COUNTY OF RALEIGH
STRONG FOR ELKINS
Sheriff Foster and Committee Chair
man Scott S onsly Endorse the
Majors Candle = a Say He viii
Garry That County.


In an interview published in the
Enquirer OF July Sd, Sheriff w Lee
Foster, Of Raleigh county, AN author
ity on political situations in his sec
ton Of the state, and who, in 1916, was
one Of the strongest supporters Of
Hon. A. A. Lilly for the goxernorship,
his this to say of Major Davis Elkins'
candidacy:
4 know of no man better fitted to
represent West Virginia in the United
States Senate than Major Davis FL
kins, and in my opinion Raleigh coun-
ty will 60 for him. Our citizens with
sons at the front, and ready 10 go,
fully appreciate the fact that Major
Elkins KNOWS the needs OF our boys
e1 listed from Raleigh county, for he
himself has been found not wanting
ii the 6nal test of real action and pa
tEiotiam, and knows their needs.
West Virginia is naturally a Repub-
Ecan state, and there is no reason why
it should rot send Republicans to Con
gfess as well as in. other years. The
Republican party owes it to itself to
sead such a man as Major Davis FL
lsins. Ills entire time and energy are
given to the Government His recent
declaration of purpose and intent
proves that he stands ready to do any
lding to promote the progress Of his
natiye state as a safeguard against any
possible tendency on the part Of an
unwielay majority TO lose sight Of the
general welfare and advance political
interests. Republicans are needed in
the Senate and House and any effort
to put stop to the usdal campaigns
and free choice by the people of the
+ representatives in the Senate and
House would be a grave mistake. Ra-
l9igh county wants Major Davis Elldns
and ia niy opinion the county will be
carried by him by a large majority"
p. Glyde Scott, Republican County
Chairman Of Raleigh County, and also
/ a member OF the State Executive Com
m;ttee, said
While the field is an open one for
the numerous candidates, Raleigh
county is inclined very favorahly to
Major EiEins It is statistically stated
that rs per cent Of the Republicans
/ represer ted senatorially are sticking
like a brother" to President Wilson
West Virginia must uphold her status
in the ranks of Republicanism, and
Major Davis Elkins seems eminently
fitted to WELD an influence fer the
good of our state.

When a newspaper gives you lot
of free advertising in order to boom
some concert or church entertainment
which you are interested in, keep
track of the number of lines that are
printed week by week, and multiply
that number by the regular advertis-
ing rates of the paper. Compare the
results with the actual money value
of any favor that you can get from
any other business concern. Then
take into consideration the fact that
advertising and circulation are the
only two things that newspaper has
to sell, and in these days of higher
prices, how much do you think they
ought to give away for nothing?

Gloves.

Gloves are the dried unexpandcd
flower buds of tree. The corolia
forms ball on the top between the
four teeth of the calyx, and the stalk
is the immature ovary. They are at
first green, then turn yellow, and fin
ally bright pink or scarlet. In this
last stage they are ready to be picked
If allowed TO remain longer on the
tree the flowers expand, become fer
tilted, and the stalk Of the Glove then
develops into succulent purple berry
containing one or two seeds. This is
known technically as the mother

Whew! It's hot! Who said there

No real relief from the weeks hot
spell was in prospect at the Baltimore

greater "stickiness" in the air is likely
to make today the most uncomfortable
of the present heat wave, even though
the maximum temperature for this aft
ernoon is likely to be lower than on
previous days.
There may be bit of temporary re-

that local thundershowers will de-

WARNS SOLDIERS
TO SHUN LETTERS

The danger of valuable military in
formation being communicated to the
enemy and the necessity of closing
every possible gate against enemy
propaganda, were the explanations
given at the War Department yesterday
for an order forbidding all officers and
men from entering into correspon-
dence with strangers in response to
advertisements or other invitations
Efforts are constantly being made
by strangers" the order declares, ito
find soldiers with whom they may
correspond, in most cases innocently
enough, but the opportunity which
might be offered to a wholesale prop
uganda by well organized groups of
enemy sympathizers is obvious"

TOSS HATS IN WATER,
NOT IN THE RING

Instead of tossing their hats in the
ring" the U. S. Marines now toss EN-
in the water.
Tossing theirs hats in the ocean for
luck was adopted as one of the marine
customs when a gust of wind snatched
the chapeau of recruit while he was
crossing the bay off Paris Island, S. c.,
the marines training camp. The lid
sailed gracefully out into space and
was soon bobbing merrily on the dane
ing waves.
Taking the accident as a cue lust
for luck" the remainder of the recruits
Immediately sailed their hats out in
TO the deep and the bay was soon dot
ted with hundreds of straw hats.
The boys passed the word" and now
no recruit can expect TO have good
luck unless he has cast his hat upon
the receding tide.

GUM NOT A LUXURY
BUT A NECESSITY
Aviation Commander Also Urges
Bountiful Supply OF Old FASH
Toned Candies

Representative Gould, of New York,
who has introduced a bill to include
candy and chewing gum in the rations
of the American soldier, quotes Major
Cushman A Rice, who had command
of the American air forces with the
British during the first portion of the
German offensive this summer. in ia
vor of supplying the soldiers with
both candy and gum.
Major Cushman A. Rice" says Rep
resentative Gould, soldier of fortune,
big game hunter and world traveller,
has just returned from the European
front, where he has been in command
OF the American air forces fighting
with the British. Major Rice declares
that without reservation, chewing
gum is a necessity
Il would not think of taking TO the
air without an ample supply of gum"
says Major Rice "If, after ascend
ing, l find that | am without it,
Immediately go back after some l al
ways carry several sticks in each of
my pockets. Every fellow does. Why?
Because it creates saliva, preventing
the mouth from becoming dry and
prevents thirst. Chewing gum in my
case is not luxury, it is a necessity"
Major Rice declares that he always
kept a large supply of gum on hand,
and carried it with him, because it is
scarce and hard to obtain in France.
He declares that in addition to pre-
venting thirst, gum allays nervous
ness, helps digestion and satisfies a
craving for liquor 1t also comes in
fine, he says, where the boys cannot
smoke in the front line trenches
Major Rice's observations are con-
firmed by army and navy surgeons.
THE boys need candy. Also says
Major Rice They want the old fash
Toned brands, the kind they used to
get back home"

NAVY SOON TO MAN
MOST OF THE SHIPS

Secretary Daniels has confirmed re-
ports that the Navy Department is
preparing to extend it's control of
shipping used for military purposes.
Although it was decided long ago that
the manning of all transports and
supply ships would be left to the
Navy, a considerable number of ves-
sells in both classes still have civilian
crews.
Under the plan all transatlantic YES
sells being used to carry war supplies
to the allies or raw materials to be
used in making supplies would be
manned by naval crews.
That would place the great bulk of
all American deep-water tonnage un-
der the Navy.
