REPUBLICANS LOOKING FOR
JUDICIAL CANDIDATE
Central Committee Has Not Taken Final
Action-Mr. Stockett. Is Report

The members of the Republican
State Central Committee for Anne
Arundel County held a conference
here late yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the proposition of placing a
candidate in the field at the Novem-
Der election for the Office CT Associate
Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit
The local G. o. p leaders had been
paying little attention to the Judge
ship issue, but the matter has been
preached by the Central Committee of
Carroll county, who have signified
their intention of indorsing an An
napolis lawyer for the office. Just
who the Carroll ccuntians have in
mind is not stated, nor would the
members of the Anne Arundel Com
mittee divulge the name. 1t is under
stood, however, that efforts are being
made to induce Mr.. Frank H. Stockett
to make the fight
No definite action was taken by the
Committee at the meeting yesterday
An announcement may be made some
time this afternoon, although the
question may be deferred until later.

CIVIC LEAGUE HOLDS
EXECUTIVE MEETING
Endorses Letter Of Gen. Carl R. Gray
Plan Of Work Mapped Out

An executive meeting CT the Wo-
mems Civic League was held yester-
day Afternoon at the residence of the
president. Miss Katherine Walton.
Plans for the work Of the League
for the winter were discussed and
much interest shown by those pres
ent.
Interesting programs for the next
several meetings of the League were
arranged. The League viii take up the
work and study OF "Americanization"
and for the purpose OF being informed
as TO starting classes and arranging
programs. Miss Neal will be asked
10 address the September meeting.
For several reasons the meeting will
be held at p. m the third Tuesday
instead of the evening of the second
Tuesday.
Much interest is being shown by the
League in the organization of "A
Home Guard"
A letter of generalization was or
dered addressed the Mayor upon his
reelection.
A copy of the following letter ad-
,dressed TO the League by Gen. Carl
In. Gray, chairman of the Council of
Defense. was ordered published with
the endorsement of the League, who
| realize how hard it would be on the
children and invalids of our commu-
nifty to be without an abundant milk
/ supply
| From reports reaching this coun-
/ Gil, through its committee on agricul-
/ ture, we have an impression that a
number OF dairymen are hesitating as
I to whether they will place their corn
in the silo or permit it to mature into
grain, which virtually means retire
ment from the milk business
The council feels that such an ae-
ton. at a time like this, would be
little short of calamity. Every eff
fort is being exerted by the men and
women of America TO increase the
production of food, and there is none
more essential and valuable than
milk
The United States Food Admins
tration has appointed committees and
win secure the cooperation of pro
ducers and consumers alike TO deter
mine. as nearly as may be, the cost
of producing and distributing milk
We feel confident that when this in.
formation is obtained. through such
an impartial and responsible source
the milk question will have beer
brought long way toward solution
For practical reasons and as pa
triotic consideration we appeal to the
producer to continue with his bust
ness; to turn his corn into the sile-
and not permit the slaughter of milF
cows

PLENTY OF GLA JARS
Rumor To Contrary Notwithstanding :
The Type Of Jar Needed.

Reports received by the United
States Department OF Agriculture in
dictate that there will be enough glass
Jars, new and old together, during the
entire canning season TO take care OF
the bulk OF the perishable fruits and
vegetables
Manufacturers state that of one type
of lar alone 100000 gross have been
distributed during the present season.
I he manufacturing capacity for this
type of jar is approximately 5000
gross per day, or $4,000 900 jars dur
ing the next hundred days. and the
capacity can be increased, If neces-
sary
Manufactures of other types of glass
containers are prepared. it is stated,
TO turn out many thousand gross
day. Two weeks ago glass COM
panies were ready TO distribute inn
mediately enough containers to hold
over 100000 quarts of fruits and
vegetables.
The new jars to be manufactured IN
time for this seasons canning. IL is
estimated. will enable American
n
housewives to put up over 100000
pecks of beans, corn, peas, tomatoes,
peaches, plums, pears, and apples,
raised in home gardens or bought in
the market when the supply is plenti-
full.
These figures do not take into ac-
count the great quantities of jars in
stores and on housewives shelves.
ANY kind of bottles, old or new. that
can be properly sealed can be used
instead of cans or jars for conserving
many perishable food products, ac-
cording to experts of the Department
of Agriculture While glass or
crockery jars provided with sealing
devices are needed for canning vege-
tables and fruits, bottles and jars not
so provided can be used for some
other products. Preserves, marina
ladies'. jellies, and other fruit prepare
tions in which thick syrup is used,
can be put up in large-necked bottles
and jars and sealed with paraffin, and
fruit juices can be placed even in
small-necked bottles.

DOESN'T KNOW HIS ACE
So Court Must Decide II Claude Arth
Must Register For Army

In order that an investigation may
be made to ascertain the age OF
Claude Rsy Arth. OF Gambr'lls, TINS
county. his hearing on the charge or
unlawfully neglecting to register for
the selective draft was postponed a
week yesterday by Judge Rose In the
Uni ed States Court.
Arth is employed as stenogrspher
and typewriter in the Office OF the Ma
val Academy paymaster at Annapolis.
H was apparently sincere when ne
told Judge Rose that he did not regis
ter for the draft because he was 81
wears old on January 80 last. The
Government had evidence tending to
show that Arth was only 80 years old
last January.
Arth said be is one of 10 survivors
of IS brothers and sisters, and that MS
mother had told him he was 81 years
old. For the purpose of settling the
question of his age, he had employed
physician in Washington. where he
was born, to ascertain it from the rec
ords in that city. The physician re-
ported TO him, be said, that no infor.
nation as to his birth was On record
there.
! Assistant District Attorney Georgs
lE. Kieffner, who appeared for th'
Government, told Judge Rose that th'
Department of Justice had made an in
| vestipation which disclosed that Arth''
birth was recorded in Washington
and IL showed that he was so year:
old on January 80 last. Attorney
Kieffner also produced written state
ment to the same effect, signed by
Arth's mother. AS Arth was appar'
emily sincere and the evidence as L
his case was so conflicting, Judge
Rose said ne would hear more OF TIT
case next Friday. Baltimore Sun.

The men have arrived there from

never replied to the representations,

Americans, other than those of Ger
