"MEAT BY HOG ROUTE" ADVISED BY FOODEXPERT Dr. H. E. Barnard Says Pork is Most Practicable of Flesh.

INDIANAPOLIS. June 27. "Meat by the hog route" as one of the quickest and surest ways of assisting In solving the meat question was suggested by Dr. H. E; Barnard, state food and drug commissioner today. He said: "The young pig, plenty of corn and clover pasture and a few short months makes a lot of meat. The meat supply of the country can be increased more quickly by raising hogs than in any other way. It takes several years to mature a beef animal. A hog may be finished from birth to pork chops in six months. "Hogs fit into the modern scheme of farming on nearly every farm. They require less labor, less equipment and less capital, make greater tjains per hundred pounds of food fed; reproduce themselves faster and In greater numbers and give quicker "turn over"" of money than any other enimal, except poultry. By-Products Important "The hog turns by-products Into meat at a rate that discourages rivalry. If the kitchen refuse from our cities could be utilized in feeding hog?, our greatest waste would make up a wonderful profit. "Dnlry farming and hog raising proporly go together. The value of skim milk as a hog feed is demonstrated a million times a year. The hog also is an important factor in making the production of cheap beef possible. Hogs In the cattle feed lot fatten on v.asted corn Rnd increase by many dollars the value of every steer. "Now that hog diseases, such as cholera, can be controlled by the use of preventive serums the farmer need r ot face the disaster of seeing the capital inverted in his hogs, swept away in a week. Tho farmer who is not raising hops this year is losing a chance to increase the meat supply and thus serve the country and at the same time develop a profitable phase of farming "

ARMY STILL 50,000 SHORT OF STRENGTH

OXEN WORTH $1,600.

HAVRE. June 27. The price of a rair 'of oxen in Brussels Is now the equivalent of J1.G00, according to information received in Belgian official circles here. Besides a few donkeys oxen are about the only means the Eelgian population has for the transportation of goods and merchandise. Even these are being requisitioned by the Germans.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

WASHINGTON. June 27. With recruiting week half gone, war department officials estimated today that the regular army still is more than fifty thousand men short of war strength, the goal It had been hoped to attain by Friday night. On the face of the returns so far, it is apparent that there has been no general response among men of military age to President. Wilson's call for 70,000 volunteers during the week to fill up the ranks of the regular establishment and thus complete the first big military preparation In the war against Germany. Returns for the first three days, in fact, were below the average of the weeks preceding. They were far below the expectations of officials here who had been confident that the president's direct and clear cut appeal for volunteers would bring home to thousands the fact that their country needs them at once.

America's Entrance Great Aid to Allies, Says Jap Minister TOKIO. June 27. Viscount Ichiro Motorio, foreign minister, in an address to the diet yesterday expressed the conviction that the entrance of the United States in the war, with unshakeable determination to defeat Germany by employing all her force would greatly contribute to the realization of the goal sought by all entente allies. He rejoiced that Japan and the United States are now closely collaborating against common enemies. Their cordial relations have an increasing tendency further to become cemented in mutually and sincerely uniting all efforts. "We cannot foresee," said Viscount Motono, "when the end of the struggle which has ravaged the world for three years will come and I do not believe all difficulties will be finished with this war. "I can even affirm that the greatest difficulties will begin with the end of the war. Then we will need all our force and all our energy to establish a durable peace in the world and defend cur rights and interests."

Stone Buildings, Pounded to Dust By Shells; Used to Build Roads

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, June 27 Hundreds of miles of the smooth white macadam roads of northern France will remain for many years after the war as a real memorial "to the devastated towns which the .Germans left in ruins after their retreat this spring. All over northern France the roads are being widened and re-surfaced with stone and rubble taken from the wrecked house of Peronne, Albert, Arras, and counties other ruined towns and villages. As fast as the British soldiers clear away the debris of the towns, it is piled .into lorries and distributed in heaps along the main roads. There German prisoners toil the day long pounding it into level patches which the great steam rollers, many of them bearing familiar American names, grind quickly into smooth macadam for the business of transport. StCne Crushed Fine The brick and stone of these old buildings makes as good road, material as could be obtained anywhere, and the work of the German dynamiter has been so thorough that much

MINISTERS PLAN 10 CO-OPERATE WITH DEFENSE COUNCIL

TOBACCO SOLD DIRECT

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. June 27. Sweden's receipts from the increased tobacco taxes of 1916, which the kingdom's budget commission had estimated at 10,000,000 crowns when the tax was laid, amounted to 15,290,000 crowns. Part of this sum was secured by the elimination of wholesale dealers, the state monopoly now selling direct to retailers. Prices were increased sharply a few months ago, particularly for cigarettes, which now cost on-the average 100 per cent, more than is asked for the same brands in Germany.

