Tri-State Press CLEANLINESS is next to Godliness, may- be, and both TMe combined in baptism, but Father Divine in the Texhoma Times tells of ft farmer who apparently got out of patience with all such solngs-on. He posted, says the Times, tills notice: "Positively there will be no irore baptizing on my pasture. Twice here in the last two months my gate has been left open by Chris- tian people, and before I chase my heifers all over the country again, all the sinners can go to hell." WHICH IS WHERE some of the supposed friends of the editor of the Lockney Beacon can go, after incidents such as this: "Someone Is always defaming our charac- ter. Just this week a supposed friend of ours asked us if we knew the difference be- tween a sick man and a newspaper publisher. Of course we bit and he answered, 'A sick man lies on one side of the sheet and a news- paperman lies on both sides of the It ain't so." LIES IN NEWSPAPERS often amount to nothing.

Anyway, the Dalhart Texan left a zero off recently, and Ed Bishop finds the readers pleased about it: "Well, well, the Texan did its part to make It a merry July 4th for our readers. We put the Yanks within 70 miles of Tokyo! The fact that we left a zero off the figures made it Just right." TRAGEDY due to a mistake in the Clovis- News-Journal is neatly averted by Kathryn Bomar, who writes thus in Rural Rumors: "Bellview Club ladies, we arc sorry! A note has Just reached our desk stating that you girls assisted in furnishing the cakes and needlework at the Rosedale Bond Rally last Friday night, and the News-Journal had credited the Hollene Club with all the work. The Hollene Busy Bee Club writes us to the effect that 'The Bellview Club ladies always have been so splendid to work with and we would like for them to be Well, at any rate, if the Bellview Club had been mentioned in the first story, as it should have been, the members never would have gotten this lovely compliment from the Hollene girls. So all's well that ends well." 1r ENDED WELL ENOUGH, but SO did Grandpa's peach seed barrage, as told by the Wheeler Times War Time Reporter: "I never will forget Grandpa telling about the big drouth that happened down In his country one time. He said it got so hot that peaches exploded on the trees and peach seed was whistling through the air like bullets.

And he said he was behind the door dodging peach seed and a trying to figure what to do when he looked down in the valley and seen a cyr'one coming tearing down houses and uprooting trees. So he spit on his hands and rushed out to meet it; quick as a flash he grabbed it by the tail and un- twisted it and then tied it to a fence post, to shade his peach orchard." THAT'S SOLVING A PROBLEM, sure enough. Grandmother had a horsehair sofa problem (not grandfather), and she solved it just about as neatly, if one can believe the Apostle of the Temple of Truth of the Donley County Leader: "An Amarillo lady who collects antiques explained that our grandmothers wore six petticoats at one time simply because the furniture was stuffed with horse hair. She may have something there." THERE'S A SUN intended in this item from the Carlsbad Current-Argus: "She's not petrified: Patricia Branch from the Petrified Forest has become a guide at the Carlsbad Caverns." SOME. THINGS are better forgotten, in- eluding some songs, but Douglas Meador, who writes Trail Dust in the Matador Trib- une, has trouble forgetting: "Splashing against the worn shore tf memory, I hear broken bits of an old song that had brief popularity almost a quarter of r.

century ago. I can not collect the words; the title seems vaguely true but out of temjra with the hurrying thunder of war. It was: I didn't raise my boy to be a THOSE SOLDIERS have some, fun, though. This is from Sidewalk Slim in the Melrose News: "Things that happen, on the battlefroiils are 'military but some leak out, as the time a plane crew baled out and one member, a light fellow, was drifting slowly down, and the crew's heaviest member passed him. The big fellow looked up as he went by and yelled: 'Hell, what are you going up jii IT LOOKED like the fellow was of the balloon clotli that Jack Jackson jSof the Slaton Blatonite speaks of in this j'-snuib: "A notation from A.

July 16-- All eyes will be on the South and border states when the Democratic National Convention meets in Chicago this week.

