HOOVER GIVES REASON
LOW SUGAR SUPPLIES

"A number Of causes have cumulat-
ed to make our sugar position more
difficult than We could have antieipat.
ed at the beginning of the year." says
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover In a communication
received by Federal Food Administra-
tor Thomas b. Stearns "The in
creased shipping needed by our grow
ing army in France has necessitated
the curtailment Of sugar Transports
ton, particularly from the longer yoy'
age, and has thus reduced supplies
both to the allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some of the accessi-
BILE sugar producing areas have proved
less yield than was anticipated such
as certain OF the West Indian Islands,
The domestic beet and Louisiana crops
have fallen below anticipation. There
has been SOME destruction OF beet su'
gar factories In the battle area Of
France and Italy. We have lost sugar
by submarines.
"As close an estimate as we can
make indicates reasonable expecta-
tion from all sources of about 1,600, 900
tons of sugar for the United States
consumption during the last half OF
the present year. This is based upon
the maintenance of the present mea.
gre allied ration. An Improvement In
shipping conditions would OF course
relieve this situation as quantities Of
sugar are In unavailable markets. We
must. however, base the distribution OF
sugar during the next six months, up
on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop will be
available.
This supply Of 100000 tons neces.
states considerable reduction In our
consumption. To provide three pounds
Of sugar per person per month for
household use, to take care of our
army and navy and to provide for the
necessary preservation of fruit, milk,
etc, will require about 100000 tons
Of sugar for the six months.-Herbert
Hoover.

ABUNDANT RAINS
ASSURE NEXT CROP

The abundant rains of the past ten
days are making farmers smile in
spite of the hindrance caused to the
harvest of the present crop.
Potatoes, corn and feed will make
good crops now, and the breaking
and summer titled land are in fine
condition for sowing winter wheat.
This morning. .cleor skies and cool
winds indicate that we may now look
for good weather to finish the wheat
harvest, and this is most earnestly
desired,
Tractor harvesting has been decid-
edly hindered by the heavy rains so
far, and tn high cost of help and the
light yield is going to leave the wheat
raiser where he will not pay much
income tax this season.

.RAYMER DEMOCRATS
PICK DELEGATES

A large and respectable democratic
caucus was held at the school house
last Saturday afternoon. At least
some OF the men who attended were
large and they were all respectable.
We surmise that the numbers at
this caucus would number somewhat
less than loo, but good represen-
tative body of men were selected to
attend the convention Wednesday.
Here is the list.
A. Is. Allen, Jr., l.. b. Kotouc Chas,
Dhooge, NJ, W. Bailey, w. W. DeHIon-
ey. A, + Pischel and II. H. Northup.
The rains of the past few days de-
layed their departure, Mr.. Dhooge
was marooned near Sterling until
late yesterday. so only Messrs Kotouc
and Allen and Northup of the dele
gates accompanied by l.. Workman
attended the convention.
As we write this, Wednesday, only
surmises can be indulged as to what
Will be done. and we will not risk our
reputation as prophet by attempt-
ing to set ii down at this time.
Thursday morning: Without en-
terlng the realm OF prophecy. wehave
gathered from the returned delegates
"a part of the results of the conven
tion,
For Clerk and Recorder Newton
and st. John are both entitled to
places on the primary ballot.
The opposition to sheriff Finch had
died down and he was named without
opposition.
Spencer of Greeley is given a clear
held to try for treasurer again. DR..
Peek for coroner, and the old survey
or are also named again
We did not learn the name of the

For representative, Iioutehens had
no opposition,
For the other places on the ticket.
Haworlh of keota and II. II. Northup
were pitted against each other. the
former receiving 159 votes and the
latter l09.
The Raymer delegates report that
the slate was all fixed when they ar
rived. but fervid address by Mr..
Northup sent his stock booming and
came near upsetting the fixed pro
gram; and the friends of the Raymer
candidate believe that the primary
election will make him a winner in
September, TO be followed by a No
vember victory

WELD REPUBLICANS
NAME CANDIDATES

At Greeley last friday, four of the
Raymer delegates elected to attend
the Republican County Assembly
were present and took part in the
deliberations to name good clean
ticket to present to the voters this
fall.
Our delegation went over on Thur
sday evening so as to be present and
find out what was going on before
the voting commenced. We can
hardly say that in this We were very
successful The fact Is that states
were not made up to any large eX-
tent. 1t is true that for three OF the
Offices there were candidates and no
contests. These were as follows;
T. c. Phillips of Eaton for Treas
urer; r +. Hanna of Windsor for
Assessor; G. w. Martin for Superin-
tendent: l.. l.. Stimson for county
Surveyor
For Clerk and Recorder no one
seemed to be anxiuos to enter the
race and the Office was evidently
seeking some man, but when il came
to nominations. the names of Chas.
Littell and II. H. Harbaugh were pre-
sented. Mr.. Littell being high man.
Coroner was another Office for
which there was no contest and DR..
Wood OF Greeley was named.
The sheriff's Office was the one for
which the candidates were contend
ing and four candidates appeared, as
follows:
Frank Hall, II. Frazier, Richard
Sedgwick and N. d Bartholomew.
Hall being high man.
For the two candidates for the
legislature, three names were pre-.
sented, II. Il. Tedman, t. 4. Wilson
and Elmer Abbey Tedman and Will
son were the high men,
There was general disposition
on the part of most candidates to let
the high men have the nominations
without contest at the primary elec-
tion in September.
II this idea prevails il will be no.
ticed that northeastern Weld ,Coun-
ty will be without representation
on the ticket, but for this condition
we feel that We have no reason to
blame the organization. 1t was the
result OF our own neglect.
Had this part of the county been
fully represented and united. there
would have been no trouble about Sc
curing one place and possibly two on
the ticket
The ticket as made up is composed
OF great men who stand we'll at home,
men who will command a good sup
port among their own localities.

