Washington, Nov. 7.-An attempt to reduce bread prices will bo tho next move of the food administration in. assuming control of the principal food commodities. At the request of Administrator Hoover, President Wilson will issue within a few days an order directing that every baker in the country be required to do bus iness under a Federal license. Rules and regulations governing the baking industry already have been drawn up by the food adminis tration and will be put into opera tion as soon as the executive order is out. They will provide a standard ized loaf of probably two sizes and standardizations of the bread con tents. The bread formula has been /selected and bakers will he permit ted to use no other. The new war bread will contain a reduced amount of fats, as both the lard and milk content will bo cut down considerably. It probably will be produced in 20-ounce and 10" Qunce loaves. No prices will be f fixed outright, but the regulations' will prescribe thnt only reasonable prices may be charged. Consumers* . committees have reported to the adr ministration that in most 'places loaves of this size can be sold at ten ahd five cents, respectively. ? Food administration officials are k-ving serious consideration to the situation cneateo by the short wheat crop, and it ls believed likely that be fore many months bakers fhay be re quired to add a certain amount of corn flour in baking bread. Dietetic ? experts now are working out formu lae containing wheat flour substi tutes. .

Results in Indictment Catholic Cler -> gymnn mid Appointee. Greenwood, Nov. 7%-Father Lewis J. O'Hern, a prominent Catholic cler gyman of Washington; Father E. A. DUff, a chaplain In the United States navy and a former resident of Green ville, and Andrew A. Ward Knisloy, now holding an appointment to the Naval Academy from the Firot Con gressional, District of South Carolina, are under indictment th the Federal Court for tho Western District of South Carolina on the charge of con spiracy to defraud the United States and using the United States mails to aid in this work of conspiracy. The indictment was handed the grand jury hore to-day. Congressman Stevenson, of the Fifth District, made public in June of lois year letters and telegrams which tended to show that the two clergymen had told former Congress man McCorkle, of that district, that the young man, Knlsley, -was a rosi dent of Chester, and os such he stood the examination for tho appointment. He was rated as an alternate and later was notified to* report-nt the &faVal Academy. Congressman Ste venson, who succeeded Congressman McCorkle, and who had by that limo been sworn in, stated that his suspi cions were aroused and he had the matter Investigated, stating that he found that tho young man had spent ?ne night In Chester at the home of ii Mrs Collins, No. 107 Dowey street, but that, as a matter of fact, he was i resident of Philadelphia, though his father was a machinist in Charleston. On the presentation of these state ments to the Secrotnry of tho Navy the appointment of tho young man ivas revoked. Subsequently he was tppointed to Annapolis from the First District by Congressman Whnley.

This potato was in the iiosse8ison of John Ansel, and The Courier goes on to say: "Recently, too, Mr. Ansel.^ln con versation with Capt. J. It. Anderson, of tho Blue Ridge Railway, learned that In the city of Anderson, at no distant date in the past, a wagon load of sweet potatoes wa? brought into the city, the smallest one of which weighed C pounds, the largest about 17 pounds. Tho two-horse wagon load iwnlnlned about IVS potatoes. 'We flatly refuse to vouch for any of the Anderson story. Some one told Capt. Anderson, who told Mr. Ansel, who told us. We are dil members of tho Ananias Club, and neither of us is willing to vouch for a statement made by the other." Capt. Anderson was perfectly cor rect In the story ho told Mr. Ansel and there ls no Ananias talk by any one who repeated It The facts about tho wagon load of potatoes and the 17-pounder are just as related, and it doesn't strain the credulity of people here, who know what sweet potatoes should be, to believe ftie story. If our venerable Walhalla contem porary would como down almost any Anderson county farmer could show him tubers that woairt put its measly little six-pound 'tater to Bname. Why, Jehu Jones, of St,nrr, brought into the Dally Mall office yesterday morn ing a potato weighing 14% pounds, and it was only a fair sample of his patch. Anderson county potatoes are "some 'taters." Anderson county must raise the largest potatoes tn the whole world. Other communittes'get puffed up over a seven-pound potato, but here lt only takes one lo the peck. .J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?Jf ?J? ?J? ?J? .f.

It'Is, however, a much smaller disaster than Bull Run, from which th? cause of the American Union somehow re covered, it will be remembered that the first encounters of American fighters with the British in 1775, at Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill, wore all reverses. But in the fighting inspiration which/ they gave to tho people they operated very much like successes. Tho thought of those dozen American soldiers in German hands and of the t hree boys left lying In the trench will help to Introduce tho American people to tho idea that we are at least on the threshold of our war with Germany. The- Ger mans, of course, know perfectly well where our troops woro completing their training on tho Rhine-Maine Canal, and in a somewhat character istic Godman manner they plantcJ a r>arrage fire in the right ?pto to facil itate tho training process.
