THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1924. MEMBER or TOR 1924 DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. For President, JOHN W. DAVIS, of West Virginia. For Viee-President, CHAKLBS W. BRYAN, of Nebraska. SUPPORT THE NATIONAL TICKET. When conventions end work begins. With just a breathing spell the New York democracy will . gird on its a/nmor and carry the state to victory for John W. Davis and Charles W. Bryan. Le't there \be no illusions. There is a hard fight ahead and one that is, worth waging for the freedom of the country. In every county organization work will soOii begin amonig-'men and wo- men. Enthusiasm for Davis of West Virginia .and New Yoirifc runs high and the party is proud of the standard bearers chosen. The state and local committees will soon organize for the fall campaign, A presidential campaign differs from the ordinary campaign for local elections, because it requires longer preparation. The state will furnish its best spellbinders to cavi'y the mes- sage of democracy throughout the country. New York can be proud of the record it made in the convention and proud of the candidates put into the field. Governor Smith emerged from the convention with even greater glory than was his when he went in. He stands as the Savior of party unity and under his leadership New York will fling its banners wide and proudly broadcast its message to the country. IF PEOPLE FAIL TO ELECT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA- TIVES MAKES CHOICE. There is considerable speculation as to haw big a figure Senator Rob- ert M. LaFollette will cut in the com- ing presidential election as the head c-f an Independent, Progressive party •ticket. Friends of •LaFollette believe that they can at least prevent any other candidate from receiving a majority of eleetorial votes, in which case the election is thrown into the House of Representatives. The House must vote by states. Bach vote a single unit. In the House at present 20 states are con- trolled by the Democrats, 23 by the Republicans- and five states are ties, In other .words deadlocked. There .•an be no election without the votes of a majority .-of' all states, namely, J5. In other words the House ' as •.vow constituted and as it will con- tinue to be constituted until March 4, 1925 is incapable of choosing a presi- dent. Then under the law, the Senate, -aoh senator voting individually must proceed to elect a vice-fpresident, from 'She opposing .candidates and their choice actually becomes president. ' Hence the importance of vice-presi- Jantiail candidates in the coming .•lection. DEPUTY CHIEF WENZEL ASICS THAT DRIVERS DELAY APPLICATIONS. A KNIGHTLY FIGURE. It needed no national convention to demonstrate the love and devotion of Neiw Yonkers to Alfred E. Smith. But that convention served ad a .-ounding board to the nation of Smith enthusi- asm. Such affection needed no median ical unit rule to keep it saife. Smith's lines held because they were strength- ened by spontaneous and devoted loyalty. When two dedeg-ates from New York abandoned the solid unity, the Governor said \Let them go. I want no votes from anyone that is not for me in his heart.\* The devotion to Governor Smith wias just as deep in the out of town delegates. New Jersey's twenty- eight were voted regularly, and so was Wisconsin's twenty-three, -and Rhode Island's ten arid the blocks from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Vermont. It seemed as though the out of town delegates even more militant than New York, if that were possible. Such solidarity of loyalty can only come from character. Politics is a rough game but it is also the sever- est test of manhood. It is the surest detector of the streak of yellow. Alfred E. Smith emerged from the convention a big national figure. He showed himself a sportsman in the party's hour of need. Smith was always a Democrat first and a candi- date afterwards. He released his delegates to save his party from ir- reparable damage and to his big soul may be largely attributed the -strong ticket nominated. His pledge of sup- port will hearten every Democrat of the nation -and give them the mood of forthcoming victory. The national career of Alfred E. Smith has only just begun.

