RULING APPLIES TO HOUSE.
WIVES, WHOLESALERS, MANU-.
FAcTURERs, RETAILERS.
80 DAYS SUPPLY THE LIMIT
American Army and the American
People Must BE Fed, Says H. c.
Hoover, Head Of United States
Food Administration.

Washington, Holding more than 80
days supply Of food, whether by
housewives, wholesalers, manufacture
ers or retailers, will be construed as
a violation Of the law and will be fol-
lowed up by speedy prosecution, the
food administration announced. The
American army must be fed; the
American people must be fed.
"There need be no fear" says Her
bert G. Hoover, the food administra-
tor, shat our own supplies will not
be protected and if, as result Of mis-
apprehension, anyone should attempt
to purchase foodstuffs for boarding,
1t viii be robbing the allies Of just
that amount and is violation Of the
food law and will be followed up
sharply, We have ruled that the hold
ing of more than 80 days supplies by
dealers, manufacturers, wholesalers
or retailers constitutes boarding and
the purchase of more than usual
amounts by consumers likewise will
be so construed.
Legislation is being considered"
says the administrator, "by Mr.. Lever
and Senator Pomerene for presenta-
tion to congress for some further ex-
tension Of the presidents powers to
enforce conservation in manufacture
ing trades and in. public eating places.
Although the majority have co-operat-
ed willingly and effectively, there is a
minority which patriotic appeals do
not seem to reach. With such regu-
lations there will be no shortages,
and there will be equal justice to ALL"
The food administration announces
also:
''It is true ths4 the allies need from
100000 to 9O,OOO,OOO bushels more
of American wheat, 1t is true also
that we have already exported the
theoretical surplus of last harvest
over our normal consumption. The
American people have saved con-
siderable amount, estimated at from
25,0O0,0OO to 50,0OO,00O bushels, dur
ing the last five months, and we are
exporting this saving. We cannot
and will not export more than our
savings, for our own people must also
be fed"

win this war, | must stay and work
here. For those reasons | cannot make
a campaign for any office. Because Of
the friends who have been sc kind as
to offer me support for congress, and
the Importance Of having meo who
will be in Washington to represent

times, I feel you should know this at
the earliest moment. You have been 50
kind to me, and so generous In your
assistance In the past that | wanted to
write you and express my sincere
thanks, and deep appreciation, Of your
continued friendship, and the hope
that we might unite on someone from

gress. Sincerely yours. c. G. Sherwood.

SOME A POLITICS

A Pierre dispatch to the dailies says
that so far as the coming primary
campaign is concerned the positions
of superintendent of instruction, and
attorney general appear to be the at
tractive ones, II the number Of candi-
dates are to be considered as a base.
For attorney general the list to date
contains Byron E. Payne and Howard
G.. Fuller Of this city; Harland Bush
field Of Hand county. E. B. Adams Of
Fall River county, and A. L. Sherin,
Of Watertown. There may be others
yet to hear from but that is the list so
far made known.
For superintendent Of instruction,
the list to date are X. II. Gresham
Of Gregory, r. N. AFFORD of Brown,
Fred Shaw Of Beadle, and A. A. Coul-
son OF Kingsbury. which will make
the contest almost as complicated as
that for attorney general.
AS to the other places where Off
GERS are going out after serving two
terms. up to the present there are
three ame put oot as DESTROYS of
filling the position of state auditor,
being Jay Reeves of Brown, at present
state senator from that county: G. A..
Burkhart of Gregory county, at pre-
sent a member of the house Of this
state, and l.. w. Carter, present coun.
ty auditor of Hyde county.
While Secretary of State Rood has
completed two terms, up to the pre-
sent Henry McGrath, present repre-
sentative from Lyman county appears
to be the only candidate in the field
for the Republican nomination for that
place.
The probabilities are that there will
be no candidates in the field for the
Republican nomination against the
present first term" officers, which
list includes Governor Norbeck. Lien.
tenant Governor McMasters, State
Treasurer Helgerson and State Land
Commissioner Knight.

The Register has been informed that
the superintendency Of schools is an
office that seems to lie between two
ladies'. Mrs. Mabel X. Trooien, a
graduate of State College and a hold
er of as high grade certificate as the
state issues, is spoken Of as a very
possible contestant with Mrs. Nc
knight for the honor. Mrs. Trooien
is a Brookings born and bred lady

would seem that no mere man would
have the temerity to enter the field
as against two ladies', it looks as If
the matter would be simplified to a

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it 70 interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
Of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toastine:
made Il into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
