Litw Observance Urged.
..The observance of the law," he
'iuld "is the greatest solvent of public
"lis."' He deplored attempts to create
class distinctions.
The scene of the notification was
Allen Field, the repretatlon ground of
Smith college, a natural amphitheater.
A platform large enough to accommo
date only the speakers and a few dis
tinguished guests was erected at one
end of the field and on the grassy

''governor Coolidge heard from Gov
ernor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky
the formal announcement of his nomi
nation "by the spontaneous wish" oi
Discussing economic relations, Gov
ernor Coolidge declared the extravj.
gant standards of government expend
itures bred of recent years must be
eliminated and a revision of taxation
be accompanied by 'a reduction of pri
vate extravagance. He urged a dif
ferent public attitude toward industry,
a large comprehension of the inter
dependence of capital management
and labor and better facilities for the
prompt and reasonable adjustment of
industrial disputes. The need of the
farmers, he said, is an enlarged pow
er of organization whereby the orig
inal producer may profit to a larger
degre by the high prices paid for his
produce by ultimate consumer and at
the same time decrease the cost of
food.
Says Suffrage to Win. '
The nominee said equal suffrage is
coming; that relief from distress is the
right of the men who served in the
war, and urged greater recognition of
the rights of negroes.
- , Morrow Makes Notification.
"This nomination' is tendered you as
the spontaneous wish of your party,"
said Covernor Edwin P. Morrow of
Kentucky, principal speaker at the
ceremonies attending the notification
here today of Governor Calvin Cool
' idge of his nomination as candidate
of the republican part,, for vice-president.
. -
"The west called to the east," Gov
ernor Morrow sad, north, and south
heard the call and the nation made
the answer."
Governor Morrow attacked the dem
ocratic national administration for
what he termed its hesitation, blun
dering and stubbornness and called
the league of nations an attempt to
bind the United States to the bloody
feuds of Europe. . f. .
"It is fitting," - Mr. Morrow . said,
"that in Massachusetts at ,this foun

Rogue River and
Other Pear Areas
Promise Good Year
The- interests of the Oregon Grow-
era' Co-operative association In the ex-
ceptionally prolific peac crop of the
Rogue River Valley has taken J. H.
Frazier, asistant sales manage, of the
growers' association, to Medford.
The Bartlett pear crop in the Rogue
River section is estimated at about
5000 tons this year, the Growers' Co
operative controlling nearly one-half i
of the entire tonnage, acocrding to rec
ords in the Salem offices of the asso
ciation. "
The association reports a very good
pear crop in the Umpqua valley, this
district although being comparatively
small when compared to the southern
.Oregon pear belt, promising a 1920
"yield ot several hundred, tons. As
Bartlett pear culture is not extensive
in other parts of the Willamette val
ley, this section does not enter heav
ily into the pear market, although
several very well conducted and pro
lific pear orchards are found near Sa

The chemlca engine of Amity was
loaded on , a truck and rushed to the
fire and, with the help of the paving
crew, the blaze was kept from the
crude oil and asphalt tanks.
While the loss will reach several

Washington, July 27. The state

Poland and soviet Russia. ' :
' No further request has been maoe
for a formal ' announcement of the

effect it might have upon : Russia in

Demobilization of the Polish army

constitute the first demand of the bol
