PettengilI Says Ackermann
viii Make Better Mayor
Than DR.. Carson.

With a strong plea for the election
o. Rudolph Ackermann as South
Bends next mayor, Samuel Petten-
gill addressed an audience OF men
and women Tuesday night az the
Studebaker school. Mr.. Pettengir
was an ardent supporter of Charles
Weidler in the primaries for mayor
four years ago.
II speak as an independent demo-
crat." said Mr.. Pettengin, and I
have chosen 20 support Rudolph
Ackermann for mayor because I
know he will make a better mayor
Of our city than will Dr. Carson.
THE people Of South Bend should
distrust Or. Carson for his political
friends who are supporting him.
Not only has he attracted to his
candidacy the worst element Of the
republican party. but ne has like
wise attracted 20 his banners the
worst element Of the local demo-
cratic party.
Takes Rap at Tribune.
Or. Carson is likewise supported
by the South Bend Tribune, a news
paper that has always champiOned
the cause Of the public utilities

this city.

The county court met Monday
morning and ordered the bridge
commissioner to advertise for
bids for exchanging bridges from
the new Charlton and the old
stream east of town. It is be-
lieved by the commissioner and
the court that the ditch will soon
be the whole thing and the old
river no more than lake, and
the bridge over the ditch being
now totally inadequate to the
needs. it will be transfer
red to the site of the bridge
across the main Charlton near
the county infirmary and that
bridge taken to the site of the

bridge is good and 100 feet span
and will answer the purpose for
several years.

EMBARGO 0NFOODS1UFF
President Shuts off Shipments
To Quit Feeding Enemy
License Required

President Wilson declared an
embargo on all shipment of food
and feed stuffs to- Switzerland,
Holland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden unless such countries
would guarantee that none of
the products from this country
or their own would be permitted
to reach the central powers or
other enemy territory. 1t is
known that the products
of several of the countries men,
toned have been sold to Ger
many and Austria, and the pur-
pose of the embargo is to shut
off supplying our enemies with
the means of living and perpetu-
ating the war.
The Food control bill has not
yet been passed and in its pre-
sent form is not likely to pass
the senate. Mr.. Hoover says
that there will be no attempt to
| fix prices on farm products in
the hands of the producer, tho
a section of the bill gives the
right to the President to control
distribution, consumption and
holding food and feed stuffs by
any one.

Rev. B. G. Rudd, for some
time pastor Of the Christian
Church of this city, asked his
congregation for release from
contract which extended to next
March and duly appreciative OF
service to the church and to af-
ford the opportunity for him to
expand, he was released.
Rev. Rudd will have a pastor
ate at Cooksville Ills. a suburb
Of Chicago, and will also have
the benefit of one of the best
theological schools which he will
attend during his spare time
from his charge. and that he
will make good and infuse into
christianity a broader view OF
the relationship Of life to chris
tain character and duty, all who
know him feel confident of.

conceptions to balance. con-
sciencious, energetic and has the
good fortune to be able to con-
centrate his efforts on the mat

land associations here were such
as to instill an interest in reli-
gious affairs as well as social
and athletic among the younger
people, and his enthusiasm,
earnestness and advanced ideas
impressed the older churchmen
and outsiders with the thot that
religion did not thrive on long,
faced solemnity half the time

Record Preservation Completed

AsCSVAu SoCAvoshVh OoAnPASsSA
Mr.. Highbarger and his wife
have completed the work on
four hundred volumes of the
records of the county in the
recorders, county and circuit
clerks and probate judges Offices
and the books look like they are
new, viewing them from the
outside. &, .,,s-
During the long years and
much handling of the various
records of the county they nat
urally and unavoidably suffered
deterioration, some of them in
such condition as to necessitate
recopying apparently, but the
work on them by this expert
binder and his wife have restor-
!! ed them so that there is little
doubt but that they will last a
hundred years if any care what
ever is taken of them. Mr.. and
Mrs. Highbarger are not only
expert in their line, but affable
and conscientious people and
do their work honestly and scien-
tifically. In fact, had the books
they have renewed been sent
away for the backs and canvas
covers which have been put on
all OF them, and putting togeth-
er separating pages with new
stitching and other work neces-
sary to make them. or at least
many of them hold together,
1.-THE cost would have been con-
siderably greater to the county.
and the county court is to be
praised for adopting this plan
for the preservation of the
books. If recopying had been
resorted to, the cost would have
been immense, judging from
what the charge was for such
work on two or three some
years ago.
The cost to the county for the
splendid job on the 400 records
] is about $500 ora little over 81 90
each, and that it is worth every
cent and more, let any one in
terested Judge for himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Highbarger will
leave the latter part of the week
to engage in similar work else
where, and the best wishes of
the officers of the county as well
as friends formed while here
viii follow them.

ELRM PROSPEGIs HNE.
Wheat, Oats and Rye in Shock
Threshing Already Begun
Corn A 1.

If all the country will do as
well as this county promises in
the way Of big yields Of crops,
there will be no shortage tho the
u. S. feeds every hungry man,
woman and child on earth. The
wheat is about all cut and oats
and rye will be harvested by the
last of next week and a goodly
portion Of these crops threshed.
Estimates for wheat run from
seven bushels on land which a
few weeks ago appeared to have
so little standing that the planter
Figured on plowing what was
showing and putting in corn in
its place, to 40 bushels from
some of the choicest fields. 1t
is safe to say that the average
in the county will be nearly 20
bushels to the acre.
Oats were never so good in the
county nor was there ever SO
many acres. Several who have
the best they ever raised figure
on as high as rs bushels to the
q "
acre, and none who expect less
at the machine than Is bushels.
There never was finer rye and
barley in the county and the
acreage is clearly above the av-
,erage. One thing which has not
happened in the county in years
is the wheat and oats crops being
ready to harvest at the same
time.
Tie condition of the corn crop
is fine and the acreage greater
than in years. many meadows
having been put to corn. Inc
bottoms are being replanted in
many places the third time and
unless an early frost falls, there
will be much good corn raised
where floods have swept away
what was planted the second
time this season. Unless some
thing happens to the corn fields
in this county between this and
October. we will have the great
est crop in the history of the
county.
The quality Of the wheat just.
ifies the suggestion made some
weeks ago by the agricultural
department of the State Univer.
sity to the effect that Missouri
will have the best wheat in thf
entire country and that it viii
be in great demand and bring
high prices.
