NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

1t has been customary in many To-
calities for farmers and others to
get their seasons supply Of flour in
advance - either by grinding their
own wheat at the mill, or by purchas-
ing from a dealer. These people
were quite innocent of any intention
to hoarl contrary to the government
rulings, ard no criticism is intended
in asking them to return the -four.
However, the country needs the
-four row to feed the boys who are
fighting for us, and all excess sup
plies must be returned either to the
miller who ground it or the dealer
from whom it was purchased. A
farmer may have two sacks of -four
on hand, ard person in town may
have one sack, and all excess must
be returned. There is one rule for
all, ard a fine of up to $4,000 or two
years in the penitentiary, or both,
may be imposed for refusing to obey
or disregardiIg these rules.
This notice is being put in the sec
ond time, fearing that it may have
escaped the attention of some of our
citizens.

Dear Folks:
Received your letters this morn

news to me to hear how things are
getting along. l am hardly over my
Thanksgiving dinner, as yet, for it
certainly was dinner. We had
turkey, mashed potatoes, tomato
soup, celery, hot biscuits, brown
bread pudding, apple ar,i peach pie,
white pudding, chocolate and mixed
nuts. What do you think of that for
layout? Some class, eh? Then to
top it off box of cigarettes and one
cigar was given to every man. Don't
worry about what we get to eat, or
how We sleep, because it is all good
enough for any fellow, this is just
like visit. Just got the sweater
Dodie made for me and it is just the
thing to wear under a coat. l wrote
her letter about it the day after it
arrived. By the way all mail from
the United States to France is not
censored, so you can write what

newspapers. By the letters, the peo-
pie of Decorah are working pretty
hard for the Red Cross and other
things-things meaning soldiers.

If there is anything / hate is to

We have things pretty handy though
as far as washing clothes is concerns,
ed. All we have to do is bring them
up to some of these old French
women. They Twill wash whole
laundry bag full for three or four
francs. Cheap at half the price, so
we let them do it. What do you
think of this stationary, it's the best
| could get in town. A small pad of
this costs a fellow about 20 cents
in civilized money. Can't hardly
say that it is cheap. Well l have
