MEAT SITUATION
LOOKS SERIOUS
Only Three Days Supply is in Storage
In This Country, and Europeans
Are Having a veritabie
Famine.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, June 2sIess
6han three days supply OF meat is in
storage in the United States, and
this is the reason for the effort to in
:duce the people to adopt the pound
and quarter of clear beef ration,
said Food Administrator Deems to
day. He has been notified that the
British beef ration has been fixed at
one pound Of butchers meat and one
Pound OF American bacon per week
per person. Administrator Hoover re-
Gently asked the people Of the United
States to adopt voluntary ration OF
two pounds of meat per week and a
few days ago directed that the ration
of beef be fixed at one and one-balf
pounds, with the bone, or one and one
quarter pounds OF clear beef per
week per person, permitting the use
of other meats to make up for the re-
duction in beef.
Italy has three meatless days each
week and On these days meat cannot
be bought for consumption in either
the home or at public eating places
Beef over there Is ninety cents a
pound according to information re-
ceived by United States Food Admin
istrator Deems from Washington The
sugar ration in Italy Is three ounces a
week per person. Ours is twelve
ounces.

What Hasner Says
Attorney General Havner calls at
tention to the code:
but in no case shan the coun-
q convention make a nomina-
ton for an office for which no
person was voted for in the pri-
mary election of such party, ex-
cept for judges of the superior
court and district court
Havner says:
AT first blush 1t would seem
that the Legislature had intend
ed that these conventions might
make nominations in case any
person had been voted for for
any office, no matter how few
votes had been cast by the cleo
tors for such offices But we
are convinced that such could
not have been the intention AS
the law stood with the amend
ments made by the Thfrty-thipd
general ASSEMBLY, nomination
was bound to result at the pri-
mary whether the person voted
for was named on the ticket or
not, provided he received the
highest number OF votes cast
for particular office, unless he
failed TO receive thirty-five per-
cent1lm OF all the votes cast
for that office, whether the per-
son so voted for had his name
printed upon the ballot as a can
didate or whether his name was
written in by the voters"
Useless to Nominate.
Party men in Keokuk and else
where point out that, under the
opinion, it would be both costly and
useless to nominate men to fill
ticket vacancies. In the first place
1t would cost the unsuccessful cam
didate money to make the race, and
even IL he were successful in OBJ
tanning an office it would be taken
from him under the law.
Under the circumstances, the
ruling OF the attorney general.

therefore have no opposition at the

So under the law, even II a mans

Washington, Dec. 3.-Congressman
Byrnes of South Carolina, who has
been travelling in the war zone with
Congressman Whaley of his State,
and Congressman Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia, has returned alone, having left
his companions in Europe. Mr.. Byrnes
hastened home to attend to Important
public matters which were awaiting
his attention.
There is vast distinction between
the politicians and the people in Eu-
rope, said Mr.. Byrncs: "Thc people
were enthusiastic about Americas as
sistance, but the politicians now
showed less love for us than they did
last April and May"
Mr.. Byrnes further said: "There
can be no doubt that in certain quar-
tcrs there is an effort to misrepre-
sent Americas attitude and cast
doubt upon the unselfishness of our
purposes. l have not the slightest
doubt that the president is in posses
