The Edward N. Wellers left Sunday
to join the Salem contingent at Seal

They were accompanied by Mrs Wei
Ter s mother Mrs. Hewitt.
Mrs. David Campbell, widow of Dav-
lid Campbell, late chief of the Portland
] fire department, and William p Lord,
prominent attorney and son of the late
Ex-Governor William 7. Lord were
quietly married last Thursday at Stew
ens0n, aWsh.
Although the happy event was not
unexpected among their numerous
friends, they managed to keep their Sc
cret until yesterday when the news
leaked out. On account of the promi-
nence and popularity of both the report
created more or less of sensation.
Accompanied by Mrs. w. d. Allard,
sister of Mrs. Campbell, the couple mo-

noon, where they obtained the license
and were married by minister of that
place. DR.. Mort, boyhood friend of

Three years ago she chaperoned par

chosen queen and maids of the Rose
Festival on tour of the Pacific coast
Her cheerful disposition and radiant
good nature have served constantly to
enlarge her circle of friends.
Mr.. Lord is native of Oregon. His
father served as governor of the state

How to Protect Your
Fruit When Dried
By George Martin

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent)
Washington, Aug, TN this article
Uncle San goes into detail ON ways you
can protect your dried fruits and vege-
tables and tells you what dangers to
look out for.
| There are TWO Kinds of moths that
will attack them. They are more likely
to get into the fruit while they are
drying than after they are packed
away. This is particularly true of dry
ing in the sun.
One is the Indian meal moth. It is
the most destructive of the two. It IS
about 3S of an inch long and has a
cloaked appearance, one third gray and
the rest copper brown.
The fig moth is about the same size
but all iark rtTual gray.
Along with these usually comes a
minute, fiattened chocolate brown bee
tie. 1t does considerable damage.
Their eggs hatch on the fruit in the
form of whitish or pinkish caterlal!;rs.
If these are stored away with the fiuit
they will propagate and produce thou
sands of their kind in the storage hlns
Hence, pack your stuff in small tex-

Commuters DEMAND
TRANSFERS At bridge
Virginians Go to Supreme Court to
Gain Point.

Virginia commuters on the Washing
ton and Old Dominion Railway Com
pany have asked the District Supreme
Court to enter into the controversy
over free transfers from the Virginia
railway to the Capital Traction Com
pany in a petition for a writ OF man.
damus filed in court yesterday by Her
man z. Gasch and other commuters
to compel the Interstate Commerce
Commission to take Jurisdiction over
the Capital Traction Company and
compel it to accept the transfers.
In the petition filed through Attor-
neys jackson and Sherier the COM
muters state that the tariffs were
substantially increased by the Old Do
minion in the schedule which was hlsd
August 3, 1916, and that the transfer
arrangement with the Capital Traction
Company was discontinued whereby
purchasers of tickets were entitled TO
.. free transfers to any point in the Dis
trict on the lines OF the Capital Trac-
tion.
The commission on January 6, 1917,
denied Jurisdiction over the Capital
Traction Company on the ground that
1t was engaged in the transportation
of passengers only as a street railway,
the petition of the commuters stating
that 1t had entered into an interstate
traffic by the previous transfer ar
rangement and therefore was amen
able to the commission.

Community STORES
WILL CUT WAR COST
Carl Vrooman Gives Practical Ad.
vice at Meeting Here.

'1llegitimate war profits in food
stuffs can be cut to the bone by COM
munity cooperative stores or buying
associations" said Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture Carl yrooman in an ad-
dress delivered TO a largely attended
community meeting last night at
Emery School. Randolph street and
Lincoln road northwest.
The Emery School Is the leader in
this movement in Washington, having
operated a community cooperative
store for several months with marked
success. 1t Is expected that other in
stitutions will follow this lead, form
ing a chain of such stores In various
parts Of the city. all bound together
in one cooperative association.
Cooperative stores can not only
furnish staple foods TO the consumer
at minimum prices, but they can sup
ply to the consumer also a large num-
ber of war foods which people can
buy today at commercial stores only
by paying fancy prices. I refer to
such nourishing foods as whole wheat
flour. whole cornmeal, brown rice, soy
beans and COW beans-foods which are
nourishing and which ought to be
cheap, but which are being sold at
figures far above their cost plus a
fair profit.
Washington is particularly fortu-
nate In being one of the few cities in
the United States which has public
markets to which the farmers can go
with their produce and sell 1t direct
to the consumer. This is a great ad-
vantage to hotels, restaurants. clubs,
retail storekeepers and providers for
families who have the time and the
transportation facilities to 20 to the
public market and secure their food.
But the majority of the housewives
OF the District canot buy direct from
the producer. They have not time TO
go to market. and 1t is unfair to criti-
else them for wanting to have a
store around the corner.
Cooperation is fine thing to talk.
put dt is to easy to talk. 1t is a hard
thing to do and. as the times chaI-
lense people to do hard things, I urge
you to take up seriously at the earliest
possible moment the problem of estab-
fishing in your own neighborhood a

MEXICAN PAPERS
teach j. S. HATE
German Propaganda Spread By
Publications of Republic.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Mexico City, Aug. 23.-Friends OF
Germany are conducting in Mexico
newspapers propaganda against the
United States. but the efforts have
failed Of their purpose in so far as
the better educated and influential
classes are concerned.
There is reason to believe 1t has had
no effect on men prominent in public
life, those associated with the govern
ment or the high officers of the army,
but it seems certain the German cam
paign has exerted a certain influence
over the uneducated Mexicans.
The line followed has had for its
end the convincing of the more igno-
rant classes that the friendly advices
of the United States are net to be
trusted and that country is steadfast
in the aim of overthrowing the SOW
ereignty of Mexico and seizing for
its own. either by economic means or
by force, the tet-ltory between the
Rio Grande and Panama.
The Germans also have made strong
efforts to spread the belief that tho
allies are in desperate straits for men,
ships and money, and that the ulti-
mate victory of the central powers
is assured.
