He declined to elaborate or. the other reduction in expenses. Final estimates will not be made until September 15, Lord said, and department beads may argue their cases before the President until then ASKED TO WATCH FOR CORN BORER Farmers Os Adams County Warned To Report All Suspicious Cases In spite of federal quarantines and other combative measures being used |>y county and state authorities, the European Corn Borer, probably "King Corn's" most dreaded evetny, is rapidly neerH.ig ~(be corn fields o' Adams mimiy. tutor .na't.iun gained fr°" M.

NEXT PRIMARY IN WISCONSIN Politicians Turn Attention To Bitterest Os All 38 Primaries Sept. 7 Washington, August 11. — (United Press) —Politicians here today turned their attention to the Wisconsin primary bitterest of all the 38 primaries of the year. There the republicans on Sept. 7 will determine the future status of th,, old LaFollette organization which for years has been a source of diffi culties for the national republican oiganization — difficulties which in 1924 caused th., late Senator Robert M. sr„ to bolt in an independent movement for the presl dency. Coolidge adherents are pitted against LaFollette adherents in the race between Senator Irvin Lenroot and Gov. James G. Blaine for the republican senatorial nomination, which is virtually equivalent to election. Lenroot Backed By Coolidge Lenroot, hacked by the Coolidge group. Is being vigorously fougtil Uy Senator Robert LaFollette, jr., who is campaigning the state in behalf of Blaine. Lenroot is a dry, favoring a state referendum, and Blaine a wet, who is making no effort to develop prohibition as an issue in the campaign. I.enroot fostered the resolution of American adherence to the world court for the administration and LaFollette is making this one of the important issues. He is also opposing jin *; S<’ it< • Newberry. republican. Michigan, after it had been shown Newberry spent $195,000 in his primary cam paign. If Lenroot is nominated, politicians here will interpret the result as a break in the longstanding La .Follette control of the state. If LaFollette succeeds in putting Blaine over, it will be considered that his father's organization, which he is now leading, must be reckoned with by the national organization as stronger than before*. Involved in the contest is a race on the state ticket which may mean as much to the LaFollette organization as does the senate seat. Herman L. Ekern, running on the LaFolletteBlaine ticket for governor, is being strongly opposed by Fred Zimmer man, anti-LaFollette candidate. ——o— Another Gunman Slain In Chicago’s Gang Warfare Chicago.
