SUNDAY WORK ON FARMS.
Clergymen in Indiana Give Their Sane
ton to it When Necessary to Save
Crops.

ton to it When Necessary to Save
Crops.
Washington, D. c., June 27-lt is
quite right and proper to do farm
work on Sunday if that Sunday work
is necessary to produce food crops to
help whip Germany, at least that is
the attitude Of the rural churches OF
Indiana, expressed recently in eonfe-
renee at Purdue University. The rea-
son given for this position was the
conviction OF Indiana rural ministers
that Germany is the worst enemy or
civilization, and of every, church OF
civilization-of all religion every
where, that is worthy the name of re-
ligion; that the victory of the bar
arous Huns would be literally the VIC
tory of the devil and the triumph Of
that pagan monstrosity created by the
Kaiser's savage and sacreligious mind
and called by him "the good old German
gott"; in short, that every church in
America is fighting fer its existence,
Just as every other component of civil
lization is fighting for its existence,
and that if Sunday work in saving
crops will help overthrow this bestial
menace it becomes ver!tably a
churchly work to do.
This conference of the rural churches
of Indiana was held at Purdue Uni
versity under the auspices of the De-
partment of Agricultural Extension.

NO HELP FOR HENPECKED.
Once on Sea of Matrimony, Must
Paddle Own Canoe, Says Judge.

Harrisburg, June 27.-Judge Kun,
kel in the Dauphin County Court Mon
day laid down the dictum that the law
afforded no relief for the henpecked
husband. Said the learned Court:
mo one has the right to jump into
the sea of matrimony and then call for
hc;p. If you marry woman who
can cook but won't, that's unfortunate;
if you marry one who can't cook and
won't that is your fault"
The ruling was made when Harvey
Witchey asked for release from his
wife, who, he said, would not cook his
meals, mend his clothes or "treat him
right"

APPALLED, BY AMERICANS
Prisoners Number $50, Including
Seven Officers, and Other Booty Is


udilirEs
In an attack upon the German lines
on the Marine front Tuesday night
the American troops extended their
line northwest OF Belleau wood. They
took $50 prisoners, including seven
officers, together with number of
machine guns and other booty. Addi-
tional prisoners are coming in.
Preceded by a thirteen-hour bonn
bardment by their artillery, the Amer
leans made an irresistible rush for the
complete clearing of the wood, in
which it was discovered Tuesday that
the Germans were still occupying a
small strip of underbrush.
German prisoners taken pay tribute
to the brilliant dash OF the Americans,
declaring the men in the assaulting
party fought like demons.
The Germans were virtually cleared
OFT of Belleau wood several days ago,
but the discovery was made Tuesday,
that under cover of darkness they
had planted machine guns behind
huge boulders, in sunken roadways, in
shell holes and in trees in narrow
area on the edge of the wood. 1t
was most difficult to get at them in
these positions and some fierce hand
to-hand fighting occurred during the
night while the clearing process was
being carried out.

Based Upon Strictly Cash Transac-
tion--Mcrchant Allowed to Attach
Little More II the Flour Is to be
Charged.

Columbia Food Administrator John
P. Graham has received instructions
regarding the sale of flour by the
mills to the retailer and from the re.
taller to the consumer The food adj
ministration has fixed the following
prices for the sale of flour to the
groceryman or retailer at the follow
ing prices;
Pure wheat flour in "a pound bags,
per barrel $11.
Pure wheat flour in 4S pound bags,
per barrel $1,000.
The $3.50 flour is sold at the same
price.
For the self rising flour add fifty
cents to the barrel, making the "a
pounds cost 81 and the AZ pounds
cost $11.3O barrel.
Under the rulings of the food adj
ministration the retailer is allowed to
make profit OF Is cents per bag on
the "a pounds or $1.20 per barrel, max
ing the total cost of the barrel of
flour by. retail for the "a pounds
$12.20, and for the 48 pounds. $12.
This, however, according to County
Administrators Graham is for strictly
cash transactions. and groceryman
having to make charges on his books
is allowed to charge small per cent
more, just SO that he is within reason.
Any violations of this ruling Of the
administration II brought to the at
tention of the County Food Admins
traitor will be thoroughly investigated
and reported promptly to the state
food administration who will In turn
take the matter up with the proper
authorities. The penalty for the vio-
lation of any of the food administra-
ton rulings or laws is very severe and
endorsements are being rigidly car
ried out all over the county.
1t is understood that the attention
OF the local food administrator has
been called to the fact that flour was
being retailed greatly in excess of the
above prices. The food administrator
desires to notify all grocery men to
stay within the laws Of the admin
istration to avoid any friction.
These prices will hold good until
due notice is given by the administra-
ton, and any violation thereof by
either the mills or the grocery men
will be promptly dealt with.

