The Attorney General charged that

GOVMT. TAKES OVER
ENTIRE WOOL CLIP
FIRST ALLOTMENT FOR MILL
TARY d7IEQUIREMENTS-RED
GROSS COMES IN SECOND.

Following the recent announc lament
by the War Industries Board that the
Governments had taken over the entire
wool clip of the country for the ensu-
ing year, plans are announced for the
handling of all available wood in order
that the immediate military needs of
the Government be satisfied.
Stringent methods for the conseava-
ton of raw wool for military purposes
had become SO necessary that con-
ference was called between represent
tatives of the wood-commodities Sec
ton of the War Industries Board and
the American Red Cross. AT the close
of the conference the following joint
statement was authorized:
lit is obvious that the first allot-
ment of this wood must go to the inifi-
tary requirements of the Governni ent,
and that any surplus remaining will
first DE used for filling the require.
ments of tire American Red Cross, as
next in Importance to the prosecution
of the war.
In view of the uncertainty in
ocean shipping, it can not be definite
ly known at this time as to what
amount of wool. if any, will be avail
able for Red Gross purposes, after the
original military needs of the Gov.
eminent are satisfied. 1t is believed,
however, that unless unforeseen con-
ditions arise, moderate quantity OF
wool will he available for the Red
Cross. Me-
Furthermore, in view of the prob
able scarcity of wool, it lis earnestly
desired that the use of wool yarns for
nonessential purposes be discouraged
in every possible manner.
-'The War Industries Board will
hold the department of supplies at
national headquarters Of the Red
X Gross strictly responsible for the re
. lease of any wool required by manu-
factHrers for Red Cross purposes
The Red Gross is required to ADOPT

ASKS DEMOCRATS TO
NOMINATE Chiffon
ATTORNEY osENToN TELLS To-
CAL AUDIENCE THAT HE IS
BEST BET.

From the steps of the county court
house last night Hon. c. w Osenton,
a Fayetteville attorney, addressed q
fair-sized audience in behalf of ex-
Senator William Il. Chiffon. of Char
lesion, who is candidate for the
nomination to the Senate on the
Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Osenton was introduced by
Charles w Boyer. OF Bunker HILL, q
prominent Democrat OF the county
After his introduction the speaker re-
ferred to the great thing of interest
now to the American people--the war
and said that The knew the eyes
of America were bothered more about
the western front than politics.
Thinking it wise to obliterate po.
litieal campaigns this year, owing to
the period through which the nation
Is passing, MIR. Osenton stated that
leading Democrats of the state had
attempted ta compromise with IRepnb.
licans i'm order that primary and an
election might be avoided. but that
the G. o. p would not consent and
therefore 1t is necessary that an cleo.
ton be held.
After talking several minutes the
speaker referred to the candidacy OF
MIR Chiffon. giving his reasons why
the Democrats OF West Virginia should
choose him DIS their nominee for the
upper house, and pointing out the
good record made by him while serv
iro N that body.
4r. Osenton gave many reasons
why he believed the people would
elect Senator Chiffon instead of Sen
ator Watson. One OF his principal ar.
guments was that the 1aboring people
would stand behind the former This
he said, he could prove by letters
from members OF unions throughout
West Virginia. He also pointed out
many other instances which strength
ened the case OF Mr.. Chiffon, the chief
of which was his activity while in
the Senate.

AND BRINGS PURSE BACK TO

STOLEN.

A run of a few blocks, which SEEM
ed like a marathon race to City Re
corder John H. Zirkle, early this
morning, resulted in a pocketbook be-
ing returned to its owner, after

tempted 10 get away.
The incident occurred about 8
O'Clock, when a lady purchaser at one
of the market stalls, dropped her
purse. The colored boy, standing near,
picked it up, and ran at a rapid pace
down Queen street Seeing the lad
fee. Mr.. Zirkle, who was standing
near, took after him and after run
ming a few blocks located him, and Sc
cured the purse.
Mr.. Zirkle, who was out Of wind
managed to ask the lad what he meant
by stealing the purse, and the latter
replied that he was going to take II
to its owner This seemed queer nc
the recorder, who brought the money
and the boy back to the market place
On his way a woman stopped hin
and claimed the purse, but as she could
not describe it,, it was not given nc
her. Later the real owner was fou nc
at the city hall. The boy. owing tc
his youthfulness, was released.

another severe jolt will be admins

nation making meatless and wheat

meatless and wheatless days will
probably be three each week
Food Administrator Hoover is alb
sent from Washington today on a
vacation. 1t is learned on good au-
thority that when he returns, revival
lied by a period of rest, he will issue
new regulations for the Nation con-
tanning provisions more drastic than
anything heretofore attempted.
The American Commission sent to
Europe to ascertain actual food con-
ditions has returned, and it's observa-
ton of conditions abroad will be the
basis of the movement to further
report will be made public on We'd
nesday morning.
The vital necessity of our exporting
between now and Sept. 1, the time
when the ney crops of our allies will
be available, 100000 bushels of
wheat and greater quantities of fats
than has been thought necessary here
tofore is the reason for the new food
regulations.
The American Food Commission will
formally submit to Mr.. Hoover this
week a report, which has already been
made. Informally, calling for greater
'ood sacrifices on the part of the
United States if our expeditionary
forces, the Allied armies and the civ
ilian population of Great Britain and
France are to be adequately fed dur
ing the next eight months.
The report of the American Com
mission is formulated on data secured
by tours of inspection, conferences
and personal contact with the soldiers
and civilians of the Allied countries,
including high governmental officials,
and especially those responsible for
the food supply.
The ability of Britain and France
to produce food crops was carefully
/ investigated, and the situation of the
American commission was not one to
, inspire optimism. They found cond1-
tons growing steadily worse, and the
only rift in the clouds was the unmis-
taxable evidence they secured that
conditions in Germany are becoming
acute with greater rapidity than in
| either France, Great Britain or Italy.
It will not be the policy of the
American government to pin its faith
| to an economic collapse in the Cen
! trail Powers Immediate steps are tt
/ be taken, in the light Of the repor'
of the American commission, to pro
vide a surplus of foodstuffs for ex
