Twenty thousand voters signed the club rolls in the state in 1916 with a cross, not being able to sign their names. There are also thousands of others who cannot read and write, and it is the aim of the illiterate department to teach all of these to at least write their names during this summer, and if possible luring the week of July 411. "Write-Your-Name Classes" and "Lay by Classes" are to be formed in every county in the state this summer, with the hope of educating many illiterates. These classes will be formed especially during the month of August, when teachers are available, and the teachers are paid for their services by the state. Eighteen counties - have already made plans for intensive campaigns against illiteracy during the month of August. Last year . 5,000 adults were enrolled in the "Lay By Classes" in the state. GOMPERS IS HEARD BY RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE San Francisco.-?June 29.?The Republican party's platform at Chicago was so "lacking in principles" that organized labor "must find exnvoccirm rvf w'.at it stands for else w tvhere," Samuel Gompers, president i>f the American Federation of Labor, said Tuesday when he appeared before the Democratic resolutions committee to urge the adoption of the "Montreal convention plank" in the Democratic platform. "The enemies of organized labor are engaged in the manufacture of libel and resentment," Gompers said. "The records of Congress reveal the slimy trail of slander and misrepresentation of the' Manufacturers' Association," Gompers charged. "We come not in a spirit of defiance," Gompers added. "Those who are opposed to the labor movement are so from selfish motives of self aggrandizement? you can not placate them.

GERMANS CUT PRICEk AC IT C A DM*/ Pi A PFS STORES "OUT OF BOUNDS" Coblenz, June 28.?The German merchants in the area along the Rhine occupied by the Americans have held a meeting and decided to reduce their prices 20 per cent, this 'action coming after the army had ; placed twenty-eight stores in the ! district "off limits" for American [ i soldiers, because of profiteering by 1 the proprietors.

THORNHIL1 DURING the past ten years the automobile, the manure and lime spreader occupied the I time of many wagon makers. But Thornhill stuck to ihe wagon and to the farmer trade. Over rough mountain roads, through swamps, at logging'camps, these wagcr.s did duty daily. Thus the fame of the Thornhill spread, and the demand grew steadily greater. T r ?

So it grows sturdy and strong? close-grained and tough?well ri:;h unhiwiLakle. It has nearly twice the strength cf h;c!:ory that grows in softer ground, which is usually brittlebrash. The white oak, growing under similar conditions, develops a similar toughness. The oak and hickory arc dried outdoors under shelter and kept there from three to five years? so piled that the air can circulate freely.

Years ago they attracted to their plant the masters of wagon building. They asked these men for improvements, and the men who made them received their just reward.
