thing for this town and county to have

nifty. Wherever he goes he is boost
,ing for his home county. II we send
him to Washington our town and

IRepublicans alike agree on the prop
sition that Fremont county ought to
forget politics this year and give
Hardy practically unanimous vote
iat least 1900 or 1.2oo majority. That

Democrats may be assured that Mr.
Hardy will better support President
Wilson in his war program than MI.

Although Federal Food Admins
TRAITOR Walter lines has been working

Q shortage Of feed for livestock In
the state this coming winter, the
Food Administration warns.
Last week Mr.. Innes was in WASH
ington working ON the problem Of
forcing all the wheat still left in this
state TO b kept here for milling pur-
poses. II wheat for export were
bought In the northwest where there
% an abundance Of feed for stock and
flour to fill government contracts was
bought in Kansas, that would mean
that the bran and shorts would be
left here.
But the leaving Of bran and shorts
In the state IL not enough to settle
the entire question.
The Food Administration has given
out several suggestions. One Of these
10 the save the straw stack suggeS-
ton. Farmers who are actually short
Of feed will save their straw, but
those who have an abundance are not
protecting It. Straw stacks are often
built 30 they win not shed water. II
they were constructed to Withstand
q wetting they would provide much
good roughage.
OF course the farmers win use the
silos as never before this year and
they will put up all the forage crops
they can find TO cut. Kansas could
produce enough prOvender to feed its
livestock through the winter II every
thing was conserved. Lack Of man
power and carelessness in counties
where rains have been abundant will
cause loss Of much good stock feed.
