REPUBLICANS
GALL COUNTY.
CONVENTION.

Henry county's delegation to
the state Republican convention
will be instructed for d. M. No.
bles for delegate to the National
convention and further than that
1t will not be tied up.
This is a tip given a represen.
tative of The Partisan by e lead
ing local Republican following
the meeting Of the county G. O.
P. committee Saturday.
1t is possible, however, that
the county convention, which
was called for January 19, may
instruct for Ben Hooper for vice
president according to a rumor
now current in county Republi-
can circles.
The local leader who gave the
reporter his tip on the coming
convention also said that there
was very little in the much
talked Beasley-Sanders fight.
He said that he did not believe
there would be much antagon-
ism between the two factions.
According to his view former
Governor Hooper will be one of
the delegates from the state-at-
large to the national convention
and Congressman Sam R. Sells.
of the First district, will be the
new national committeeman,
succeeding Newell Sanders, who
may not stand for reelection.
ra The committee meeting Satnr-
day was a very quiet affair and
continued only a few minutes.
DR.. E. Nj. Culley, county chair
man, called the gathering to or
der and ID. M. Mobiles moved the
adoption of a resolution calling
the county convention for Satur-
day, January 19, for the purpose
of reorganizing the county COM
mittee and electing delegates to
state, district and congressional
conventions. The motion was
seconded by W. 0. Hall and
unanimously adopted.
There is considerable senti-
rnent among local Republicans for
former Governor Hooper for the
vice-presidency. They might pre-

War Stocks Tumble

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The Berlin Bourse yesterday followed the example of the New York Stock Exchange on the re- cetpt of the news of President Will sons note and war babies were of- fere with unaccustomed freedom at falling prices while the socalled peace stocks were strengthened all along the line.
 American exchange, which last week reached the unprecedented high water mark of 574 and which had fallen gradually to 562 as German exchange on New York rose, fell a solid 10 points. Shipping stocks were particularly lively and strong, followed closely by potash, cement and bank stocks.

EARLY RAILROAD PLIERS.
When the Threat of Twelve Miles Il

When the Threat of Twelve Miles n
 Hour Was Called Nonsense.
 When the first passenger railroad ever built was opened in England in 1895 the train travelled from one end of the line to the other, a; distance of twelve miles, in two hours. And Wood, one of the best known writers on the subject of railroads at that day, wrote as follows: ...rr4 4...r sg $
 Nothing can do more harm to the adoption of railways than. the pr0mul- gation of such nonsense as that we shall see locomotives travelling at the rate of twelve miles an hour"
 Today, with locomotives travelling at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour, one can look at Woods warning with s feeling of amusement. -4s.:
 In 1929 locomotive was introduced in this country; and in the following year Peter Cooper experimented with locomotive on the B. and o. railroad. The flues of the boiler were made from gun barrels. The boiler was about the size of four barrel Cooper related with considerable sat isfaction how on the trial trip of this wonderful engine he passed a gray horse attached to a wagon.-New York World a>i.-

Cases of Epidemic Di seasesin German
 Army Disappearing

The official figures have been pub lished in regard to the treatment of the sick and wounded in the military hospitals of the entire home zone throughout Germany. They show that 9O.2 per cent of the men became fit for duty again; IA per cent. died; S.4 per cent. were left unfit for mili- tary service or were dismissed from the ranks. In consequence of the hygienic measures enforced, especi- ally the protecting vaccinations, the number of cases of epidemic diseases in the armies has declined almost to the vanishing point. These have al- ways been scattered cases and the military measures have never been disturbed by epidenics.
 The losses in the medical force of the German army and navy accord ing the first 600 casualty lists, have been as follows: Fallen, S42; died of disease, 186; severely wounded, 176; slightly wounded, 553; taken prisoner, 156;5 missing, 87.
 For some time the profession in Berlin and also at number of other points in Germany has been collect ing funds to assist, after the war, physicians who left their practice to serve with the forces. The Berlin committee has collected to date 511,- OO2 marks, which with the interest amounts now to a total of 524,1S9 marks, over $131, ,000, which is now at the disposal of the Kuratorium.
 Corresponding to the general in- crease in the cost of living, the phy- sicians in Berlin have also raised their fees. For office consultation they now ask at least 3 marks; for a day visit at the house, at least 4 marks and when the call is urgent or the summons is not made until after the close of office hours. For consultations and visits between 9 D. m. and 8 a. m. at least double the above. GA mark is about equivalent to our quarter.) For other measures called for in medical practice there is a corresponding rise. Cash pay ments are required for night visits, death and other certificates.

Speculation Will Be Forestalled By
 British Officials

The problem of food supply in Eng land has become a difficult though not not a serious one. The causes are shortage of shipping for the carrying of food-due partly to the use of large proportion of our ships for war purposes, and in less degree to de-
 struction of allied as well as neutral shipping by submarines-and the shortage of agricultural labor, due to enlistment in the army. The govern ment has at last resolved to take dras- tic action. One source of trouble is that not even high prices, more than double those existing before the war, have had much effect in lifting con- sumption, because wages determined to limit the luxurious consumption of sugar in the form of sweets and con- fectionery. The potato crop is poor and shortage is threatened of this imported food, of which the average consumption is one-half pound day per head of the population. Every thing Is being done to encourage the importation and cultivation of pota- toes The appointment of one man to control the food supply of the coun- try is foreshadowed. Waste of food in any manner will be made penal Thus the destruction of food because the owner is not satisfied with the price offered will not be allowed. The manner in which food is to be used will be prescribed. Thus, as there is a shortage of milk, the government will not allow whole milk to be used to feed pigs. In spite of a recent crusade in the press against the use of white flour, from which many of the nutritious ingredients of wheat have been separated, this is still the main article from which bread is made. The government will prohibit the mill ing of this flour in future. Wheat now furnishes only 70 per cent. of this four. In future the minimum yield must be 8.5 per cent more (pro- ducing what is called "straig ght bread hour'D. This will have the double advantage of furnishing a more nutri- tious flour and also of increasing the food supply of the country. It is es- timated that the result will be 36O.- O0O,00O more quartern 1oaves than be- fore. Food tickets are mentioned as a possibility; the government is asking for powers to issue them. They will insure that people cannot consume unnecessary food because they have the money to buy it. Cornering off the market will be prohibited. Maxi mum prices will be fixed for foods which are controlled by the govern ment. Care will be taken not to check by this the importation of foods into the country.-Journal A. M. A.

China's Dried Persimmons.

China has developed seedless per simmon of exquisite flavor for drying purposes. The dried persimmon is said to resemble a dried fig in looks and taste and is heavily coated with a layer of fine grape sugar. When the fruit is ripe, but before it begins to soften, the peeling is stripped off, and the fruit is hung on sticks to dry in the sun and wind. The sticks used are strips of bamboo pierced through the center of the persimmon. Several weeks are devoted to the drying proc ess, after which the persimmons are covered with mating and allowed to cure, during which process the grape sugar is formed.
