Farmers and Speculators are Refusing to .Sell at Fixed Price.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ort. ',. -Millers In Indiana are f.idr.g a whc.it famine. Th scarcity of pr.tin is not due to it not being rai.- !. but h due to the fart that the fanners, and in some instance- persons who hae purchased from th farmers, are refusing to hell to the mills at the price hxel by the kov ri.r.ient, although that price Is the high st on recorrl for harvest time. Reports that some of the- mills are running on a d.ty to !ay supply, and the largest in the ."täte have hut a 10

The situation in this state is that to- millers haw pledged a definite amount of flour to tin government fr the use of the army and navy. The mil!ers now say they are having gnjt dithculty In keeping their pledi:e-i because they ran not get the grain grind in sutücient quantit if.

(iocrnin"Mt May Act. The consensu of opinion, however, is that if the farmers and grain owners continue to refuse to sell to the mills and the supply of f!our for the army and navy is curtailed, the government will take the necessary action to gt the wheat. Such steps are being considered in this state, it Is said, hut as -t only as a matter of being ready for Inter 1e elopment?. One state nrrirfal. in discussing the situation, said that In his opinion iny farmer or othr person who has wheat and won't sell at the. government price, and curtails the output of flour Is in the class of a speculator, profiteer and Is unpatriotic. . . . , . i t i .

In the war. ho paid. Dr. Harnard declared the mills must h:tv wheat. II asserted the government docs not want to conscript wheat. It wants to pet its supplies through the voluntary acts of the producers, hut if necessary the government will tako whatever action is necessary to keep the mills supplied. Persons who are familiar with the financial situation of the farmers in this state say that it is unusual. Most of them have made FUrtlcient money during the past year, howver. not only to keep themselves financed without having to place their crops on the market ns soon as harvested, but many of them hre pair! off mortgages and old deM. That, it Is explained, accounts to some extent for the slow movement of grain this year.

We might bring them out to camp this is going to some nice place when we get things tixed up and the weather gets cold. "Many enthusiastic letters have undoubtedly la-en written home hy the ,hoys most of them probably ii ie he-u enthusiastic, for the hoys want to send hack irool cheer and they're not grumblers. Everything

ha-n't -hen lovely. Wo found the nu'.-.ouit'os bigger and more plentiful than "we expected. We had por quarters for sleeping. Many of us didn't have uniforms. The food wasn't the hest.

And now that things are getting in pood shape plenty of cor.d food, good sleeping quarters anil s ich, we know how to appre

I was standing along a company street one day when a colonel passed, forgetting myself for a moment I bowed instead of saluting. " 'Look here,' he said, 'the American soldier don't how he salutes. Discipline is not subjection remember that.' "And that is the way the boys are coming to loik on discipline. It is a little hard on saune of us that are new to army life, hut we realize that when we salute the otlicers whom we played with hack home we are carrying out the spirit of the army and e are not confesMni; any inferiority. "There's one thinp I do miss, though. When we came down here there were girls out at the stations. There were some ki.-j.s thrown away and lots of smiles lost. It sometimes makes one a little homesick way out here in the camp to hear the hoys sing soiists about the uir's l ack h.ono'. The next best thini; :s a letter from home. "Well, may!"- I'll see .,n in New rleatis. for there's where I'm going when I get a payday and a chance to pet away. So long."

!- mation, of w hich John A. lapp has

been the head, will continue to operate as usual for the present, it is said. Mr. Huberts was elected state statistician, and when the 1'JlT legislature failed to make an appropriation for Iiis office to continue husiness it was said (!ov. Goodrich would make some pro ision fur Mr. Huberts. That department has charge of the state free employment agencies, brandies of which are at Indianapolis-. South Pend. Ft. Wayn. Terre Haute and Kvansvllle. State officials are very desirous of keeping them in operation, it js said. Mr. Lapp says he has an understanding with low Goodrich regarding the continuance of the state bureau of legislative information. The two departments probably will con:inue business until Gov.

The Master Medicine POR THE BLOOD!