Though the renominatlon of President Franklin D. Roosevelt for a fourth term Is as certain as any political move can be, the South may well determine who his running mate will be. Even more will be the dnv.e at the convention to smooth out the Southern revolt, sparked by Texas, in an ef- fort to assure another four-year term for President Roosevelt. Actually, the threat by Texas, Mississippi and several other Southern states to cast their electoral votes against the convention nominee unless the convention adopts certain resolutions, cannot directly be handled at the convention. however, believe such a move would achieve no real results and might even make matters worse.

Whether the nomination of a Texan as running mate to Roosevelt would end the re- volt In the Lone Star State is a matter of debate. Speaker Sam Rayburn, who has been mentioned most frequently as a possible vice presidential candidate, has been quietly at work trying to iron out the Texas break, but failed. Unless he can deliver the Texas electoral votes tc the regular Democratic tlclwt next fall, his chances of getting the Thousands of Soldiers on Leave Volunteering To Fill War Jobs July 16 W')-- of some Thousands of soldiers on leave arc!

Jones, lan 3, ld the Northern California area the DEFINITE CONCERN There is not a chance in one hundred that the convention will restore the two-thirds ruio and endorse the ban against negro vot- ing in the South, as demanded already by Texas and Mississippi. Thus, the conditions set forth for support of the nominee by the electors of the two states will not be fulfilled. Nevertheless, there is no doubt but what efforts will be made at the convention to apprise the Southern groups in the hope that the threat will never be carried out. First Inclination of Democratic party lead- ers was to belittle the moves made by the Lone Star and Mississippi conventions. That earlier feeling, however, has now grown to definite concern.

There are leaders in the party who believe that the loss of the Texas, Mississippi and possibly South Carolina elec- toral votes by Roosevelt could cost him the election. Efforts to quell the revolt have so far failed. It is no secret that some of the out- standing men of the party have tried to bring the revolters back into the fold, at least so far as Roosevelt himself is concerned. COMPROMISE ON SEATING. Just what the leaders can offer in the way of appeasement remains uncertain in ad- vance of the convention.

Some Texsms and Misslssippians familiar with the situation In their states say that nothing can be done to sway the electors who have pledged them- selves to vote against the convention nominee short of meeting all of the conditions laid down by the state conclaves. There have been reports that the creden- tials committee will offer the two Texas dele- gations a compromise seating arrangement, which might appease the regular pledged against Roosevelt. Texans in Washington, who has also been mentioned frequently as the running mate for Roosevelt, took issue with the plsn to prevent Texas Democratic voU rs from voting for the convention nomi- nee on the grounds that Texans should play the game- as It has been for the past century, even if technical rules permit it to be played as the electors named at the con- vention plan. What results these two Texas leaders have secured may be disclosed at the convention, when both sides in the state controversy ap- pear together again for the first time. BARKLEY HAS EDGE Whether a Texan gets the vice preslden-l tlal nomination or not, qualified observers in Washington believe that the place will go to a man either from the South or one of the border states.

Most of them have counted Vice President Henry A. Wallace out of the picture irrespective of what occurs before the convention meets. A good possioility is Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky. De- spite his break with President Roosevelt over the tax bill last spring, Barkley has been on good terms with the chief executive.

At the same time, he does not carry the New Deal stigma that Wallace has, and would be far more acceptable to the South than the lowan. Another border state candidate who is ex- pected to be in the running is 'Sen. Harry S. Truman of Missouri. His independence of the White House has drawn him much conserva- tive strength.

At the same time, he is on fairly friendly terms with the President and his close associates. Others from the South and Southwest who have been mentioned include Gov. J. Melville Broughton of North Carolina, War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, Gov.

Prentice Cooper of Tennessee and Gov. Robert S. Kerr of Okla- homa. The once Solid South, which today ap- pears somewhat unsolid. may reap some divi- dends after all from its threat of insolidlty.

BELL Washington Bureau of The News WASHINGTON, July 16--In the race be- tween the two major political parties lor the women's vote in the November elec- tions, the Democrats plan to move in ahead of their opponents in handing top honors to lady politicians at the national conven- tion in Chicago this week. The Democrats claim more "firsts" than you can count on one hand, despite Repub- lican leaders giving Rep. Clare Booth Luce credit for putting women in the national eye as far as major politics are concerned. Democratic committee officials point out that when the Republicans termed Mrs. Luce the first woman to make a major speech to a national convention, they meant a national Republican convention.

