His forebear -were of the best) -oU Southend stock;" and his ancestry ruris in;' unbroken lines to ante revolution ary dayfi; his ..grandfather was ttne first governor -of Georgia, and gave his life for his country in the war for independence. ' . . , . The Kennedys were .of Scotch-Irish migration, and bore, their share in -shaping the national life which had its birth along the Atlantic seaboard. They- have given yeoman service m every crisis in the Nation's history. Judge Kennedy, as he was known among us of Tryon, was a typical Carolina gentleman. He was the very soul of honor. His word was final. A stern sense of duty guided all his performances. As chairmar of the Board of Commissioners foi Polk county and of the town council of Tryon, he commanded the respec of his constituency and gave eminent satisfaction as a public servant. The Judge was a great favorite ii the social realm. Humorous, witty jovial, his hearty laugh enlivened anj circle. In the fraternities to whicl he belonged, in party gatherings anr in the more formal social occasion.4 he was everywhere the honored guest or gracious host. But it was in his own home that his genial nature shone in highesl light. Hospitable without stint, and the urbanity of his manner filled hi? house with gracious welcome. It was my good fortune to be a member of his household for several years, and the warmth of his friendship, like sunshine across the wandering path of an itenerant preacher. Behind all those virtues which so. endeared him to his fellows lay rim fathomed depths of religious feeling. In his quiet modesty he "practiced the presence of God' Oftimes we sat or the high veranda of Sunset Hill and watched the stars go by. As ourowr, pipes burned low he would lbegin t( tell of the yearnings of his spirit just a word here and there until th simplicity of? his nature lay like a great meadow land abloom with the ffowers of the soul. Since he entered in we have another friend in the bautiful country. This thought of him makes the journey more worth while for all who knew him. W. A, NEWELL. W. s. s. SANDY SPRINGS. tltev.

This space given by The New Grocers, of the nation hare accepted enthusiastically the 50-50 basis for, the purchase of wheat flour and are doing their utmost to explain the new - regu lation tdrthe housewife. This ruling by the 0. S.Tood Ad ministration, requires each purchaser of wheat flour to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound of wheat flour. It was necessary to re strict the ttse of wheat flour in order that the ai lies and our lighting forces abroad raijht be assured of an ade qua te supply of wheat to meet their vital needs! Th!s supply must come from pur savings because we have al ready sent our normal surplus, Wheat saving 'pledge cards were for warded by the Food Administration to all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and posted in stores throughout the country. This card states, "We pledge ourselves loyally to carry out the Food Administration pro gram, fri accordance with this ordei we will not ell any wheat flour except whore the F purchaser bujrs an equal weight of one or more of the following,' t greater, u&e of which in the home will save wheat : "Corn meal, corn flour, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour 4otnto flour, sweet potato flour, soy benn flour. ' feterita flour and meals rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buck wheat- flour." : i Some, confusion has resulted on the part of-tha consumer In construing this M50-f5r. rnling to mean that an equal amount In value of substitutes must be purchased with wheat flour, This is a mistaken idea. The ruling states that the consumer In purchasing , flour shall "buy at the same time an equal weight of other cereals." One exception to this ruling Is con cernlnggraham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour. This provision is made because apprpxlmately 55. ,jer cent: more ox the wheat berry is used in the manufacture of these flours than tand- ard wheat flour. Another exception is that concern lng mixed' flours containing less than 60 per cent, of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitutes. Retailers, however, are forbidden to sell mixed flours containing more than 00 per cent, of wheat flour to' any person un less the amount of wheat flour substi tutes sold is sufficient to. make the to tal amount of substitutes, including those mixed in flours, equal to the to tal amount in wheat flour In the mixed . flour. Jdr. Instance, if any mixed flour is purchased containing 00 per cent. wheat flour and 40 per cent substi tutes it is necessary that an additional 20 per cent of substitutes be pur chased. .This brings it to the basis ol one pound of j substitutes for each pound of wheat; flour. A special exemption may be granted upon application In the case of special ly prepared Infants and invalids' toot containing flour where the necessity it shown. 8ome misunderstanding seems to ex 1st on the part of consumers in assum lng that with the purchase of whea flour one, roust confine the addltlona 50 per cent purchase to one of thi substitutes. This is not the case. On may select from the entire range oi substitutes a sufficient amount of end to bring the total weight of all substi tutes equal to the weight of the whea flour purchased. For instance. If t purchase of 24 pounds of wheat floui is made a range of substitutes may b selected as follows: Corn meal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds j'Hce, 4 pounds; buckwheat 2 pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 8 pounds.' These substitutes ma be used In the following manner; Oommeat 8 Pounds,-Oorn bread, no flour : corn muffins or spoon : bread one-fourth flour or one-third rice or one-third hominy; 20 per cent substi tutes in whole bread. Corn Starch, 1 Pound Thickening gravy, making custard, one-third sub stitute in cake. Corn Grits, 4 Pounds. Fried like mush, used with meal in making corn bread Rolled Oats, 8 Pounds. One-fourth to one-third, substitutes in bread, one half substitute in muffins; breakfast porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies, oatmeal soup. ; - Buckwheat Flour, .2 Pounds.
