COX LEADS IN POLL OF NEW YORK WOMEN; LEAGUE IS FAVORED

NEW YORK. Aug. 30. The Evening Telegram's presidential poll In the metropolitan district, taken exclusively among women, indicates a close race between Cox and Harding for the voters of the nation. The poll shows the opinion of 158 representative women. They voted as follows: Cox, 72; Harding. 59; Debs, seven, and undecided, 20. No eftortwas made to obtain a poll that would be unusual because of tho number of voters, but an effort was made to obtain a representative vote Inasmuch as experience has shown that polls are important as Indicating political trends only to the degree that they are representative of the voting elements of the country. A surprising feature of the poll among women was the apparent lack of interest which most of them show in tho prohibition issue. Each woman was asked to state her presidentia1 preference and her reasons. Yet out of 158 women who voted only five indicated that hey were influenced by the prohibition issue. Of these five, one 13 strongly for prohibition, while four are against it. The one for it expects to vote against Governor Cox, while the other four will vote for him. Interested in League. On the League of Nations issue the opinion is more decided. Forty-sU voters expressed the intention of voting for the candidate of their choice because of his stand either for or against the league. Of this number, 29 are for the league and 17 against it. Practically all those who favor the league are going to vote for Governor Cox, regardless of former political associations. Those who are opposed to the league are with Senator Harding regardless of former political associations. In this respect the women iftke the same atitude as the men. The high cost of living is an Important issue with a considerable body of women. Many of those in this poll who are undecided in their choice say they intend to vote for the man who they think will be able to lower tha cost of living. Dissatisfaction with the futile efforts of tho old parties to accomplish this end is responsible largely for three Democrats, two independents and one Republican to vote for Debs In the coming election This is an issue in which housewives are greatly interested. .. Business Women for G. O. P. In general, the women who are engaged in business or whose husbands are conected with business interests in executive capacities are inclined to vote for Harding. They express the opinion that a change in administration would be good for the business of the country. A large body of independent voters declare they are undecided at this time as to how they will vote because they don't know enough about the i3 sues. They want the campaign to de velop before committing themselves. Most of them, however, express the in tention of voting.

This was followed by a fusillade of sticks and stones Rev. Kopfmann sank back on the cushion. Young women pushed through to the machine and, reaching through the window, smacked the face of the poor preacher. Two husky young men opened the doors and reached for the parson. "Don't," he gasped thickly. "1 can't swim. I'll drown." At this juncture Sheriff Arthur Hughes appeared.

He Denounced Scanty Bathing Suits; Nearly Drowned by Bathers PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 30. The intervention of a sheriff with a cocked revolver saved the Rev. Frederick Kopfmann from a merciless drubbing at the hands of 500 infuriat

He had been pelted with overripe tomatoes, stones and other missiles and smacked on the mouth by the very '"hussies" he has sworn to drive out of the state. Rev. Kopfmann in recent sermons has condemned the scanty attire of bathers in Washington Crossing. After his morning sermon the parson shook hands with his parishioners, said he did not-know whether or not he'd be back for an evening service and jumped into a waiting automobile. In an instant there were 400 or more men and girls in scant and dripping bathing costumes clamoring about the car. They swarmed upon the running board with cries of:

ROMANCE IN MARQUIS WHEAT The curiosties of literature shrinks beside the marvels of agriculture. Some hundred of millions of bushels of Marquis wheat, now grown annually on the continent of North America, are all descended from a few grains isolated in 1903. The story of Marquis wheat is ,as interesting as the plot of many a romantic novel. . Back in 1841 a Scotchman who had been working for a farmer; named David Fife, near Petersborough, Ontario, returned to his native country under a promise to send; to his employer a Scottish bonnet, or' GlenGarry. As soon as he arrived in Glasglow, he bought the bonnet and taking a stroll along the Broojnview came upon a boat unloading a, cargo of fine wheat. He filled the car with a sample of the wheat and sent it off to his friend Fife in Canada. Fife sowed the seed in the' spring garden but only three ears, or heads came to maturity. Being interested in his friend's gift, Fife saved the wheat, and in 1843, had a pint of seed, which multiplied as the years went by, and by 1870 Red Fife, as this new wheat was caled after its color and its owner, became a favorite in Ontario. It was also known as Scottish Fife and as Glasgow wheat though it was not grown in Scotland, and the experts, when they examined it, pronounced it a Galician variety. Investigation proved that the vessel in the Glasgow docks in 1841 had come with a cargo of

wneat trom Danzig, tne cniet ex-i

port outlet for Galician grain. Red Fife was the staple Canadian

wheat in the seventies, ' but it had one defect it was slow to ripen, and the early frosts blackened many a ; first-class field of it. In 18S a botanist, named Saunders . crossed it with more than 50 other yarities, but failed to solve the problem. The flour thus produced' was too yellow for the market. In 1903, however his son Charles E. Saunders chanced to hit on an ear of Red Fife which he crossed with Hard Calcutta, and in the following year he succeded In growing 12 plants. The yield was less than a pound of seed, but it ripened early, and the grains were plump. He named it Marquis, after the then governor general of Canada, the marquis of Lome. TBy the autumn of 1906 he had two-thirds of a bushel. In 1907 all the seed -that could be spared 23 pounds was sent to the experimental station at Indian Head Saskatchewan. It lived up., to expectations, ,and two years later 400 samples were distributed to Canadian farmers. Their reports were enthusiastic. The early wheat, so long sought had ben, found. Since then its fame has spread widely, and Marquis wheat is now grown not only in Canada, but in Minnesota and the Dakotas, where rust has .hitherto played havoc and where early, harvest prevents losses '.

