VGOD AND McADOO AS OPPOSING CANDIDATES j Washington, May 19.?Americans o sooner are through with one presiential campaign than they begin to alk of the next, but unquestionably here has been an extraordinary alount of talk about presidential canidates since the armistice of la'st fovember recenvened partisan .poli-j ics in the United States. Judged entirely by the amount of nthusiasm displayed by the average ian encountered on my recent trav1s across the country and^by talks ith leaders of both parties in state nd national affairs, it would seem lat the present time?and that, of jurse, has nothing to do with twen- , j months hence?Major General eonard Wood is talked of in mora arts of the country for the Repubcan nomination and William Glbbs [cAdoo is mentioned more often for le Democratic nomination than any f the others. It is apparent that Governor Frank owden, of Illinois, is looked upon ivorably in areas in the central est, and may for the moment be >nsidered second in the race for le Republican nomination, and that le strength in different sections of enator Hiram Johnson, Senator Both? Senator Harding and Senator enyon is largely ^ local thus far. 1 the background are such men as eneral Pershing, William Howard aft, Charles E. Hughes and Herbert oover, with their strength somehat in the order named.

I TO INCREASE MILK p SUPPLY IN SOUTH s t: Plans for insuring a plentiful sup- n ply of clean, pure milk for the con- h suming centers of the Eastern and c Southern sections of the United! States were formulated at confer-^b ences of federal, State, and city foodj u officials held recently in Philadelphia, i a Jacksonville, Fla., and New Orleans,! t] according to officials of the United v States department of agriculture in Sl charge of the enforcement of the ri federal food and drugs act. The con- Sl trol of milk under food and health t< > # # I laws is largely a problem for munici- vs pal food and health officials, as the tl bulk of milk consumed in towns and t] cities is produced near by. ^ Milk which is shipped into inter- ^ state commerce, as is the case in cit- ti ies located near State lines, comea under the jurisdiction of the federal ^ food officials in making the control a of the milk supply more effective this y season than ever before. More than ^ 200 cities throughout the United j, States have laboratories equipped for testing and ahalyzing mlik. Dairymen and milkmen attention to sanitation in producing and distributing milk. Much milk is rendered unfit! for food every season because ofj^ carelessness in handling or lack of: knowledge of correct principles of w sanitation. > The dairy division of the bureau of animal industry, United States de- (j1 partment of agriculture, the State gj experiment stations, and many of the ^ city food and health officials will fur- jg nish upon application information ^ regarding improved methods for , handling milk in a manner that will ~ insure it reaching the consumer under all ordinary circumstances in the; b6st possible\tondition. KEEP UP ROADS. Every farmer should feel his dependence upon good roads. Whether! or not one lives on a public highway. he should take an interest in the] nearest one to his farm or the road| he must use to market his farm, or-1 chard and garden products. There are many times when a day's work can be spared on the road. After heavy rains the roa? may need certain repairs or improvements; when the overseer is not ready to] call out the hands. Why not indi-j vidual farmers donate a day's work' on the road at such times? By keeping a road drag and drag- . ging the road along one's land after heavy rains the road may be greatly imwnvod Tf ?o an ' ?..r.wrvu.

This would maintain the road till the regular hands could be called; out at stated intervals or till thej commissioner could make the neces-J sary repairs The time has come when we must consider the roads an asset, indis-| pensable to the well-being of thej farmer and his family. This being true, is it not every man's duty to, do all he can to keep the roads ini good condtiion? The individual asj well as the county is responsible.? Farm and Ranch. ' I I TOURIST TRADE IN JAPAN. Japan receives from visitors to her| shores a sum exceeding the value of, her exports of coal. The Mikado's Empire is estimated to have received more than 30,000,000 yen from the influx of foreigners in 1918, or $2,000,000 more than the total exports of coal made by Japan. Japanese coal dominates the fuel situation in this part of the world. The disorders in Russia have sent visitors of this nationality up from approximately 2,000 a year to over 8,000 in 1918. Those of British na tionality have remained at an aver- _ f \ ge figure of 3,000 a year, their lovement not being appreciably afect!ed by the Great War so far as olume is concerned. The Dutch ave increased decidedly, now numering approximately 600. The 'rench have doubled their number, 'rench subjects to the extent of 600 assing through Japan in 1918. The estraints resulting from the war ave been most pronounced in the ase of the United States citizens. 1 JNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING FAVORED Washington, May 16.?Secretary laker is expected soon to make a mblic announcement of a definite tand in favor of universal educaional military" training- with a $tatelent of his reason. It is assumed ere that President Wilson has acepted his plan. . v The plan understood to be favored j y Secretary Baker contemplates the' se of the military establishment as medium of training the youth of! iie nation; first along academic and ocfitional lines and as an entirely j sparate and subordinate feature in adimentary military science. Thej jcretary's suggested program is said ^ j be based intially on the benefits rhich will accrue to the country form j le higher average in intelligence and j le improved standard of physical rell being of the young men who rould be taken annually into the raining machine. The favorable results of the opera on of the A. E. F. university system I re believed to have largely brought [r. Baker to his opinion. Not only ave the thousands of soldiers in ranee shown great eagerness to vail themselves of the opportunity f exchanging "guns for books" but le progress made under the specilly selected instructors and with( le carefully designed schedules has| een so rapid as to surprise promi-i ent educators connected with the| ork. Moreover, the camparatively J lort time given to military routine as proven ample to keep the indiviual soldiers in trim for field service lould emergency require.
