these requests will soon, he hopes,
hang In every kitchen. 1t reads:
is ANY OF THIS TOO HARD?
UNITED STATES FOOD ADMIN.
ISTRATION.
Win the war by giving your own
daily service.
SAVE THE WHEAT.-One wheat
less meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal,
rye or barley bread and nonwheat
breakfast foods. Order bread twenty
four hours in advance, so your baker
will not bake beyond his needs. Cut
the loaf on the table and only as re-
quired. Use stale bread for cooking,
toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry.
Our wheat harvest is far below nor
NAL. If each person weekly saves n
pound of wheat -four, hat means $780,
100000 more bushels of wheat for the
allies to mix in their bread. This will
help them to ave democracy.
SAVE THE MEAT.-Beef, mutton or
pork not more than once daily. Use
freely vegetables and fish. At the meat
meal serve smaller portions and stews
instead of steaks. Make made dishes
of all leftovers. Do this and there will
be meat enough for every one at a rea-
sonable price.
We are today killing the dairy cows
and female calves as the result of high
prices. Therefore eat less, and eat no
young meat. If we save an ounce of
meat each day a person we will have
additional supply equal to 100000 cat
tie.
SAVE THE MILK.-The children
must have milk. Use every drop. Use
buttermilk and sour milk for cooking
and making cottage cheese. Use less
cream.
SAVE THE FATS.-We are the
worlds greatest fat MASTERS. Fat is
food. Butter is essential for the
growth and health of children. Use
cooking. Other fats are as good. Re-
duce use of fried foods. Soap contains
fats. Do not waste it. Make your own
washing soap at home out of the saved
fats.
Use one-third ounce less per day of
animal fat and 375, 1000 tons will be
saved yearly.
SAVE THE SUGAR.-Sugar is scar
Ger. We use today three times as
much per person as our allies. So
there may be enough for all at reason
able prices use less candy and sweet
drinks. Do not stint sugar in putting
up fruit and jams. They will save
butter.
If every one in America saves n
ounce of sugar daily 1t mean 100000
tons for the year.
SAVE THE FUEL.-Coal comes from
a distance, and our railways are over
burdened hauling war material. Help
relieve them by burning fewer fires.
Use wood when you can get it.
USE PERISHABLE FOODS.-Fruits
and vegetables we have In abundance.

RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

Says the TeIfair Enterprise:
Most politicians begin their an
nouncements something like this:
Yielding to the solicitation of my
many friends" etc, when it should
be2in: yielding to temptation
etc.
That is the solemn truth.
Mighty few candidates are ever
urged to announce If indeed, they
are, they invite the urging!
We have never yet seen a spontan-
eous combustion among the populace
in favor of having some particular man
run for Office If there is any dem
onstration at all, it is worked up, by
means of underground wires.
There was a candidate in Macon
once who declared that he had an,
.nounced in response to great demand
from the people. When asked private.
IS and coniidentialiy just how many
people had asked him to announce ht
had the candor to admit that NOBODY
had urged him; he was running be

Senator Hardwick's speech at Meiss
Saturday was a downright fizzle. In a
county polling 1880 votes, in the
county where he was born, he had al
eJdience of 800, and in that crowd
there were not more than So who ap-
| plauded him. This, too, in spite of the
TACT that the meeting had been heavily
advertised.
Ii Is quite significant that the man
VINO invited Hardwick, and who acted
as sponsor for him, was ]. D. Mathews,
the cX-preacher, who is known, where
lie is known at all, as a slavish dis
ciple of Thomas E. Watson. His little
paper at Meigs, just as his Cordele
Rambler used to be, before it failed,
is filled with a re-hash of Watson's
abuse of the government. This is the
man who presented Hardwick to an
audience in the latter's home county!
And this was the reception that
Hardwick received in a community
where he had every reason to expect
a fattering welcome. The facts plain
ly show that the staunch Americanism'
Of the people of Georgia is not going

SENATORIAL SIDELIGHTS.