MAD ANTHONY GOOD SOLDIER BUT HE DIDN'T KNQW FRENCH (Kansas City Star) '. General Anthony Wayne was a -soldier of parts; his reputation as a

fighter was extremely good. 'But less!

than that is to be said for his French. It was poor indeed. Washington used to drink a toast to Bon Repos as a sort of stirrup cup when his parties broke up. Bon Repos being the French cant for. "Good Night." General Wayne tossed off his glass many a time to the toast and never knew the real

t meaning of it, in fact he somehow got :

it into his head that Bon Repos was a ! celebrated fighter of the past whom Washington venerated. Once having; got together quite a number of bottles of wine, "Mad Anthony Wayne" gave! a party to a group of fellow officers.

i As soon as the dinner was over and

the cloth removed, the wine was; brought and the hero of Stony Point

cried out: "Come, my brave comrades,

fill up your glasses. Here's to old ! Bon Repos forever." The guests were I astonished. They drained their glasses ;

and then picked up their hats, and prepared to depart. Wayne demanded the reason and then for the first time discovered the meaning of the French phrase. "Well, a fig for Bon Repos, then, he exclaimed, "Take your seats again. You shall not stir until we've started every drop of our drink."

now. it was no easy task to raise the

purchase price of 2 million pounds, I

can assure you. The ammunition represents the small arms stuff and shells no longer required by the army. It is in France where we are going to break it down. "A staff of 300 experts on explosives and 6,000 men and women are to tackle the job, which will take about two years to acccmplisb. The ammunition ranges from rifle cartridges to 15-inch shells. Its chief value lies in the T. N. T. (tri-nitro toluol) and the ammonial in it. Extracted, these, rich in nitrates, will be transformed into very valuable manure. The metal, much of it steel, is to be remetalled. There were a number of bidders for possession of all the ammunition dumps left behind in France by the British army, and Mr. Pickett had to undergo a very searching examination into his history before he was allowed to buy. The authorities were at great pains to satisfy themselves that he is not a bolshevist. As a matter of fact, he is an engineer, born in Ilfracomme, Devonshire, 34 years ago. Before this deal, he had bought 10 million rounds of French and Belgian ammunition, built factories to break it down, and did so without a single mishap. "And," he said, " you have to be Very careful about ammunition that may have deteriorated. I spent 25,000 (normally $125,000) on each of my factories in safety precautions."

Termites, Insect Enemy j Of Plants in Indiana; Prevention is Urged INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 30. A new menace to the sweet corn crop of the

state has been called to the attention of Frank N. Wallace, entomologist for the state conservation department Termites, insects which usually attack wood or books, are devastating corn in many sections of the state, according to reports reaching Mr. Wallace. In one case the insects destroyed a large patch of sweet corn belonging to H. L. Trueblood, an 86-year-old Indianapolis resident , Termites are the insects that frequently cause so much damage to woodwork in houses, especially parts near the ground, and several Indiananopils persons reported their presence this spring. Termites also destroy fence posts.

telegraph poles, railway ties, piled lumber, and in fact anything made of wood. They usually enter whatever, they attack from beneath the. ground, j making small entrance holes, and then gnaw out tunnels and galleries ; through it till it is reduced to a hoi-1 low shell. i The Insects are small, soft-bodied, i wingless creatures of a pale yellow-; ish brown color. They run about ac-1 tively when disturbed, but they are ! blind and very adverse to exposing themselves to light Treatment for termites varies in ' each particular case. If the infestation covers a small area the galleries may be opened by cutting into them, and the insects killed by pouring in kerosene or carbon bisulphide. Treat-! ment with "blue oil" is said to be effective against them. There is no known method to control them in thej corn, a new zone of attack for them, for it would be impossible to open' the stalks and destroy the nests, the

most effective means of eradication,

midst of contending forces, If possible between them.' It must bring to bear every ounce of influence which it possesses to bring these contending groups together, and to induce them to work out permanent and effective means of cooperation." ' He pointed ont that there was need to devise a method by which employers and workers can get together and keep together, eo as to put heart and power into production and give Just returns to both groups. "If no form of labor organization is permitted and If not only strikes but labor organi

sation itself is fought to a finish, there appears no way out of our troubles' but rather a deepening of them. shall have an autocratic management of industry on the one side and eitaf! a kind of serfdom on the other or a militant bitter, and class-conscious organization of labor growing rI?y more revolutionary. That is just the danger of the present hour." , 7 Every traveling salesman dream of a time when he will be wealthy enough to own a hotel that 'win b9 built riirht.

Calls Upon Church to Intervene in Strikes NEW YORK, Aug. 30 The church and the pulpit were called upon to intervene in strikes and try to compose the differences between capital and labor in a "Labor Sunday Message" issued today by the Rev. Worth M. Tippy, executive secretary of the Social Service Commission of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Ae declared that the church must stand for the right of labor to organize and take collective action under proper restraints and safeguards for public welfare and that the church should not be prevented from taking this step either by reactionary employers or by "evils in the labor movement." The Rev. Mr. Tippy pointed out that

the nation had suffered a tremendous ! economic loss because of the strikes ! last year and that deeper perils lie in i threatened destruction of the spirit j of cooperation and good will between j capital and labor. I "The church watches the deepening ! conflict with profound concern," he ; continued. "It cannot stand aloof. At whatever risk of becoming involved J in the controversy it must go into the J

In California, the modern Garden of Eden, it seems that there is almost as much objection to stealing the fruit as there was in the original Garden of Eden in the days of Adam and Eve. The picture was taken along one of the highways in the California fruit belt So much fruit has been stolen by tourists that growers have put up hun(dreds of signs like the above.
