No Opposition to Elliott

It is certain now that Representative Elilott
will have no opposition in his candidacy 1or re-
nomination by Sixth district Republicans. Inc
withdrawal of the only candidate that opposed
him leaves the field clear.
Elliotts work in Congress has been OF sucn
standard that there is no need of change ana
consequently no necessity for dispute OF MS
claims to the denomination.
Events of the last week make 1t imperative
that our representative stay at his post. Repre-
sentative Elliott's declaration that he would not
return even his candidacy were contested pre-
cluded all thought of his coming back to make the
race. but nevertheless the fact that the only man
who opposed him, gives him the assurance that
the whole Republican party of the district is back
of him and wants him to return.

Food Atrocities

The urgency of food conservation must not be
overlooked. Food is still vital factor IN this
war. irrespective of the outcome of the great bat
tie which is now raging on the western front.
We must fight the battle against waste at home
as valiantly as our soldiers are battling against
the Germans on the field. The Indianapolis
News says:
Much has been written about the German
atrocities. Much more probably will be written
before the war has passed into history. Cutting
off the hand of defenseless child is an unspeak-
able thing. No American would do it. But
many Americans who complain of the brutality
of the Germans forget that they guilty of GER
tain atrocities Of their own.
Frequently man rises when the national an.

verse and he la las the rest of it. He uncovers
his head when the flag goes by-even If cold

Every time he shaves he stops, poises his razor

he admits, he is regular fellow. He could not
go to the front, but he has done everything else

has he?
Some of these well meaning patrlots wear
their patriotism on the surface. They go home
from the office and demand big piece of thick,
Juicy steak, or plentiful supply of bacon When
the coffee comes they place three Jumps of sugar
in the cup because they like it sweet. They scorn
corn bread and demand nothing but smooth, white
bread on their menu. Dishes that have been
tconcocted in an effort to be saving of the vital
food supplies are rejected and there is a demand
for something fit to eat" These men are gull
ty of atrocities. They MAIN the food regulations
every time they eat at home. In public they
fear to voice their innermost sentiments, but at
HONEYWELL, that is different. Every mans
home is his castle, argues the food Stacker, and
when he commands food from the kitchen he is
going to get it or know why. Many men with
finicky appetites learn to eat strange dishes
when they are married. Still others have been
