TOWN FOLKS PROTEST
FLOUR CARD SYSTEM

FITZGERALD, Ga, Feb. 1S.-At a
big meeting of the grocers and butch
ers of Fitzgerald at the city hall, a
resolution was sent to DR.. A. M Soule
state federal food administrator, pro.
testing against the -four card system.
Mr.. j. c. Brewer president of the Con
solidated Grocery CO., wholesalers,
stating that his firm will not redeem
any cards issued after February 14th.
The resolution sent DR.. Soule is as
follows:
1--WE the undersigned wholesale and
retail food dealers of Fitzgerald re-
quest that the plan of Issuing flour
cards to farmers be rescinded, as we
believe it is unfair to the masses in
town to give the man on the farm such
an advantage in the purchase of flour.
1t is admitted that the farmer is not
observing meatless days and now with
the presentc ard system he will have
no wheatless days. We of the town are
willing to bear our part of the bur
den, but we do not think we should
be called upon to carry the whole
load"
By rising vote the grocers pres
ent adopted a motion to refuse -four
cards issued to anybody in lieu of
meal or corn, so the corn meal from
the farm be made available for the use
of people in town who were not fort
nate enough to have supply of their
own

! WITH THE BRITISH AR
MIES IN FRANCE, May 9.
For six days the Germans
have been blocked in Flan-
ders. For 35 days they have
been held in check at Amiens.
What is their next move and
where?
Enemy prisoners are betrayins
symptoms of apathy. Captured
letters intended for the German
people at home add to this i'm
preston.
The boches certainly are less
cocksure than at the start of their
offensive and apparently are
suffering from a fit of Teuton
blues. which is typical when any
thing goes wrong.
The German troops write de-
spondently of the. still distant
peace, which they had been led
to believe was. near. The whole
tone of the prisoners plants is
that the troops have again been
misled, and instead of peace there
will be more static warfare.
Altho they are down In the
mouth, they will continue to do
Hindenburg's bidding-certainly
for some time to come. Further
heavy fighting is expected at any
time.

This means that all French men
