provides that "in the event Of the

arises as to whether Colonel Car

be answered in the negative. is he
eligible to command under the cir
substances set forth by paragraph
1876? The War Department holds
that Colonel Carbaugh is not a stan
officer now. but an officer OF the re-
tired list. and that It Is equally
clear. by a parity of reasoning that
he Is not a line offcer--ne IS no
more an officer OF the line than he
is an officer Of the staff. Since the

No group in this any other country is max
ing a greater contribution toward winning the war
in shipbuilding and muniton plants, on the farm,
and the firing line-than labor.
The world will never know the debt it owes to
the wives and mothers in workngmen's homes who
have given husbands and sons to the cause.
But labor will get out of the war than
any other group, for "the fight for democracy" is

SENATORSHIP
FOR FORD NOW
ALMOST SURE
Auto Maker, Twice Nomi-
mated, May Have Totally
Clear Field.

Detroit. Mich, Aug. SIT begins to
looks as II the only question remain
ing in the Senatorial race in Michigan,
is whether Henry Ford prefers to be
elected as a Democrat or Republican.
II Is true that the primary election
has not yet been held-it occurs
August n: as 1t Is equally true that
there are four aspiring candidates.
for the nomination; and of course the
election won't be held until Novem-
ber; but the election may, after all.
be a mere formality.
This is due to a most unusual situa-
tion, as amusing as 1t is interesting.
On Both Tickets
There are three candidates in the
Republican primaries. of whom
Henry Ford is one. The other two
are Truman H. Newberry, former
Assistant Secretary OF the Navy. and
former Governor Chase S. Osborn.
There are two candidates in the
Democratic primary, of whom Henry
Ford Is one; the other being James
w. Helme of Adrian.
Henry Ford Is thus on both primary
tickets, having been nominated by pc
titions from members of both parties.
The Michigan Republicans of the old
line persuasion, are frothing at the
mouth over the trick" as they call
il. played by the Democrats in getting
President Wilson to ask Ford to run
for the Senatorship. 1t was Judge
William F. Connolly of Detroit, Demo-
cratic National Committeeman, who
went to see President Wilson. and is
generally credited with showing the
President the advantage OF endorsing
Ford.
The State Of Michigan is normally
Republican. In 1916 It cast 1886, 900
votes for Hughes for president, to
2S6. 900 for Woodrow wilson.
1t Is expected that about 10000
votes will be cast in the Democratic
primary, and perhaps 10000 IN the
Republican. Ford's friends believe he
will be nominated on both tickets.
The law says a man nominated on
two tickets must choose within five
days the ticket upon which he pre-
fers to run, or be placed on the ticket
which gave him the greatest number
Of votes.
Would be Only Candidate
Another provision says the State
committee Of a party cannot fill a
vacancy on a ticket except when the
candidate dies or leaves the State. If
Ford is nominated on both tickets,
therefore. and is withdrawn from one
by operation OF the law, the vacancy
on the other ticket cannot be filled.
and he will be the only candidate in
the field.
Ford himself Is independent In pol
itics. He has twice supported
woodrow Wilson for President; but
has voted for men Of both political
parties in the past. He seems to have
the knack of doing the thing that
adds to his own reputation.
To innuendoes about the Peace
Ship" the average citizen is inclined
to say that everybody must have his
peculiarities, and that was Ford's. III

THE PHOENIX.
The Phoenix was a mystic bird
Who out of ashes rose,
And with a spirit undeterred
Up toward the skies poked his absurd
But mighty plucky nose.
His looks were never good to me,
He was SO very plain,
And yet i love him for that he
Rose up 80 strong and valiantly
To victory from pain.