JUDGE {. (. ERWIN
NAMED CANDIDATE
FOR STATE SENATE
WAS IN SENATE FROM THIS DIS.
TRlcT DURING SESSION
OF 1so1-03. IN
MAN OF LONG EXPERIENCE
Was Supporter Of Adams Bill In 1901
Little Likelihood of Opposition to
Judge Erwin or Candidates for Rep
resentative.

City Recorder II. E. Erwin, yielding
to the solicitations of his friends and
the public, will be candidate for
state senator from the goth district
composed Of Maury, Lewis and Perry
counties, subject to the Democratic
primary of August / in the three coun.
ties. Petitions signed by a. large
number OF business and professional
men of Marry county were filed to-
day with the primary boards Of the
counties, legally putting his name on
the ticket.
Judge Erwin was averse to make
the race but with the practical as
surance that he would have no opposi-
ton and that no strenuous camla align
would be necessary he finally consent.
ed to permit his name to be placed on
the ticket.
Judge Erwin has already served two
terms as the senator from this dis
trict, having been member Of the
upper house of the general assembly
in 1901 and 1908. His legislative ex.
perience will be OF great advantage
to him in tthe next session. He has
also had long experience as public
official, having been city recorder al
most continuously since 1887. He has
held this office with an interim Of
only few months, for 81 years
1t was during the session of 1901
that the Adams law. one Of the first
prohibition measures in the state. was
enacted, and Judge Erwin was one Of
the chief supporters OF that bill He
also espoused the SO called dispen-
sary bill for Columbia in 1903 which
at that time was considered a radical
prohibition measure. This bill was We
toed by Governor Frazier
The legislative session of 1903 was
made famous by the Tennessee Gen.
trail terminal fight, and in that issue
Judge Erwin supported the Jerre Bax-
ter terminal bill. He was also men,
Der Of several important committees
and made reputation as one of the
states Wisest law makers.
II Is understood that IL Judge Err
win is elected he will be granted
leave Of absence by the board OF
mayor and aldermen from his duties
as municipal officer. This was done
during his other terms as senator
There is little probability that
either Judge Erwin or the candidates
for representative from this county
will have opposition Former Repre-
sentative W. j. Russell, and r. N.
Moore have already announced as can
didates for representative and thus
far there has been no Indication that
they will be opposed.

Charley Henry Thompson, negro
registrant who failed to report for en-
trainment last Wednesday with the
increment of 40 men sent to TT.
Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, was brought
before the Local Board Monday and
by that board sent to Camp Zachary
Taylor, Louisville, KY. under guard.
This negro reported Wednesday
morning in accordance with instruc-
tions, but failed to appear at the time
for entertainment A search of the city
and surrounding territory was made
for him during the remainder of the
week, but he was not found until Mon
day when he had a friend telephone
the sheriff that he was ready to give
himself up. He was brought before
the board and stated that he had been
hiding in the woods. There is pos.
sibility that persons who aided him
in evading the officers and who fur
nished him food will be held account
able for their acts.
Thompson is brother of another
negro selectman from this county who
died in one of the training camps.
His mother is also said to be critically
ill. and the possibility that these facts
caused him to desert may lead TO len
lent punishment of him. This infor-
nation, however, was not given out
by the Local Board and is not official.
