wheat belt, nine in the winter wheat
areas of Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri, and five in the spring wheat re-
gions of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota.
The survey further revealed, the
department said, that to permit a
profit of 80 percent of the wheat pro-
duced on the farms covered by the
survey, the price would have to be
about $2.60.
Cost of producing winter wheat was
much lower than for spring wheat,
the costs being given as $1.87 and
$2.65 respectively.
“Dollar wheat,” once the aspiration
of wheat growers, would have paid
the cost of production on only two of
the 481 farms included in the survey.
PRIEST HALTS WEDDING.
New Orleans, June 17.—A wedding
ceremony in St. Louis Cathedral was
I postponed several hours toSay be-
1 cause the officiating priest, Father
Antoine, of the Order of Oblate Fath-
ers of Mary Immaculate, declared the
bride was immodestly attired and vio-
lated the recent order of Archbishop
Shaw, of the Diocese of New Orleans,
relative to wearing apparel.
The priest declared the bride ap-
peared to him “so shocking that he
had the sexton put out the lights, so
that she might retire and properly
clothe herself.” Although he declined
to divulge the name of the bride, he
declared she “wanted to-fly in society
style at her wedding much to her dis-
grace.”
Everything had been prepared for
the wedding and the bridegroom was
in the edifice. The altars were ablaze
with candles and the electric lights in
every part of he ancient Cathedral
were lighted. The bride parted up
the main aisle, but had not gone far
before the priest viewed the gown,
ordered the lights put out and sent
her home to assume other garments.
The marriage ceremony was then per-
formed.
WOOL PRICES SLUMP.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 18.—Phila-
delphia textile mills today began pre-
paration of new price lists under
which woolen cloth will be sold at re-
ductions ranging as high as 50 cents
a yard.
This resulted from the big break
in raw wool markets, and means, it is
believed by cloth manufacturers, that
next fall’s clothing for both men and
women will be cheaper.
With a large percentage of weav-
ing and spinning mills shut down or
operating on part time on account of
heavy cancellation of orders by buy-
ers and large quantities of finished
cloth which have been held by specu-
lators coming into the market at less
than cost prices, the market is in a
state of stagnation, and heavy losses
have been sustained.
Price reductions which are being
made by manufacturers range from 5
cents to 50 cents a yard on cloth, de-
pending upon its quality, and will
reach the consumer this fall.
PROS WILL SEEK RIGID
DRY ENFORCEMENT PLANK
Washington, June 16.—Prohibition
advocates will ask the Democratic
National Convention at San Francis-
co to adopt a plank declaring for rigid
enforcement of the eighteenth amend-
ment and the enforcement act and
will “present a solid front against
Governor Cox of Ohio,” Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League, declared today
in a formal statement.
“The resolutions committee at Chi
cago,” said Mr. Wheeler, “adopted a
law enforcement plank and lost it be-
tween the committee room and the
convention. Mr. Bryan will act as a
bodyguard for it if it is adopted by
the resolutions committee at San
Francisco.”
Mr. Wheeler said Governor Cox was
‘t‘he last hope of the wets in their
program for nullification,” and that
his “record makes him an impossibili-
ty if national prohibition” is to be ef-
fectively sustained and enforced.
Billie Read left Monday morning
for his home in Cameron, after hav-
ing been here on the sad mission of
the burial of his mother, Mrs. W. F.
Read. Other relatives of the deceas-
ed, Mrs. Gooch of Hamilton, Mr. and
Mrs. Whitaker of Brownwood, and
Mrs. Lee of Waco, "have all returned
to their respective homes.

FLOYD COUNTY HAS *
TOO MANY WORKERS.
Floydada, Texas, June 22.—Con-
tinued rains are holding^ back the har-
vest in many sections of Floyd coun-
ty and some damage is feared. Every
effort is being made to place all men
coming from other sections of the
State to work in the harvest, but
present indications are that too many
men are coming for the jobs to hold
out. Laborers are urged to write to
friends or agencies here before com-
ing to this county to engage in har-
vest work.

STRIKE CAUSED BY REFUSAL
OF MAN TO QUIT JOB ENDED.
Pittsburg, Kan., June 21.—After a
sjx months’ strike, unique in the an-
nals of the Kapsas mining • industry,
the B. R. and H. mine is again in op-
eration.
At an inquiry held here by the
Kansas Industrial Relations Court, an
order was issued for the mine to re-
sume operations. The operators and
miners reached an agreement where-
by E. H. Guffey, a watchman who re-
mained loyal to his employers and the
State during the State operation of
mines last winter was removed from
the pay roll with an understanding
that he is to seek reinstatement in the
miners’ union through the National
executive body of the United Mine
Workers of America.

job during the winter strike, he was
suspended for 99 years by his union.
The company refused to discharge
him and the miners refused to work
unless it did.
He was forced to leave his boarding
house; grocers refused to sell him
food because of activities of a union
committee. Guffey then took up
quarters in the mine office and pro-
visions were sent to him by the com-
pany.

Legislature last January passed a

made the women a brief speech, tell-
ing them he didn’t want to use his
position as a club to compel action
by any State authority. Some of the
women heckled him and left his office
muttering, dark things against him
and promising to make life unpleas-
'ant for him until he complies with
their request.

ed a statement after the conference

SUFFRAGISTS ON HARDING’S
TRAIL.
Washington, D. C., June 22.—A
bevy of militant suffragists repre-
senting 15 States swept down upon
Senator Harding today and demanded
that he use his influence as the Re-
publican presidential nominee to as-
sure the enfranchisement of women
in time to permit her to vote at the
November elections.
Specifically they wanted the Sena-
tor to call upon the Republican Gov-
ernors of Connecticut and Vermont to
summon special sessions of the Legis-
lature to ratify the suffrage amend-
ment. They told him the Legislatures
of these two States have been polled
and are favorable to the amendment.
If special sessions are called at once,
the suffrage amendment can be made
effective in time for the November [they organize a
election.
Mr. Harding declined to act.
DEAD MAN’S CLUB LATEST
IN VENTURES OF OHIOAN
Akron, Ohio, June 21.—A dead
man’s club, composed exclusively of
ex-service men now living but listed
officially as killed in action overseas,
is the latest kind of fraternal organi-
zation suggested by William Wirt of
this city.
Wirt is having a hard time trying
to convince the government that he
isn’t dead and buried in France. His
name now is being chiselled from the
memorial bronze tablet recently
erected here in a memorial building.
Wirt estimates there are nearly
2,000 ex-service men-now living whom
fhe War Department records show
were killed and buried overseas. He
also declared that court records show
about 900 men declared officially dead
who are still alive. He suggested
’’Dead Man’s Club”
land adopt the slogan “We may be
He!dead, but we won’t lie down.”
