SOUTH GETS PRESIDENTIAL PLUM. Honorable John C. Dancy Gives Away To The Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson. Washington, March 2—President Taft on Monday sent to the Senate the nomination of Herny Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. The appointment had been foreshadowed for some time and occasioned no surprise among those on the inside. Mr. Johnson was the right hand man to Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock in the campaign for Taft delegates in Georgia and as manager of the forces opposed to National Committeeman Hudson W. Lyons, appeared before the National Congress to score points for the administration candidate. He thus won the confidence of Hr. Hitchcock, and from the New York headquarters he was entrusted with some of the most important details of the work among the colored voters throughout the national contest. He enjoys a lucrative practice as a lawyer in Atlanta and was one a member of the famous law firm of Pledge Johnson & Malone. He is actively identified with the Odd Fellows and other fraternal organizations, and is vice president of the Atlanta Independent Publishing company. He is highly respected by both races in his native state. The resignation of Mr. Dancy will not afflict until the first of May. The retiring and incoming Recorders will thus have time to arrange their personal affairs prior to the change. It is expected that the appointment of Mr. Johnson will be promptly confirmed by the senate. The retirement of Mr. Dancy was in the nature of things in this age of hurdle and struggle for the plums that flow out of political life. He leaves his office with a record unequalled by any previous incumbent, having increased the surplus receipts from $500 in 1901 to practically $15,000 in 1910, and turned into the treasury more than double the amount reported by all of his predecessors combined. Besides this, he completely reorganized the system of management of the office and put in new equipment in keeping with the dignity of the capital of the Nation's government. OBITUARY.

OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED The Threshermen Conclude Best Meeting in History With Strong Plea for Dirt Roads for the State. Des Molines, Mar. 11.—Complete harmony with Governor Carroll's good roads movement was voiced by the state threshermen in the final session of the state convention at the Auditorium when they adopted a set of resolutions. Appreciation of the services of the Des Molines Commercial club and the Des Molines Thresher club in making the convention a success was expressed in the resolutions. They follow in full: "Be it resolved by the Iowa Threshermen's association, in annual convention assembled, That we are in harmony with the movement for good roads and better bridges, especially better bridges, as a weak and unsafe bridge often necessitates the exposure of a risk of life that should be eliminated by the construction of bridges strong enough to carry the machinery belonging to a threshing outfit with a fair margin of safety. With this end in view, we desire to go on record as being in favor of such legislation as is necessary to provide for a thorough and practical system of road improvement and the institution of a plan of bridge building that will result in the installment of bridges in all parts of the state that are absolutely safe. "Whereas, The excessive cost of building and maintaining stone roads made their general adoption in Iowa at the present time impracticable, therefore be it "Resolved, That it is the judgment of this convention that good roads can be built of dirt and maintained at a reasonable expense. "Whereas, The Des Moines Thresher club has, by its uniting and timely expenditure of time and money very largely contributed to the success of this, the third annual meeting of our organization, therefore be it. "Resolved, That we extend to it this evidence of our gratitude and appreciation of its devotion to us and our interests. "Be it resolved by this association. That we extend to the Des Moines Commercial club our thanks and best wishes as a token of our appreciation of the use of the Auditium, which has been so kindly furnished us by them at their expense." J. C. Cettrell of Kingsley was reelected president of the association and James Devin of Valley Junction was again chosen as secretary and treasurer. I. N.

Des Moines, Mar. 11—Commander Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the north pole, will speak in the Des Moines Coliseum on the evening of Monday April 4. Do farmers eat the proper sort of food? The farmer of today buys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's a good thing that this is so because he has a great variety to select from. He should, however, use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength. The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that the Quaker Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor. Farmers should give this subject careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the farm hands. 57 DESERT MELODY.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION It Makes for Health. A man tried leaving off meat, potatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape-Nuts is the natural phosphate of potash grown in the grains from which it is made. This is the element which transforms albumen in the body into the soft gray substance which fills brain and nerve centers. A few days' use of Grape-Nuts will give one a degree of nervous strength well worth the trial. Look in pkgs for the little book, "The Road to Wellyville." "There's a Reason."