LAFAYKTTl-:. Oct. 6. In accordance with the rc':uiremrnts of the emergency food bill, passed recently by congress. Purdue university is now placing women in the counties of the state who will do work similar to that of the regular county agents. Their particular duties, however, will be to give instruction in food conservation as related to domestic science methods and principles. The organization of these women agents is under the direction of Miss Leila Gaddis, who has had extensive experier.ee in work of this sort. She will be assisted by Mis. Ldna Ii. Sewell. who will have charge of home demonstration and baking; Miss Edith Patt and Miss Elizabeth Collins, who will have charge of urban work. The women agents will work with local clubs, auxiliaries and classes. They will have othves in the county seats and will give demonstrations and lectures on foods, cooking and preserving. As far as possible the work will be standardized, though the needs of each particular county will be considered.

The extraordinary results produced by this medicine are shown by the following:

Socialism MA theory of society which advocates a more precise, orderly and harmonious arrangement of the social relations of manKind than that which has hitherto prevailed." W ebsters Dictionary

HEJ averare voter pets exu.tly what he

votes for. He does not vor- for much., therefore he does not pet r..-b. He has absolutely no complaint if hi- favorite candidate ofttinies "steps over the line."

or fails to live up to his ideals of "administration for the best interests of his city." In theso days of municipal management, ihn voters themselves ought to demand that the best interest of their city and its residents are conserved. What a great mistake it is to go into a municipal campaign and elect a set of otlicers because they are good fellows, because they are wet or dry, or democrats or republicans, and expect them to administer for the peoples' best interests. Our city is a large institution a big affair and nearly seventy thousand of residents go to make it up. A municipal program or platform ought to cover the interests of the.se seventy thovisand residents, and if we are to be governed by political parties, that party ought to be put into power which has the program that will be of the greatest benefit to tlies- residents, and when that party is put into power, it ought to be compelled to fullii its program by the electors who placed them there. As a general rule neither of the old parties bother themselves much about a political (municipal) prouram of any kind. They had much rather be free, from any incumbent obstacles which might at times embarrass them during their term of oflic The innocent voter could not understand those things anyway, and if these pro-election promises became to be a hobby, the otor would soon be thinking for himself, and that would never do. The Socialist, party is in reality a people's parry. It is a people's party because its aims are for the direct benefit of all the people, and it is organized and operates in isuch a way that the people themselves may feel assured that when they support it, their interests are being looked after. Looked aftrr not by the professional politicians, but. by themselves. The- Socialist party, ;is the political expression of the common people, has selected a group of candidates for the municipal election to be held on November 0, because of their ability and honesty, and primarily because their private interests are inseparably allied with the collective interests of th-o people. It has also formulated and adapted a municipal program or platform which it proposes to put in force should the hand of providence permit it to do so4 With malice towards none, it enters the campaign determined to clearly state its program without resorting :o slander upon the party in ower and the one without. It condemns no one, past or present, connected with the city government, neither do we attack the character of those seeking the suffrage of the voters at the present time. It desires only to convince the voters of South Bend that the aim of the Socialist movement is to so conduct the affairs of municipal government that it may be reflected in the increased prosperity and protection of the people at large. It is only thru a proper understanding of the needs of the people that make up a municipality, a state or a nation, that reaj progress can be made and permanent good come to the governed thru wise administration of existing laws and the initiation of needful legislation by those entrusted with authority.

