AN EASY WAY OUT

Upon his arrival at Asheville Tues
day night Mr.. Ford said: 81 would
give a million dollars to be out of the
race, and l would not have been in it
but for President Wilson's request"
Mr.. Ford has good reason for dis
gust. The nomination he has received
is nothing of substance. Michigan is
Republican State and will be repre-
scented in the Senate by Republican.
Mr.. Ford, however, has an opportu-
nifty to better his present plight and
at the same time relieve President
Wilson of the embarrassment he suf-
fers through the apparent misunder-
standing which prompts Mr.. Ford's as
sertion that he would not have been
in the race in Michigan except for the
Presidents request. There is a clear
mistake somewhere, for it will be re-
called in his letter to Mr.. Chiffon, of
West Virginia, the President said he
"abhorred even so much as the ap-
rearance of an effort to pick and pre-
fer a candidate"
1t is for his presumed relationship
to the candidacy of Mr.. Ford that the
President is subject of legitimate crit
icism. Mr.. Ford says he does not want
to be in the race. The simple thing
for him to do is to show the courage
of his convictions and get out of it.
He can do so gracefully and save
money at the same time, for if he
stays in the Democratic leaders of
Michigan are not likely to let him off
with ga million" By stepping out
acefully Mr.. Ford would save him
self money and annoyance, would re-
lieve the President of embarrassment
end would add materially to the es-
TEEN in which he will be held so long
as he confines himself to working for
the country where he canlwork best.
He might add still more to that by
giving the million to the Red Cross or
the Knights of Columbus or the Young
Mems Christian Association.-New

Washington, d. c., Sept. 9.-Repub-
1ican leaders here are examining a re-
markable statement just issued by
Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois,
from Paris, where he is on a govern
ment mission. Some people used to
take Senator Lewis lightly, falsely
concluding that his pink whiskers were
the color Of the man. However, as the
Democratic leader in the Senate, he
has been steadily increasing his i'm
portance as a spokesman for the Dem
ocratic party, and on more than one
occasion during the last congress he
has appeared on the floor of the Sen
ate as the mouthpiece of the Admins
tration. The Republican leaders who
know his adroitness, his persistence,
and his very extraordinary ability to
twist facts and arguments to suit his
own ends, regards his words as forces
with which it is well to reckon.
Senator Lewis's predictions may be
summarized as follows:
/. The tariff will disappear as a
party isue.
2. The big isue of the next cam
paign will be the question of govern
ment ownership.
3. Another big issue between the
Democrats and Republicans in the
coming campaign will be over foreign
policy. Dilating on what he processes
will be the Democratic attitude on
foreign policy, he devotes consider
able time to explaining the racial orr
gins of Americans and to suggesting
that our future policy will be dictated
by these origins.
A. The farmers will be heard
from more than ever in the next cam
paign. They will tell us "that their
profits have been limited and their
business regulated during the war,
while others have been getting rich
without restraint because of the war"
5. And last, he expects the war to
be over before the next presidential
contest, which he thinks will auto
matically eliminate the question of
the third term.
Here is fairly definite outline of
the Democratic program for the imme-

Junior Red Cross Notes.

A number of our school Auxilliaries
are framing the certificates which are
sent them. When so interested in
keeping them before them there is no
danger Of their losing them by careless
work or poor citizenship.
Schools organized just at close of
school are Wilson school on Beaver
Island and East Chandler school. Miss
Lalonde of East Chandler organized the
auxiliary in the brief six weeks in
which she was teaching, completing a
term.
The East Jordan school system is now
the only school system in the county
which is 100 per cent Junior Red Cross.
The last day Of school they finished
their quota and are proud of their
record. Charlevoix Central school is
100 per cent and Boyne City third ward,
but each and every building in East
Jordan is completed in this drive. ~
The report to DR.. Cooley of Chicago,
Central Division shows that 216O child
rem of this county are now enrolled in
Junior Red Cross work. This repre-
sents only 33 schools of the potential
rs but there is no doubt of a 100 per
cent county when the teachers get busy
next fall.
Miss Stewart, County Chairman of
Shapter School Committee is resigning
as the work will become heavy in the
fall and division of labor will make a
more effective organization. She will
continue to organize the auxiliaries and
all other personal work which she can
do in her trips thru the county and in
visiting the schools. The work pro-
grams and reports however, plans, and
committee work will best be handled
by someone who can make this a spe.
cialtv bat who is also interested in
scho lis and school work. Mrs. A. G.
Stead of Boyne City will be asked to
accept this Craftsmanship and the ap-
pointment will carry with it the kindest
regards of host of co-workers, who
realize her fitness for the position both
in training, location, and natural ability.