STRIKE LEADERS JUBILANT Newspaper Canvass of Philadelphia Milla and Shops Shows 100,000 Men and Women Have Quit Work —Riots Cease. Chicago—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who has been in the city since Saturday, is planning for the calling of a general strike of street car employees in every large city in the country in sympathy with the Philadelphia car men, according to dispatches that reached Chicago from the eastern strike center. All Monday morning Mr. Gompers and other labor leaders were in conference in his apartments in the Kaiserhof hotel. Repeated efforts were made to see the labor chief, but he would receive no one except his conferences. It was rumored in labor circles, however, that the subject of a nation-wide strike was under discussion in the conference. Cleveland, Pittsburg, Omaha and San Francisco, it is said, will be the first cities to be given the general walkout order, if the plans are carried out. These were selected by the labor head because the Philadelphia company has large holdings in the railway systems of those cities. Philadelphia.—The industries of this city are practically paralyzed because of the general strike that started Friday at midnight. Disregarding the extravagant claims of the strike leaders, who said that between 125,000 and 150,000 workers had left loom and bench, and disregarding, likewise, the claims of the police and Rapid Transit Company, who declared that only 18,000 had quit, a leading newspaper of this city Monday made a mill to mill and shop to shop canvass and visited every affected part of the city. It report was "100,000 men and women have joined the 6,000 motormen and conductors. More than that number, according to the talk of those already on strike, will be out to day." The impartial investigators found that the "sympathetic strikers" were divided about as follows: Building trades, 30,000; Hebrew trades (clothing, etc.), 30,000; textile trades, 12,000; unskilled workmen depending upon skilled textile unionists, 20,000 and miscellaneous, 8,000. These figures may be taken as at least fairly accurate. Certainly there were no less than 75,000 or 80,000 idle men upon the streets of the city. An automobile tour through all the Kensington and Richmond districts in the northeast section of the town proved that conclusively. In that section alone there must have been 50,000 per sons on the streets who would not have been there on a normal day. Yet withal there was less roiling than any day has witnessed since the beginning of the car men's strike. There was only one sizeable fight, and not very much damage was done in that. The leaders of the strike professed to be jubilant over the way that not only union but non-union workers turned out and behaved themselves. Mayor Reyborn and the city councils have refused to take any part in any scheme that might bring about an adjustment of the differences between the street car men and the company. The labor leaders assert that their "general sympathetic strike" will assume surprising proportions, although they make no estimate of the number who will walk out. The police and the officials of the Rapid Transit Company say that the general strike will turn out to be a fizzle and that in a couple of days not only the striking motormen and conductors, but those who are striking in sympathy with them will be begging to have their jobs back.

Ite report was “100,000 men and women have joined the 6,000 motor- men and conductors. More than that umber, according to the talk of those Already'on strike, will be out today,” ‘The Impartial Investigators found that the “sympathetic strikers” were divided about as follows: Bullding trades, 30,000; Hebrew trades (clothing, ete.), 30,000; textile trades, 12,000; unskilled workmen de- pending upon sktlied textile unloniste, 20,000, and miscellaneous, 8,000. These figures may be taken as at least fairly accurate. Certatnly there were no less than 75,000 or 80,000 ldle men upon the streets of the city, An automobile tour through all the Ken- sington and Richmond districts in the, northeast section of the town proved that conclusively, In that section Alone there must have been 60,000 per} fons on the strects who would not have been there on a normal day. Yet withal there was less rioting than any day has witnessed since the beginning of the car men's strike, ‘There was only one sizeable fight, and hot very much damage was done in that. ‘The leaders of the strike professed to be Jubliant ower the way that not only union but non-union workers turned out and behaved themselves. Mayor Reyborn and the elty councils have refused to take any part jn any scheme that might bring about‘an ad- fustment of the differences between the street car men and the company. ‘The labor leaders assert that their “general sympathetic strike” will as- sume surprising proportions, although they make no estimate of ‘the num- ber who will walk out, ‘The police and the offctals of the Rapid Transit Company say that the general strike will turn out to be a fizzle and that in a couple of days not only the atrik: ing motormen and conductors, but those who are striking in sympathy with them will be begging to have their jobs back.
