DEMAND INCREASED
 U-BOAT ACTIVITY
Kreutz Zeitung and Prof. SChaefer
 Favor Enlarging Their Scope

Berlin, July 14, via LOndon-The agitation in favor of unrestricted sub marine warfare continues to be con- ducted energetically by the press of the extreme right. The Kreuz Zeitung which is increasingly active in the propaganda of this sort, publishes an article which is plainly not only an editorial statement of the newspapers S view but at the same time must be taken as manifesto of the conserva- tive party. The article demands that the German government in respect to the war of submarines against com- merce make use of the freedom of the decision on which it reserved for itself in the note of May and which has actually been conceded in a manner which amounts to a direct insult by America's answer and by our enemies abrOgating the declaration of Lon- don"
 The article declares that the cam paign proposed is "a proper and in dispensable means for the rapid and victorious ending of the war"
 The Kreuz Zeitung says that 1t is a position not dictated by the necessity of proclaiimng confidence or lack of confidence in the leading statesmen, HUT IS It d matter or personal attack from any motive whatever and adds:
 Tt is simply a case of making a de- cislon, which will decide the outcome of the war. It is case of victory and defeat, a case of Germany's future To take a stand concerning these matters is simply our right and duty, which we must fulfil and shall fulfil, whatever motives are ascribed to us.
 Professor Dietrich Schaefer of Ber- lin university also gives notice in the press with reference to the German national cOmmittee' recently organ ized under the presidency of Prince von Wedel, that tho independent "committee for a German peace' was organized under his presidency a year ago and that this organization will the same freedom of action for itself as was granted to Prince von Wedels body.

MT. and Mrs. John F. Peterson Sur

Mr. and Mrs. John P. Peterson of " Pleasant street were surprised last evening by about fifty of their friends, it being the twentieth anniversary of their wedding. The couple were pre- scented during the evening with a handsome set of dining room chairs. lawn party had been planned but the indictment weather forced the wis., itors to conf1ne their activities to the interior.
 MT. Peterson, who is the leader of the Arpi SeXtette, was led to believe that the evening was to be spent by a rehearsal and to say he was sur prised would be putting it mildly. The sextette arrived but brought with who showered them with congratula- tions.
 Rev. s. G. Ohman officiated at the marriage twenty years ago and four children have blessed the union, two of them being boys and two girls. Mr. Peterson is foreman at the COrbin Screw division of the American Hard ware Corporation and is a member of the Odd Fellows, Svea Social club, Ve- ga society and the Hundred Mems so- ciety.

During the evening musical numbers were furnished by the Arpi SeXtette and a collation. was served.

HOUSE BURNED TO GROUND.
North & Judd Employe Loses Home
 as He Works to Pay for It.

While John Binkofski, employed at the North & Judd Manufacturing s company, was hard at work yesterday earning money with which to pay TOT his little home in Newington the lace caught fire and burned to the ground. The loss was about S1,OOO, covered by insurance.
 The building was one-story affair on the New Britain trolley line, just west of the Wilson station. Mrs Binkofsk was in the yard hanging up some clothes when she discovered the fire. It is somewhat unusual that this is the third house within short time that has been destroyed by fire in this locality.
 Friends tried to get MT. Binkofski a, the factory by telephone, but were unsuccessful. Finally Rev. Herbert Nacey came to New Britain in an au- tomobile and took the excited man back to NeWingtOn.

CHILDREN'S OUTING.
Stanley Quarter Will Be Scene of
 Youngsters Picnic.

Next week, on Wednesday after noon, the health department nurses will take all city children that they come in contact with during the year on an outing and picnic at the Stan ley Quarter park. Last summer the children were given a treat of the same kind and to say that they will be pleased at another will hardly ex- press their feelings.
 As at other affairs of this kind the people in charge will have to depend on the kindness of the public for automobiles and refreshments. If those that are willing to loan their cars will notify the health depart ment a great deal of trouble and ex- tra work will be saved those in charge. At least ten cars will be needed but everything depends on the of children attending. All contributions of refreshments may be left at the department office any time before next Wednesday afternoon.

A GOOD WOMAN DEAD.

Mrs. Bette Childress, wife of j.
G. Childress, died at her home
near Way January 20, of neuralgia
Of the heart, aged 62 years. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. w. w. Henley of Murray
KY her former pastor, and inter-
ment was in Flatwoods Cemetery
Friday. She is survived by her
husband and eight children and
brother, J. F. McKelveyIand half
brother, j. M. Wilson.
Mrs. Childress was an every day
Christian. She was q member OF
the M. E. Church, South, and the
identifying influences of a pure,
heartfelt religion radiated through
life and character as spotless,
beautiful and helpful as was ever
possessed by any woman who wor-
SHIPPED at the feet of the meek and
lowly Nazarene.
Her funeral was pathetic beyond
expression, for not one, as the last
goodbyes were said, but will feel a
loss has been sustained both in the
church and in the home for which
there is no compensation. May
time bring it's resignation, and may
the shores of eternity that receives
her soul surround it with halo of
perpetual glory as it radiates from
the throne of the blessed Master.