HOOVER ASKS THAT
WE CONSERVE
THE USE OF BEEF.

Our local chairman received a copy
of the following telegram our National
Food Administrator to the State Ad-
ministrator:-
Washington, ID. c., June IL.
GEO. A. PRESCOTT,
State Food Administrator,
Lansing, Mich.
On account of increasing demand for
beef for our growing army we ask
householders not under any circum-
stances to buy more than one and one
fourth pounds of clear beef or one and
one half pounds including the bone,
per person per week. There is an in
creased supply Of pork in the country,
therefore we urge people to substitute
fresh pork, bacon, hams and sausages
to certain extent for beef products.

Our Submarines
inPicture Films
Part of Official Government War
Films To Be Shown Here
Next Monday Night.

American submarines, as far as the
American people are concerned, are
practically unknown and it will sur
prise many Americans to learn that the
submarines of the United States navy
are of much better class and more
expert in the real art Of summarizing
than those of the Germans which are
now being used for the ruthless attack
upon sea travellers.
Our submarines, built exclusively as
an adjunct for the navy and intended
only to put enemy's warships out Of
commission in close naval fight, are
now in the ocean war zone with Rear
Admiral Simms. Some of them were
towed over, but others went over
under their own steam, a feat which
the Germans boasted SO much of when
their Deutschland came to this country
with its cargo and its sharp eyes for all
points which might come in handy to
the subs later.
The submarines OF America, which
go faster, submerge while going at
greater speed, and whose cruising
radius is as large as those of the Ger
mans will be shown in moving picture
films at the Temple Theatre next Mon
day evening, July lst, as part of the
exhibition of official government war
films shown here under direction of
the Michigan War Preparedness Board.
One thousand feet of the finest close
ups, long distances and other views of
these monsters of the sea are included
in the exhibition which total six reels
and gives every activity of the army
and navy in detail.
Cantonment intensified drilling, the
sort that your boy and some other boy
have to do day in and day out in prep
aration for their trip overseas to sink
the cold steel into all the Huns they
can find, are depicted at great length.
The torpedo boat destroyers of the
navy now under command of Admiral
Simms in the ocean war zone are shown
in action, with Simms himself searching
the sea for subs with pair Of powerful
field glasses.
The exhibitions of these pictures is
by no means commercial enterprise.
All proceeds for the War Board 90 TO
the fund for the relief of the depend
ents of Michigan men in the army aud
navy. They are now being shown
throughout the state and everywhere
have been greeted with big crowds
and great enthusiasm. Any person
who has boy in the service ought to
see them, and all who desire to know
just what the army and navy are doing
should not miss them.

NEW VEGETABLE GROWN
BY FARMERS IN SOUTH
Dasheen, Tropical Food Similar to the
Potato, Can Be Raised Over
Wide Area

Washington, d. c. The dasheen,
a root crop introduced into this coun-
try from Trinidad within recent years
by the Department of Agriculture, Is
now grown by considerable number
of farmers and truckers in the South.
1t promises to become a valuable
member of the group of domestic veg
etables such as the potato which
furnish starchy foods. The new veg
etable is closely related to the taro,
which is an important factor in the
food supply in parts of the tropics.
The dasheen primarily Is tropical
plant. 1t can be grown successfully.
however, not only in the warmer parts
of Florida, but in other sections of
the South as far north as South Caro-
lima.
The edible portion Of the plant In
cludes a large central CORN and q
number of tubers of much smaller
size attached to and around the CORN.
The value of the dasheen, 1t is be-
lieved, will be as crop supplemental
to rather than a substitute for the
potato. The fact that the dasheen ma
lures in the fall when potatoes must
be obtained from Northern producing
sections should make the new plant
especially valuable in the economics
of the Southern farmer.
In food value the dasheen is com.
parable to the potato, tho it contains
a smaller proportion of water and a
greater proportion of protein, starch
and sugar.
The new vegetable may be prepared
for the table as potatoes usually are,
or may be made into -four and used
in baking. The tender shoots forced
from the large corms may be be pre-.
pared like asparagus and make q
pleasing dish in that form.

Old Age and Dependency Cause
of Rash Act.

Simpson B. Brown, well-known
and esteemed farmer residing north OF

house, committed suicide last Sunday
about noon by hanging himself from a
ladder in the barn. Mr.. Brown, who
was about IA years of age, had been
failing in health for some time, and
this together with constant worry over
the farm work caused him to commit
the rash act.