DEFENSE SOCIETY PROTEST A GAINST SPANISH MISSION VISITING AMERICAN
 FRONT

The visiting of the American srcut ia France by military experts 9s any nation other than an Ally Of the United States was earnestly protested against by the American Defense Society in the following telegram sent today to President Wilson, and which is signed by MT. Charles Stewart Davison, Chairman Os the Society's Board Of Trustees;
 Noticing an express statement in r. public press that a Spanish Milf tary Mission including experts in all arms purpose visiting the Ameri- can front, We respectfully protest against the visiting on the Ameri- can front in France by Military ex- perts = any nation other than any ally of the Unite1 States"
 The sole purpose Of the Ameri- can Defense Society in calling the attention of the Administration to the proposed visit of the Spanish Military Mission to the American front is to safeguard by every pos sibla means all information regard lDg the organization of American troops on the field Of battle" said Mr. GaYison. The protest against !he spanish Military Mission is not to be taken as an expression Of feeling against that particular na- ton. We favor the exclusion of military experts of all the neutral powers.
 There are, of course, certain neutral nations which can hardly be classed as unfriendly to Ger many. To prevent the sending of any military mission by such beneYolently neutral powrs is, of course, an all important question, and 9 precedent we believe should be established at once; otherwise, it might be hard to estimate American losses in life directly due to infor- nation open to enemy agents in these neutral countries.

PRICES AND COST OF LIVING

The retail price of food as a whole for the United States on May Is. 1918. showed an increase of 3 percent over the price for April IS, 1918.
 Of the 27 articles for which pric- es are received by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, articles-milk, flour, potatoes, raisins, sugar, and coffee-remained the same in price. The increase of TO per cent n the price of onions is due to the new onions having just come on the market. Round steak and plate boiling beef increased 10 per cent each; sIrlOin steak, rib and chuck roast. per cent each; pork chops, 8 per cent; bacon. ham, and rice, ? pe- cent each. Bread and butter inLreased l per cent each. Salmon increased less than per cent. Tho prices of corn meal and cheese were ?

BODY MAKES ITS OWN HEAT
Comes as Natural Result of Chemical Changes Which Are Constantly
 Taking Place.

The heat of our bodies Is, the direct result of the chemical changes which take place in all the tissues and or gans of the body. Brubacker's Physi- ology says that leach contraction of a muscle, each act of secretion, each ex- hibitlon of nerve force Is accompanied by the evolution of heat.
 "The chemical changes" 1t contln- ues, "are for the most part of the na- ture of oxidatlons, the union of oxygen with the elements, carbon and hydro gen, of the food principles either be- fore or after they have become con stituents of the tissues.
 '"The ultimate source of the body heat is the latent or potential energy in the food principles, which was ab- sorbed from the suns energy and stored up during the growth of the vegetable world" When the food whether this be directly vegetable or vegetable that has been transformed into meat by being eaten by an ami mal--is digested In our bodies 1t Is reduced by oxidation to relatively simple bodies, such as urea, carbon dioxide and water, with a liberation of & large portion of their contained en- ergy, which manifests itself as heat and mechanical motion"

THE FOURTH AT UNALAsKA

On the last trip of the Dora to the wetward the old reliable made Unalaska, on the Fourth of July. Unalaska is one of the largest of the Aleutian islands, and lies a bout 100 miles west of Unimak pass It is an inaccessible, out-of-the-way place, but has an excellent harbor. The revenue cutters Bear and Unal- ga were in port, and the crews of these vessels, together with the crew of the Dora and the few whites on the island indulged in one big Fourt' of July celebration. Boat races, foot races, wrestling, etc, was induIged in. The Unalga's crew carried off all the honors but. one, the main event, a wrestling match, which was won by "Shirty" Morgan, fireman of the Dora, who won the first fall in tbree minutes. The sec ond bout lasted an hour and thirty minutes, the referee finally calling time and awarding the fall to Mor- gan.
 The Dora made the run from Un- alaska to Naknek in three days. Here she took on quite number of men from the different canneries. Also fiYs insane persons and four prisoners. At Nushagak, former Deputy U. s. Marshal Paulson and wife and Mrs. w. H. Johnson, form erlv school teacher at Togiak Point, and wife, joined the Dora party. A number of passengers had to be left behind at this point on account of lacI of accommodations. Two in sane persons were added to the list a this place. The run back to Un- alasks took three and a half days. The boat left Unalaska on the night oS the 18th, got into 8 heavy fog. tide and gale in Unalga straits, and was blown back into Boring sea about S5 miles. After round ing to she resumed her journey, call ing in at Sannak where beef was killeG' and taken aboard to the de- light of the hungry passengers.
 Everyone aboard speaks highly of the splendid treatment they ex- periepced at the hands of Capt. NewlandS and First Officer Arthur Meelick. Miner.
