While tho Republicans and I)em-. ocrats have made plans for their national conventions at Cleve land j.ikI New York respectively next June, aliothoi* jrroup, known as the Karmer-l.ahor Party is working just as feverishly in pre paration for a national convention at St Paul, or Minneapolis, on May .'in. which may have an important hearing on the outcome -or tm* whole nrj I campaign.

J. A. H. Hopkins, executive chair- j man of the famous Committee of ? Forty-eight, which has been endeav oring for years to put a third party j v'into the |H)liticai race, has Just con eluded a sjerles of conferences Tiere, ; "A new factor has been Intro duced Into the general political sit uation." he said to the writer in a special intervtvw today, "by the call Ins of the Fai iiH'r-I^abor-Promes Hlve convention in either St. Paul or Minneapolis. This convention i* the result of conferences recently held in Chicago. St., Paul and Omaha, at which representatives of various farm, labor ami progressive organi zations agreed to unite politically foi the 1 024^ campaign. "In nddlt ion to the Committee of ' Forty-eight, at whose Initiative these I conferences were called, officials reju-esentlnii the new party move ment in Minnesota. Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana. Idaho. Pennsylvania, New York, South Dakota. Wisconsin,!1 Noith Dakota. California, Iowa.

In I the railing of a national convention Jl at either St! Paul or Minneapolis on May :;o, for the purpose of nomin- ; atlng presidential and_vlce preslden- j t la I candidates.' They also signed a i Joint pledge designating arf the plat- j form upon which this convention should be based: "(a ) Public ownership of rail roads; *" < b ) Control of money and credit by the people, throuuh Goveronient and co-operative hanks; ? "(c? Public control of natural re sources; "(d) Preservation of civil rights guaranteed by. the Constitution; "(f) Prevention of judicial abus es. "It was furthermore provided that all agricultural. Industrial, po litical. or commercial organisations,: partisan or non partisan, which ap- j proved this platform, would be en- I titled to send voting delegates to this convention! and a special pro vision was made for unorganized groups of 25 or more signers to have similar representation. "While the signers of these pledg- 1 es are unalterably# committed to the new party movement they gave am ple evidence of their broad-minded- j ness in relation to organizations. , economic or otherwise, that might agree with them in principle but differ with them In practice, by ex tending a cordial Invitation to all progressive organizations, partisan or non partisan, which are In accord ance with the principles herein set forth, to co-bperate with us and have a voice through representatives of thoir own choosing In the nomin . ^atloi> and. election, of such capdl- J dates, either by endorsement or oth ? erwise. "While many of those signing these agreements have their own in dividual opinions in relation to can didates, It was specifically agreed that every candidate, and only such candidates as pledged themselves to the platform above mentioned, should be eliKible for nomination,* and that subject to this provision whoever was ?winiiuated would re ceive the united support of all tha organizations subscribing to the con- j vent lun call. "It will be observed that the na tional fariner-labor-progressive con vention Is unique In respect to the fact that it Is neither a cut and I Wanted Today J A Home f am n big, accurate brlulit | fared fellow, willing to anight and tin).

On Hi*- contrary, and for tin* first lim ? in our liintory. a national convention lias lifen called of those who have already agreed as to their views and who meot for the purpose of ratify inu and foriuulat ing the platform upon which their presidential, sena torial and congressional candidate.* will he nominated: with the further provision that every candidate must l>e definitely committed to this plat form in order to he eligible for nom ination. "furthermore, the Insistent de mand for the unltinu of the progres sive forces which have been struKUl Inu for expression in various separ ated sections of the country lias been met, and these elements have been actually united not only in spirit, but In fact. These are the distinc tive features of the convention which will meet in the twin cities on May 30th. "Whether the candidates nomin ated at that convention will he chos en from those already holding poll tlcal office, or whether candidates will be nominated who have never held any such office, depends very largely upon whether or not tie progressive Senator and Representa tives who have been urulnu tills movement 011 and emphasizing the necessity for a new party, will, prion to May :50th . say openly and in pub lic what they have repeatedly stated in private. Should they do so. it isj hiuhly probable that the national farmer-labor-progresslve convention j will select Its candidates from aiuong 1 the ra^iks of those who have the! courage and the vision to break J away from their old party associa tions. There is. however, eligible | material in and out of Congress from, which to choose, and it would not be all surprising to find that the I nomination of candidates who hav* never held public office would fur-, nish a refreshing innovation that, would meet with a ready response ] front the progressive voters at; large." Mr. Hopkins did not. discuss indi viduals. Curiously enough, however, this group does not include Senator Hiram Johnson in the list of eligible progressives as he is campaigning for the regular Republican nomina tlm>. Senator LaFollette of Wiscon sin is the acknowledged leader (of the farmer-Iabor-progresslve element nnd the nomination will go to him In all probability, unless ill-health or personal reasons should Influence him to decline a nomination.

