A 2l>-minute downpour of rain late yesterday at Kenosha. Wid.. of 1.57 inches was more moisture than fell in that section during the three months of last summer.

Dr Jacob Shurman Would John D Rockefeller. Sr. be here to enjoy his ninety-sixth birthday July 8 if his wealth had not given him security, ease and freedom from worry in his later years’ His longevity is attributed to the constant medical care, supervised diet and sheltered life which has been his for many years.

its given a full-time parole investigator from the state police department. The commission is composed of three members, not more than two ! being of the same political party. J. T. Arbuckle, Rushville, state i prison trustee; Delos Dean. Rens- | selaer, state reformatory trustee, i and John Klimger, Newcastle, ■ secretary to Gov. Paul V. McNutt, j are present members. Arbuckle and Dean receive an annual salary of $1,600. o LIBERALS TO CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONR whether it would be more feasible to hold the third party movement in leash until 1940. . Pre-conference huddles have brought forth the names of Goy. Floyd R. Olson of Minnesota, the Farm-Laborite, and Senator Robert LaFollette, the Wisconsin Progressive, as presidential possibilities. Both men were reported, however. to he artfully dodging any actual participation in the conclave. Olson pleaded previous speaking engagements amt InFollette begged off because of pressure of work in Washington. Leaders of the npw party movement are Thomas R. Amite young I (progressive congressman from‘ Elkhorn. Wis.; Ernest Lundeen. Farm-Labor representative from Minnesota; Haword Y. Williams,; secretary of the national farm ' labor federation; Congressman! Vito Marcantonio of New York, and Congressman Byron Scott of California. Donald L. Head, of the Cooper-, ating League for Independent Political Action, said upon Sinclair's California epic program would have representation, identities of individuals in the conclave cannot be revealed “for obvious reasons.” Head said. The rally is certain to be marked by sharp dissension as to presidential possibilities in 1936. Those favoring delay until 1940 argue that President Roosevelt is almost certain of reelection next year and that several leaders needed for a third party, including Olson and LalFbllette, will not hazard their chances of obtaining further federal relief money for their states. They also point out that a third party ticket thrown into the field at this time might serve to crystalize Democratic opposition in several states where anti-new deal feeling is particularly strong. In an effort to maintain the gecrecy about the conclave its dates have been changed three times. 0 ARRANGEMENTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE house will sing.
