TO FURTHER LIMIT
 THE USE OF WHEAT
ACTION NECESSARY TO MAKE suBNoRMAL SUPPLY TIDE U. s. ovER-PLANS BEING WORKED OUT IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, March 16.-Further limitation of wheat consumption in the United States is under consider ation by the Food Administration to make certain that the subnormal wis ible supply will tide over the allies and the American people until the next harvest.
 Plans for accomplishing the ad- ditional saving are being worked out carefully and the only bar to success feared by officials Is the senseless hoarding which may be practiced by minimizing and selfish people.
 The seriousness of the wheat situa- tion was shown to day by De- partment of Agriculture report on the supply in country elevators and mills. which is supplemented by frank ad- mission at the food administration that existing flour stocks are only 30 per cent of the normal quantity needed until January 1. Food admin istration officials thought the depart ment's estimate of 1S0. 100000 bushels of wheat in elevators and on farms

ANNOUNCES
 FOR REPRESENTATIVE
LEE cOUNTIAN WHO SERVED IN LAST GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS
 DECIDED TO ASK VOTERS FOR
 SECOND TERM.

w. A. Elliott, who so creditably represented Lee county in the last session of the general assembly. yes terday authorized the Courier-lndex to announce him as candidate for reelection to the office. MT. Elliott's announcement came in after the sec tion containing the regular column or announcements had been printed, hence it appears by itself this week. MT. Elliott has not been overly anxi- ous to enter the race for another term in the legislature, but his many friends over the county are so well pleased with the work he did in the last session that they have insisted he ought to serve again. They very properly argued his experience as a member of the house during the last session put him in position to De even more valuable to Lee county m the next general assembly. MT. Ei- liott is a man of strong convictions and is not afraid to fight for what he thinks is right. He devoted nm self assiduously to bis work during his first term as one of the repre- sentatives from Lee county and made a record to which his friends point with pride. He promises this tn,e' if elected, to use his best endeavors to make the county good repre- sentative and by his acts and votes to reflect credit upon the citizenship of Old Lee.

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
 FOR NEW MEMBERS
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE STARTS ENERGETIC DRIVE TO ENLIST RECRUITS FOR SPLEEN DID ORGANIZATION.

c. c. Kitchener, chairman, and M D. Daggett, James Harrington, w. J. Shorten, J. E. Mann, R. s. McClin- took, Chas. Dozier, Geo. R. Roebuck, Dr. H. L. White and A. H. Lollar, members of the Commercial Club committee on membership, have in augurated peppery drive to in crease the membership of the club. In fact, the committee believes every public spirited citizen in Lee county ought to be identified with this or. ganization, which is countrywide in it's activities. Not only is the committee after those who are public spirited, but it is also after those who are in- clined to be lukewarm in public mat ters. The committee has had catchy and attractive advertising matter printed for distribution both in Mari anna and in interior communities.
 Red placards, printed on both sides with catchy phrases and slogans, were tied to the front door of each business house in Marianna last night. In the center of the card on one side is the question, Are you a member of the Commercial Club?" Running from this center in all di- rections are the following booster lets:" Get in the game. This is your county and town. Join Now. Help Lee county first. Help it physi- cally and financially. Offer your sug- gestions. This is your club. It's fascinating. Ask those who have tried it." On the reverse side were the following: We have spoken to over 5000 people. Did you offer to help? Do your bit. Every little bit helps. Do your part; others are doing theirs. Your time is not worth any more than that of others. You made your money here-spend it here In union there is strength-join the union. If you develop your commun- ity you develop yourself"
 This piece of advertising is to be followed by an intensive campaign to enlist the active cooperation of every citizen of Marianna.
 On Tuesday of next week the com mittee will make whirlwind tour of portions of the county to enlist new members. Six or eight cars conveying members of the committee the Commercial Club Band and others will work Oak Forrest, Moro, Aubrey, Lollar's, Vineyard, Rondo and La Grange. Following this drive other trips will be made to cover other sections of the city. The goal set by the committee is to have one thousand active, paying members in the Commercial Club within the next two weeks.

FARM MEETINGS IN
 EVERY COMMUNITY

March 1. was optimistic and said their best information was that l25,- 0OO.00O bushels was the greatest amount that could be expected,
 Wheat holdings at country mills and elevators on March 1 were esti- mated at 6S.972,O0O bushels That is about 2O,O00.O00 less than was held March last year and S6,OOO.OOO bushels less than in 1916.
 Further limitation of the consump- tion of wheat products in the South will be asked by the federal admin istration if the experiment of confin- ing the flour ration to six pounds month begun today in Texas proves a success. The south is such large user of other cereals than wheat that additional curtaiIment of the sale ot wheat will not work a hardship.
