IMPORTANT FOOD RULINGS.
It was the good fortune of the ed
tor o f t he NEWS to attend the meet
ing of the North Carolina Food Con
servation Commission at Raleigh, on
ia-t "Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr.
Y Bacon! Polk 'county administra
tor .was unable to go, and so "sent a
hand" in the person of the editor. ;
' It would do any loyal American a
wnrd of jrood to attend a session of
these people, and see the task with j
which they are wrestling, put wun
genuine patriotism and loyalty they
tackle and solve many many knotty
problems. It is a work of devotion
to the cause for which our country is
struggling, for not a person, from
State Administrator Page to county
administrators, draw a cent of salary.
The results of their labor ar short of
marvelous. Everything is done
which can possibly be done to look' af
ter the interests of the housewife and
the small consumers. To that end,
many enterpriss are being put out of
business, being classed as non-essentials.
It may seem hard to those en
gaged in these lines -of business, but
in no other way can the welfare of the
people be conserved. -
We take pleasure in giving' the rul
ings of the commission on many of
the essential foods, and if every per
son will abide by the request of the
commission in these matters it will
make things much easier for Mr. Ba- I
con. vour counxy iooa administrator, i
and help directly the cause
of the I
United States and her allies.
The flour situation looks much
brighter, and as soon as the new-
crop of wheat is ready tOA.be milled,
the allowance is going to be' doubled,
and the amount of substitutes de
creased. The allowance will then be
12 pounds per month, per person, for
flour, and will require but twenty-
five per cent, of substitutes. Rye
however, is not under any circum
stances a substitute, but it may be
bought without having to purchase I
any substitutes with it. A farmer
ODD
OMMSSDN
may have enough wheat ground to Mrs. Victor E. Myers, of Spartan
provide him with flour until October burg, has returned home with her lit-
first, next, and at the end of that 1
time may have enough ground to last
him until harvest time in 1919. A
farmer may sell his wheat to either
a miller or merchant. But a mer
chant can sell that wheat for no more
than one cent per bushel profit. A
famler can not exchange wheat for
merchandise, neither can he sell
wheat to any other person except for
seed. So the flour situation looks
very encouraging.

his power the food rulings would De

time we found him merciful to those
who might have unknowingly violated
any of his rulings, but if he thought
they had done so purposely he gave
them such punishment as to make
them pause before repeating the of

"If you violate any of. the rulings

Henry will get you, if-you-don't-watch

This is the road that leads to fame,
To your success in life;
The road that leads to winning the gaine
Over life's toil and strife; ;
Then follow me, I'll show you the way;
No matter where you roam,
No matter where on earth you stray.
That road leads thru the home! :'
For if things are pleasant neath your roof,
Tho poverty caps the dome; u
Troubles will fly like the weaver's woof
If true love rules the home. 'v

Of every man's success;

BETTER MAIL SER
VICE FOR POLK.
Move Started for Rearrangement
of Rural Route Service
for the County.
OF VITAL
INTEREST
COUNTY.
TO POLK
As I view Polk county conditions
the present mail service in the coun
ty is a menace to Polk county busi
ness, any kind of Polk county co-op1
eration and unity, as well as Polk
county social, educational and reli
gious betterment.
Therefore many of us believe that
substantial and radical changes ought
to be made in the mail service, and
made at once, so that Polk county
may give her best war service to the
general government at this great cri
sis in our history.
Therefore I take it upon myself to
call a meeting of farmers and busi
ness men of Polk county, regardless
of age, sex, political or religious per
suasion, to meet at the court house in
Columbus on Monday, July 1st at 1:30
o'clock p. m., for the purpose of or
ganizing a 'movement to obtain for
Polk county a better system of mail
service for the whole people. Let
every township be well represented in
this meeting. J. R. SAMS,
County Agent.