Two hours later the new farmhand returned to bhe house utterly exhaust- ed. The farmer asked him how he was getting along. \Not gettin' along at all,\ snapt the new man disgustedly; \how do you expect me to hold a -plow with two big, strong houses trying- to pull it away from me all the time?\ THE HOME TOWN WEEKLY. - read the daily paper—read the state and foreign news, Of the doings here and yonder, and of leading statesmen's views. J,ead of wreck, and fire, and murder, baseball, politics and crime, .Vlarriages and births and dyings, all the happenings of time. !ead the whole edition over, from the.. first page to 'the last, -fews and- comments, facts and fancies tilings to come, things of the past. Then aside I thrust that paper for it's no more good to me, :Ialf the things that I've read over soon my memory will flee. then I ..get the home town weekly, and with keen and eager eye, Jead the news it has to tell me, news that's never dull nor dry, For the news that's in that paper tells of folks I know and love, 'oiks who are both friends and neigh- bors and whose goodness I can prove. i'eUs of school, and church, and col- lege, lodge, society and store, Town improvements, council's doings, •squibs and personals galore. Having read this good town papc-r, read and swelled myself with pride, Crank up my ancient flivver and through town and country ride. Far away sometimes it takes me, in- to othei\ towns and states, Where I may take notes and figures and make mental estimates. Then returning to my roof-tree, call my neighbors to my side And declare \So help me Hannah here I ever will abide.\ And with each returning Thursday, eagerly I watch and wait, For the postman who is bringing the old weekly to my gate. Dh, I must have the great dailies, magazines and trade reviews, But the thing that makes me happy is the home-town weekly news. Upstate automobile drivers who will Tequire licenses October first are asked, in the interest of sound admin- istration and efficient organization, to withhold applications for these licen- ses until the middle of August, in a .letter sent to all upstate .county ,elerks,~sigTied by Deputy Chief Frank J, Wenzel, of the Albany office of the motor vehicle bureau. The letter fol- lows: \Judging from the requests for in- j formation and applications received from (a) county clerks, and (to) those desiring operator's licenses, the new motor \vehicle law is causing anxiety, concern and apprehension on the paat of many motorists. \The new statute became effective ' on July first but one need not have a license to drive in counties outside of New York city until October first. In other words, one has three months in which to obtain his license. No reason is seen why, the interests of applications for licenses will not be pwoper-ly served if they refrain from making application until the middle of August. \Mr. Harnett, the new motor vehicle commissioner, was appointed on June 30. He assumed -the duties of his position on July 1. Naturally, there was much work to be done. The form of application blank had-lo be prepared; the style and form of license had to be decided upon; the procedure to be followed had to be planned and worked out. In addition offices must be rented, furniture and equipment secured, and a force of in- spectors and employees obtained and tiained for without training they would be inefficient. He is hoping and expecting; to lay those plans be- fore county clerks at their Mayvi-lle. convention on July 25. \Will you not advise those who make inquiries that they will aid you and convenience the motor vehicle bureau if they refrain from making application for licenses until - after August first; that by that time you expect to have full instructions and be prepared to serve them promptly. It is also suggested that you cause this infonm-ation to be disseminated through motor vehicle organizations and otherwise in your county to. the end that 'interested persons may not be unduly concerned and that they •may undenstand we are making haste as rapidly as is consistent with sound administration and efficient organ- ization.\ Annuity Idea Old Historically, annuities antedate life insurance by far, says the World's Work. It is thought that the great development of bnnking facilities in Assyria and Babylonia must have pro- vided annuities. The first definite mention of them. however, was 40 B.' C. in Rome, and is of sucli a character as to justify a belief that they had been Ions in use. In Hie Middle ages kingdoms, mu- n palities and bankers obtained money by selling annuities for life or terms of years. It is said Unit Eng- 'and's national existence during tlu wars of William of Grunge was large- ly maintained through the money ob- tained by selling annuities. At. first he values of such cnntnics were de- •amined without- scientific ealeula- '•iliou.

People who do not go camping do not realize how much campers ap- preciate a welcome camping -ground, after traveling all day. We, as campers, wish to congratulate the vil- lage of Gape Vincent, also the Im- provement League, which we under- stand makes it possible for campers to come here to rest and enjoy the pleasures of your village. This is our third season here, and we gen- erally stay from six to eight weeks. We have camped three summers and one winter; been in Florida and Savanna, Cuba, and while we have visited camping grounds where there were between four and five hundred cars at one time, we beg to say that Cape Vincent camp is very inviting and we always enjoy our stay here. We have met several campers in your camp^and when in the South met the same people who expressed the same sentiment that we do—that Cape Vin- cent lias a very welcome camping ground.

Famous Patrons of Art The Medici was a distinguished Florentine family, which rose to su- preme power in the Fifteenth century, and became famous as the restorers ol literature and the fine arts throughout Italy. Its most illustrious members were Coslmo de Medici, surnamed I) Vecchio (The Ancient) and Pater Patriae, and Lorenzo, Ms grandson, surnamed The Magnificent, and The Father Of Letters. This Jatter ruled Florence from 1409 to 1492, and proved himself a most munificent patron ol art and literature. The family of the Medici became extinct on the death 'of Its last male representative, Glan Gastone, seventh grand duke of Tus- cany, in 1737.—Kansas City Star.

