OWEN FETZER WRITES
OF WAR in FRANCE
Says Many German Soldiers
Are Mere Boys Only Ia
Years of Age

Squire and Mrs. j. II. Fetzel
of Logan township received q
letter Saturday from their son,
Owen, who is With the Ameri-
can Army now in France. This
is the first letter they have re-
ceived from the young man
since his arrival at the battle
front.
One interesting feature OF
the young mans letter is the
statement that many of the
German soldiers captured are
about the age of his brother,
Carl, who is mere lad only IA
years of age. This would indi-
cate that German man power
is at a very low ebb or else the
German war lords have entire
ly lost their reason, as no ma
ton can afford to take its boys
of this age into the army and
send them upon the battlefields
to be moved down like weeds
before cycle. His letter fol

new CONSTITUTION
AND STATE POLITICS
Writers of New Constitution
Seek to Throttle Ambition
of aspiring Politicians

| LllLle hOCk, July lO.-ANeht
years politics is already COM
ing to the front, while the con-
stitutional Convention has been
wrestling with the problem of
spiking the long-distance polit-
ical guns. The Convention has
endeavored to bust up the time
honored political machine by
throwing a monkey-wrench
into its vitals, prohibiting any
man in office from succeeding
himself or anybody else after
he has served four years.
Of course there is another
side to it and not all the mem
bers of the Convention are full
ly satisfied over the action of
the majority. While there is a
growing opposition to officers
perpetuating themselves in Of
flee, there was strong argu-
ments made on the floor of the
convention against the tender-
cy to deny to the people the
right and privilege of electing
to office any man whom they
might desire, whether he hap
pened to be in office or out !;
and that it is unjust to those
men who are ambitious to sue
coed in this world to say that
they shall not aspire to other
offices after they have served
faithfully in one.
''The remedy is worse than
the bite of a snake" is the way
one of them put it in opposing
the new principle which it is
sought to write in the organic
law of the state. However,
that is the way it is now writ
ten, and there appears to be
no movement at the present
time toward a reversal on the
subject.
The prohibition against an
officer succeeding himself or
becoming candidate for ano-
Their office during the term Of
office, has been made to apply
only to those who are elected
after the new Constitution is
adopted.
This opens up several inter-
esting conjectures and circum-
stances in which the "ifs" loom
large. If the Constitution is
submitted at special election
before the general election in
November, and if it is ratified
by the people, then the Off
GERS who are elected in Novem-
Der will have been elected af-
ter the adoption of the Consti-
tuition and will be barred. But
if the Constitution is submitted
at the General election, for
which there seems to be a
growing sentiment, then the Of
ficers will not be elected after
the adoption, but at the same
time, and the prohibition could
not apply.
During the state convention
there appeared above the sur
face some political periscopes
that seemed to indicate some
interesting developments with
in the next twelve months.
There was open talk about the
probability of Gov. Brough be-
coming a candidate for the u.
S. Senate against Senator w.
F. Kirby, although this rumor
was neither denied nor con-
firmed by Governor Brough.
Incidentally, it is held by many
that the plank in the Constitu-

Bread Without Sugar.

A method Of making bread without
either sugar Or malt has been worked
out by the Ispert-Hincke Milling COM
pany of Kansas City and is presented
to the public for the rood OF the bak-
ing industry. This process uses germ
middlngs, which are ordinarily sold
for livestock food Seven pounds of
germ middlings are weighed out for use
with 100 pounds of flour, placed in a
vessel and scalded with water After
it has stood for a short time the resi-.
dunn is strained out, and the water
used in making up the dough, adding
as much more water as IS pcccSsary.

use OF either sugar or malt shows an
Increased expansion with a loaf OF
fine texture and exceptional flavor a
trifle whittier than when sugar is used
in baking, The process has been per-
iccted in the milling companys labora-
tory, and is now being applied COM
mercially in the Campbell Bakery OF
Kansas City. Another process, report
ed by the Northwestern Miller, consists
in taking s percent of the flour to be
used in the bread batch and letting it
stand in five times its volume of water,
for several hours, at a uniform tem'
perature Of $50 degrees. This makes
sugar unnecessary, but does not dis
pense with the desirability of using
