CANDIDATES oUERIED.
East Dover Man Seeks Answer To
Questions.

Editor of The Reformer:
While we point with pride to the
number and quality of the candidates
for the office of governor, we must
view with alarm the monumental
apathy displayed by the voters, espe-
cially in the rural districts. We all
know that the young men have left
the farm. They have gone where the
white lights shine, where conditions
are more attractive, and who can blame
them? The proposition of feeding the
world at price below the cost of pro-
duction is noble, but not popular, but
[ do believe it would create interest
with the old and patient tillers of the
soil who still remain on the job if
the candidates would express their
views on the following questions:
Do you favor extending the bureau
of extension work in agriculture and
home economics to the extent of in
Guiding state economics2
Who is the radical, the profteer OF
the person who kicks on paying profit
eering prices2
Does our present form of progressive
and paternal government have any
bearing on the small town and aban-
doned farm problemg
We know we are on our way. vii
the census returns show which way 6
majority of the towns in the state are
going2

month she sets aside small amount
of money toward provisions which are
to take the place of a cellar full of
canned goods. She bases this amount
on what she would spend ordinarily
for canning materials at fair normal
price, with slight additional sum in
recognition of the general tendency
toward price increase which may con-
tinue to affect commodities for some
months to come But the entire
amount is less than it would take to

AN EXPENSIVE LESSON.

In time the American people may
see the expense and futility of I'M
preparedness. A study of some of
the expenses Of the late war certainly
will show it. Harvey's Weekly has re-
Gently published recapitulation of a
speech by Congressman Newton of
Missouri, published in full in the Con
gressional Record, that should open the
eyes of the public to the extravaganza
and ineficiency Of a peace government
preeipitated into the activities of war.
Here are some of the facts stated by
Congressman Newton:
The records of the war department
show that $1,191, 1s2, $50 was spent for
artillery, and the records of the war
itself show that General Pershing re
ported that only 1873 guns arrived in
France. so that these cost about So,
100000 each or enough to build as
many battleships with.
In aircraft construction we spent
.$1,041 100000, and, as General Perish
ing SAYS, "were entirely depend
emit on our allies. The ordnance de-
partment of the war department or
dered army goods that would have re-
quired for their manufacture 100000
more hides than the entire annual pro
duct of this country, We had SOL,
| 600 horses and mules in the service,
| and for them we ordered and bought
100000 sets of harness and 1,000,-
! goo saddles! To brand these 391 900
animals we bought 100000 branding
| irons, not one of which was used.
These were of copper and the contrac-
tor bought more Of that valuable metal
than he needed for the product We
paid him 80 II cents a pound and then
sold it back to him at cents pound
We had a contract for camp and
field equipment and the contractor
bought a lot of steel sheets and tin
plates, and these he had on hand wheI
the armstice came along We paid hin
full rrice for these goods and theI
sold them back to him as scrap iron
Two hundred gun carriages, not on
ready before the armistice, cost u

The necessity Of spending billion

instructions from Judge J. Whitaker
Thompson to "probe deep and spare

began an investigation yesterday to
determine who was responsible for the
escape of Grover c. Bergdoll, wealthy
draft dodger, who eluded a military
guard at his home after he had gained
temporary release from confinement at
Gouverneur s Island. Berddoll was
given his freedom to search for large
sum of gold he alleged he buried in
the mountains of Maryland.
As outlined by Judge Thompson the