Hon Murphy Gambler has made a
tentative announcement of his cand.-
dacy for the United States Senate,
what he very frankly admits is feeler
and a bid for an expression from the
people.
The Recorder predicts that
Mr. Gambler will not receive any over
whelming response to his invitation to
the public to advise him what he shall
do-and if he eventually runs for the
Senate, as it seems likely that he will,
it will be of his own yolition, and
not because there was an uprising of
the people on his behalf
1t is a pity that a man as fine as
alr. Gambler should destroy himself
politically by a candidacy as ill-ad-
yised as the one he contemplates. It
is a shame that the Atlanta Journal
should try to shove him into a hope
less race; but The Journal always did
liant a candidate of It's own, and for
some time it has evinced a pre-dilec-
ton for Mr.. Candler-or for some
other Atlanta man.
Mr.. Gambler is not known to the peo-
pie His residence in Atlanta is
against him, when Atlanta already has
one senator. His name, to be perfectly
candid, is handicap; for the name Of
Gambler is associated with millions,
eild the great body of the people are
not enthusiastic over electing rich
men, or men supposedly rich, to office
1t took Atlanta's mightiest erro.e rp
put Asa Gambler in the office of mayor
It is inconceivable that Murphy Can
der could be elected United States
Senator at this time, and, therefore,
his candidacy is bound to rebound to
the advantage of Hardwick.

SUPREME COURT
I" AFFIRMS DECISION

An appeal from the district court Of
Stark county in the case of Ella Clark
plaintiff and respondent, VS.. Northern
Pacific Railway company, defendant
and appellant, resulted in a decision
affirming the lower court, according
to an opinion Of the supreme court
rendered a few days ago.
The case was tried in district court
here before Judge Crawford three
years ago and grew out Of an injury
sustained by Ella Clark in a wreck
on the defendants line. Judgment
was rendered for the plaintiff in the
suit for damages and the railroad
company appealed. A peculiar and
very close point Of law was involved
in the case as the plaintiff in the ac-
ton had made a settlement with a
claim agent for the company a short
time following her injury when told
by a physician and also the claim
agent that her injury was very slight.
Later developments, however, war
ranted the damage suit and the court
holds that the question of the suffici-
ency Of a release executed by the
plaintiff to the defendant vas one of
fact for the jury, and that the evil
dence was examined and held sufi-
cient to justify the submission of the
validity of the release to the jury.
Casey & Burgeson, attorneys for
the plaintiff, argued the case in SUI
preme court last March and the de-
%cision, affirming the lower court, is
rendered ten months later.

GEN. THOMAS POOLE MARRIED
TO MISS KATHARINE DWYER

On Wednesday, Dec. 27, at Colorado
Springs, Colo, occurred the marriage
of Gen. Thomas Poole to Miss Kath-
crime Dwyer, both of this city. The
ceremony took place at the home of
Mrs. Mary c. Dwyer, mother of the
bride. The bride was originally a
Jamestown girl, and later lived at Me-
dina, before moving to Bismarck soma
five or six years ago.
Probably no nan is more widely
known in the state of North Dakota
than General Poole. His earlier life
was spent at jamestown, where he
was educated, and he finally came to
Bismarck over 20 years ago o. For q
number of years he has figured con-
spicuously in state politics. He was
private secretary to Gov. Fancher, and
held other positions under the state
government, finally being appointed
Adjutant General, which position he
held with credit to his ability as the
head of the First North Dakota In
fantry. He is now a chartered ac-
countant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Poole will make a tour
of several cities in the south, return
ing to Bismarck about the 18th of
January, after which date they will
be at home at the Mckenzie hotel
Bismarck Palladium.

LOOKS TOO INNOCENT

R. W. Craig of Lisbon, a son of Rev
R. H. Craig, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of this city, is sher.
if Of Ransom county, but he looks
like most anything else under the sun
than a typical sheriff.
The sheriff often finds it rather en-
b%arrassing not to look the part. 1t is
very common for visitors to hustle
into his office with the statement:
81 want to see the sheriff."
every WE'LL" replies Mr.. Craig.
And the visitor waits, and the sher-
iff waits.
Finally, the visitor says:
"Really, I must see the sheriff
don't you think I can see him now
"You are-you can-I'm it," asserts
MI. Craig, and then there are expla-
nations and apologies.
Despite his youthful appearance,
and the fact that he weighs about rs
pounds less than an average sheriff,
and is a lawyer by profession, Sheriff
Craig has succeeded in cleaning up
Ransom county to a point where law
breaking has become very uncommon.
