ELIZABETH KELLY JOI>'S THE CO-OPS Distinguished Wo 111 an Educator Pres ident C. Teachers Association To Aid Tobacco Grower*. (S. D. Fr Use 11) ' Miss Elizabeth Kelly, President of tfia Ninrth CwolJ.ua Teachers Associa tion" whi^has held a high position !tf the State Department of Education and Is one of the most prominent fi gures in the educational work of North Carolina, this week Joined the field service forces of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association as the head of its new department -of women's work. The tobacco association now has 1800. local units, or community orga nizations, In North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, nd Miss Kelly will devote herself to the work of de veloping these local organizations and directing the Increasing activities and interest In cooperative marketing of the women on the tobacco farms of three states. , Miss Kelly, Who was born and reared on a North Carolina farm, has spent her life in close touch with the soil and the country people. Her sympa thies and affection are with the coun try people and the spirit with which she enters her work with the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association is evidenced by the following letter stat ing why she has left her high posltlbn With the Department of Education to aid the movement tor cooperative mark etlng of tobacco. Miss Kelly's Message "Years of teaching and supervision In rural schools have kept me close to farm people .and their problems. No one knows better than I that as a whole, farmers desire opportunities as good as any for their children and for themselves. It is largely a question of ability to pa ythe required price. With them it Js not so much a question of ability and willingness toproduce wealth from the farm as a question of how to retain a fair share of that wealth for the farm. "There must be some way found by which the farmer may not only live himself but may become economically Independent so as to Insure the pro ducts which all other classes of peo ple must use to live. An Intelligent system of markettag points the w?y to economic independence for the farm ?r. With this Independence will come good homes, good schools, good church es and other conditions that Insure and perpetuate the welfare of any rural community. North Carolina Is primarily an agricultural state and primarily upon agriculture must the ?tote's welfare depend. 4 "It Is onethlng to boast of our great agricultural wealth and quite a different thing to realise that no reasonable or Just share of thia wealth la Insured to the producers. For this reason I am ready to do wtutf I may do by way of helping to establish the principles of cooperative marketing since this- seems to offer relief front conditions past and present which tend to keep In bondage a people that shout* Of all ngkn Itmm m cm* tkan any other class on earth." SfcAMOO PASSES 500 HAlUi tQonttnued From First Pace.) [rom all evidence they -lid not do ?u^ rhe McAdoo peoplo declared tliey knew there were more Smith votes on Aha . floor to be brough out when called tor and they were playing a game which would force all the Smith votes out before they brought out their own full Btrength. NOT OVER YET On tile surface, the situation, when the convention fttijottrtietl tonight. h?4 not reached the stage for final dealing between the leaders. It was obvious that the McAdoo Htrength had reach that the McAdoo and Smith strength had reached such proportions that the contest was not going to be decided in open football play, and it was more certain than ever that each side had a veto on the other. The deadlock, therefore, was becoming tighter. Mttht Session That stormy petral of Democratic politics, William Jennings Bryan, added another tumultous chapter to his long career today when he- went before the Democratic National Con vention In an attempt to stem the tide of opposition to William G. Mc Adoo. Interrupting an ail-day succession of Inconclusive ballots for a nomi nee for the Presidency, the three times candidate of his party plunged the convention into a near riot and finally waB all but driven from the platform by heckling delegates and booing galleries. Besides Mr. McAdoo, he mentioned seven other Presidential aspirants who would be satisfactory to him, but none of them aroused more than mo mentary enthusiasm and when the balloting was resumed scarcely a vote had been changed. ? Neither did the conferences of the leaders during an ensuing recess ma terially alter the situation, and the convention went on into another night session with its disagreement over the nomination still in a jum ble. McAdoo and Smith, both unable to make material headway, kept their respective parties at the head of the list. Davis, of West Virgina, lost a few votes, but remained In third place, and the supporters of Ralston, of Indiana, became more active in presenting the qualifications of their candidate as a compromise selection. Various Opinions Thfe entire effect of Mr. Bryan's ap pearence before the convention was not immediately apparent. The Mc- ! Adoo men declared the incident would stimulate a new rally in the lagging fortunes of the former Treas ury Secretary, but the Smith support ers saidBryan had turned the trick for which they had been waiting, and had relegated the McAdoo candidacy definitely to the limbo. The most vociferous Interruptions to the . speech o t the Commoner came from the galleries, Jammed with New Yorkers rooting for Governor Smith, trat'tt V#* that a lar*? Woe of the delegates themselves