 BANDIT CAPTIVE

London, April 23 - An American named Love has been captured by Chinese bandits in the province of Shantung, says a Reuter- dispatch from Picking. The American minister to China, it is added, has suggested to the Chinese govo rnment the necessary powers to suppress the bandits and rescue foreign acptives.
 In the last seven weeks five Ameri- cans have been reported captured by bandits in China. On March Il Gtorge A. Kyle of Portland, Ore, and E. J. PurseH, American engineers, were robbed and taken captive by bandits in Human province. The bandits were pursued by Chinese troops and on April 1 Pursell was rescued. The whereabouts of Kyle is still unknown.
 Miss Katherine Schmidt and Mrs. Stanley M. Dixon, American mission aries, formerly of Springfield, S. D., were captured by bandits near the Kiangsu- -Shantung border on April 8. A body of troops was sent out and the women were rescued unharmed | the same day.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan Of selling foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly 70 issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends Communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinfOrmed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before in the nation g
history, officials I'm Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriot
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs. and theirs alone.

War Stamps.

Charleston, Jan. 23.-"We intend to
make it as easy for anyone to pur-
chase a war thrift or war savings
stamp as it is for anyone to buy n
stick of gum," was the statement
made today by P. M. Rea, warsaw
ings vice-director for the state of
South Carolina, in formally announc-
ing a special drive which has been
instituted for the purpose of securing
agents in the sale of war savings
stamps.
Of about 350.000 authorized agen-
cies which the government hopes to
appoint before the first of February.
South Cardinals allotment is 5,489
Df this quota, the state has respond
ed with only "a per cent, only 1875
agents having been appointed through
January Is, according to official ad-
vices received from Washington. OF
81 quotas, South Carolina is 47th, or
only 9th, from the last, and it is this
fact that has prompted the war saw
ings committee to make a specia'
drive towards securing agents. Ap.
plication blanks may be secured from
postoffices, county chairman, or Sc
cond class agents, such as banks, ant
should be signed and sent to tht

be made at once.

stated. "Any individual, firm

sent the check and get the money
and depart. And then, a day or SO
later, the business man would find
that the check was worthless.
The military police were notified
and Major Stanton put his sleuths to
work and arrest of the two men soon
followed. In speaking of the matter
last night Major Shanton said the
business men of the city were so care
less, or so accommodating in the
matter of cashing checks that it was
wonder that more of them havo
not been swindled.
The men who are under arrest say
they will be able to make all tho
checks good.

Two Soldiers Face
A Serious Charge
(Spartanburg Herald

Privates Ora Brazil and William
Randolph, both of Co. d, 1O2d En-
gineers, are under arrest on the
charge of passing worthless checks,
and, according to the military police,
have confessed their guilt. 1t is said
they cleaned up about 5000 during
the past few weeks.
Their method Of operation was to
call up business man in the city by
telephone on Sundays or after busi-
ness hours and purporting to be an
officer in camp, ask for the accommo-
cation Of having check cashed. If
the business man was agreeable the
man at the phone would say he would
send his orderly in with the check to
get the money. In short while the
soldier would appear, represent him

BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock RaIsers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servation Measures.

1t Is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 1.S0O.O 900 head
of cattle were appropriated. This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 2,4OO, 900 acres of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
$l7.76 per hundred pounds: October,
$l7.2S; November and December,
S16.OS. and for January, S14.4O. The
evident intent Of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
total of 12.341 300 as compared with
14,S07 900 in 1918. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally. France Is pro-
ducing only one gallo" Of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad.
ministratiOn has taken steps to con-
serve our flocks and herds and to in
crease their numbers The stock breed
ers OF this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years II has been prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
OF this country to kill male calves at
birth and In many instances the fe-
males If not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense of
maturing them into veal The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance Of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is IS per cent. of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars Of the world have been won
with grease. meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
In war as powder. which Is true
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sentiaf an increased pork production
In this nation. In Italy grain Is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under recent order one-fourth
Of the hogs were ordered to be killed.
1t Is estimated that one-half have now
been killed

Biennial Joke.