That the Ministerial association has enthusiastically entered into the work of national defense was evidenced by the action taken at its annual outing held yesterday at Cedar Springs. The substitution of patriotic service for the usual pyrotchnics in Wayne ccunty 'on the Fourth of July was up for discussion and a committee composed of Revs. R. D. Baldwin, J. J. Rae and R. L. Seman, was appointed to meet with the County Defense Council to formulate plans for this day. Next Sunday has been set aside as a day upon which the ministers of the country have been asked to preach the gospel of food conservation. This i3 at the request of Food Director Hoover. "To Win War by Preventing Waste" is the text proposed by Hoover to the ministers. Every minister in attendance at the meeting yesterday will devote a portion if not all of his sermon next Sunday to this question. Food saving day v.'ill be made of even greater importance than food production day.

of it is crushed fine enough to need no further i reparatidta. " ' The roads of northern France were always excellent, but they were never better than today. The only complaint travelers had against them in the old days was that the paved strip in the center was too narrow. That complaint cannot be made after the British highway plans have been completed for all the main highways will be macadamed to a width permitting three broad-gauge lorries to run abreast, and even the byways will have a paved surface wide enough to allow traffic to pass easily at any point. Roads Are Dusty Excessive dustiness is the only fault of tho roads today, for war economics will not permit the use of precious oil on roadways. There is little need anywhere in this district for straightening roads or altering routes, because the roads of northern France mostly run straigut as an arrow's flight. Most of the great highways were laid out in Napoleon's time by military surveyors, and their strategic value and importance has always been kept primarily in mind by the French government.

PLURALITY IS

Continued From Page One. cast in Wayne yesterday than in 1916, the biggest unit in the district returned a plurality of 1.383 for Elliott, against a plurality of 1,205 for Cornstock last year. Democratic Vote Shrinks. An analysis of the vote in Wavne

county indicates that the predictions'

that a large number of Democrats in this county had their knives out for Gray were well founded. There was a shrinkage of 2,207 In the Democratic vote cast fo; Qr&y yesterday in Wayne compared to the vote cast for him last November. On the other hand the Republican vote was only 2,030 less than the vote cast for Comstock last year. The vote cast yesterday in Fayette county more nearly approximated the normal vote than in any other county. Fayette is the home of both candidates. The Gray brothers made a desperate effort to carry Fayette but met with decisive defeat, for Elliott received a plurality of 510. In 1916

Comstock carried this county by 334. The vote cast in Fayette yesterday was: Elliott, 2,059, Gray, 1,549. Elliott carried Henry county yester

day by one of its old time Republican pluralities, 1,006. The vote was: Elliott, 2,931, Gray, 1,925. Last year Comstock carried Henry by 813. The total vote yesterday was 4,856 against 7,915 in 1916. Rush Was Debatable. One of the debatable counties of the district, Rush, gave Elliott a plurality of 484 against 349 for Comstock. The

total Vote yesterday was 4,318 com pared with 5,511 in 1916..

Little Union county returned a plurality of "270 for Elliott In 1916 Comstock carried this county by 135. The vote yesterday was, Elliott, 842, Gray,

672. The total vote,-Republican and Democratic, was 1,414, compared with 1,813 last November. In Wayne county Gray carried only seventeen of the sixty-five precincts. In 1916 lie carried twenty-one. Elliott carried the thirty-one precincts of the city of Richmond by a plurality of 533 and he carried the thirty-four precincts of the county outside of Richmond by a plurality of 849. These figures explode the often repeated report that the farmers of the county were almost solid in their support of Democracy. Where Elliott was believed to be strongest, in Richmond, he was, in reality, weakest. The city vote was, Elliott 1,850, Gray. 1,317. Socialist Gets 468 Votes. There were 468 votes cast for the Socialist candidate yesterday and 134 votes for the Prohibition candidate, in Wayne county. The organization the Republicans had In Wayne county yesterday was not a particularly effective one and this fact, in a measure, is assigned as one of the reasons for the considerable shrinkage in the vote. It is also a fact that quite a number of voters displayed an indifference as to the outcome of the election, refusing to go to the polls. A large number of farmers were so busy they refused to vote. The" political interest of the nation was centered on the outcome of the sixth district's election, and the Republican victory now gives that party one more vote in the lower house than possessed by the Democrats. The Democrats conducted their campaign throughput the district on the platform of: "Send a Democrat to congress to stand by the President," but the Republican speakers who were sent into the district emphasized the fact that the Republican members of congress had, as a whole, stood by. the government better than had the members of President Wilson's own party. Rebuke to Democrats. !

Republican leaders also regard the result of yesterday's election as a rebuke to the Democrats for not having provided adequate tariff protection. - The result yesterday, well versed politicians declare, was also a repudiation of Finly H. Gray's record in congress. The charge that he had, throughout his congressional career, opposed adequate military preparedness, that he was one of the leaders of the "little navy" group, had a most

pronounced effect upon the voters.

who have come to realize, "with' the

United Suites involved in the World

War, how much military preparedness

would, have meant to this country la

me present crisis.

The successful candidate, " Mr. Elliott, was deiuged with congratulations today, received from every part of the

United States. While greatly elated

over the splendid support accorded his candidacy he was not surprised over the result of his election. Mr. Elliott

will close his business affaire as rapidly as possible and depart for Washington to assume office. Saw Defeat Early. Finly Gray soon realized last night that he had been retired to private life forever and retired at an early hour. The following statement was issued at the office of the Republican state committee: "It was a ringing, decisive Republican victory after a spirited contest
