FORMER SEAFARING MEN
RETURNING TO SERVICE
Presidents Appeal Brings More
Captains Than There Are Ships
to Accommodate.

The recent appeal Of President Will
son to former seafaring men to vol
unteer for service in the merchant
marine service was met with so
, prompt and enthusiastic response that
the Shipping Board has received more
applications than it can handle.
Many former captains, on reading
the Presidents appeal. left their work
and came to Washington with the i'm
preston they would be sent to sea
Immediately. 1t was found. however,
that captains were coming faster than
ships were being made ready for sea
and that men were leaving their pres
ent occupations with unnecessary
haste.
The Shipping Board today issued a
bulletin addressed to all former cap
tainS, retired or in mercantile service,
asking them to forward to the recruit
ing service at Boston their names and
addresses with list of licenses and dis
charges. in order that they may be
put on the available list for call when
the completion of further vessels
creates Il need for their services.

VOTERS OF MICHIGAN
IN UNUSUAL CAMPAIGN
Will Bring to Climax in November
Situation Almost Unparalleled
in State History.

DETROIT, Mich, October 1o.-When
the voters of Michigan go to the polls
in the November election to decide the
senatorial contest they will bring to a
climax situation almost unparalleled
in Michigan political history.
Henry Ford, choice Of President
Wilson, and carrying the Endorsement
of the democratic organization despite
his announced intention of holding
himself free from all party obliga
tions. will have as his republican OPP
ponent Truman H. Newberry, COM
mander Of the third naval district, and
Secretary of the Navy in the second
Roosevelt cabinet Mr. Ford declined
to make any effort to win nomination
at the primary. while Commander
lNeWberry likewise took no personal
part in the intensive drive in his be-
half. Both maintained the same at
Newberry the victor on the republican
ticket and nominated Ford on the dem
ocratic.
Interest centered on the senatorial
contest from the moment Ford an
nounced that at President Wilson's re-
quest he would accept the nomination
if rendered him. He did not specify
whether he would make the race as a
democrat or republican and his
name went on both ballots at the pri-
mary.
Suffrage an Issue.
Both candidates came in for severe
criticism at the party conventions of
their opponents. The democrats met
first and party leaders scored the ex-
penditure of slightly more than $176,-
900 by Newberry's supporters in the
primary. Republicans, meeting the
following day. countered with the
charge that Ford opposed war and
was an unbeliever in the American
soldier
Next in interest to the senatorial
| light is a proposed constitutional
amendment extending suffrage to
women. The amendment was Endorsed
| BY both republican and democratic
conventions and an active campaign
| has been conducted in it's support.
| Republicans are confident they will
| re-elect the entire state ticket, headed
by Gov. Sleeper. The democrats, how
| ever. have full slate in the field and
are determined to make a strong fight
for every office. Their candidate for
governor is John w. Bailey.

Reddy's Invitation.

The mere mention Of carrots always
makes Jerry Muskrat's mouth water.
Yes, sir, it does just that. You see it is
this way: Carrots to Jerry are very
much like some rare fruit to you-some-
thing that you can get only once in
awhile. Jerry never feels thoroughly at
home on land, you know. He wants to
be close to the water So it is only
once in great while that he travels any
distance on land.
Now, Of course, it isn't often that one
finds carrots near the Laughing Brook
or the Smiling Pool. When they are
found there it usually is wisest to try to
forget all about them because-can YOU
guess why? Because there is very apt
to be trap close at hand. AS Jerry
gained wisdom and learned about traps
in the days before Farmer Browns Boy
rad stopped al trapping along the
Laughing Brook and the Smiling Pool
he had learned how to get the bait
sometimes without being caught, and
so he had learned the taste of carrots
Several times he had been bold enough
to go way over to Farmer Browns gar
den down on the Green Meadows to look
for carrots, but always he had been dis
appointed Other good things he had
found, but no carrots.
Thus it was that when Reddy Fox
told him that he. Reddy. had discovered
some of the finest carrots that ever grew
Jerry was interested. OF course. How
could he help but be? did you say
carrots?" asked Jerry, quite as if he
wasn't sure that his ears hadn't played
him a trick.
81 certainly did," replied Reddy Fox.
81 certainly said carrots. They are the
finest carrots ever l have laid my two
eyes on, and in my travels / have seen

SURGICAL Dressinu Work.

Some skeptical people, who usually

that the production Of surgical dress

done. If they could see conditions in

dreds of thousands Of men are en-
gagged, all previous wars and needs are
outclassed. A great many men are

to America:
Resolved, that while the Increased

peoples, yet It is absolutely necessary
that rigid economy and elimination OF
waste, in the consumption and hand

countries and in North America. 1t
is only by such economy and elimina-

Of the necessary men and supplies
from North America to the European
front can be accomplished and that
stocks of foodstuffs can be built up in
North America as an insurance
against the ever present danger OF