Mrs. Dorothy Mc- Allister of Michigan spoke to the Democratic convention four years ago. POLITICAL FIRSTS North Carolina's Sarah Avery Tillett was the first woman assistant chairman of a national political party, although the Re- publicans recently followed their opponents' example by naming Miss Marion Martin of Maine to the same rank in their party. Dorothy Vredenburgh, 27-year-old wife of an Alabama lumber baron, is secretary of the Democratic national committee. This is a post held before by no other woman in either party.

Mrs. Tillett and Mrs. Vredenburgh are both temporary officers of the convention, assistant chairman and secretary respectively. This is another political first. At their recent convention in Chicago, the Republicans gave women equal rights repre- sentation with men on the resolutions com- mittee which drafted the party platform.

Again the Democrats will point out that the Republicans mean within their own party when they call this a "first." The Democrats did it in 1940. And the Democrats are taking another step this week, by giving women equal rep- resentation on all committees, which the Republicans did not do when they met In June. Six women have posts on the all-im- portnrtt executive committee which runs the convention, and 12 will help write Hie party's platform as members of the resolutions com- mittee. This subcommittee boasts Rep. Mary T.

Norton of New Jersey as co-chairman, nn honor no woman has ever held before in any party. jvir: Norton has a few "firsts'' herself-- first woman elected by the party to Con- gress, 20 years ago; only woman chairman of a House committee, the committee on labor; and first member of Congress to offer a resolution repealing the Eighteenth (pro- hibition) Amendment. She has long been an ardent crusader for women's rights. Among other promient women on the important resolutions subcommittee is the lady who has supervision of all of Uncle Sam's money-making activities, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the mint.

She is the wife of a former governor of Wyoming. Another Is Mrs, W. T. Host, whom Nortft Carolinians love for the tremendous amount of social work she did in the stark days the depression as their commissioner of pub-! lie welfare, i Prom the state with the largest electoral vote comes Miss Doris I. Byrne, who has! held many important political posts In New I York.

From California comes Mrs. Julia! Porter to take her place on the She is past president of the San Francisco! League, of Women Voters and a vice-chair- man of the state's Democratic committee. The seven other ladies' on this committee represent as many states. They are Mrs. Fred M.

Vinson, wife of the economic stabi- lizer and Selegate from Kentucky; Mrs. Scott Stewart, vice-chairman of -the Utah state! committee; Mrs. Albert E. Hill, chairman of the women's division of the Tennessee Democratic committee and member of the committee which drafted Nashville's cityi Charles G. Ryan, 16 years na- tional cpmmitteewoman from Nebraska; Mrs.

Sue Ruble, vice-chairman of the Oklahoma committee; and Mrs. Mildred R. Jaster, na- tional committeewoman from Ohio. ACCENT ON GLAMOR In spite of Clare Luce's showing at the Republican convention, the party backing, Tom pewey has no edge on glamor. Former Broadway star Helen Gahagan's role as speaker at this week's convention will give the congresswoman from Connecticut some strong competition.

And the presence of 27-year-old Dorothy Vredenburgh, who is considered as smart as she is beautiful, will be an effort to answer the Republican party's newly-begotten "accent on youth." Recently Mrs. TUlett announced a new convention idea, which will be handled en- tirely by women. This is the "campaign school." It will consist of two morning ses- sions next week when promient party women will address party members on the best methods for women organizers to arouse feminine interest in politics and to get out! tlie feminine vote. i In addition to her major campaign speech! to the convention, Mrs. Tillett will speak to the School." Another speaJcer will the lady who campaigned from a stepladderj on Wall Street during the 3940 campaign, Mrs.

Jean Polletti. Her husband, LI: Col. Charles Poletti, is now governor of Rome for the Allied occupying forces. Also speaking will be Louisiana's singing campaigner, Mrs. Roland B.

Howell; Miss Betty Ooodwin, whom the Democrats term their "secret weapon" because of her professional radio background, as well as many others.
