The hunt for Presidential delegates is on. It will grow in vigor and intensity until the nominations are made in June. 1918. The candidates are coming into the open. Ex-Senator Burton, of Ohio, thought it best to get out of the United States before proclaiming his ambition. He Journeyed to Panama and then softly admitted he was in the running. Myron T. Herrick, ex-Ambassador to France, and Governor Willis, or unra, have lisrhtnins rods extended high and and will contest with Mr. Burton the election of delegates from Ohio. Root's Frlcndn mt Work. Senator Root, in New York, an nounces he is not a candidate for the nomination, but his friends in that state are lavine wires to capture the New York delegation for him. believing the vote of the great Empire State must oe reckoned with in the making of a se lection. Governor Whitman is in a receptive mood. From the heart of Illinois there comes a gentle murmur that Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman is nibbling at i'resiaenuai bait.

Republican National and Congres clonal committees are perfecting their organizations in every district in every ttate. The organizers are at worn, par tlcularly in Indiana. Missouri. Califor nia and New York. They will become active soon in the Caroilnas and In Louisiana. Funds for carrying on this work are being contributed by business men who belong to the Republican party throughout the country. In this sense the work of the 1916 campaign is on. It will be continued until the polls close on election day. From now on no op portunity to make Republican votes will be overlooked. National issues, especially the tariff, are to be considered in every local po litical contest. State Contests Important. Especial attention is to be given to state contests in Maryland and Massa- chusetts next Fall. Maryland now has a Republican Governor and every effort Is to be made by the National leaders not only to Insure the election of an other Republican Governor in that state, but to capture the general as sembly as welL The elections in Massachusetts will be for a complete state ticket and the Republican leaders hope to defeat the present Democratic Governor with Samuel W.

Wash., April 4. (Special.) Promising weather and ground condi tions and a greatly Increased grain acreage in Montana and North Dakota will insure a grsln crop well above normal next season and thus contribute to the prosperity of the entire North west, according to H. B. Earling. vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, who has Just i turned from his annual inspection trip. "Montana has placed about 3o per cent more ground under cultivation and North Dakota 15 per cent." said Mr. Earling today. "There has been plenty of snow in Montana and even too much in North Dakota, as I saw drifts 10 feet deep there a week ago. Promis ing weather conditions and this In creased acreage are nearly certain to make a great grain crop. Conditions are practically the same throughout the Middle Western States, I under stand The farmers of Montana and North Dakota, the former especially, should become prosperous this year, for, along with the high price for grain and the outlook for a good crop, wool is higher in price than it has been at any time during the past 10 years. Business conditions generally throughout Mon tana and North Dakota are improving. The country stores are all doing a good business, and the tide of emigra tion in these two states has started earlier than usual. "The lumber business eastward bound is satisfactory and has been for some time. There will be a great deal of lumber bought in North Dakota and Montana Just s soon as the farmers feel sure of a crop. Westbound freight business is improving also." NEW YORK, April 1. (Special.)

Ocean-to ocean flights along three routes are planned by the Aero Club of America as a part of its National 90 days' aero plane competition, beginning July next, the club announced tonight. The competition, as described in the club's recent announcement, is designed to assist the War and Navy Depart ments in developing aviation corps from the National Guard and naval militia, and also to demonstrate the practicabil ity of mail-carrying by aeroplane to isolated places. "To carry the competition into every state, the contest committee of the Aero Club has outlined three main trans continental routes," says tonight's state menC "Every aviator in America will be able to reach one of these routes at some point by a cross-country flight of moderate lengtb. The contest commit tee believes that there will be many aviators who, in flying for the daily cross-country prizes of $100 a day, will nnd themselves on the way across the continent in pursuit of this aim, and who will find it to their advantage to keep on In an enrort to gain the sea-to- sea prize. "For water flying, It is proposed to establish a distance prize. Starting and landing places for water aeroplanes will be located on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts, as well as on the Great Lakes." IN 13 NET INCREASE OF 129,493 TEARS IS SHOWN.

The struggles of many a man through life seem like a journey through a howling wilderness of bills which mount so high that he can hardly see the blue sky of living economy. But one of the strangest, reckless habits of running up do mestic expense is the way that many people still cling to old-fashioned heat ing ways which greedily eat up coal and send the heat a-flying up the chimney, rather than distributing it evenly to the rooms to comfort the folks. The only way to get out of that wilderness of self-imposed taxation, and to stay out forever, is by putting in an outfit of coal-economizing 1ERICAN x DEAL Radiators IBoilers n rM.4f4A tkMw WrS'-'h wA mm y COAL fCOAL 7 N" is) I ' fets c0AL Lr0 "Our ideal heating will lead you out of the tfUderness of high fuel costs."
