There is not a chance for it for he is no more democrat than republican and his platform would be his own. The reason for the Ford publicity is mainly to detract attention from other important. issues .which the News' prefers not to discuss. Os course you are going to clean i lip.

ams county, good churches and a fine 1 lot of people. Ttw town has progressed during the past few years w>d U one of the most attractive places in this part of the country. Tin* merchants are alive and most accomodating and courteous and they are proud of Monroe as they have a right to be. Every American Is urged to eat one mure slice of bread a day. By this action he is assured he will help to use up the surplus of 171,000,(IVO bushels of wheat which the collapse of the torein market leaves on the farmer's hands. It is said that if every member of the family will adopt the suggestion it will do for the wheat growers what all the legislation and price-fixing have failed to do thus far. It seems that in addition to the short foreign market, home 'consumption of the staff of lite has fallen off 25 percent. Thia is partly due to The change in dietary regime which was adopted during the war. It is also blamed partly upon food fads which for weight reduction or other purposes cut down the

j wheat portion in the diet. According to the bakers, hotel and restaurI ant keepers have played a big part in ! lessening the wheat demand by charging for bread or rolls when served with meals. Except in rare | ! cases, qating one more slice of bread I a day will work no hardship on any I American. If the solution of the great national wheat problem is as I simple as this, by ail means pass the I bread! —Goshen News-Times.
