__ NEW POLITICAL PARTY ORGANIZED AT CHICAGO Campaign Support of 10 or 12 Organizations is Expected. Chicago.—Foundation stones were laid for a new party on which to unite | all third party movements, when the committee of 48 and the single tax party joined in their first national con- vention to draft a platform and pick | nominees who, they ope, will win the support of 10 or 12 liberal organiza- tions. The first day’s session, devoted to keynote speeches and work, developed as many different views as there were fractions repre- sented. Many Elements Represented. As organized, the committee of 48 convention numbered 539 accredited delegates, with a majarity of 270 re- | quired to nominate, The 539 included in addition to the 48ers and single taxers, fraternal delegates from the non-partisan league, triple alliance of the northwest, farmers’ national coun cil, people's league, the ducers’ league and consumers’ league and several other organizations. Th committee of 48 embraces a number of well-known liberal some of whom were prominent in the “bull moose” movement eight years ago.

Amalgamation of the committee of 48 and labor party of the United States with a common platform and common presidential ticket was recommended to the two conventions, John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, and key note speaker, brought the convention to its highest enthusiasm with a plea “that the day would come when the working people of the United States would get together and do a job such as the workers of Russia have done.’ Delegates stamped and whistled and three cheers for Russia were given Fitzpatrick declared there was noth ing to prevent the “hand and brain workers taking the government out of the hands of, not Americans, but in ternational financial pirates,” and ad vised all the minority groups to unite on one ticke DALLAS MILL DESTROYED $200,000 Loss Estimated to Willam- ette Valley Plant.

ERE is no better time than now to start figuring on the best machine to cut and bind your grain, mow and-rake your hay. Be sure you are safe. The McCormick Improved Binder, like all other implements bearing the name “McCormick,” has earned the confidence of farming communities by its consistent performance. Every change or addition made has back of it the practical experi- ence of men who know what it required to do clean, thorough work at low cost. McCormick Haying Machines are equally popular. The same high standard so apparent in the binder has been maintained in haying machines. Every unit of the McCormick line is built to answer some practical farming purpose, to save time, labor, and money. It is this fact that has given McCormick machines such a distinct leadership in sections where successful farming is the rule, not the exception.

Imt- THEY TOOK HER LITERALLY But Probably Musical Comedy Star Did Not Mean Just What She i Threatened. A popular musical comedy star was taking her summer vacation in a New England village this year, and good naturedly agreed to participate in an “entertainment” to be given at the town hall for the benefit of local char- ities, She procured from New York one of the costumes from her last win- ter's show, and a fetching poster show- ing herself tn that same costume. Soon after the poster was on display a dele- gation of village ladies waited upon the committee of gentlemen who were engineering the entertainment and pro- tested against the chic costume of the poster, which was, in fact, that of the conventional “prince” of musical com- edy, with a frank if pleasing display of silk-encased limbs, “Let's send for Miss de Lancy and see if we can't fix it up,” a commit- teeman suggested, and this was done, Now, besides being good natured, Miss de Lancy is high-spirited, and rather thought that the costume which had been good enough for her to ap- pear in for some hundreds of times in New York would do for one appear- ance in Hicksville. “There is no use talking,” she an- nounced with decision, “I'll appear in that costume or nothing!” There was a moment of horrified st- lence, then quick whispering among the lady delegation, and a moment lat- er their protest against the proposed costume was withdrawn.—Philadelphia Ledger. COSTS MONEY TO RUN Z00 Pets of Londoners Are Really Expen- sive Propositions in the Feed- ing Line, How much does It cost now to feed an elephant for a year? Two thousand dollars, say the officials of the London zoo. And a giraffe costs half as much. So that, with the increased prices of food, have come new problems for the keepers of menageries. The meat foods include beef, horse flesh, guinea pigs, rats, cats, mice, rabbits, frogs, snakes, fish, pigeons, ducks, sparrows, gentles, snails, ants and cod liver oll. The ga- zelles, buffaloes and antelopes must be provided with rock salt. They are fed on oats, bran, hay, green clover, to- gether with carrots and potatoes. The birds are the most difficult to feed sat- isfactorily. Flamingoes, for instance, require soaked wheat, boiled shrimps and fish cut small, Some birds are fed largely on bullock’s liver. This ts cut into slices, boiled, then put through a mincing machine. The mince is dried in a slow oven and preserved. The dry mince is usually mixed with bran or pollard, Quantities of Insects have to be kept In stock for the Insect- eating birds. These are principally meal worms and gentles, which ts the polite name for meat maggots. But for some birds files and grasshoppers are required, The monkeys require fruit, such as bananas and apples, while the snakes must be fed on small animals, such as rabbits, mice and rats.

A grab on a structural steel tower unloads the into a small hopper, and then fed to a that it may serve In filling or empty- ing the three bunkers.

One evening, coming home from the theater on the street car with my lady friend, I stepped from the car and noticed an automobile coming up be- hind the car. I kept my eye on the automobile and took the elbow of the next person alighting after me, ex- pecting It to be my friend, Still watch- ing the motor, I led the elbow safely to the walk, and then turned my at- tention to her. But, to my embarrass- ment, who should I find myself escort- ing, but a great, tall man, who said In the sweetest voice: “Thank you, I was never escorted by a young man across the street before; you are the kindest fellow I ever met.” My lady friend was following us, and she gig- gled over the joke all the rest of the way home.—Exchange.
