with drawn revolver and steadfastly
refusing to allow anybody to aid
the man whom he had shot down

blood in the doorway. Duncan, as
his custom is, went ahead and took

MERCHANTS MUST OBEY FOOD RULES
When the new ord ir restrict
ing, the merchants to', sell flour
to the city trade in 24 lb. bags
and th? rural customers in lull)
bags went into effect I found a
great number ot merchants had
only lb. bags on hand and
could uot secure bags to resack
it and consequently I granted
them a temporary exception to
this ruling until they could se
cure bags to resack it. This is
to serve notic on one and all
that I have revoked their per
mit to sell Hour in 98 lb bags.
Now a few merchants have been
selling 08.1b bags and allowing
two men' to sign for it, this too.
is a violation of the food iaw be
cause the food law says: "That
Hour cannot bo' sold in bags lar
ger t'nau 48 lb", and still a few
merchants persist in selling
flour without an equal quantity
of other cereal substitute, now,
sooner or later we will catch
you at that and when wo do you
know the consequenc , now, we
are going to enforce the law.
Mr. Page has appointed a food
administrator for each Town

preciate it if you will take up
any matter concerning the fooJ
administration with .your town
ship food administrator. If any
futber information is needed I
