Moore o f Monmouth has just announced his candidacy for republican nomination for the office o f county clerk. Mr. Moore for the past two years has been serving as the supervisor o f rurai 3<*hools o f Polk County. In that capacity he has met personally, practically all the people o f the county and he feels that this acquaintance will render him valuable service in his candidacy. As he will be serving as super­ visor until after the primaries he must rely upon his friends to do his talking for him as he will not neglect his duties to campaign. He bases his claim upon the o f­ fice o f county clerk on his record A reader aska: “ In these days when help is so scarce and the women work in the (ielda, mills and railroads, why don’ t the proprietors o f pool halls, shoot­ ing galleries, etc. go to work and produce something worth while?’ Federal Food Administrator W the P“ 1 two year9 and say& B.

The higher prices charged mav be o f small notice to the wealthy or those drawing down a hand- some salary with little exertion, but to the man who toils, and by whose toil and sacrifices the win- ning o f the war depends, it is o f great concern 10 hirn. Without going into the whys and where­ fores, but is a fact nevertheless, the working man is not in the millionaire class in so far as dol- lars go, and is usually “ loaded to the guards” with liabilities and his strong arm his only asset. High as wages may seem, they have not always kept pace with prices o f the necessities o f the toiler. Have Just recently received t shipment ef Mill Ends consisting of FOR We should be pleased to pub­ lish the many good things advo­ cated by the many candidates for State offices, but we are obliged to “ Hooverize” along these lines as well as observing the ’eatless’ periods. high prices charged for flour sub- stitutes, saying that such condi­ tions are unavoidable. May-be- so? I f the price o f flour can be regulated by a W’ar Measure, why not the substitute? The people generally do not object seriously to conserving the wheat supply, in fact are doing it gladly but they do object to unscrupu- lous profiteers taking advantage o f their necessity in the manner they do.
