pcrs for Promotion.

Judge S. NJ. Hawkes., assistant at
torney general and widely known
Stockton lawyer, has filed his petit
tons as a Republican candidate for
attorney general. He filed petitions
under the twenty-county system and
in a statement announced that he
would restrict his campaign to meet
the expense requirements of the state
law.
Under the state law a candidate may
not spend to exceed 10 per cent of the
first years salary Of his office. BY
this provision Judge Hawkes. may use
slightly more than $500 for postag e,
printing, advertising and general
campaign work, except railroad fares
and hotel bills. He has sert letters to
his friends announcing he will live
strictly up to the letter and spirit of
the state law-since. if elected, it
would be his responsibility to enforce
the law against other candidates.
TT is not that 1 would not gladly
spend more money in the race"
Judge Hawkes. told a friend a few
day ago. But there is only one
meaning in the wording of the law
and 1 intend to obey it"
G. s. Dennison, a well-known Pitts

general. Petitions were filed for Con-
gresham Dudley Doolittle. Democrat,

Peace Not at Hand.
This does not mean that peace will
then be at hand-but the road to vic
tory ought to be stretched out
straight ahead
The west front is now seething,
rumbling and smoking. like a chain of
volcanoes between eruptions.
Germans Are Weaker.
One thing IS certain-the Germans
are weaker today numerically and
morally than at the beginning of the
offensive. .
From prisoners, it is learned that
fewer German divisions are now on
the west front than there were a
month ago. Today there are not more
than five divisions which have not
been in this offensive. Barely a bak-
er's dozen which have not yet partici-
pated in the drives. In addition to
these, more than thirty divisions have
been withdrawn from one active front
and have been training and resting
for three weeks. Altogether linden
burg has about fifty divisions avail
able for immediate action,S whereas
eighty-one were used during the first
week of the Somme thrust-these be-
ing absolutely fresh and specially
trained.

CAN'T BUY BAD EGGS
Food Administration F'orbids Store
keepers from Purchasing Them.

Wichita, Kan, June 21.-The food
administration issued rules today for
bidding store keepers. to buy spoiled
eggs. 1t has been reported that in
many localities where eggs are
brought to town and sold in exchange
for groceries that dealers do not re-
ject bad egg$ because they do not
wish to offend otherwise good custo.
merS.
The new rule says: Dealers must
pay only for good eggs"
The rules are made in an effort to
prevent loss of food. Last year every
fourth egg in Kansas spoiled before it
reached the markets during the sum-
mer.
Following are some of the import
ant features Of the new egg conserva-
ton rules:
bought from the producer and I'M
wholesome eggs must be rejected. Civ
ing the producer opportunity to ex-
anime the rejects"
The buyer must ship promptly
While awaiting shipment eggs must be
stored in temperature of less than
40 degrees If such a cool room is not
available eggs must be tested again
after seven days. If the temperature
is more than 60 degrees. eggs must
be recandled after forty-eight hours.
Eggs which are good enough to ear,
but which cannot stand transporta-
ton must be sold in the community
where bought.
Rejects" shall not be sold for hu-
man consumption.
Every buyer of eggs who resells to
any one OTHER than the consumer
must have a licepse. This rule applies
to country dealers, hucksters and 9TH
ers, no matter how small the business.
Marketing of eggs unfit for human
consumption subjects the seller to
prosecution under the laws of Kansas
as well as under rules of the United
States food administration

MAY BE NEW U-BOAT
Naval Authorities Believe First Raider
Has Conc Homo.

Washington, June 21.-Naval au-
thorities believed today that the first
U-boat raider had gone home and
that perhaps another has taken its
place, Today marked the close of a
week without new torpedoings. But
recent reports of incoming shippers
have indicated that g. U-boat may now
be operating to the northward off Jer-
sey again.
All naval district commanders have
been authorized by the navy depart
ment to offer $1,000 reward for dis
covery of a U-boat base. This offer
is made to stimulate search along
sparsely settled coast lines either in
this country or to the south.

STILL PROBE WIRE FAKES
Practice May Have Been General All
Over United States.

Washington, June 21.-An investi-
cation by the department of justice is
being made today to determine wheth-
er government messages were trans
mitted by the Western Union Tele-
graph company by messenger instead
of wire.
If this were done, it was stated,
it would constitute a fraud against the
United States, punishable by heavy
fine or imprisonment.
Following the seizure yesterday of
great masses of messages sent by
messenger, but camouflaged to APP
pear as having been sent by wire, the
government today is determining upon
it's next step. Postmaster General
Burleson will confer with President
Wilson late today.
May Have Been Nation Wide.
Further investigation by postal in
spectors and the district attorney
which may bare a nationwide prac-
tice on the part of the Western Union
in delivering inter-city kilograms by
train, is continuing, it was stated al
the postoffice department.

A general policy of stimulating oil
production is being initiated by the
government to offset the tremendous
ly increased demand for war purposes.
which is not being equaled by the
growth in output. AS custodian of un-
touched Indian lands in Oklahoma, Wy
oming and other western states, the
government is the holder of the largest
amount of oil-bearing territory in the
country, from which must come most
of the additional fuel needed to supply
the Navy and the big fleet Of oil-burn-
ing merchant ships built by the ship
ping board.
These Indian lands are being opened
for development as rapidly as condi-
tions warrant. Applications for leases
in the Shoshone territory Of Wyoming
are being made in increasing quantity.
The third big block of Usage lands in
Oklahoma will be leased at public sale
in Pawhuska, May IS. the date having

its continuously increasing use for in
dustrial and other purposes, has made

Every motorist qhould realize that
the fuel mixture which affords the

gasoline consumed, is not the mixture
which results in the highest maximum

In other words, the most economical
mixture is not the one which gives the
utmost in car performance, but is a
somewhat leaner mixture. AS a matter
