Aug. 8. A decision to launch the democratic national convention soon after September I. regardless whether congress »till is in >te»aion then, was reached at a conference today between President Wilson. Vancp C. McCormick, chair man of the democratic national com mittee and Homer Cummings, the committee'» vice chairman The two democratic leaders tiwik luncheon with the president and remained with him four hours, going over mir tcly the campaign plans. The Linn Couptv Fair is a farmers fair It was not nor is not devised as a m«>n«-y «making proposition in any of its features for its proj«wb>r». Indeed, everyone upon whom the burden of making the fair a iuwm depends, not only gives his services freely and without coat, but is at more or I« wh personal expense. And who are the gainers? When we look at the st >ck inter ests in the vicinity of Scio, the answer is obvious. Ten years ago our catlie »tails an«I pig. sheep and goat pens were comparatively empty Now all are filled and additional stalls will have to lie erected to take care of the fine animals we are pro ducing. Ten veara ago. we had but few good dairy cows and none of a pure breed of any variety. Now there are a number of prize herds of Jerseys. Holstein», Durham, etc , and nearly every farmer owns one or more registered animals as start ers for prize herds. The same is true of hogs, sheep, goats anil poultry. While no date w as set for the notification ceremonies, Chairman McCormick said tonight that, if congress remained in session after Septendier I. notification might take place before adjournment. Under such circumstances th«- president will go to Shadow lawn. N. J., for the occasion and return immediately to Washington. WE PROGKu ’¿IV El, Mr».
