As manly men who have been taught
a respect for the square deal and whose
sense OF personal honor Is keen. they
could not do otherwise than to take the
cause of the Allies as their own and to
battle for il with all their might But
they encounter more direct oifcnse \

WHEATLESS BREAD.

devising a wheatless bread and now it has
declared that the effort has been success
full and it is sending out the recipe. What
effect this will have on s. 80 wheat is yet

20 wheatless bread and find it good
substitute and get used to it and find
ourselves stronger and more healthy for
eating it, what will the farmers do with
their wheatfelds? 1t will be strange day
when wheat goes out Of fashion
But we are sure, by the time the war
ends and the boys come home, We will
resume the good old white bread with
j)yful alacrity We are already beginning
II pine for more Of it than the law allows
There is nothing that can take the place
Of the fine old pastry, the grand chicken
pie dough, the noodle soup and the hot

was as lovely as a dream and the passing
days as gentle as a maiden's PRAYER
But as the new wheatless bread has an
egg in it. it has one redeemlng quality

the Republican politicians fear he world
provr weak at the election 50 they are
appcall ng to MIR Roosevelt TO come "a he
relief of the party Some enthusiasts
demand has nomination hy both the
Republican and Democratic parties, and
his practically unanimous election
Mr. Roosevelt has made no formal
reply 10 these inslstent demands for
his nomination for governor, but he has
received pcrcmptOry notice, from sources
outside of both the political parties, to
keep out of the fight for his own good "
This notice comes from William II
Anderson. superintendent Of the ANTI
Saloon League The league has decided
that Governor Whitman should he re-
nominated and reelected, as he is strong
" IN favor of prohibition. and does not
want any Interference with its plans to
keep him in office
Il IS not probable however that Mr.
Roosevelt Will accedc to the call for his
acceptance Of the Republican nomination
for governor. although there IS little
doubt hc could have il for the saying
Governor Whitman Is likely to be re-
nominated and TO be defeated at the
election unless the Democrats should make

BURGLARS AT WORK
Take Something To Eat And Wear
From Store At Hardy.

The store of X. NJ, Jackson was
burglarized ednesday night Of
last week. The burglars made
their entrance to the store throush
a door of the west side room. Mr..
Jackson believes that there was
more than one burglar, and the
reader will believe the same when
he reads this. Mr. Jackson tells us
that they took 100 pounds of flour,
three l0'pound cans of lard, several
pairs OF overalIs and Jumpers end

The fuel administrator for Ran
dolph county seized a car of coal
which was passing through Poca-
honyas one day last week and dis
tributed it among residents of that
town in half-ton lots. The fuel sit
ualion in Pocahontas was very
acute lately.
Says the Batesville Daily Guard:
"A load of good wood stood on the
streets this morning for at least 80
minutes before being sold This
may have been due to the fact that
no one happened along in that time
with big enough bank account to
buy the wood"
DR.. C. E. Pringle, one of the best
known citizens of Pocahonas, aged
So years, died IN his chair one day
last week. He had been in failing
health for several months past,
but it was not thought that his
condition was critical, and he was
preparing for a trip to Texas.
