Messrs. Harvey and White An
nOunce Their Candidacy.

Today's Republican contains two ad-
ditional announcements of well-known
Garrett countlans for the House of
Delegates, namely: MIR. Elliott C.
Harvey, of District No. 6, and Mr..
Albert T. White, Of Loeb Lynn Heights.
MIR. Harvey was a member of the
Legislature several years ago where he
made a splendid record as a man of con-
servatiye views and with the experience
thus gained he would be avery valuable
man to return to the Lower House. He
has always stood for Republican prin-
cipals and has been on the right side OF
all issues affecting the passage Of laws
looking to the bettermentoft masses.
Mr.. White is member of the family
of that name whose home for many
generations has been in the vicinity Of
Loeb LYNN Heights. He is a son of the
late George P. White, sterling citizen
of the county. The family has been
strictly Republican. Mr.. White is the
first of the connection to seek public of

ality and is an intelligent likable gentle
man.

The local Exemption Board made

have filed exemption claims, most of
them on account of dependents and

ligious belief.
These claims will be car efully inves-

MAKING MORE FLOUR

American mlllers convert about 70
per cent of the whole wheat into flour;
the rest becomes offal. 1t is propos ed
to increase the percentage to 80 and in
this way obtain more flour from a given
quantity of grist. A similar practice
has been decided upon by British
millers. In Germany it has been fol-
lowed since the beginning of the second
year of the war. 1t seems to be eco
nomically correct in theory. In fact,
however, taking from the wheat the
last ounce of nutrition reduces the
value Of the offal as fodder. The more
-four one gets out of the wheat the less
feed is left for cattle. Of course in
countries where the fodder crops are
plentiful, and which produce, or have
access to. concentrates, for fattenipg
beef and dairy cattle. feed is not so es-
sential. Wheat is the standard bread
stuff for human consumption, and in
time of shortage it should be devoted
to this primary use up to the limit of
possibility, unless it is absolutely neces-
ssry to feed part of it to stock. AS an
alternative Germany was obliged to re-
duce her production of beef by one
half, and recommendation of the same
policy has been made to British stock

TOO MANY COOKS.

One of the most striking things IN
the present furry of genuine patriot
ism is that everybody seems to be get
ting in everybody's else's way. Every
body seems willing to do their "bit,
except enlist, but in the grand scram-
BILE to put their best feet forward there
has arisen, almost over night, a multi
tudious number of various agencies and
influences stabbing at indefinite some
things, whose energies and assumed or
delegated jurisdictions overlap one
another till in the.maz of innumerable
commissions and committees, no one
could possibly tell who has any real
authority to do anything, and when
anything Is done, there is no telling
that it will not have to be done all over
again several times by other commit
tees or commissions under other names
or jurisdictions. About the most shin
ing example of this kind of thing is no.
ticed in the mad rush to help the farm
er raise more crops. About everybody
seems to be taking swing at this.

influences are at work to save the world

Land Sakesl Why not throw all this
business of greater production of food
and elimination of waste IN agricul-
ture under one authority and get some
systematic working scheme that all
may recognize sand follow. There are
entirely too many cooks working at
this agricultural business, many of
which, I'VE fear, are taking advantage
of the present popularity of the sub
ject, in order to work in a little per-
sonal advertisement and patriotism
at the same time. We imagine that
there is enough brains in the Depart
ment of Agriculture and in the Ex-
faoSiOr Snrxyion fn handle La
cultural situation in so far as promul-
eating schemes and formulas is con-
cerned. All any one else needs to do
is to carry out the requests of the
official agricultural directors of the
State and nation. Agricultural ideas
should originate, officially, with the
Department of Agriculture working
in conjunction with the various State
colleges and stations. If anyone
thinks he has the right idea for say
ing the world through some agricul-
tural wrinkle, hand it to the Depart
ment ofsExperiment station, and if it
is sound, he may be sure it will be put
to good use. 1t is not necessary for
each individual to retail around his own
pet theories with his personal trade
markgon them. We believe that when
it comes to conservation of agricultural
resources in times like these the direc-
ton ofssuch energy should be within
the peculiar jurisdiction and carried on
under the systematic guidance of the
official agricultural authorities, just the
same asswe believe that the military
operations should be directed by the
War Department, and not by some
bank or railroad or armour trust of the
like. There seems to be an over
abundance of volunteers for everything
except the army and navy.

OUR FIRST SHOT SINKS A U-BOAT.

The way to restrict GermanY's sub
marine warfare is the American way
sink the U-boats. A monumental dis
tinction has been gained by the gun
crew of the American steamer Mon
golia, which perforated one of the
kaiser's submersibles that attacked it
in the "barred zone" This was the
first shot fired by American seamen in
defense of their lives and ship in our
war with Germany. That it hit will
cause a rise in Teutonic respect for
American craftsmanship. If we do not
rid the seas of good many of the
criminal craft it will be because they
do not come within our range.
Spain ought to consider this. King
Alfonso's government is once more en-
gagged in the futile pastime of demand
ing that Germany respect the rights
of neutral vessels at sea. The Kaiser S
government is Considering. There
is a bit of fire in the Madrid note, but
Germany does not dread that kind of
fire. If Spain decides to break with
Germany that will be one more excuse
for the Berlin autocrats to present in
explanation of their defeat. Spain will
save no ships except by forcible defense.
The United States soon will have an
augmented fleet plying to Entente
countries. The ships will be armed.
There should be frequent reports of
submarines making their last dive, &C
