NEW RULES LAID DOWN
FOR PURCHASING FLOUR
Order Given Regarding Purchasing
Other Cereals When Buying
White Flour

Dealers in flour have been wonder
ing how the new food proclamation,
recently made by President Wilson,
will effect them. A D. Wilson, food
administrator for Minnesota, has
made the following Interpretation OF
the order as regards purchase of 9TH
er cereals with white flour.
when purchasing white flour,
each consumer must buy an equal
amount of one of the following COM
modities: Cornmeal, cornstarch,
corn flour, hominy, corn grits, bar
ley flour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats, buckwheat -four, potato
-four, sweet potato flour, soy bean
flour or feterita -four and meals
Graham and whole flour are not
classed as coarse -four, and in pur-
chasing these in place of white wheat
f1ours, the consumer must buy with
them six-tenths of pound of coarse
flour. Rye flour is not classed as
coarse -four. Bran and shorts can
not be purchased with wheat flour
as the half portion"
Morris tribune., 1918-02-01
offered and they will be worth going

offered and they will be worth going
after.
The total cost Of this course is
only $500 for the week, and this in
cludes board and room. There will
be no additional expenses. Boys
should bring pair of overalls and
girls an apron. Both boys and girls
must bring pair Of blankets, towels,
comb, tooth brush, etc., but every
thing else will be furnished.
The value of this Boys and Girls
Week can hardly be estimated. For
boys and girls who do not have much
of a chance to get away from the
farm, this means an opportunity for
them to have one whole weeks en-
joyment and get something different
from their every day life, besides
giving them a chance to learn many
things of great usefulness to them.
Make plans now to send the boy and
girl and any information desired will
be gladly given by Mr. P. e. Miller,
superintendent of the Farm School
at Morris.

SEAL SALE WILL BRING
NURSE FOR ONE MONTH
Many Seals Sold and Reports Not ALI
in Yet From Rural School Dis
tricts H

According to the complete report
of the Red Cross Christmas seal sale
sent in to the Minnesota Public
Health Association, nearly $275
worth of seals we're sold in Stevens
county. This sum will bring school
nurse to the county for about a
month.
Of this amount $1543O worth OF
the seals were sold in the Morris
schools and $500 worth in the AL
berta schools. This money has been
placed together and will bring a
nurse to Morris and Alberta for two
weeks and two days.
Many seals were sold thru the
rural schools and at the present time
reports are not all in, but $1O3.83
has been reported. This amount will
bring nurse for the rural districts
for two weeks. Any teachers who
have not made the report of seals
sold, should do so at once.
The village of Hancock has also
made inquiries regarding keeping the
nurse at their own expense for a
| week.
An approximate total Of $4,000
seals were sold, far exceeding the sale
here in any previous year.
The purpose of the school nurse is
not to interfere in home affairs, but
to give helpful service in the care of
children, in detecting cases of con-
tagious disease, in time to prevent
their spread, and to examine the
children for defects that should have
medical attention. Parents are
asked to cooperate with the nurse
when she comes in order to secure
the best possible results from her
work.
Following is list of the rural
teachers who have turned in money
on the seal sale and the amount, and
also the teachers who received seals
but who have not made any report:

Soldiers Addresses Wanted

The work Of getting complete
file of the names and addresses of the
boys in the army and navy from this
county is now in progress at Red
Cross headquarters. A card system
will be used and the file will be as
near complete as possible and open
for the inspection of the public at
any time. Mrs. Frank Hancock has
charge of making this file. Parents
and friends are requested to send the
names and addresses of men in the
service to Mrs. Hancock or to Red
Cross headquarters in writing-not
by phone.

RED CROSS ORGANIZES
SALVAGE DEPARTMENT
Will Collect and Utilize Waste Prod
ucts Heretofore Thought Worth
less