When tin Giants trained in Klnriiln in 1 ?? 1 fi. the attrition of the club was allNirt ? d to a M?unui: third baseman on the I'nivi i t > of I'lorida team. H? could hit and field, and before tie* Giants left town he iiad. agreed to join them. Hi- looked like Kddi* Collins, and batted something like him. H?' was Itichhourg. When be r? ported to the Giants they had no place for him. so they sent him to California for trial. Ca! ifornla sent him back.- Then lie was sent South. And a^ain be canii back. H? was sent sever;*} other placets. from all of which lie came hack. Kinallv he was dropped and went home to rest from his Journeys. IlufTpted around from pillar to post, always hitting fairly well, he )\\ rned up with Charleston. South Carolina, in 1f?22. He hatted 286. | but the major leagues passed him up because of the Giants' experience. Then Nashville signed him. Joining Nashville, with all the baseball lore he had collected In his travels, he began burning the South ern Association up with hi* batting. Then, with the luck that had pur sued him for years, he broke his leg. Hut not until he had played 41 games and led his league with an average of P.78. his record inclintlnu seven two-hagsers, four three-bag gers. and three home runs. Hrokeu leg and all. Washington took him, sent him to n hospital and told him to rest and get well. If Rich bou rg has finally got all the hard luck out of his system, he may do Washington a lot of good next season with his willow. Hut he isn't too long on fielding, though he has played about every position both in Infield and the outfield. Washington has another player for 1D2 4 who Is of great repute in the South. He is Joe Martina, a pitcher. Some seasons ago. when the majors were buffeting their wav around Texas in spring training, they were frequently beaten by a pitcher at Heaumont. The Texans called him "the Texas cocktail" ? Martina, of course. The Giants steered into Heaumont for an exhibition game one day and the oil folks were all set for the shindy, for Martina wa*< to pitch and show the Giants up. For some time the game was a battle that gave the Texans real Joy. Then, just in the moment of their triumph, a Te.xfcs outfielder let the ball get away with the bases filled. It rolled to the next oil well and the Heaumont team ran dry right then. That ended nego tiations for Martina which the Giants had secretly inaugurated. He might have gone up from Texas then had it not been kfor that loose flngered chap in the outfield. Hut Martina never has lost ills grip on the South, where they hold him high as a native product. He won 21 games and lost 10 last^year for New Orleans. He has no curve. As almost all the pitchers today are without a curve, this may be Mar tina's year to go big with Washing ton. | Some Specials | Jlewt Tuli Butter ."> Ic IMoruan'x Coffer 28c Mothers Oats 10c Post Toasticn 8c Cocoa Pudding, Small 10c Large 10c Pliopr* 2'yfi and 396 * A Morgan & Parker i USE Fuller Brushes They Wear J.

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist 8 ays Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage T^a and Sulphur Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lacfc of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made upfa mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dar'.: and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hfcir which is so at- j tractive, usetonly this old-time recipe. Nowadays. we get this famous mix- ! ture improved by the>addition of other ingredients by asking atany drug store forf a bwtle of "WycthlTSage and Sul- I Ehur Compound." which darkens the sir so naturally, so evenly, that no body can possibly tell it has been ap plied. You just dampen a sponge or 1 soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies witn Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur , Compound is that, besides beautifully I darkening the hair after a few applica- | lions, it also brings back the gloss and j | lustre and frives it an appearand oi j abundance. .

Great basic facts which were but little realized, ex cept by thinkers alone economic lines, have now be come clearer to the public at large, and to business lead ers in particular. One such fact is that Desire is the foundation of bus iness. It is the desire of the people for any article of commerce that maKfcs it profitable to produce it. When that desire fails all the agencies of its production must Cease to operate. This fact was considered academic until the nation wide cessation of liberal buying made it a matter of* cardinal importance, and the question" of the hour be (?nmHho means, if atvr, of TPSTTrrtnjrthr poptilnV de*tT" to ,do business ? the desire; to buy. It came to be seen that the public dpsire for the prod ucts of a business or an industry was the only real and permanent asset. Every other assumed asset became a liability when that desire subsided. It is upon this basic fact that Advertising rests. It is the function of Advertising" to create desire. The desire that is created by Advertising is always some specialized form of an elemental need. Elemental needs, in their simple form, are the raw material out of which must be created the Demand for the products of , industry. This Demand in its turn, upholds civili zation itself. It is the one necessary thing that inspires all human activity. It is the function of Art and Industry to take the raw materials of natifre and refine them into* products that constitute Supply. It is the function of Advertis ing to take the raw materials of elemental needs for food. shelter, and clothing, and refine them into the de sires for the finest products of Art and Industry, and these desires constitute Demand. Each function is a:i important as the other. And now the time has com? when this fact is realized as never before. 1. D????????????"!??????]???????
