 Bedding, June 13.---Not being mind ful of t31e provision made by the Leg islature for taking the soldier view most citizens were surprised at the warnings posted for political caucuses this week. The Republican caucus was held on Wednesday evening and that of the Democrats is called for this CThursday) evening. The former left. for the future nominations for representatives, justices and judge of probate while the Democratic call in cluded naming of these candidates and also the election of delegates to all the conventions. The three classes of candidates above mentioned go upon the State ballot to be voted in November, but will not be placed on the ballot to be sent the soldiers blank spaces instead being left in which the soldier voter may write the names of his choice. Consequent ly nominations for these positions at the present time are not really essen tial, and the Democratic caucus may decide to defer them.

These informal observances began when Mrs. Lyon reached the age of 90 and Thursdays callers declared that meanwhile time had apparently stood still with her Certainly her mental powers have suffered no de- cadence as was evidenced by her reading of some verses which she re- gently composed.

EAT SAUER KRAUT
 AS WAR MEASURE

Millions of pounds of cabbage will
 be wasted and production discouraged if the German derivation of the term
 sauer kraut is permitted to engender
 prejudice. The spread of such pre- judice in the last few weeks has caus- ed Food Administrator Hoover to take official notice in a bulletin deploring agitation against sauer kraut.
 "Sauer Kraut is a good American product, regardless of the name it
 bears says Dr. R. J. H. DeLoach, az riculturaI expert with Armour and Company, "and it behooves Ameri-
 cans to eat more of it than they have in the past, not only to prevent a possible waste of millions of pounds already packed but also to cause great CT quantities than ever to be grown
 and packed this summer and fall.
 Sauer kraut is not needed by our al- lies but nearly everything else in the 1 food line is, and the more kraut we eat the more we will have of other foods to send abroad.
 Under normal conditions the av-
 craze American eats about two | pounds of kraut year. We should
 be eating a great deal more because the product is wholesome and so rich
 in mineral salts that it is very bene-
 f1cial to the digestion. Recognition
 of it's value has caused it to be made part of the rations of our soldiers and sailorss
 "Cabbages can be grown in great
 quantities but only for a few months
 in the year and they are not easily kept fresh. Turning them into sauer
 kraut is the logical way to distribute
 them over the seasons. As the de-
 mand for kraut increases, production
 will keep pace and the consumers will benefit in health while aiding the na- ! ton to meet the demands of our al- l lies for more food.'

Gold Glass

This process makes for durability. Acid-etched, this term means that the pattern is etched out on the glass with acid and it is then filled with gold. The glass is very clear and perfect. The gold borders are most effective, being in classic designs. One or two pieces will add greatly to the table. The pieces are for the most part fruit bowls, plates for var ious uses, vases, candy jars, almond sets and sugars and creams. An iced tea set with large covered jug has tall, straight tumblers with wide gold borders.
 $ In connection with this display some remarkably fine specimens of gold encrusted china, bowls and vases.