Last Monday the town of Win
slow perpetrated its biennial joke
OF holding a primary election for
the purpose Of selecting seven
members of the city council. The
city election for years has always
been considered a strictly non
partisan affair, and never to our
knowledge has any organized
party asked to have candidates
placed on the primary ballot, but
a primary is always held and the
friends of a dozen or more men
file petitions to have certain
names placed on the primary
ballot. Then the city is put to
the expense of $50 or more to
hold a primary, and at it's close
the people are no further along
in the selection of tickets than
they were before, and the same
candidates have their names
placed on the regular election
ballot. There were thirteen men
on the primary ballot, all good
representative citizens in the
community, and it will be an easy
matter for the citizens to select
seven from the number to guide
the destinies of the city for the
next two years.
The primary as held is not
legal in any sense of the word,
because the principal element for
a primary is missing-the filing
of candidates by an organized
party. There are no organized
parties in the city elections.
The same petitions required for
placing a name on the primary
ballot would if filed with the
clerk in proper season, place the
name of the candidate on the
regular ballot for the election.
In preparing the election ballot
no party designation can be
placed over the names of the
different candidates as they can
not be the representatives of a
party that does not legally exist.

War Campaigners.

Under the direction of Mrs. r..
G. Kaufman, who has active
charge of the Liberty Bond sale
in Winslow, and is generalissimo
for stirring up some war spirit,
the two theatres have been hav-
ing four-minute speakers every
night this week. Monday night
Mrs. Kaufman and Miss Teresa
White spoke at both theatres;
Miss Louise Chase spoke on the
flag at both houses Tuesday eve
ming; Mrs. Cannon was the
speaker Wednesday evening at
both houses; Thursday evening
Mrs. E. I. Matthews spoke at
the Opera House, and Miss May
Anderson spoke at the Electric;
and tonight Mrs. w. w. Kelley
speaks at both shows. Tuesday
Mrs. Kaufman spoke at the high
school, and also addressed the
altar society; and Mrs. w. B.
Cole addressed the congregation
in the M. E. church Sunday
morning, and later spoke before
the ladies' aid society and the
w. C. T. U. The ladies of the
town are getting in earnest about
this Third Liberty Loan, and they
expect to bring it directly home
to every person the Importance
of doing his full duty.

Navajo County's Proportion.

The officials in charge of the
third Liberty Loan Bond sale
have apportioned $142,O0 to
Navajo county, and it is sug-
gested that the bonds be distrib-
uted among a large number of
individuals, instead of having
them taken up in big blocks by
the larger investors. On the
theory there are 5000 homes in
the county, one $50 bond for each
home would more than take care
of the amount assigned to the
county, and it would be an envi-
able record to establish. 1t would
be notice to the Kaiser that none
of his cohorts or admirers live in
Navajo county. You can ar
range with the banks to buy
your bond on the installment
plan.

Good Samaritars.

Last Monday a young man was
found on the streets of Winslow
faint and weak from tubercu-
losis, and being without friends
or money was in a most pitiful
plight. Mesdames F. H. Muir
ply and Geo. Heuser being ap-
prised of the conditions bought a
tent and had it erected and sup
piled with a bed and stove, where
the young man could live in COM
fort, and provided him with
meals until such time as he was
able to help himself. Then the
ladies went out campaigning for
the money to pay the bills, and
succeeded most admirably. The
young man will soon be able to
take care of himself, and will
probably continue his journey to
a warmer climate, and the ladies
say the tent and equipment will
be kept for the next tubercuIar
patient who happens to get
stranded in Winslow. the tent
will represent the first unit of
the Murphy-Heu tuberculosis
hOSpital.

Winslow Boys Winners.

With the air surcharged with
Liberty Bonds and war stamps,
and other war activities, it is en-.
couraging and will add zeal to
the work when it is known some
more of our Winslow boys who
have gone out for services are
winning laurels.
Temple Penrod, who had been
in the Third Officers Training
Camp at Camp, Funston, has
passed his examinations with an
average.of 95 in all of his studies,
the highest mark out of a class
of 25O.
Chester and Vaughan LaPrade,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. M. La
Prade, joined the radio corps at
San Diego several months ago.
and last week the 700 boys in
the camp were given examina-
tions to select candidates who
were to be assigned to Harvard
college for five months of special
training. Out of the 700 only ten
passed with the required per-
centage, and the two LaPrade
boys were among the fortunate
ones.
