advance of more than five miles on a
ten mile front. It brought the allies
to the Scheldt from Berchem to

Belgians to push the enemy over the

South Of valenciennes the attack
resulted in an advance OF two miles
on a four mile front and the cap

Conserving Wheat.

Although The wheat acreage of
Englank is As per cent greater than
that of last year, and the wheat
fields of France are making a better
showing than in 1917, while the crop
in America promises to be one Of
the largest in the history of the
country, it does not follow that all
restrictions on the use of wheat can
be removed 10 September or Octo-
ber So far as can be predicted, the
war consumption is likely to con
tinue for some time to come, and
the possibility of a partial failure of
the wheat crop of 1919 must be con-
sibered. With them ost stringent
economy it is impracticable to ac-
cumulate resetve supply that will
meet the requirements of the export
trade and relieve consumers at home
of the necessity of using substitutes
for wheat The country, according
ly, will have no reason for being sur
prised if Mr.. Hoover is unable next
October to tell Americans that they
can use wheat -four as freely. as in
pre.war times The armies in
France, Belgium and Italy cannot
hold the line without food supplies
from the United States Wheat is
the grain that is best adapted for
shipment and storage at the camps
no other cereal has its keeping
qualities But corn, rye and other
grains can be used here without any
difficulty. The country now is con-
suming the substitutes for wheat,
and is getting along very well. No
one has legitimate ground for COM
planning if the restrictions are not
all removed. Conservation of wheat
ought 10 be taken as matter of
course as long as the world is oblig-
ed to fight the Huns.

J. T. Scobee, Through His At
torneys, Hays &c Afford,
Ask for Recount.
CLAIM ILLEGAL VOTES CAST
Case Will be Watched With
Interest by Monroe
Co. Citizens.

Just as the Democrat goes to
press we are informed that pro-
ceedings are being instituted to
contest the election of A. G Dooley
and demand recount of the ballot
We are told it will be claimed that
many illegal votes were cast in
some precincts, that the judges at
some places took too much interest
in the candidates, that residents of
other counties were allowed to vote
and that Republicans were allowed
to cast a Democratic ballot with
out the formality of being sworn
to support the Democratic nominee
at the November election. Those
ch argos may not be woTded exactly
as in the petition but is the sub
st ance as best we could understand
over the telephone
Mr.. Scobee announces that all he
desires or asks is a square deal, not
only for himself but for the good of
the party in this county. He says
evidence of the above charges have
been submitted to him by good cit
izens who insist that the practice of
allowing illegal votes cast, if it so
be shown, should be stopped and
the guilty party or parties brought
to the attention of the prosecuting
attorney for further action.
Attorneys Hays & Afford, OF
Hannibal, have teen employed as
council for the plaintiff.
The Democrat, upon receipt OF
news of the contest. succeeded in
getting Mr.. Dooley over the tele
phone and advising him of the pro.
ceedings, asked for a statement
frC m him to which he replied
Il have nothing to say"
The case will be watched with
unusual interest by our people who
desire to know for sure whether or
not our primaries are properly con-
Quoted.

Ii was about the closest election
ever held in the coaSsy> and any
body's election until the final count.
The campaign managers of the
Scobee-Dooley contest have. we un
rderstand, both been under medical
treatment but are now reported as
improving slowly with prospects of
ultimate recovery unless some un.
forseen complications arise to cause
a relapse.
The ticket for the November
election as it now stands on the
face of the official count is as
follows:
For County Representative
W. E. WHITECOTTON
For Prosecuting Attorney

j. FRANK CHOW

1t is good strong ticket that
we can all support to the limit. In
most cases the candidates have
never held Office before They are
business-like and progressive and
will no doubt serve the county to
the utmost of their ability.

two dollars?
That's the question we want
every person to answer for himself;
and ia answering it, to consider
few FACTS.
We will have twelve high. h.grade,
but distinctively different attrac-
tiOns in our full six days program.
They will consist of musical COM
panies, entertainers and lecturers,
all of top-notch quality; in facts the
very best the ChautauQua affords
<and Chautauqua audiences are a
finely discriminating lot. you may
be sure)
In this statement we ask you
to consider but Three of the
twelve or more attractions. They
are of an entirely different type,
dong an altogether different work,
and about the only respect in
which they are similar is in the fact
that they are all making good in
very big way; and to hear any one
of them would be worth more than
the whole cost of the season ticket
Here are their names: Captain
Richmond P. Hobson, DR.. Jay Will
liam Hudson and George Eustace
Pearson
Captain Hobson's name will be
known and honored as long as the
history of Spanish-American War Is
read and remembered in which as
the Hero of the Merrimac, he gain
ed immortal fame. Later as po
litical leader in Congress, fearless
champion or Arbitration and Inter
national Peace, the original advo-
cate of Preparedness, and of Amer
ica's supremacy among the nations
for his craftsmanship. his great
ability as speaker and in recent
years for his powerful activity in
behalf of temperance and reform,
he is known by all Americans.
Years ago, Capt. Hobson predicted
the present world war and prophesi-
ed Americas participation in it, in
an article in the Naval Institute,
and all through his career he has
worked increasingly to induce
America to prepare. His Chautau
qua address is entitled America
and the World War;
Jay William Hudson is one of
the leading publicists aud lecturers
in America Oh topics of national
and international interest. Also,
he is possibly the best man in the
country at presenting profound sub
jects in a very popular way. Only
within the past few weeks he has
returned from the War Zone in
Europe where he was sent on g
special mission to study and OBJ.
serve conditions, and on his Chau.
tauqua tour this summer he will
tell of his observations and expert.

When the lecture platform doesn't