On September 1,1924, there will go into effect an amendment to the De- partment of Farms and Markets laws known as Chapter 622, of the Laws of 1924, a new section 193-a, in relation to, tile regulation of the manufacture and sale of bread. Escept where otherwise provided, all bread manufactured for sale or of- fered -for sale in this state shall be sold by weight only in 1 lb., 1% lb., •or multiples of the pound. When sold in the standard units de- scribed, whether wrapped on unwrap-, ped, it does not have to be marked. Other size loaves, not of the standi ard unitSj when manufactured and of- fered for sale, when wrapped shall contain the. name of the manufacturer; and the net contents of the container; when unwrapped, they shall have a: label or sticker attached to the loaf in a sanitary manner with the same information. That portion of the label representing the weight shall be not larger than 1x1% inches and not. smaller than 1x1% inches in size. This law does not apply to i-olls nor to stale bread when sold as such* nor to' restaurant or sandwich bread sold for consumption and use on the prem- ises and not for resale, not to fancy bread such * as - fruit breads, nut breads, seed^covered- breads, sugar coated breads and gluten breads, and such other breads as shall be defined as fancy bread, nor to bread sold by the piece cut from the loaf, provided such bread be- weighed\ in the pres- ence of the buyer upon a scale which has been tested and found correct to be used; also, in case of loaves sold at retail or offered or exposed for re- tail sale direct from the manufac- turer to consumer upon the premises or in the presence of the buyer, they may have a sign printed containing the information as to the weight Of such loaves in English and if a dif- ferent language is spoken also in the language\ or languages of the neigh- borhood, conspicuously posted- in plain view of .the buyer and in close •proximity to the bread offered for sale on such.-premises setting forth the weight of each size and vairiety of such loaves. When an inspection of \bread is •made at a bakery by or under the di- rection of the commissioner of farms and mai'kets 01' by or under the di- rection of any city or county sealer, the manufacturer of such bread or his servants or agents shall, upon the re- quest of the official making such in- spection, inform him whether such bread is manufactured for sale in any of the standard unit weights pre- scribed above, and if not so manufac- tured for sale in such standard units, shall furnish such official samples of the labels or wrappers intended to be used on all such loaves of other than standard unit weights, or the intend- ed to be posted with respect to such loaves. The Commissioner of Farms and Markets shall make- such uniform rules and regulations as are necessary to enforce' this section including reasonable tolerance or variations within which all weights shall be kept. mKmtwBwimieB&wsRms wsggBaBHms®as3BBem&$tm For The Porch or La VALUES For JULY e settee or Lawn NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF AS- SESSMENT ROLL.

Shadows in Oil Do Not at Once Fade Freak shadows that do riot £ade away at once when the objects that cast them are removed are described by S. Leonard Pastin in St. Nicholas (New York). We read: \In the great oil regions of Cali- fornia, pools of crude petroleum are quite commonly seen. Here the 0*1 is allowed to remain until it is stored away in barrels. One of the curiosi- ties of the district is the freak sha- dow which these ponds of crude oil produce. If, when the sun is shining brightly, a person stands so that his shadow falls across the surface of the petroleum, a yery remarkable thing happens. Should the individual change liis place, strange to say, the first shadow remains on the ol), while the person casts a second shadow from his new position. The longer the individ- ual lias been standing by the oil pond, the longer will the original shadow remain. The explanation of the mys- tery Is simple: Under the influence of the hot sun, gas is freely produced In the crude oil. This rises to the sur- face in the form of millions of bubbles far too minute to be noticed by the human eye. When a shadow is cast over the surface of the petroleum the temperature is reduced, and this has the effect of checking the production ofbubbles. The result is that the shaded area looks different from the part which is exposed to the sun. Now, when the person moves, the tempera- ture of the oil which has been shielded from the sun does not at once get back to Its former warmth. It takes a little time to heat, and, until this actually happens, the shadow effect persists, giving the curious appearance which has been described.—Literary Digest ^^•4.;..;..I..;..;..]..l-;..]..^f.{.^-.|..]~]^}^]..i..;.^.^.t. t Bible Thoughts for the Week Subscribe for the Eagle. ?1.50 a year e Vincent Garage Market Street—On State Highway.

Hare at Least Got a Brief Run for His Life \Talkin' about running',\ said the seedy man, \about the finest bit o' sprintin' I ever saw was in the .coun- try year before last. I'd been out all day rabbit shootin', and had the most awful luck, when I spied a -whoppin' great hare about two hundred yards away. Takin' a careful sight I let fly, but the instant my bullet touched him, and before it had time to penetrate his skin, that hare was off like a flash. \I never saw two such evenly matched tilings as that hare and my buiiet. For over half a mile they sped on together, neither gainln' on the other, the bullet just managln' to keep in touch with the hare's skin. At the end of a mile, however, the pace be- gan to tell on the hare and he faltered for a moment. \'Twos fatal. The bullet spea on and the poor beast was bowled over.
