Bacon Is Not Deserving
Of the Seat In Congress
That Belongs To Beakes

In the press Of wartime events, not
efficient attention has been directed 20
the fight for a square deal which sup
porters of Samuel w. Beakes, officially
defeated candidate for congress from the
second Michigan district, are making be-
fore the house.
There can be no doubt that the certlf-
cation Of Mark NJ. Bacon to congress in
face of the clear Beakes majority devel-
oped in the count Of the ballots. consti-
tutes one Of the most brazen deals in
Michigans none too blameless political
history.
The Beakes men seem to have the
goods on Mr.. Bacon and his supporters.
who thus far have contented themselves
with vituperation of their opponents and
have produced little or no evidence in sup
port of their claims.
A good deal of the Baconian wrath has
descended upon the head OF Edward
Frensdorf, of Hudson. who has done more
perhaps than any other man TO keep the
Beakes case before the public.
Whatever the decision in the contest,
Mr.. Frensdorfs efforts will rebound only
to his credit.
Seeking nothing for himself, ne has de-
voted his time and money on more than
one occasion to securing political square
deal for the people of the second district
AS for Mr.. Bacon, entirely apart from
the methods by which his seat in congress
was secured, the people might well con-
slider in the light of the present national
crisis, some of Mr.. Bacon's campaign lit
erature.
In one circular. printed in German, he
declared himself always considerate OF
the interests of German citizens
What is Mr. Bacon's attitude with re-
spect to the interests of American citi-
zens?

NOL many weeks ago, the country rang
with this:
MAKE YOUR OWN GARDEN"
Now the cry should be-
EAT YOUR OWN GARDENr'
To help out our foreign brothers and 10
knock down the high cost of our own
living were your main purposes in put
ting in your home garden.
Those purposes appeal just as strongly
now that your garden begins to yield, for,
every pound of your garden stuff that
you eat means pound more that can be
exported or released for our soldiers.
But, when we say Eat your own gar
den" we mean much more than just
stuffng anything you've raised into your
own stomach.
Eat the perishable stuff can or dry
that which will keep.
This means just little brainy rear
rangement of your menu, and about three
fourths Of your eating is mere habit and
always has been.
Furthermore, when we urged you TO 20
w SdiuSAiuS, VIC pltu4Clcu lIdb you get
health out of the outdoor work and the
habitual physical exercise
There's health for you now in eating
your garden.
In the hot days Of August and Septem-
Der it is doubtful whether anything, save
fish. eggs and some of the cereals, should
be eaten that doesn't come out of a gar
den.
At this season, your system especially
requires food that's most easily digested
and in the heavy foods there is often real
danger.
Our war duty requires that we substi-
tute on our tables commodities which
cannot be exported for those which are
available for our fighting men.
Our duty to our immediate selves is
that we taboo foods that add to the fires
already in us.
So, Eat your own garden
And by the way the potato and onion
aristocrats of three months ago are veil
ing, we Judge that you're doing it.

Ears. Yet Ye Hear Not

A Greensburg. Pa, man claimed ex-
emption from the national army on
these grounds:
"My sense OF hearing is so acute ! fear
heavy cannonading would impair IT, II
not cause total deafness"
War does deafen.
II has not yet deafened Americans.
Yet some have ears and hear not
hear not the warning Of this war
Cannonading in America would De
louder. and would deafen more Amer
leans, than cannonading in Europe.
And those with ears so acute rs to
hear the far-reverberating sound Of the
guns on the battlefelds Of France have
also hearing delicate enough to sense the
lesson that in the contest with Germany
one American serving now in France is
better than ten Americans serving few
years from now on new battleields on
American soil. in defense OF their very
hearthstones.
And-war does more than deafen.
Il destroys sometimes all.
II is far better that some Of US be
stunned temporarily by gong 70 the
scene Of the cannonading. while all the
rest Of Us work like Trojans at home %
supplement their efforts. than that all OF
US be not only stunned but Scared and
crippled and crushed by more deadly
and costly struggle in our own front
yard.