ORITUARY

Darrell Eugene Barnes, little son of
Clyde and Ilah NJ. Barnes, was born
Feb. 19, 1915, and died Jan. 18, 1918,
at the age of 2 years, 10 months, and
30 days. He was the delight of our
home and the joy of our hearts, and
was greatly loved by all who knew
him. The children Of the community
were his friends and he delighted to
be with them. His rosy cheeks and
playful acts will be so much missed.
The hope we had for him in the Sun
day school that he might grow up to
be power for good in the world is
crushed. We surrender him to the
Lord, expecting to see him again in
that glorious kingdom of which the
Savior says the children are a part.
Funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. T. B. Ashton, assisted by
the Rev. E. D. Schad, and interment
was made in the Wauseon cemetery.

shore,

Oh, little pink rose of your mothers
heart,
Have you faded and gone away?
Has the gardener chosen my little pink
rose
For His loveliest garden on high?
Did he need one more blossom of your
size and hue,
And was that the reason the gardener
chose you?
Oh, little pink rose of your mothers
heart
Have you faded and gone away?

SCOUTS HALT PENNY FAMINE

Uncle Sam has found another real
war job for his great army of scout
uniformed boys. They are to be Or
ganized into penny brigade" and
will make one grand charge to help
relieve the penny famine.
No longer need the little lad, brave
in his boy scout uniform, watch with
envy his more fortunate brother who
has donned the khaki of his country
He can do his part at home, as he did
in the Liberty Loan canvass.
Postmaster w. B. Carlile of Chicago
suggests that the young patriots climb
up to a certain shelf where rests the
penny savings banks of the younger
members of the family, usually sacred
to the memory of Christmas, and have
father or mother change the pennies
for dollars, half-dollars, quarters,
dimes and nickels. The pennies are
to be spent with the butcher, the ba-
ker, the grocer and the landlord, OR
they may be put into circulation in
any other way.
Mr.. Carlile believes this outpouring
of pennies from the children's banks
| Of the country will be a big lift to
Uncle Sam in meeting problcnl
brought about by conditions due to the
war. The post Office is feeling the
penny shortage the same as all busl
ness houses. The government is ua'
able to coin pennies as fast as they are
needed.

A WORTHY PERIODICAL

Through the courtesy of our good
friend, Harmon Gasche, we have be-
fore US a copy of the 'Ohio State
Grange Monthly" for January, 1918.
We have enjoyed looking through its
pages and from our point of view it
is worthy of place in every farm
home in the state of Ohio. From the
first page to the last it is filled with
a patriotism that rings true and that
makes one at once proud that he is an
American citizen and stirs him to do
his best to help sustain and improve
the country that gives him his free
dom and opportunity.
The subject matter of the journal
pertains to the practical workings of
the Grange and the interests of the
tillers of the soil-the great and noble
army of producers who are furnish
ing the foundation and support for
armies who are fighting for Human
Right, Liberty, and Justice, and for
the real progress of civilization.

OBITUARY

Mrs. Lucinda Emaline Parkerson,
former widow of Samuel Robinson
(nee Pocock) was born near Wauseon
Fulton county, Ohio, Sept. Is, 1843,
and departed this life Jan. 20, 1918, at
the age of IA years, months and 5
days. She was united in marriage to
Samuel Robinson in September, 1862,
and to this union were born five chill
dren, two sons, Charles Louis of To-
ledo, and Edward Walker of Napoleon,
and three daughters, Minnie Chloe
Hepfnger of Bowling Green, Mary
Myrtle and Elizabeth, of whom the
two sons and one daughter, Minnie
Chloe, and one brother, John Pocock
of Nebraska, live to mourn her loss.
Her husband, Samuel Robinson, de-
parted this life in the year 1904. She
was again united in marriage to John
Parkerson of Haskins, Wood county,
Ohio, in the year 1907, who lived but
seven months after their marriage,
since which time she has lived a widow
residing at her home at Haskins until
about the first of December, when
she came to the home of her daughter
where she resided until the time of
her death. Mrs. Parkerson spent all
of her life in Fulton county, Ohio,
with the exception of the last few
years. She became a Christian in her
early childhood and has been a faith
full follower until the time of her
death, at which time she was a mem
Der of the German Reformed church
at Haskins, Ohio. She was a patient
sufferer until the last, a loving COM
panion and faithful mother, and was
highly esteemed by all who knew her
The funeral services were held last
Thursday at Bowling Green, Ohio, and
the remains were placed in the re.
ceiving vault.

SCOUTS ARE FINEST LoYALIsTS.

When this affair with the wild men
of Berlin is over and we begin to dis
tribute honors and rewards, something
large and magnificent will have to be
struck off for the boy scouts, says the
Detroit Journal. They are somewhat
overshadowed today by their elders,
but their labors, eager and ungrldged,
are of high Importance.
Is there to be a parade? The boy
scouts must be called out to guard the
lines and to help the police handle the
crowds. Is there to be a patriotic
meeting? Why, there you'll see the
scouts acting as ushers and keeping
the entrances cleared. The youngsters
not merely march to weariness to
further the Liberty loans, but also they
hustle for subscriptions themselves.
There are no more practical patriots,
no Americans more through and
through American.
1t will be a problem to decide what
to give the scouts who are giving Sc
greatly of their best. 1t cannot be
anything small.