resented what they regarded as a gratultious effort to lecture them. Antl-McAdoo delegations broke in with a chorus of questions about McAdoo's "oil re tainer" as soon as the candidate's name was mentioned and tried vainly by preliminary tactics to have the speaker removed from the platform. To these appeals chairman Walsh presented a deaf ear, although he turned savagely on the galleries and at one time ordered that part of them be cleared. Mr. Bryan obtained his leave to speak by requesting unanimous con sent to explain his vote on the 38th ballot. There were numerous objec tions, but Senator Wulah announced from the chair that he heard none, and the erstwhile Nebraskan, now a delegate-ut-lar&e frcm Florida Mount ed the platform. - ltccallU:g the spcL-taculur appearance of Mr. Byaii before the Baltimore con vention of li?12 to blast the candidacy of Chump Clark ami turn the tide In favor of Woodrow Wilson, the partis ans of all the present candidates at first listened attentively. curiomj'vtQ know what surprise might be in store for tliem The speaker began with a plea for party harmony and moved on amid applause to declare he would name none of the men to whom he ob jected and wanted only (o callatten tlon anew to several he considered eminently qualified. The first name he mentioned wan that: of Dr. A. A. Murphree. of Florida State University. Laughter swept the floor and galleries and a few good-natured gibes were shouted at the Commoner. There were rip ples of applause as he presented in turn the names of Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina; Senator llobinson. of Arkansas; Senator Halston, of In diana; 'Senator Walsh, of Montana; and K. T. Meridith, of Iowa. Both ap plause and laughter answered a pre sentation of the qualifications of Mr. Bryan's brother, the Governor of Ne braska. The name of Mr. McAdoo had been reserved for the last, and the speaker, stirred up a demonstration of appro val from the McAdoo delegates and a rumbling avalanche of booes and hisses from the Smith supporters In the gallery by declaring the former Treasury Secretary was entitled to the nomination, "whether you like him or not, whether you nominate him or not." Cries of "Oil." Cries of "Oil" and "We Want Smith." rolled out in increasing "volume as Mr. Bryan sought to go on with his speech. Unable to make himself heard, he appealed to Chalrmnn Walsh, who In turn sought without effect to stay the conflagration. Finding himself powerless, the Montana Senator mount ed a chair and shaking his gavel at the long sweep of galleries, souted I repeatedly to the sergeants-at-arms and the police to eject a group of spectators who had attracted his at tention from a gallery overhanging the stage. But the officers either did not hear or thought It inadvisable to comply. In the midst o I the uproar Joseph F. Fitzpatrick, of Jersey City, climied a chair In the New Jersey delegation and shouted up to Mr. Bryan a question about McAdoo's acceptance of a retainer from oil companies. "Mr. Doheny's retainers related to oil in. Mexico." retorted the Common er. "J will go further and say that if any oil ever touched McAdoo the In tense and persistent opposition of Wall Street has washed it all away." ?Then, while the noise and con fusion continued, Dennis F. DuiH Iavy, of Aahtrtmla, Ohl8,~ irtw?t back a question about a tax refund In tbe case of Youngstown concern ? for which McAdoo was attorney. f "Then you are not content to rest your case on oil," Mr. Bryan began, but he was drowned out again by a chorus of booes In which many of the' delegates Joined. The farm and home agentB of the State College extension division will gather for their short course -.t the College on July 14. The course will extend through the Farmers Conven tion on July 23, the agents remaining for this gathering.

II AT A UK VOL* WEAVING? W' arc all weavers; perhaps some of realize the fact and some do not. yet it is true. Each of us are weaving a garment which wemay call a charac ter or a life. Our mothers or grandmothers tell us that the foundation, or warp of a dress which they wore was very strung. What are we using a9 a foun dation in the life we are weaving? We can find nothing that is as strong, and will stand the wear and tear of time as the love of Christ. Then why not use it for the foundation? It will stand the thorns and snags of sorrow, dis appointment, and trials. It will not become faded by the glare of the wTong kind of pleasures. We would not weave a dress with out a pattern would we? And a life is of far more importance than the most gorgeous robe a queen ever wore. How important and necessary it is then that we have a perfect pattern. The life ot tb* rince of Peace" is the only per fect pattern which we can follow. "We can weave Into this garment ot life Justa plain dull background, or we can put into It varied and beauti ful designs; the forgetmenot of un selfishness, the violet of humility, the' lily of purity, the daisy of innocence, and the golden rod of sunshine and happiness. Besides the flowers, there are pictures that we might see there, perhaps a child's tear-stained face made to smile again because ot a gentle touch, or a loving word; a shutin's face brightened because of a visit someone took time to mak,e; a heart made lighter and happier by the kindly word that was spoken and the friendly handshake that was give*). Perhaps, all unknown to us. ? me one Is using each of our lives as a pattern for his own. would we reco?. uUe the garment that Is patterned after our own, if we saw another per son wearing it?