"A. G. MCDANIEL.

Under the proper heading in this
issue of The Chronicle appears the
announcement of A. G.. Mcdaniel,
who is a candidate for County
Trustee. subject to the action of
the Democratic party.
Mr.. Mcdaniel has been SO we'll
known in the official life of Benton
County that word from us seems
hardly necessary. Nobody ques-
tons his honesty aud capability,
hence we can put his name before
thepublic through our columns on
the presumption that il nominated
and elected the affairs of our
county, so far as the office of
Trustee is concerned, will be con-
Quoted in the best interest of the
people.
The people of Benton County
have already tried Mr.. Mcdaniel
in an official capacity and have not
found him wanting in any of those
essentials which should commend
him to their further favorable
consideration.

j. G. PARKER.

j. G. Parker, our genial Sheriff,
is naturally a candidate for re-
election, and, being a simon-pure
Democrat, willingly submits his
claims to the action of his party.
Everybody is aware of the fact
that Mr.. Parker has made from the
first and is continuing to make one
of the best officials Benton County
ever had. He is prompt, steady,
a sober citizen, a Christian gentle
man, attends closely to the business
of his Office, extending every pos
sible courtesy and rendering will
ling service to the people.
He asks your continued support
with the promise to keep right on
making a good and faithful public
servant so long as the people may
see fit to retain him in their en-
ploy. In the event he fails to see
each voter in person, Mr.. Parker
asks that you consider your vote
and influence is most earnestly
solicited.

ABOUT LIGHTS.

1t seems that some members of
the City Council are inclined to
take The Chronicle to task be-
cause we gently prodded them for
their seeming lack of progressive
ness in the matter of lighting the
town. One of them Wanted to
know what the moon had to do
with it. Just this, bud; the moon
lights the ENTIRE town, and that's
exactly wnat We are driving at
light the entire town. We don't
mean by this that light should
be put at the home of every free
holder (including the editor), but
that sufficient number of lights
be provided to give a modicum of
light in every part of town.
In the latter part of the nineties
Camden was provided with exactly
10 lights, which was far short OF
the actual requirements. In 1916
we are to have, as we understand
it, exactly twenty lights! Camden
has more than doubled in popula-
ton are area and we are to have
Just one light more than we had
seventeen years ago! This is the
decree of Camden's Council.
The Council is frequently the
butt of unnecessary criticism, but
The Chronicle has not shared in it.
However. we thiuk Camden is en-
titled to more lights. Besides, the
young men who are putting I'D the
lighting plant are going to great
deal of expense to furnish lights,
and they deserve better support
and encouragement.

NECESSAR|ES Of LIFE
FAST BECOMING LUXUR|Es

The cost of living is showing more
signs of kicking over the traces.
Prices of staple food stuffs is on the
upgrade and all signs indicate the
highest yet reached. This week Mar
qius wheat was worth SLIGO or better
in Orofino, and the best grade of soft
wheat flour was $8.75 the barrel. In
dications points to sharp increases in
flour prices, probably up to $l2 per
barrel. People need not be surprised
if flour goes to So or 49, 25 per sack in
Orofino before the coming harvest.
When the mills go to grinding the
1916 wheat. purchased at the war
prices, -four will take on a hue that
will look like gold dust. Canned
staples, like corn, advanced to SO. 60
Wednesday, and bid fair to climb up
the ladder two or three rounds before
Christmas. Local stores have some of
the old stocks, purchased before
prices jumped, ard when this supply
is exhausted and must be replaced
with new goods, the local quotations
must correspond to wholesale markets.
Canned corn will soon be retailing at
20 cents per can for the better grades,
tomatoes the same, while bread will
jump to fifteen cents a loaf, or the
size Of the loaf be reduced so mater
tally as to correspond with the price
of flour. Rice and honey are two
notable exceptions to the rule. neith-
er having yet advanced, and should
now become extremely popular, being
top notch foods. Rice particularly
ought to find its way onto the table
of every family, being economical and
containing the maximum amount of
food value. Corn meal is another
food that has not yet climbed too
high for the poor family's daily ra-
tion, and should be substituted for the
more expensive foods. Popcorn and
milk for the children will be relished
and yet afford great food values. The
situation is serious. People, espec-
tally poor families, must eat to live
rather than live to eat. Less atten-
tion must be paid to satisfying the
taste and more attention given to
feeding the body. Men do this with
their autos. They study oils and gas
and material values. The human
machine, in times of food famines.
or when prices advance where the food
supply becomes serious, ought to be
given as much consideration as one
would give F. rd car.
