Judge Brantley
For Chancellor

Judge q. A. Brantley, appointed by the
governor to succeed Judge A. Y. Wood
ward resigned in the chancellorship Of
the Sixth district, has announced his
candidacy for that position in the special
election to be held some time in January.
The date originally set for the election
was January 8, but as it did not meet
the legal requirements another date will
be fixed. Judge Brantley is no novice in
the office he holds and seeks to retain, as
he has functioned as chancellor for the
past year in place of Judge Woodward
who owing to i'll health has been unable
to fill the position, Judge Brantley has
displayed distinctive ability and absolute
fairness, and has gained the approval of
all In every county where he has held
court he has the unqualified endorsement
of the bar and county officials. The
Holmes county bar and officials this week
passed resolution heartily endorsing him.

MARKETING IN ITALY
Housewives There Must Hunt
Through Town for Food.
Job Requires Seven Hours of Each
Day and Supplies Are Very
Scanty.

ROme.-Seven hours of each day of
the Italian h~ousekeeper must be de-
voted to buying food. The problems
of the ordinary American housekeep-
er pale into insignificance even with
their troublesome servants when COM
pared to the Italian. Domestic serv-
ants strikes in Italy are chronic.
The recent upheaval in Italian eco
nomics when the government ordered
prices of f%oodstuffs and clothing re-
duced so per cent has begun its re-
action, and the factor affected most
is the hOusekeeper. She must start
to market at seven o'clock in the morn
ing, and is forced to hurry from one
store to another. To obtain a piece
of meat usually takes two hours. To
obtain bread about an hour, eggs
two hours, vegetables, one hour and a
half and canned goods about al hour.
The h~ousekeeper's day starts by
placing herself at the back of a long
line of waiting customers. The line
sometimes extends for a half block,
guarded by armed carabineers. When
the buyer is permitted to enter the
| store she finds inside a scramble for
all sorts of commodities. Guards are
stationed there to prevent any mis-
| chief. If she obtains what she wants
she is lucky.
She treads over the streets a whole
morning, searching for the things for
lunch and then in the afternoon must
start on the hunt again for food. If
she is looking for butter she is usually
thankful to go away with a can of
American bully beef"
1t often happens that her family
must miss a meal, but that is usually
overlooked. 1t is too evident on ev-
cry hand.
Housekeepers sometimes watch a
car of produce unloaded at the rail-
road station and follow the motor
trucks to the store, where the pro-
duce will be sold. When a carload of
eggs arrived the other day, women
chung to the trucks carrying the eggs
t o stores, while others ran alongside.
At the stores the clerks stood in the
doorways and handed out the eggs,
three only to a customer. Some GUS
toners reached over others heads
with their hats, while others pushed
aside the weaker mes
Servants take their rest days by
telling the housekeeper they are go
ing for a day or two. They come back
when it suits them. The days of those
perfect Italian servants" as Ameri-
cans used to call them, have passed,
and a h~ousekeeper is lucky to have
a servant at all.

U. S. CLEANS MINE FIELDS
Five Thousand Men Are at Work
Destroying $5o,oo0,ooo Worth
of Explosives.

London.-More than half of the
mines laid by the American navy in
the North sea, in a field $50 miles long
and 30 miles wide, from the Dogger
bank off the Dutch coast to the Scan
dinavian waters, have been destroyed
by an American m-ine-sweeping fleet.
If good weather continues, the work
will be finished before winter; if not,
the mine sweeping will extend long
into 1920. The operations are under
the direction of Admiral Strauss, who
has his headquarters at Inverness.
Se~venty-ive ships with a total COM
plement of 5000 men are cleaning up
the mine fields, destroying all the
mines, which it cost more than $500
each to lay. The total cost of laying
the American mine field was nearly
$50,000,000.
If the American mine sweepers
have not finished their job by the
fiddle of September, the ships will
winter in southern ports and the men
will go home on leave and come back
Il the spring when the sea is free OF
zee storms. The British mine field II
the North sea contains 10000 mines.
