SToUFER TO RUN FOR
OFFICE OF COUNTY CLERK
Seeks Reelection on Republican
Ticket. Made an Excellent
Official

Abe X. Stoufer this week an
nounces his intention to be candid
ate for reelection to the office of
County Clerk of Seward County.
AS a man or an official Stoufer
needs no introduction to tht people
of Seward county. Everyone who
has had business with his office will
readily admit that he knows the BUSH
ness of the Office form A to z and
attends to it in an efficient manner
AS member of the draft board he
has rendered efficient service at all
times and given the matter much
thought.
Mr.. Stoufer asks us to say that as
member of the Board he has lot
of extra work to do and that he will
be unable to make as thorough a cam
paign as he would like to. Therefore
he wants everyone to feel that even
though he may not be able to see
them personally, he will none the less
appreciate their support in the pri-
mary. He intends doing his best to
get around but the work of the office
is heavy and he says he cannot neg
lect it to make campaign.

A SUGGESTION

The Governor of Kansas has said,
"a Policeman is Spy" Correct.
Next, what to do with him? The
BULLET method" as suggested by a
Circuit Court Judge of Kentucky is
good. Let that be the last resort.
First, let each county entern every
spy for the period Of the war. Do not
let him lie in Jail adding expense to
our Government, but make him pro-
Queer. Let each county secure a
large tract of land and put these fell
lows to work 10 hours a day under
loyal American guards. Equip the
guards with rifles and give them au-
thority to use them if necessary.
After a spy is put to work, for his
first disloyal act lay him across bar
rel and give him 49 lashes. For the
second act back him against wall
and use the outlet method."-A Cit
izen in Tyrone Observer

cent Of the average monthly amount
purchased In the four months prior to
March 1.
8. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
8. There is no limit upon, the use of
other cereals, fours. and meals, corn,
barley buckwheat, potato -four, ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except very small
amount for cooking purposes. and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There Is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
isubsist perfectly wen with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro-
portion Of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton Of the public by further limita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tributiOn as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
trades.

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
q total of IN pounds per week Of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than TX pounds Of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage Of substitutes and 0ne-half
pound of cooking -four, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate Of breadstuffs. maearoni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
brea kfast cereals, containing total
Of more than two ounces Of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
of the householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
One-eighth of barrel Of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter Of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
weight of other cereals.
L. We ask the bakers and gr0cers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery Of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat -four purchases beyond 70 per

I once had the pleasure of hearing two women talk with rather surpris- ing frankness about man whom both of them had liked.
 The one whom he had married was talking to the other, who, after the passing of her crush Git had been no more than thaD, had married another man.
 "Richard," she said (Richard is the man in the case. of course) ''admires you immensely; he thinks you are ter ribly clever and he really makes me quite jealous when he talks to people about you and your painting. But you never would have gotten along togeth- CT, you are so different.

FRANK KEENAN, ON

Frank Keenan in Stepping Stones" ;" a f1ve-reel comedy drama, the Gau- mont News and other short subjects are the attractions at Fox's today.
 In stepping Stones" Director Warde handled Frank Keenan and Frank Keenan handled himself-re- suit: a finished piece of work, smooth running action, snappy comedy and clevcriy written subtitIes. Mr. Keenan can express a world of comedy in his face. He works before the camera like the veteran that he is, and moves through the various scenes with an un- consciousness that SmackS of the reg ular order of things. and not of some of the average factor" stuff. He puts a punch in every scene, and can make a dramatic moment out of the mere act of sitting down or raising a glass of liquor to his lips and at the same time inject a bit of humor. His slight est move calls for attention and reg isters before the camera something to think about. He puts Stepping Stones" over the top and gets you.

A western bunco steerer starts out to rob miner of a valuable mine he has discovered and almost succeeds until Monroe Salisbury convinces the miner that he is about to be fooled. In the third reel Monroe is seen riding down the mountains followed by a crowd of bad men who are trying to kill him. A

Night, is a comedy drama, written especially for Julian EltinSe by clever Marion Fairfax, and allows the noted actOr-actress to display his-her powers of mimicry to the best ad
 vantage. Dick Tavish decides to be a rancher and the fact that he is the rankest new York 'tenderfOot' that ever set foot on a prarie, does not de-
 ter him in the least. Dick is no other than Julian Eltingo the famous i'm persOnator. and the way he wins out on the ranch proposition, of course, through the disguise of a woman makes an extremely enjoyable picture which is very clerer and amusing. Without question the Lyceum is showing for the latter half of this week one of the best vaudeville pro- grams that has appeared in this city for long time. It is a bill that will