A new department of the Red
Cross Chapter of Morris has been or
ganized by Mrs. G. w. Beise, known
as the Salvage Department, to col
lect and utilize the waste products
of our city, as is being done in the
larger cities.
A letter has been received from
Mrs. Kruse of Minneapolis asking for
the cooperation and help of the
smaller cities and towns in this salv-
age work and asking them to con-
serve material heretofore considered
valueless. It is the purpose of this
department to locate the various
forms of waste, to provide means Of
gathering it up and to market it as
rapidly as possible.
The first collection to be made as
asked by Mrs. Kruse will be old kid
gloves and leather articles, which
will be shipped to the Minneapolis
headquarters to be made into vests
for sailors and soldiers. The Master
Cleansers Association of Minneapolis
has volunteered to clean all gloves
and leather sent for this purpose
free of charge, after which it will
be made up by expert workers into
vests. Such vests are said to be ex-
tremely warm and practical.
A committee consisting Of Mrs. G.
w. Geenty, Mrs. Fitzgerald and Mrs.
Beise will take charge of the work
and by next week boxes will be
placed on the intersections of the
downtown streets, into which the
gloves and leather articles may be
placed. It is asked that the school
children cooperate and help in the
collection of this material. =
When the old gloves and leather
have been shipped a collection of
other waste articles will be started.
Only one sort of waste will be col
lected at one time in order to save
sorting and storage.
People of Morris will be asked to
take care of and donate to the
chapter such articles as old auto
tags and other aluminium pieces,
bronze, copper, lead. nickel, plated
ware, gold, old jewelry and silver.
Morris tribune., 1918-02-01

rubber goods, such as auto tires and
inner tubes, betting, discarded hot
water bottles, door mats, etc.
The committee will make known
from time to time the sort of waste
to be collected and it is hoped that
everyone will interest themselves
and assist the chapter in this work,
for in every household and business
institution there is waste or dis
cards which in itself is small but
when gathered together in one place
amounts to much.

TELLS OF CONDITIONS
AS FOUND In FRANCE
Farmers Are Behind the Times in
Regard to Machinery and Method
of Work

In letters received last week by
bert, now located somewhere in
France, he tells of conditions as they
exist in that country. He says:
1--WE are now at our station and
it is a very good place and we have
good Accommodations and good grub
to eat These foreign countries are
about two-hundred years behind the
United States in most things. Their
railroads are very poor except in one
point. Their crossings are all either
overhead or underneath, no level
crossings, so there is no danger from
accidents. The engines and cars are
very poor with the old high wheels
and one link for a coupling. Each
car will only carry about eight tons.
Some of the farmers still use
oxen and the plows are queer piece
of working machinery. They look
similar to our walking plows with
one on top of the other and they
plow on one side of the field only.
They go up on one side and just turn
the plow over and come down on the
same side. They always hitch the
horses one ahead of the other and
never two abreast. 1t seems queer
to see four horses hitched to a two
wheel wagon and strung out one af
ter the other. The people are very
Industrious and farm all the hills
and every little corner
Conditions are not as bad as is
usually thought, altho fuel is scarce
and is the biggest problem. I can
not tell you where we are located or
what we are doing, but don't worry
about me as 1 am just as safe here
as if I were at home.
''In a recent letter from you you
spoke of the Knights of Columbus.
I am glad to say that the Knights are
playing a very important part in the
war in the line of entertaining the
men and furnishing many little
things with no profit and often for
nothing. I used to be of the impress
sion that the fellows in the army
were not very religious but there is
a fine class of men and they most all
believe in some church and religious
faith.
Hope you are we'll and happy"

THRIFT DAY WILL BE
OBSERVED In MORRIS
Many People Will Plan To Adjust
Their Expenditures According
to Income

Next Monday, February 4, the
will be observed in all parts Of the
country and plans are being made to
properly celebrate the day in Morris
and vicinity.
This is not day for bell ringing,
banqueting, or sQuandering Of good
dollars on expensive festivities. On
the contrary, Thrift Day is to be cele-
brated by each individual with the
performance of at least one thrifty
act.
Men, women and children all over
the country can join in that kind OF
celebration and be the better off for
it. There are plenty of holidays that
invite idleness and the spending Of
money on good times.
This day is not a holiday in that
sense. 1t is a day not for spending
but for saving: .8
A day for starting a savings bank
account.
A day for getting a new angle on
the family budget.
"A udy LUZ SIOpp1uS lilly leaks that
drain the pocket.
A day for planning a new system
for marketing and keeping the kit
chen accounts.
A day for adjusting expenditure
more accurately to income.
Thrift is saving and something
more. 1t is getting value out Of ev-
cry dollar-fair return from every
direction for money earned and spent.
Many well-to-do families with good
incomes are too easy-going to worry
about minor household expenses.
They think there is something small
in scrutinizing too closely the month
ly grocer's bill.
They are wrong. Indifference and
waste are the real things to be
ashamed Of. Any fool can throw
away money If he has 1t. The wise
man, whether he has much or little.

yet is he prudent in pennies.
Plan ahead for Thrift Day-the
day from which to date some habit
that shall prove life-long help.
