His Statement: "There is no desire on the part of the proponents of municipal ownership to do or say any thing that in any way injure the work of those waging the fight against an increase in water rates before the Public Service Commission. The cold fact remains, however, that the ulti-mate solution lies in condemning and publicly operating the water plant land system.

11. The State Democratic convention was thrown into wild confusion here today when the anti-Smith delegations bolted the convention following the report of the State executive committee's action on contesting delegations yesterday. The report recommended that the anti-Smith delegations from Dallas, Tarrant, Houston, Palo Pinto, Wichita and Bosque counties be denied seats- at the convention. Immediately after Dick Fleming, of Houston, secretary to the State executive committee, read the report, former Governor O. B.

Colquitt, an anti-Smith chieftan, sought recognition from the chair. This was refused him and the anti-Smith delegations jumped to their feet all over the hall yelling "goodbye Tammany." Smith followers, in overwhelming majority, countered with; "throw the Republicans out." Railroad Stocks Open. High. Low. Close.

Matthews Speaker At Rotary Luncheon Is CLUB GOING TO TOWANDA Periodic business cycles can be largely reduced and the panic peaks practically eliminated through the joint action of Rotary and other business organizations, declared James M. Matthews, director of distribution of the Babson Institute, in an address before Rotary in Hotel Sterling this afternoon. "The trend in business" he continued, "is so frequent that it does not shock us severely and many business leaders are already successfully solving the problem. The secular trend -is so slow that it may give us many opportunities to solve the difficulties which it may present.

"The swing, on the other hand, occurs just frequently enough to constitute a distinct and dangerous menace and just infrequently enough to make us forget our former experiences and thus fail to profit by our late misfortunes." In closing, he stated the "average industrial leader is so close to his business that he fails to appreciate its proper relationship in the general economic scheme of things." The club accepted the invitation of the Towanda Rotary club to attend the dinner at that place next Monday night. Harry Montz, president, was chairman. Guests: Robert A.

This report of the little prizefight manager whose name has been magic in Philadelphia sport circles for several years and who was. recently styled by District Attorney John Monaghan "King of the Bootleggers" gained credence today. Hoff is not only broke but deeply in debt, it was said. Easy come Easy go. That is what the friends of Hoff say, and shrug their shoulders.

"Max was a good guy when he had it and never asked any of those he helped to give him a lift afterwards," cne of those who knew his open-handed generosity In past days said today. Now "Boo Boo," as he is called by his followers, faces hard days and lean days. His home in West Philadelphia and his household goods are to go under the sheriff's hammer on September 26. The purses earned by his fighters are being held up so that any. share due "Boo Boo" may be attached and only a few of his old friends are sticking by him.

Last night the star of his boxing stable, Harry Blitman, Southpaw featherweight, was knocked out by Benny Bass, piloted by his bitter rival manager. Phil Glassmon. Blitman's purse of $25,000 also was held up as an attachment has been placed against Hoff's share. The policemen nd officials who used to know "Boo Boo' in the days when the clans gathered and rumors had It there were strange doings in a building across from city hall, are never seen in "Boo Boo's" company now. Uniformed men came and went from the little fight manager's offices but now it is reported he has even been asked to give up his offices.

"Boo Boo' had money in those days and his retainers were many, less than a year ago he was not bothered by city hall. Today Hoff is broke. He walks the corridors of city hall outside the grand jury room a worried man as he waits for another call to go before the jurors. Few greet him but he is the center of Interest still. When Jack Gross.

Hoff's star heavyweight contender, fights Tommy Loughran. light heavyweight king, on October 1 or 3, "Boo Boo's" share of this purse will be held up too, it is said. attended in a body. Delegations from numerous other societies were also present at services. Interment was in the family plot at St.

The talk was interesting and educational and impressed hearers with realization of tho important part books are playing in modern life. "Tho modern text hook is unique of art." Mr. Kilgore said.

"There if no field of human endeavor in which more advancement has been made than in the modern text book." "The modren text book is unique in its making in that it is not the product of one man's mind," he said. In explaining the manner in which modren school text books arc com piled he said that a score or more editors are employed on full time by publishing companies to study the needs of education In the future and that upon their findings are based the forms and contents of books five and ten years from date. The editors only determine the idea and the manuscript is furnished by special writers, he said. Sometimes five and six manuscript makers are consulted before the spirt the editors wish the finished product to contain is grasped. Is considered In the making of the modern text book.

Pages and illustrations are made in such a manner that they do not glare in lamplight. Only the best material obtainable is used and economy is practiced. The product is made as attractive to young mind and as informative as possible after years of research by trained minds whose work is to determine the manner in which children assimilate knowledge most easily.
