Almost 10.25O.OOO American wom-

The program OF food conservation
This is the announcement made by
Washington campaign headquarters
yesterday. as they passed the goal"
Of 10,0O0.00O set for the campaign.
fThe exact total is now 1O.215.24O,
which is an increase of more than
a 100000 over the last official
statement.
The big boost in the present fig
uTc is due in part to returns from
Illinois, which started its campaign
? week late. Harry Wheeler. the
Federal food administrator for that
State in making his report over
long distance telephone, said: Il
have been travelling through my
state for the past week. and can re-
port over 100000 signed pledge
cards in Illinois, which is 225,0O
more than we are now credited with
in Washington. 1t will be a week
or ten days before l can furnish
a final report. but there is every

far has come forward with 10000
new pledges, making total of over
100000 and we are still going after
that 100000"
Even at the close of the second
week of the campaign, there is no
State that has been able to report
a complete total. and several of
them are just getting started on
their tabulations, having found it
necessary to continue their canvass
in order to visit all the families.
Minnesota, with 466,OOO families in
the State. started its campaign last
Monday, a week later than other
states, and has sent in no report
as yet.

WOULD HAVE COURT
ANNUL MARRIAGE

Had her husband waited a trifle
less than two months, Mrs. Virginia
McCauley Johnson probably would
not have asked the District Supreme
Court to aHnul her marriage of June
g, 1917. to Ernest johnson.
In her petition filed yesterday
through Attorney NJ. F. Mangan. Mrs
johnson states that johnson was not
legally divorced from his first wife
until August -, Of the same year.
The couple were married in Balti-
more June g. 1917. Later, the wife,
states, she found out that the petition
for divorce filed by her husbands first
wife was not signed in Colorado,
where the first wife brought suit for
absolute divorce, until August 20. fol-
lowing.
Wife No 2 claims that her husband
was legally disqualified in contracting
the second marriage and asks the

CONGRESS DOES
NOT FEAR RISE
OF new PARTY
Few Members Take Nation
alists Seriously; Progress
sive Collapse Cited.

Few members Of Congress are fear
ing the result OF the organization OF
the new Nationalist party. This is
indicated in private conversations and
In statements made by some of the
members during their home visits.
The big weakness of the new party.
saccording TO the popular sum-up OF
politicians, is that it has no big prin-
Ciple upon which 1t can stand and
which is not already a part OF the
platforms Of either the Democratic
or Republican party.
There Is only one vital issue upon
which the new party might take
a stand against the two older parties.
and that is on the war. Leaders o.
both parties say the new unit can
= NOT possibly do this-in fact, that 1t
dare not do so. II it tries to. they
point. it will at once dig its own
grave.
Founded On Discomfort.
Most of the politicians are compar-
ing the new party's organization with
that of the late lamented Progressive
party. The latter. OF course. is found
ed upon a personality. and was there
fore estopped from the first from be-
ing permanent or at any time dan
gerous factor to either of the old
parties.
In a few States where preliminary
skirmishes have been made by men
who hope to be Nationalist leaders
there are seen early endeavors to
unite the source of disaffection in
every other established party. In the
Middle West, for instance, there are
efforts being made at this time to
bInite the so-called radicals of the
Democratic and Republican parties
with the Socialists and the members
of the new non-partisan or farmers
group.
1t is hoped by this move to gain
numbers at the outset which cannot
be gained in any other way-and
which might not be gained if the
mother party sought to enunciate its
principles before it sought to gain
converts to its cause.

The Prescott daily news., 1917-10-01
(By United Press.)

Winona, Mo-, Oct. 1.-One of the largest sales of sheep in this section of the Ozark mountain country, has just been reported.
 Peter Fairbairn sold 2,300 sheep to Ohioans at $10 a head for old ewes and the 1916 crop of lambs, and ST a head for 1917 lambs.
 Fairbairn who had been raising sheep in Montana, came into the Ozark country in October, 1915, with LISA ewes, mostly Merinos which came from New Mexico, and he placed them on 4,320 acres land. The sheep cost him $6 head.
