GEO. D. BROWNING
IS in THECONTEST
District No. 2 Presents the Name
of a Good Business Man.

In the column of The Republican
devoted to announcements of candidates
for political preference, our readers
will find an additional name for the
Office of County Commissioner, the new
candidate coming from FriendsYille in
the person of Mr.. George D. Browning,
who has been successfully engaged for
some wears in numbering operations in
and about Friendsyille and also near
Oakland.
Mr.. Browning is at present the
Republican member of the Board of
Supervisors of Elections. He also
filled this office under the administra-
ton of Governor Goldsborough, and
proved himself to be a painstaking
public official.
Four years ago he was candidate
for the nomination for Commissioner,
receiving a very fattering vote in all
parts of the county, lacking but thirty
five votes in the holly contested cleo
ton to be the winner, his chief opponent
being the present Commissioner, Mr.. D.
M. Dixon, who received 935 votes.
Mr.. Browning's qualifications as a
business man and as a public spirited
citizen are of such proportions as to
make him an ideal candidate and should
he be elected to the Office, as he states
IN his announcement he will conserve
the interests of the taxpayers and with
profound constancy favor fair dis
tribution of the public funds to every
section of the county,

SMOKEHOUSE ROBBED.
Meats to the Value of $500 Stolen
From I. o. Friend.

On last Saturday night the smoke
house of T. o. Friend, residing on
farm near Lewis dam, several miles
west of Oakland, was robbed of meats
amounting in value to more than a
hundred dollars, as well as several
bushels of potatoes.
Upon the discovery of the theft Mr..
Friend notified the officials in Oakland
and armed with a search warrant they
went to the place where the robbery
occurred. Here the officers were join
ed by a number of Mr. Friends neigh
bors who prosecutedsthe search cover
ing a great scope of country, finally
stopping at the house of the man sus-
pected. No evidence of the missing
property was found, however, at the
house. Along side path through the
woods one sack of potatoes was dis
covered, which was returned to the
rightful owner.
The search of the premises OF the
suspect was conducted by Deputy Sher-
if Jesse AshbY.

NEGROES PACKED INTO
VILE SHACKS IN DETROIT
UNABLE TO GET AWAY
Dr. Eugene b. Elder Sends Illustrated Page from the Detroit
Free Press Describing Conditions There.
Struggle for Existence in Detroit Worse Than the Negroes Ever
Dreamed OF in the Southern States.

Writing from Detroit, DR.. Eugene
b. Elder sends an illustrated page OF
the Free Press describing the condi
tons under which the negro lives in
that city, the picture showing houses
and surroundings that are much
worse than in the poorest sections OF
southern city.
The article says that on an average

is approximately one half mile wide
and one mile long, and, according to
a recent survey, there are 10000 ne
groes crowded into this territory, in
addition to the whites who make
their homes there The article says:

The article concludes:
"Thcse are the people who are
coming into Detroit at the rate of
100 or so day, and there is no
prospect of a let-up in the flood. Some
stay only a short time, because they
learn to their sorrow that even with

IF YOU CAN'T BE A SOLDIER BUY A BOND
BOND BUYING WAS
ON GREAT INCREASE
ALL WHO POSSIBLY CAN, SHOULE
MAKE THEIR CALLS ON
BANKS TODAY.

More Liberty Bonds were sold i'll
Brunswick yesterday, probably, than
on any other day since subscriptions
were opened by the local banks and
others. While no figures were OBJ
tainable, however, it is understood
that all three of the banks received
many applications. They may not
have been for the largest amount sub
scribed on any one day, but it was
possibly the largest number of in
dividual subscribers.
This record, however, will probably
be surpassed today and tomorrow,
as, is generally the case, many peo-
pie have waited until the last day or
two to make their subscriptions, and
there will probably be somewhat OF
a rush at all Of the banks during the
remaining two days the bonds can be
purchased.
Just how much Brunswick will sub
scribe to the bonds, of course, can
not be stated at this time, but the
people in this city are responding
most literally and it is expected that
Brunswick's showing will be a good
one.
The bankers of the city urge ali
who possibly can to make every effort
to do their bond buying today, as
there will be a big rush tomorrow
Make it point to visit your bank
today as early as possible after the
opening hour, which is 8 o'clock.

PRAYER AS AID TO FIGHTERS
Two Men of Different Faiths Declare
They Are Strengthened by Devo-
tions Before Battle.

Capt. Andre Cornet-Anquier,
Protestant soldier who died for France,
tells us: "a Catholic captain said the
other day that he prayed before every
engagement. The major observed that
it was no time for such things, and
that he would do better to attend to
his orders. Major replied the other
man, 1T doesn't prevent me from TAX
ing my orders and fighting, and feel
the stronger for it. Then I broke in:
Captain, do as you do, and I also
am strengthened

they are men Of different religions and
they are in harmony. In harmony
concerning what? A fact. What does
prayer mean to these soldiers? They
tell US that it is something which
makes them stronger; that they draw
virtue from 1t. We have all read
about such things, but these two men
speak from their own experience.

desirable, as it permits the cool air
to enter at the bottom of the room.
Two or more joints of 6-inch stovepipe,
one with a damper, and an elbow may
be used. A piece of board with a hole
the size of the pipe is fitted in the
window in place of one of the panes
OF glass. Another pane of glass may
be removed from the sash and a small
hinged door fitted in it's place, which
when open allows the heated air to
escape. In cold weather both the
hinged door and the damper in the
stOvepipe must be closed. The win
dows in the storage room should be
darkened in order to protect the vege-
tables from the light.
Barrels, crates, boxes, or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to built-in bins, as it is pos

is advisable to construct shelves OF

METHODS USED BY DIPS VARY
Plckpockets of the Higher Grade Work
in Groups in Places Frequented
by Prosperous People.

