HAS A WILSON LABEL

The national Democratic .admnistra-
ton and the Tammany organization
of New York City have long been at
swords point, and now there is 10 be
an effort made by the Democrats out
side the Tammany communion to wipe
Boss Murphy and his followers out Of
existence as political factors. This
movement has resulted in a newly
formed party named the City Demo

label Of Wilson Democracy. as the

President Wilson's college classmate,
MIR. Dodge; a relative OF ex-Amaassa'

There is no installing the conclu-

ton will support Mayor Mitchell for
reelection. Now the Mayor is Viii
son Democrat: he was Mr.. Wilson's
collector OF customs once upon time.
He cannot be Reelected by the City
Democracy alone, nor by any group Of
anti-Tammany Democrats, organized
or unorganized. He can be reelected,
just as he was elected in the first place.

sanization in New York City.
The Republicans OF Greater New
York have always furnished the bulk
OF the votes for every successful anti
Tammany combination; and they have
invariably secured a very small per-

Just now they are being asked to sup
port Mayor Mitchell again, not alone
as an anti-Tammany candidate. but as

The beginning has been hade for
the formation of a Special Medical Re-
serve throughout the United States
for the period OF the war. 1t presents
possibilities of useful service for all
those American physicians and sur
geons whose years or disabilities
make it impossible for them 10 assume
the active duties of the front. and 1t
bids fair 10 relieve the medical men
of the army-all too few in view of the
enormous demands which are TO be
made upon them--of work essential
for the success of our arms in the
field.
The functions. Of the Special Medi-
cal Reserve must OF necessity be dis
,iuct from those of the regular Med
ical Reserve Corps Of the U. S. army,
which comprises men Suthcenliy

TO be needed for the plain, downright
work of army surgeons. Unless all. or
nearly ALL OF the extraneous medical
labors associated with the war are
performed by others, it IS possible
that approximately so per cen OF the

u. S. To Control Flour

The milling division of the
United States Food administra-
ton announces that all direct
trading by American millers,
exporters and blenders of
flour with European coun-
tries is prohibited The order
is effective Immediately. This
business will be handled here
after by the food administra-
ton.
The new regulations were
made, it is stated, TO effect
proper control and to central
ize the handling of exports of
flour to European neutrals."
and in order to protect the in
terest of consumers who have
necessarily had to pay a rela-
lively high price for flour pur-
chased in very small packages.
1t was announced that, effect
i've December LIST, all millers
operating under agreement
with the Federal food admins
tration will not be permitted
TO sell flour in packages of 9th
err than oneeighth, one-quarter,
and one-half barrel or larger"
and from JanuaSy 1, 1913, mo
miller will be permitted will
be permitted to ship flour in
packages other than these de-
scribed."
1T is anticipated" a state
mcnt said, that the elimina7
ton of small sacks may tempo
rarily disturb established trade
customs. but it is believed that
in districts of congested popu-
lation the retailer will meet the
situation to some extent by the
sale of flour from bulk pack
ages in the grocers' sacks"
Another reason for the order
was ito insure such quaint
lies of flour moving to those
countries as may be necessary
to meet the maximum require
ment."
All sales and shipments to
European neutrals will be
handled through the food adj

WIN THE WAR WITH HOES

Mr.. Christie the Emergency Dem
onstration Agent, reports that at a
recent meeting of the hog growers
of the state it was brought out for
chilly that there has been a decrease
of approximately 20 per cent in the
number of hogs in Kansas and that
the hogs marketed up to date are
about 10 per cent light in weight as
compored with normal conditions.
In order to help win the war it
will be necessary that the hogs pro-
duced be increased next year at
least 20 per cent over and above
this years production. While Sew
ard county did not raise much corn
it is one of the three counties in the
western part of the state that has
mature sorghums. If the ration is
properly balanced pork can be pro-
duced profitably from these feeds.
Mr.. Hoover the food administrator
under date of October 20 says: Il
therefore wish to make these posi-
tive statements that so far as the U.
S. Food Administration is able, thru
its influence on the purchase of pork
and it's products for expectation it
will do al within its power to see that
prices of pork are maintained in
ratio to feed prices tina will cover
not only the cost of production but
proper remuneration to the producer.
'It will pay every hog raiser" says
Mr.. Christie, "to carefully study the
value and cost of feeds and supply
those that produce the greatest gain
at the lowest cost

