THIS MEANS YOU, DELINQUENT

Again may we ask those who are
due the paper to pay up promptly
as we must collect the amounts by
Dec. 1st or place for collection. No
one can successfully run a weekly
newspaper at $3.50 a year on pro-
longed credit, considering the high
price of everything entering into the
making of a newspaper these days.
$500 year is cheap enough, but
we are trying to hold the price down
to $50 year and if all those who
are due for the paper will come for
ward promptly and settle this will
help greatly. Kindly help us to help
you by paying now so we can hold
the price to 81 so a year. Do it to- |
day while you think about ito
you may overlook it.

THE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR ON
COMBINATION SALES.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 81, During
the past week the Food Administra-
tors office has received numbers Of
complaints from would-be purchasers
of sugar, to whom the groceryman-
who had not read the recent rulings
On the subject OF sugar, to the effect
that no retailer may sell sugar on con
dition OF buying other commodities,
with the one exception of corn meal
were trying to sell groceries they
did not need and did not care for, for
the privilege of buying q pound or two
of sugar. The Administrator Is in
vestigatin these complaints and asks
that everyone who has had the same
trouble will send a statement of his
or her experience, with the retailers
name to the office of the Food Ad-
miniStrator in Richmond.
The trouble has probably been tina.
few persons have read the rulings all
the way through. There is one very i'm
portant exception. The retailer may
sell Il combination of two pounds
OF corn meal to one pound of sugar.
This is the only combination that
can be made, and this Is the only
ratio In which this combination may
be made.
The Food Administrators is selecting
this week his sub administrator for
each county in the state. He will form
committee from these sub-administra
tors to aid him in carrying out the
rulings and plans of the Food Adj
ministration Bureau.
The Food Administrator mas also
taken up the matter with the War De
partment Of the waste OF foodstuffs
in the environments. This matter is
being looked into with much inter
est by the War Department, and there
Is no doubt but that the waste will
be checked.

BRAVE FIGHTING.

The Idncolnites in the last quarter
began to realize that their only
chance for a touchdown was gone, yet
they fought on bravely.
Lincoln lost the ball Oh downs, and
after bringing it up the field several
yards, Harvey made a long pass to
Rigney. This melted another gain of
about 25 yards.
Here it seemed as though Hampton
would make another touchdown but
Iincoln's line stiffened and the ball
went to her on her 20 yard line.
The Penn boys promptly kicked to
the ccntri Of the field and here the
ball passed from one side to the 9TH
or until the whistle finally ended the
game.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1917-12-15

'rhe second half began with Lin.
coln kicking to Hampton. Harvey re
ceived the ball and ran it back 20
yards.
This play was followed by a
couple Of line plunges~ by Wood for a
gain OF 10 yards.
Hampton was penalized again, but
Rigncy made up the loss by another
line plunge for 10 yards.
After attempting another forward
pass, Hampton was forced to kick
Lincoln kicked again and Harvey ran
the ball back 15 yards.
Another pass was then made to Pax
ton. This melted 20 yards more for
Hampton.

EVERY HOUSEWIFE IS FOOI
ADMINISTRATORS.

Richmond, Va, Nov 27.--In his
speech before the Housewives Lea
que, Food Administrator White said
i'll part. at is not true that there is
only one Food Administrator in Vir-
ginla. There are at least $4,000 food
administrators. Every woman who
mas signed the food card pledge is
food administrator in her own right.
Women do 80 per cent. of the buying.
If they know how to buy and arc wise
in their selection of food they are OK
ertlng their right as food administra-
tors
women should make q study Of
food values. They should understand
what is meant by we'll balanced rat
ION. Food buying and food combina-
tions are a science.
Much food is wasted in our South
ern kitchens, some of it by bad cook
ing, some Of it by extravaganza, and
quantities Of foods that could be
utilized go into the garbage pals in
stead. Every woman can Hooyerize
her kitchen by gaining the cooperat-
ion and sympathetic understanding
OF her cook.
The food Administrator in every
State has formed or is forming machin
cry such as will insure the sale Of
food Of all kinds to the consumer at
reasonable prices, considering, Of
course, the high cost of production.
In every town in every state women
have been appointed to find out each
week prices Of staple commodities and
report them to the central bureau or
statistics at Washington. You can all
aid in this work.
The Food Administrator Of Virgin
la will be only too glad to receive.

appointed a committee of represen-
tative wholesalers to confer with a
like committee of retail merchants
to draw up some plan for the arrange
ment Of prices on staple articles to
the mutual satisfaction Of producer
and consumer. The outstanding fea-
ture Of the committee Is the plan for
the publication in daily papers Of whole

STONE-WALL LINE.

The second quarter began with Lin
coin attempting II forward pass, which
was caught by Hampton. The ball
was fumbled, however, and was COW
cred by Lincoln oh Hampton's 20 yard
line. This gave the Lincoln boys more
speed and another pass brought the
ball within 5 yards Of Hampton's
goal.
The situation was serious now. 1t
seemed as though the Lincolnites
would make a touchdown. Hampton's
line, however, held like a stone wall.
The fast Lincoln backfield charged
with undated fury only TO be rolled
back by the determined "Seasiders."

HAMPTON SCORES.

With this encouragement the Hamp
ton backfield marched steadily down
the field, until Rigney crossed Lin
coins line for n touchdown. The goal
was kicked. This gave Hampton 7
points at the end Of the third quarter
Lincoln had made no score