AS a usual thing, pickpockets vary
their methods to suit circumstances.
Only the low-grade dips work in pairs.
These are the men who operate on
street cars, elevated stations, plat
forms, and similar places where they
will find crowds of pushed people and
have opportunity to escape if detected.
One of the pair shoulders a victim
roughly while the other does the work
and makes a getaway, says the Bo-
hemian. Arrests are frequent, but con-
victions rare, because the man cap
tured seldom has the loot.
The higher grade dips also work in
such places. The difference is that
they work in groups and choose times
when prosperous passengers will be in
the majority. During the fashionable
shopping hours and after the theater
at night are considered harvest times.
Last winter three dips worked clever
method in Chicago. Garbing them
selves in evening clothes, they mingled
In fashionable crowds in big cafes,
theater exits, and railway stations.

Industry of Genius.

Most writer's recognized as possessed
of genius or of great talent have been
voluminous producers. In most cases
their talent or genius, as rule, after
being stimulated by success, has lit
orally taken possession of them and
forced them to work hard and persist
emily. Balzac used to have RACES of in
dustry lasting for many hours and
leaving him exhausted. Scott's prodigi-
GUS industry was due mainly to his de-
termination to pay off heavy indebt-
edness. Dickens was marvelously in
dustrious. But Thackeray was lazy
and used to suffer greatly from the
thought Of work undone. His RACES of
work were not voluntary, like Balzacs,
but inspired by desperateness. But he
could take a theme for a novel and
stick to it till he had produced q
monumental work. If he had loved his
work more, however, he might have
made the world even richer than he did
by his unique gift and he might have
discovered in himself unsuspected
veins Of genius.-EXchange.

ment of Agriculture)
Natural storage is the simplest and
least expensive method of keeping veg
etables for fall and winter consump-
ton. Wherever practicable, this meth
cd should be made use of, especially
this season when the conservation of
food and the keeping down of food ex-
penses is peculiarly important. Own
ers of home gardens are, in general,
best situated for storing vegetables
since they probably have surpluses of
vegetables in the fall. 1t often is pos
sible, however, for other householders
to buy vegetables cheaply enough in
the fall to justify the preparation and
stocking of storage places.
Storage is especially successful with
the root, tuber, and bulb crops such as
carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. Cab
bage, celery, pumpkins also winter
squash, mature beans and peas, and
a number of other vegetables also may
be stored.
The successful storage of vegetables
is not at all difficult; in fact, good
storage facilities already exist in most
homes, it being only necessary to make
use of the cellar, the attic, large
closet, or other parts of the dwelling,
depending upon the character of the
product to be stored.

the dwelling offers good conditions fol-

lars are not well suited for storing veg

one illustrated in figure 1 can be ar

ever, the cellar is built in the shap
of an ell, the room should be mad
by partitioning off the offset, as showl
in figure 2. In some cases it is pos
sible to cut off one end of the celia
with one straight wall.
Construction of the Storage Room.
The size of the storage room shoul
be determined by the space availabl
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-10-05

and the amount of material to be
stored. Natural earth makes a better
floor than concrete or brick, as a GER
tain amount of moisture is desirable.
The walls Of the storage room should be
parallel to the walls of the cellar. Lay
2-by-4-inch scantling fiat on the floor
and secure them with pegs driven in
to the floor or by mailing them to the
top Of short posts set in the ground.
Set 2-by-4-inch studding from this
sill to the ceiling, spacing them 16
inches apart from center to center.
Locate the door to the storage room
at the most convenient point, making
it large enough to admit barrels,
boxes, ETC., 211a feet wide by 61a feet
high being a good size. Set the studs
on either side Of the door 80 inches
apart, which will allow for the door
and the frame. Put header over the
door, allowing 1 inch for the frame
and H of an inch for the sill at the
bottom. Set the studs against the
walls where the cellar walls and stor-
age-rOOm walls meet. Care exercised
in making the frame square and plumb
will enable the builder to get the struc'
ture tight with u minimum of labor

Books for Control of Food,

Under a system of food control pro-
posed in England to secure the same
results as issuing tickets permitting
the holder to purchase bread, meat,
butter and other supplies, every house
holder, says Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine, would be compelled to keep an
official "housekeeper's book" All pur-
chases of food would be entered in this
book by the shopkeeper, and after a
fixed date no food would be sold un-
less an official passbook was presented.
The book would sell for cents and
upward, according to size. 1t would
show the number of adults in each
household, also the number and ages
of children.
Separate columns would be provided
for entering different kinds of food, so
that the quantities bought could be
seen at a glance. No new book would
be issued until the old one was re,
turned for official inspection.

BALLET GIRLS AIDED BY WAR
New Russian Government Makes 1t
Possible for Dancer to Enter
Learned Professions.

Russian ballet girls are being per-
mitted to enter the learned profess
sions. A special commission to pre-
pare reforms in the former imperial"
now state, theaters, has pronounced
for abolition of the system under
which ballet pupil could never be
anything but ballet dancer.
At the age of nine years many girls
entered the ballet school of the Marin
sky theater and spent their childhood
learning to dance, receiving scarcely
any general education, and were Or
dered to go on the ballet stage. II
they refused they were excluded from
all except the lowest occupations.
In the future, girls who have passed
through the ballet school will be con-
sidered as having received a complete
six-class scholarly schooling, and will
thus be qualified to matriculate in a
woman's university and become doc
tors, lawyers, engineers and techni:
clans.
