Fascist Italy nas oeen accused of aiding the Spanish rebels, and it is asserted a number of Italian bombing planes were sent to them in Morocco. Tlie leftist French government naturally is in sympathy with the Madrid government and Frenchmen, unarmed, have been given permission to cross the border to aid in putting down the rebellion. German and Russian sympathies, also, are ranged on opposite sides, and all this caused fears that a general war might result. France called on all other nations to preserve neutrality, and Spain warned Italy and Germany to keep hands off. Day by day the struggle in Spain became bloodier and more ruthless. Summary executions of prisoners were common on both sides and these deaths were probably as numerous as those in battle. The government planes showered bombs on the rebel strongholds, virtually destroying many towns; and the Fascist bombers engaged in desperate fights with loyal warships. Republicans are a candidate for governor at their party convention in September, and Col. Theodore Roosevelt has said in a letter that was made public that he is willing to ac- cept that honor if tlie party so de- sires. i' Colonel Roosevelt, ; , now years forty-eigh- old, ta t was the can-d.dat- e Republican for governor in 1924 and was Co1- - Roosevelt by Alfred E.

Kansas Republicans renominated Senator Arthur Capper, and the Democrats picked Omar Ketchum of Topeka. In Kentucky the Democrats renominated Seanator M. M. Logan, whose Republican opponent in November will be Robert. H. Lucas. Marion A. Zioneheck, tlie eccentric congressman from Seattle, reconsidered his decision to retire and announced that, at the request of his mother, he would be a candidate to succeed himself, to show tlie people that I am neither crazy nor foolish. Five other Democrats and seven Republicans seek seat.

Jesse Owens of Ohio State university lead his mates in this victorious march, winning three championships, in runs and the and the broad jump. In the longer dash he lowered the world and Olympic marks. Ken Carpenter of California won the discus throw with a new Olympic record of 50.48 meters, and Gordon Dunn, also of California, was second. Earl Meadows of Texas was first in the pole vault with a new Olympic mark; and points were won by various other American athletes. Among the women contestants Helen Stephens of Missouri distinguished herself by breaking the world record in two heats of the dash.

Possibly the best way to "obtain furs humanely obtained that can be w'orn with a clear conscience is to buy and wear some of the innumerable furs, from rugged bears to silky chinchilla, made from the skins of rabbits that are nourished in little hutches in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and fed with rabbit hay, tender young alfalfa, grown on the Mojave desert, a good deal of it on a ranch owned and operated by this writer. When you buy furs, no matter what kind, with a rabbit skin foundation, you may be sure that the animal suffered very little, if at all, and when you buy that fur you also buy honest American alfalfa, which is a vegetarian product. d YORK NEW nominate one-thir- d self-respe- Scenes and Persons in the Current DESPERATE 200-met- 100-met- VOLUNTARY cut of $25,861,936 in the debts of 33,906 "distressed farmers was reported by A administration. the Resettlement The debts, it said, were scaled down by creditors, through the work of voluntary farm debt committees in bringing farmers and their creditors "together in a neutral atmosphere" during tlie ten months ended June 30.

That gives some idea of the size of his gifts. Law-rence- Some Americans will agree that is a good thing to have men of unusual ability accumulate wealth and use it thus generously and wisely.