Ft. Sill, Nov. II, 1917
Dear Bob:
This is one of the half days when
we do as we please and since | sent
my laundry away this week | won,
have any washing to do this after
noon. never did like the idea of
doing my own washing and it is es-
pecially disagreeable when have to
do it with cold water.
The electricians are wiring our
tents for electric lights this after
noon and | guess tina will be about
the last of our improvements. We
have floors in the tents and have the
sides boxed up three feet on the
sides and last Sunday | made a real
door that swings on Kings for the
tent. You can't possibly imagine
what a difference a dor with hinges
makes when you have been getting
down on your hands and knees for
three months crawling in and out of
the tent You will never know what
comfort a house is until you have
lived in a tent for while. 1t is the
most awful aggravation in the world
to not have a nail anywhere to hang
anything on. Now the tent has a
frame of two by tours. The side
walls are five feet high, three feet of
| boards and two of canvas. The CEN
ter pole is taken out and the roof is
supported by four two by tours run
ming from the corners and meeting
at the top. The first thing | did after
we got moved into the tent after it
had a floor and sides was to begin
driving nails. / drove about twenty
five nails and then hung up every
thing / owned but my bed. You
never saw a town kept as neat and
clean as this camp. Every morning
at seven o'clock every scrap of paper
that could be considered trash is
picked up and burned. Then there
is truck which comes around and
hauls away the ashes.
| wondered a long time what they
did with the slop from the kitchens
and just few days ago found out.
We were out on hike and over
about five miles southwest of here
we came across the largest hog pen l
ever saw Some company has the
contract for disposing of the slop
from the camp and has a herd OF
about five thousand hogs to feed it
to. When the hogs get fat they sell
them to the U. S. government and we
eat them so you see there is nothing
wasted after all. However there IS
not as much slop in camp this size
as YOU might imagine. We nave all
we want to eat and good eats, but
any restaurant that feeds 25O men
will have five times as much wasted
as we do. They have it figured out
to a nicely just how much $50 men
will eat. Ten minutes after the
mess line starts the men are all in the
mes hall and in another ten min
utes they have eaten and are all out
again. How is that for doing things
with dispatch.
The girls have been mighty nice
about writing to me since l left Lid,
eral and | can hardly tell you how
much appreciate it. The day when
I don't get a Letter from someone
is blue day for me and my letters
from Liberal have helped to make
more than one day brighter.
We are going to have tractors to
run in short time and when l get
back from France | expect to be
regular expert on tractors.
Let me hear from you and let me
know how business is.
Sincerely,
E. S. Hackney.

NEED OF SWEATERS.

The following appeared in a recent
edition of the Army and Navy Jour
nal:
Publication recently of inter-
views with Secretaries Baker and
Daniels on the subject Of knitting for
thea r1ny< and Navy has given a
widespread impression that such work
was not essential, as men in the SER
vices had plenty of warm clothing.
Such stir has been raised that Sec
essary to make the following state
ment on Nov. II:
"'An apparent misunderstanding
has arisen in some quarters regarding
the attitude of the war department
toward the knitting of sweaters and
comforts for our soldiers. The de-
partment has in no sense discouraged
the furnishing of such garments
through the American Red Cross and
is apreciative of the spirit which
prompts American women in their
knitting for the troops.
1t is true that a sweater is not
included in the regular equipment of
the army and it is not regarded as
an absolutely essential garment.
However, knitted sweater is a gar
ment of great service and constitutes
welcome addition to a soldiers
equipment particularly whei the SOL
der is on duty in the rigorous win
ter climate in France While the de-
partment itself has not officially
called upon any organization to sup
ply sweaters, certain divisions of the
army have made such acquisitions and
have been gratified that the supply
was available. The work Of Amer
lean women who desire to add this
comfortable article to the clothing
supplied the soldier by the war de-
partment is worthy of encourage
ment.''

With a craven soul and fearfci2
OH troubles a ton, or troubles

Or a trouble is what you make 1t;

Come up with a smiling face;
It's nothing against you to fall down

But to lie there is disgrace!
The harder you're thrown the higher

Be proud of your glackened eye;

THE MEANING Of The
PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.

The Patriotic League is not an or
ganization, it is an idea. 1t was con-
ceived of isast spring as a plan for
using the patriotic motive in all reg
ular club activities, for doing many
kinds of patriotic service and for
holding up to the girls who are men,
bers the highest ideals of character
and conduct and helping the to live
up to these ideals.
The work was started under the SUI
pervision of the Junior War Council
of the Natioal Y. w. c.. A., and IN
hundreds of communities thousands
of girls have, by signing the league
pledge, lined themselves up to do
their share Of the work during war
times. Leagues are started by groups
already organized, and work under
leaders who help them to live up to
the meaning of the pledge.
In Pensacola no rooms were pro-
vided for recrational facilities for
league work, so that the National
War Work Council of the Y. w. c. A.,
cooperating with local groups, inter
ested in war work, have made possible
a splendid suite of rooms at 1872
North Palafox street, upstairs. The
various league groups, organized in
schools, stores, ETC., will have oppor-
tunity for educational and recreation
al work as well as place to rander
specific patriotic service. Detailed
plans about the use of the rooms will
be published from day to day.
In addition to rooms for league
groups, there will be a cosy rest room
and well equipped reading room at
the service of visitors to Pensacola.
One room is devoted to the use Of
the Red Cross Auxiliary, and friends
of the service men are cordially in
vited to come to the rooms and as
sist with the work.
Beginning Monday, November 26th,
the rooms will be open from 10 to
/ o'clock in the mornings, and from
2 to $50 o'clock in the afternoons.
Evenings they will be kept open on
request of any group of girls who
wish to entertain, on their making
application to the secrtary of their
group.
On Saturdays and Sundays the
rooms will be open to t,.e service men,
with entertainments on Saturday
evenings, and after with vespers on
Sunday afternoons.
