Since July 1914 we have known,
as a fact, that a great world war
was on.
For several months we have known,
as a fact, that our own country
was in the great war. 'With the
mobilization of our best manhood to
the colors the matter became more
real. But now we have awoke to
the stern reality thor we as a
mighty nation are in the midst of a
mighty eonflict and that we must
divide rations with those who have
been in the fight longer. Sammie
must divide crust with Tommy
and his allies. We must do on less
and eat more systematically. We
burn less fuel and do it systmatically.
Tils great industries of the country
have just past a pjroid of five
heatless days and have eight more
heatless Mondays yet to observe.
On Monday a proclamation from
the President went into effect call
ing upon ihe American people to
observe Monday and Wednesday of
each week as "wheatleas" and Tues
esday as" meatless" and Tuesday
Saturday "porkless." The quantity
of flour allowed to bakeries and
other cooking and eating places is
reduced. Thus war jias been brought
to our own table and hearth. Let
every citizen Cooperate. '
So far as we have been able to
observe the people of this section
are conforming loyally to the ad
ministrations fuel and ration policy.
Many persons are puzzled to
understand what the terms "four
penny," "six penny" and "ten penny"
means as applied to nails. "Four
penny" means four pounds to the
thousand nails and "six penny"
means six pounds to the thousand
and so on. It is an English term,
and meant at first"ten poundVnails
(the thousand being understood,)
but the English clipped it to "ten
puns" and from th.it it degenerated
until "penny" was substituted for
pounds. ' : . -;
Buy of your home merchants and
you are increasing the value of
your property. This is a fact, the
better the town, the more demand
there will be for property.

ONE BARBELL OF FLOUR THE LIMIT
County Food administrator Sam C. Latte.nore has been in
structed by State Food Administrator Henry A Page to take
prompt and vigorous action to the end that sit purchasers of
excessive quantities of foodstuffs, particularly flour, in this
county shall retnrn their surplus above one barrel to the dealers
without delay.
Mr. Page evidently means business and Mr. Lattimore means
business too, for he announces that the State Food Administra.
tor's instructions will be carried out to the letter. Mr. Page's
letter is of the straight-from-the-shoulder type that is charac
teristic of the man. He demands action and action right away.
In writing to the County Food Administrator Mr. Page instructs
him as follows:
"(1) That you demand of each retailer in your county a
complete list of consumers who have purchased flour in excess
of one barrel during the past three months.
"(2) That you immediately notify the purchasers whose
names are submitted to you or whose names you can secure
that they must retur.i all flour in their posession in excess of
one barrel to the dealers from whom they purchased, those
dealers being required to take it back at the price they received
for it
"(3) that you tske every means within your command to
remedy this situation just as promptly as possible.
"(4) That you submit to us promptly for indictment and
proscution the names of any merchants who withhold informa.
tion and consumers who retain in their posession more than
one barrel of flour after they have been given an oportunity to
return it to dealers." 1
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to thank our many
friends and neighbors for their
kindness during the sickness and
death of our wife and mother.
The people were exceeding con
siderate of us and gave our deceased
one the best of attention and we
trust that a blessing may Pttend all
who helped us and her.

WHY IT IB NECESSARY TO EAT
LESS WHEAT BREAD.
France, Great Britain, Italy and
Belgium must new Import SO per
cent of their breadstuff!. Instead of
the 4t per cent, which they Import
ed before the war.
America must supply the greater
port of this need. To send them
the least that they can live on, we
must Increase our export of wheat
from 88.000.OOO bushels to 220,000,
00 bushels.
We have already exported the
whole of the surplus of the 1S17
harvest, over and above the normal
dmeands of our own population.
Therefore, all experts of wheat
from now forward are limited en
tirely to the saris g made by the
American people In their conaum
tloa of wheat and wheat products.
HOW TOO CAN HELP.
Have at least one meal a day
without wheat bread. Use Instead
oora, oat, rye, barley, or mixed ce
real bread.
Eat leas cake and pastry.
' Order wheat bread from your
baker at' least 24 hour In advance,
so that he win not bake too much.
Cut the loaf of wheat bread on the
table- Use all stale breed for toast
or cooking.
All the blood, aU the korolsm, all
the monitions and all the sanaer In
the world win not win this war mn
lee ear Soldiers, ear Sailor and
our fighting Associates ,.' are tod.
They wfll not be fed, thin terrible
sacrifice of blood and money will
be In vain, and tko cause of Democ
racy will bo defeated, unlaw ovary
person, In every heme, every day,
guards the Nation supply of
WHEAT, BEET. PORK, TATS
and aUQAK. -AU
