Every voter of Adams county should read the platform adopted by the democrats in state convention ■Wednesday. It is we believe the greatest document of its kind ever offered in this state and the men who write it mean just what they say. They axe for the government, they are for the people and they say so in terms that cannot lie misunderstood. Head it carefully, study it and then compare it with the tedious and difficult to understand platform adopted l,y WilUHays a short time ago Then make your choice of where you want to stand. Get into the war work. Every man and woman is needed. There is some thing important for you to do. Y®r nation is asking your aid and you must give it. Help put over the Thrift Stamp quota, help get the pledges, help in the food conservation work, help the boys of the deferred classes on whom is now falling a large part of the active work who must make good to maintain their position in the classification, do enough ■work that your own conscience feels alright about it. When you have done that you will have done your full jpart for your conscience will not let l>ou stop short of that. It begins to look as though the central powers had shot their big store of ammunition and that their men have lost their punch. The fifth offensive on the west front this year was checked almost before it began and the long talked of Austrian offensive on the Italian front looks like a nuisrabJe failure in which the enemy lost much more than they gained.

Barnard, Federal Food Adminintrator sos Indiana. ' Indiana hotels and restaurants have been directed by Dr Barnard to re- . frain from placing on their menus or serving boiled beef for more than two meals weekly, beefsteak for more than one meal a week; and roast beef for more than one meal a week. Householders are asked under no circumstances to buy more than one and one fourth pounds of beef per week, clear, or one and a half pounds with bone, for each member of the household. The use of pork and pork products in substitution is urged. The rule is expected to hold until September 15. For making a false affidavit that they had not purchased any sugar on contract, the establishment of Zara • fonetis Brothers of Clinton, Indiana, _ was ordered closed by Dr. Barnard. The firm was found to have 2.000 pounds of sugar in transit from a Chicago wholesale house when it made application for an allotment of 9,100 pounds for ice-cream and candy mak ing purposes. Dr. Barnard directed W illiam C. Wait, food administrator of Vermillion county, to close the place. George K. Johnson, president of the Indianapolis Retail Grocers' Association, has joined the staff of Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administra tor for Indiana, to have charge of the retail grocers' division. He will work without compensation, and devote himself immediately to the task of establishing a system of price report ing and interpretation, such as has been effective in maintaining uniform retail prices in other states." John H. Bergdoll, county food ad ministrator for Ripley county, was authorized hy Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indi ana. to seize all sugar in excess of 25 pounds shipped into his county for individual consumption. Mr. Berg* i doll reported the shipment of 100 pounds of sugar from the Kroger [ Grocery and Baking Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mary Shook of Milan, Indiana. The firm has been warned against this infraction of th® rule. Every church and every lodge in * Indiana has been asked to nominate a member who shall serve as a deputy foed administrator. The chief duty ’ to be asked of these deputies is to asI sist in the dissemination of informa tion and literature bearing upon the food administrations program. Indiana United States food club • presidents will meet in state-wide conference at the Claypool hotel. Indianapolis. June 27. The meeting is expected to include representatives -of every township in the state. The sale of sugar and flour on pub- • lie except, by established • dealers who serve customers with other staples every day, is forbidden , by the food administration. Sales of sugar have been limited to 1 two pounds to city customers and five pounds to rural customers, and the s assurance of supply to manufacturers of non-essentials has been withdrawn. ' Soda fountain operators have been 7 ’ cautioned not to serve sundaes or special drinks requiring sugar syrups. I The sugar situation is serious and the strictest conservation and limits tion of the rations of each individual . to three pounds per month is absot lutely necessary if the housewife Is to be supplied wit) her canning and preserving rixuireiuents.