There are a creat mir.y things it advocate- a- of immediate necessity to th wc.i'uro and l.a: 'pir.e-s of the people of South Iicnd. Wo might s;iy in passing that the party at lare has for many years advocated e.jual suiYrac- for women as v it Ii men. In fact, for ytars it h;is been the only political organization that re. onizod the intelligence of women, and today stand- fcr full citizenship for the members of this sex. And believing in the equal right ot them to hold ofl'u and of their ability to properly administer the duties of office, we have placed ai the P.e. id of our ticket such a person Mrs. Alkc Maniiering. The Socialist party advocates the public ownership of all utilities that are primarily designed and exist for the direct benefit of the people such as lighting, gas plants, waterworks, street railways, telephone system, etc ; but the state constitution says that, this cannot be done. Auents of the corporations succeeding" i:i fooling the people into votint; for and aniendiuK tin- -tat- con.-t itution in a way that limited a municipality's expenditures to on the assessed valuation of all taxable property, and now most cities are not even able, because of thl?, to administer its city or school finances as the need demards. We stand for the public ownership of the tilings mentioned above, but assert it to be foolish to promise the people to take them over when the state constitution forbids. We advise the people of South llend and of the state that favor municipal ownership of public utilities to interest themselves in a constitutional convention to the end that wo niav ha ve home rule and the privilege of owning our public service corporations if any city sho lid so desire. We also favor the following: A municipal milk cairy. A municipal coal yard and a municipally owned coal mine. Medical inspection of schools. Compulsory eradication of cess.-pools and outhouses aad compulsory sewer connection. An ordinance regulating housing onditions to the end that every family hhall have Minli---ht and fresh air. And if elected to office, wo pledge ourselves to strictly enforce all laws regulating vice and liquor without fear or favor, and endeavor to promote the moral standard of the entire city. The street car corporation in this city is now operating under what, is known as a "perpetual" franchise, which lasts forever. This franchise was granted in the year 1SS.". Ten years later the assembly of the state of Indiana passed laws providing that thereafter no municipality could grant a franchise to any public service corporation for a period of time exceeding twenty-five years. We propose that should we he elected to office, to institute proceedings favoring th.e amendment of the afore-said "perpetual" franchise, that the municipality may, at its option, procure, own and operate its own street car system, for the direct benefit of its patrons, and the community at large. We stand for the elimination of exploitation in the necessities of life, and for the establishment of municipal institutions to secure these necessities for the people at the lowest possible cost. It has been found that as many as a dozen different milk distributors travel over the same street in any one given day, adding to th-e cost of the milk the waste of unnecessary equipment and labor thereby incurred. Orlicial reports from the office

W e believe in the strict enforcement of all laws designed to raise the moral tone of the community. We do not wish to he misunderstood and warn all that contemplate voting the Socialist ticket not to do so if they imagine there will he any compromise with the forces of evil. Without fear we commit ourselves to the policy of law enforcement, even to the prosecution of owners of buildings rented for immoral purposes. If this program appeals to you then support our ticket

of the city milk inspector show tb.at In many cafe? tost: Jo not. meet the requirement of bacterial lount, buttpr fat and visible dirt. If a municipal dairy could be established fully seventy-five percent of the cost of handling would bo eliminated entirely, and the purity and wholesomencss of the product could bo absolutely guaranteed. Therefore, wo boliee in th.e establishment of a municipal milk dairy or distrihutini; plant, whereby thr exploiting tiistribufor would be eliminated entirely, and the milk would be distributed in its purest form from producer direct to consumer. Wo believe in a municipality owning anil oreratinsr its lUliting system, both pas and electric; and should, it be j.ofsibie that a constitution of the state of Indiana should eAtond the bonded indebtediiiss of cities, and provide for home rule, w would most arnestl;' endeavor to establish municipal public service lighting institutions, whereby th-e people would he served at the lowest possible cost of production. We believe that the city school hoard ouqht to have among its membership a woman, as the mothers are as much, or even moro interested In the lives and the education of their children as ar the men, and if elected, we would Fee to it that the next member of this board would ho such. We believe, that our school board ought to operate among its various Institutions a hook store In each and every school building i where it would b practicable to do fo) under their Jurisdiction throughout the city, whore th patrons could procure at cost, or nearly iso, the various accessories which are necessary in the education of their children. Tliis would not be an experimental method of handling school books in this city, as there has been in operation for a number of years at the high school, a store which has handled the various supplies for the students of the high, school only, and this method of handling them has proven very satisfactory to both teachers and patrons. We believe in the medical inspection of the school children, for it is very essential that if growing children are to ho able to meet the requirements which are placed upon them at this time, it is necessary that they bo kept etrong, robust and free from disease. Also a free medical dispensary. The liquor traffic ought to be kept wholly within the laws providing for Its regulation, and violations of these laws, as well as those prohibiting the operating of "blind tigers." gambling rooms, and bawdy houses, would not be tolerated. The establishment of a Recreation Committee has been a step in thf right direction. The growing children should have wholesome exercise and recreation under competent leadership. This work

ought to be extended rather than interfered withThe Social Center movement should he encouraged: rEE a municipal dance hall should be established, and T one park system should be extended as fast as zzz finances would allow this to be dono. rzr The Socialist party makes to the voters of South EE Bend the above promises insofar as we are able to accomplish them. However, they DO promise that ZZ they will at least make an effort to put them into effect. We solicit your suffrage, providing these are the EH things which you want. EE Possibly you could not trust us to administer in rr so weighty matters as these. If you could not trust rrr us to do it. join us in our effort to do this, and r: then you will have only to trust yourself.
