J. d. Green of this city was re-elect-
ed clerk of the lower house of the Ten
nessee legislature Monday afternoon.
He was opposed by James Nicely of
Memphis. Mr.. Green won by vote
of 80 to 80.
Mr.. Green served as chief clerk dur
ing the last legislature and his work
gave eminent satisfaction. For a
long time it was thought that he would
have no opposition for reelection, but
about two weeks ago Mr.. Nicely enter
ed the race and the fight was warm
one from the very start, but in the
end Mr.. Green's past efficient service
and general popularity brought down
the plum.
J. D. has large circle Of friends in
this, his home town, who are rejoiced
over his success.
In the election of an assistant clerk
Harry Wilson of Paris was reelected
by a good majority over two popular
opponents. Miss James McEwan was
nominated for engrossing clerk over
Mrs. Virginia Turner and Mrs. Belle

eyes. And he-he was riverman!
Sobbing for air, dripping crimson from
forehead and shoulder, he set himself
and swung from the waist. Like q
pole axed OK Harrigan stopped as be

his eyes few wide in fixed and stupid
stare. Then his legs folded under him
and he swayed Imply down. But that
blast of wrath would not let him lie!
1t raised him and beat him down
again; raised him and beat him down.
By his throat Steve swung him up-by
throat and buckled belt. High over his
head he swung that bulk and dashed
forward from his heels. And Harri-
gan went back to his painting follow
ers. Twisting and spinning, his body
swept Shayne and Fallon to the
ground.
Allison had not stirred, nor putty
faced Wickersham, nor the girl who
stood with hands at breasts. And now
toward them Stephen O'Mara wheeled.
His legs would fail him, and he
steadied them. Blood blinded him, and
he wiped 1t away. Swaying giddily,
he managed somehow a smile.
'Wickersham, have met the man
whom you hired to fight for you" he
called clearly, "and he has earned his
wageI Are you man enough to step
forward now and fight for yourself?"
Wickersham clucked drily in his
throat and lifted an elbow to shield his
face. Shrinking back behind the first
shelter that chance afforded him, he
put the girl between him and his fear.
And then weakness seized upon that
sick and swaying man, but he spoke to
her-to the unspeakable horror in her
eyes.

Congressman Hawley
Travels Over District

As announced upon his arrival in
Oregon the first of the week, Congress
man W. c. Hawley yesterday started
on succession of trips which he ex-
poets to take him very thoroughly over
the first congressional district before
Congress convenes in December. Mr..
Hawley says he will take no vacation
but that many people and localities
have desired conferences with him and
he proposes to place his time at their
disposal while in Oregon and will visit
the several localities as far as time
will permit so that he may personally
inspect conditions and confer with the
people relative to public matters in
which they are interested. For the bal
ance of October he has announced the
following itinerary:
October IS, Thursday, leave Salem

10, Friday, arrive Newport at l p. m.

LOWER FOOD PRICES
PROMISED NEXT YEAR
Retail Grocers Have Prom
ised To Cooperate with
Food Administrator

Washington, Oct. 10. = The public
will get lower food prices by the new
year.
That is the latest food administra-
ton pledge, with the single elf" the
matter of whether the farmers and
retailers cooperate with the govern
ment to check soaring rates.
Retail grocers have already pledged
Food Administrator Hoover that they
will work harmoniously toward price
reduction. Neither, the retail market
man nor the grower is absolutely un-
der government control.
Despite the fact that the many cit
les are on sugar rations, due to a tenn
porarily short supply, this commodity
and others show signs of going down
before the new year. A large reduction
from August prices is shown in flour.
"The corner has now been turned
in high prices,' says Hoover. "The
bean harvest is plentiful; corn prom
ises a forty per cent drop on the big
new crop; beef, pork and poultry feed
will be cheaper and hence meat should
be lower; cold storage in meat lines is
in process of regulation; beef prices
show a tendency toward reduction in
wholesale but this has not reacted yet
in the retail price; lower potato prices
will be warranted this fall; and i'm
portation of certain oils should reduce
soap prices.

Chemical Analysis
of Food Is Given

We may not all be eating according
to chemical analysis of food or ac-
cording to the number of calories each
kind of food may provide. But accord
ing to a pamphlet received at the Sa-
lem library, the calorie proposition is
one of great importance or is likely to
be before the war is over, especially
as we are to have meatless days and
wheatless days and sugarless days and
a few more days of substitution.
The palmer foors are now recommen-
ded and the chemist has figured out
calories about like this: Corn meal is
a more nutritious food than wheat, as
corn meal contains 1920 calories and
wheat 1910, on an average. Oatmeal
vii tatten more than hominy, hence
those wishing to reduce should eat
hominy which contains only s per cent
fat, while oatmeal has 10 per cent fat.
Those interested in knowing just what
should be eaten might cdll at the city
public library for information.

Congressman Hawley
Explains New Pension Law

On October 6, 1917, congress adopted
an amendment to the pension law in
creasing the rate of pension for widow
of an officer or enlisted man of the
army, navy or marine corps of the Unit
ed States who served in the Civil War,
the war with Spain, or the Philippine
insurrection. Congressman Hawley is re-
ceiving a great many inquiries from per-
sons concerning this act and what it is
necessary to do for a claimant to Sc
cure the increase of pension. He is ad-
vising that the commissioner of pensions
will require no applications from those
entitled to the increase provided by the
law but that the commissioner has prom
ised to take prompt action to make
payment of the increased amount and
Mr.. Hawley expects this to be done
at the regular quarterly intervals.
The new law does not include widows
of men in the regular army, navy or
marine corps who did not serve in the
above wars, nor does it include the wild
ows of men of the war of 1912, the
war with Mexico, the Indian wars, or
army nurses. 1t has no limitation as
to age but increases the pensions of
widows of soldiers of the Civil war, the
war with Spain, and the Philippine in
surrection to $25 per month, providing
they are now getting less amount.
Like the act of September s, 1916, Mr..
Hawley regards it as imperfectly drawn
in that it excludes a number of wild
ows equally entitled to recognition with
those benefited by the act. The amend
ment was hastily prepared and adopted
and provides the same relief as is pro-
vided for widows of American soldiers
and sailors who may die as a result
of injury or disease during the present
war with Germany.
