/ hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the nomination of
Sheriff on the Republican ticket at
the primary election to be held
September ed. Being born in
Salem city IS years ago, most of
the people of Salem city are ac-
quainted with my past record as I
have been before the public in the
Real Estate and Insurance bust
ness and been personally interested
in the work of lodge circles of var
ious lodges of Salem county for the
past Is years.
Being under no obligations to
any faction of men it will be my
aim to give the citizens of this
county the best service at my COM
mand. l stand for what is just
and right in all matters affecting
the County, its people and its in
ternal affairs, and if I am elected
Sheriff the office will be conduted
on a high standard with strict com
pliance with the law and all of
which details personally looked af-
ter by me.
I was elected a city assessor of
Salem at the election of 1910. The
policy l pursued at that time is the
same that / am actuated at the
present-that is to serve the people
at every and all times and to have
no other master than the people
that put me in office. They hon
ored me by a reelection in 1914
and my election was confirmed by
an unanimou vote of the Com
mon Council of Salem. Therefore,
l feel that it is no more than my
proper right and due to ask the
support of all Republicans at the
coming primary for the high office
/ seek.

Washington.-The two-battleship
program will be continued at the COM
ing session of Congress, President
Wilson says. No change is contem-
plated in the plans outlined last year
the President said, and he added that
there would be no increase in the
naval estimates.
The Presidents statement was an
answer to predictions of an increased
naval building program, result of
lessons drawn from the European up
heaval made by Representative Rob
erts of Massachusetts, a member of
the naval affairs subcommittee. That
committee soon will begin work on the
Appropriation Bill and Congress will
have at least four more of its big
supply measures ready for action soon
after the beginning of the December
session.

AHUNT FOR POTASH
War Decreases World Supply
of Precious Stuff and X. u.
Searches for More.
LOOKING I'M LIKELY SPOTS
Prof. Whitaker Says They've Had No
Encouragement Yet, but Hope to
Find Old Sea Bed.

The European war has decreased
materially the worlds output of pot
ash, and as a consequence the United
States government is redoubling it's
efforts to find a potash bed on this
side of the Atlantic, according to a
statement made by Prof. w. A. Whit
aker, director of the state chemical
research at the University of Kansas
Practically the entire world out
put Of potash comes from Germany
said Professor Whitaker. 1T is an
absolute necessity in all fertilizers.
We have imported enormous quanti-
ties from Germany and are depend
ent upon that country for it.
Potash is deposited by an evap-
Grating sea. The United States gov
eminent has carried on a great
search for such bed, and is inves-
tigating every likely location. The
University of Kansas has helped in
that investigation by making search
in Kansas. Our search is still going
on, and while there is as yet no en-
couragement, we hope to find a potash
bed in some Of the old evaporated sea
beds known to have been formed here
many years ago."
The price of potash is increasing
rapidly. and if the war does not cease
before long, it is the belief of Pro-
fessor Whitaker, it will be practically
impossible to obtain this fertilizer.

GERMS In SERUM
Hog Cholera Virus Spreads the
Foot and Mouth Disease
Over the Country.
2 CHICAGO PLANTS CLOSED
Federal Authorities Condemn $4,000
Worth of Remedy-Embargo on
Canadian Live took.

Chicago--Hog cholera virus manu-
featured at the Union stock yards has
been found to be infected with germs
of the foot and mouth disease and
two plants making the remedy have
been closed by DR.. Samuel E. Ben
nett, chief of the federal inspectors in
the district. All the virus on hand,
worth about $4,000, was condemned.
Seventy-five inspectors were detailed
to visit all farms to which the virus
has been shipped since October l.
Suspicion that the serum was in
fected was aroused when the hoof and
mouth disease broke out in localities
where no cattle, sheep or hogs had
been shipped from the Union stock
yards. Hogs were attacked in these
localities and it was learned that they
had been treated with virus for chol-
era. A meteorological examination of
the virus proved the infection.
More than 100 infected hogs we're
killed and inspectors are working
long hours daily visiting farmers who
have purchased virus within the last
five weeks.
May Kill BIooded Stock.
Fifty-four head of the 500 pedigreed
dairy cattle exhibited at the National

average value of about $4,000. In re-

vised ''in the interest of the country at
large" the slaughter of these blooded
animals but so far has not issued an
order to that effect.
Owners of the prize herds have

Rhode Island and to bar cattle ship
ments from Canada. Thirteen states
are now under quarantine.
While no cases of the disease have
been found in Canada, the quarantine
against the dominion is to prevent the
United States. 1t will stop shipments
of cattle into the United States valued
at approximately sSO,OOO,OOo year.
