Y., July 1 After bal loting through two more long tions the Democratic national con vention adjourned tonight v, ith its fight over the Presidential nomina tion still a draw. Despite material losses, and threats of more, McAdoo , still - was in the lead in the hirtitth. and last ballot taken before adjournment with Smith climbing steadily but still short of even a third of the' total delegate ttrcngth. John W. Davis, by picking off stray votes here and there and two or three solid state delegations, had gone to third place and the. friends of Kahton, of Indianawere taking re newed hope from assurances given tlicrn of a swing to their candidate otire the deciding break in the bal loting a tries. The backers 'of the Indiana sella; tor declared he would be satisfac tory Jo the McAaoo torces, snoui'i Mr. McAdoo release his delegates ar;l that William Jennings Bryan and other leaders were actively working loward the nomination of Kalston. Meantime Mr. Bryan had come out openly against Davis and had de clared he never could be nominated. The McAdoo men denied the story that they had undertaken negotia tions to twing any part of their votes to Ralston i:i case of a deciding swing away from McAdoo. Like the man agers for Governor Smith, they in sisted the time had not come to talk of sfcond choices, and predicted vic tory in tomorrow's balloting. Starting with 479 votes when, the .roll was called for the sixteenth time this morning,, McAdoo lost first Mis souri and then Oklahoma and in th( thirtieth ballot taken just before ad journment until tomorrow his (fetal was 415 and a half. There was plenty of talk about restlessnessa4-'pros-Dcctive breaks . in other McAdoo states now held urideitne unit rule, but in the late ballots the McAdoo ranks held with an unexpected solid ity. Most of the delegations had dc ttrmined at least to sit tight , until ' they had slept on proposals to go : elsewhere. , Starting with 305 and a half this morning, Governor Smith climbed to a total of 323 and a half at adjoitrn . mer't. . vDavis started the day with 61 and ' ende'dit wi'tTi '126'and a half.

J MEMORY OF Will you give me pace in you rea per '.to say a few words about by dearest friend and neighbor, whom it plea'td Almighty God to remove from our midst on Sunday morning Juiie 29th. Just as the sun was start ing on its upward flight her spirit ascended j'nto that blessed eternal home, where her poor old suffering body will know no more pain. While we with her loved ones mourn, it is but fitting to say lhat our mourning is for one in every way worthy of our love and respect. While we will miss her, Oh ! so much, her life Was so full of suffering and, had been for many years, we cannot let ourselves grieve", because our loss is heaven's gain. ' Owing to my own ill health I was unable to be with her in her last days, but from what she told me a month or two ago she was glad to go. She said, "Why should I not want to go? I have as many loved ones on the other side of the river as I have on this. My only regret is that, of leav ing Uncle John behind, but he will not be long in coming and I will be there to welcome him home." While she for many years was not able to visit her neighbors she was ever ready to help ihem in any way she could.' You never 'called in vain for ah accommodation or a kindness., You never heard her murmur or complain of her own sufferings or troubles. but. she was ever ready .to cheer and comfort others. I never visited her that I didn't corne away feeling bet ter than when 1 went. We extend to the bereaved family our love and sympathy and commend them to the loving care of our Heavenly bather and may they mingle with their sor row joy remembering that she is now enjoying the promised reward.

The questions pertain to your home town and an swers to them would prove very in teresting to the general public. What do, you know about your home town? Here is the test: Who was the first settler? ' When did he settle here? When was franklin incorporated as a town or village, under its own government? Who named the town, and how did it get its name? . Who was the' firs! town or village executive? ' . " What denomination was the firs? church, and when was it built? What is our present population? When was the first school estab lished? '... ' When was our postofrice' estab lished, and who . was, bur fir"st post master? , What is a fair cash valuation of all the real estate in .Franklin? . What is our present tax rate? How is our municipal government supported? How is our public school system governed? . Who is the oldest male resident? Who is the oldest female resilent? Who was the first child born here? Who Is the most perristent town booster? Who is the most chronic objector? What have you done for Franklin? The Press invites and will be glad to print replies to these questions. They would certainly make interest ing reading. .The Rub. "My client," declared the first law yer, "is willing to do the right thing." "So is mine," said the, second law yer.
