FOR CARLIN POST.
Hanes, of Herndon, to Run
Against R. w, Moore,
Of Fairfax.

H. carlton Hanes, OF Herndon, and
r. Walton Moore, OF Fairfax are the
only two candidates to qualify so far
for the Democratic nomination from
the Eighth Virginia Congressional Dis
trict to fill the vacancy created by
the resignation OF Representative c.
c. Carlin, according to an announce
ment last night by Gardner L.
Boothe, chairman of the District
Democratic Committee.
Col. Z. B. White, Of Leesburg, whose
friends announced few days ago that
he would run has definitely declined
to be a candidate. ]. George Hiden,
of CuIpeper, is rumored as a third
man in the race, but has taken no
steps as yet to file his papers, accord
ing to Mr.. Boothe.
The campaign is gradually awaken
ing interest in the counties compris-
ing the District which are: Alexan-
dria, Fairfax. Culpeper. Orange,
Louise. Stafford, King George, Prince
William, Fauquier and Loudoun and
the city of Alexandria.
Both men are of such widely diver
gent interests tbat a bitter campaign
is predicted before the primary cleo
ton on April D. As the Democratic
vote in the District usually runs about
six to one, and as no Republican can
didate has been announced, it is as
sumed that the winner will be un-

Cost Of Raising Wheat

The average cost of producing
wheat in the winter wheat area, in
cluding Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska
and Oklahoma, was S1.522 in 1918,
according to averages compiled by
the International Farm congress in
session in Kansas City from 300
representative farmers. This figure
does not include damage from hail,
cost of insurance or delivery to
grain elevators or mills. The present
cost of raising wheat is said to be
so per cent. higher than before the
war.
Estimates of agricultural colleges
place the cost of raising wheat at
prices ranging from s1.565 to s1.913
a bushel for 1918, including cost Of
hauling to elevators.

Soldiers Letter

Dear friends:
AS | cannot write personal letter
to each of you, will write to you all
through the columns of "The Rec
ord.
At tle present, l am with the 3rd
army Of occupation, in Urnitz, Ger
many, a little village six kilometers
from Coblenz, on the Rhine. This is
a very pretty place, as most Of the
towns and villages in Germany are
situted among the mountains which
makes them look very picturesque
l have seen several places of inter
est here, among them being one OF
the ex-Kaisers castles on the Rhine
near Coblenz.
Since arriving over here last Sep
tember at Liverpool England, have
been over the greater part of France
and into Germany. | have not seen
any buildings made of wood since
leaving the United States. The roads
are excellent in France, though they
are behind the United States in
Agriculture.
1 had been at the front only a
few days, hauling ammunition,
! when the "big scrap" ended, you
can't begin to imagine how glad we
were either. l saw two battles up in
the air, and was in several raids.
The roar of the "Big Berthas" shook
the earth, and was like a continual
roar of heavy thunder Death was
staring us in the face all the time.
l have been in the service for ten
months now, and it seems longer
than fve-years in the life Of a civil
ian. There are number of South
Carolina boys in my Co., but only
Evans and myself from Williams
burg county, in the 4th P. A. D.
We are all so anxious to get back
to the good old U. S. A., and most
especially to South Carolina, we
don't know how much longer we will
be over here though. They have us
busy at present, hauling the ammu-
milton the Germans turned over to
the United States, or to the allied
army rather. Although We are not
ducking G-I-cans, each of us are
still doing "our bit"

OHIO WORRIED ABOUT PROHI-
BITION LAW

Columbus, o., May 19.-Just what
is going to happen to the liqour traf-
fc in Ohio after May q when the
prohibition amendment to the state
constitution, adopted last autumn,
becomes effective, is a problem that
is bothering state and local officials.
The state faces the situation of
having a dry constitution but no
statues to enforce it. The General
Assembly enacted enforcement meas
ures but they must run the gauntlet
of referendum next November be-
fore they can become operative and
should the voters disapprove of them
there will be no particular authori-
ty by which to enforce prohibition,
it is said. Anti-Saloon league Off
cials say they have not given up
hope of obtaining some legislation
that will be effective May 27.
Most of the saloon keepers are
planning to quit business May q
and they may have to retire even
before that date. The license year Of
saloon keepers expires May "a. None
has applied for renewal of license
and the time for making application
has passed.
The Ohio Home Rule Association,
the "wet" organization, is planning
its campaign to defeat the enforce
ment bills next November. 1t has al
so started referendum on the res
olution ratifying the national pro-
hibition amendment, but this is be-
ing resisted in the courts by the An
ti-Saloon League.

Strange SuperstitiOns

1t has been wisely remarked that
an ancient and universal belief is
not to be lightly ignored; there must
be something in it,
Odd numbers have always anC
everywhere been held in peculiar rev.
erence, and if that is mere super
stition, then it only proves that
despite our civilization we are still
Superstitiouc.
A hen is always given an odd
number of eggs to be Matched. Why ?
There is no reason at all, except
superstition.
Salutes from warships, forts, etc.
are always given in odd numbers
yet no valid reason can be adduced.
1t is remnant of the "odd numbers
are lucky" superstition.
Virgil records all sorts of charms
and spells practiced round odd num-
bers- never even ones. And we still
after two failures, make another
attempt, and murmur hopefully:
"Third time luck" The odd number
again; and the old superstition!
Seven is the favorite Biblical mum
ber, and old divines taught that il
held a mystical perfection. It's an
odd number. Three is the number OF
the Trinity-an add number again.
Falstaff, in the merry Wives" is
entrapped for the third time. He
himself said: "They say there is a
divinity in odd numbers" because OF
the old belief that the odd time
would be lucky. 1t is superstition
still in vogue.
Physicians of other days always
insisted that bleeding" should be in
odd numbers-one, Three, five, ETC.,
and never an even one.
