THE HousEkEEPER's BUYING

The housekeeper is responsible for
much of the cost of living,-is held ac-
countable for the expenditures for the
food supplies, and it is she that in
the ultimate makes the cost moder-
ate or high by exercising care or lack
of it. 1t is duty well done if the
honsekeeper faithfully sticks to her
post and does the buying with care
II isn't an evidence of much care as
to whether the grocery bill is high
when the lady of the house sends the
servant to the telephone and directs
the supplies to be sent up. 1t is but
am example of poor interest in keeping
down expenses The good housekeep-
err doesn't want the merchant to know
she has this little interest in her
household expenses, and she does the
buying herself.
The grocers of COrdele have ask
ed the housekeepers to be patient and
loyal again in the matter of deliveries
and quantity buying They are going

aaN These will be made with all
fairness and regularity. but rigid
rule will have to prevail if fairness
be- possible The plan has been an
ncunced and will be followed after
the beginning of February. House
keepers are urged to stick to it faith
fully and abide the changes
They are also asked to come down

OUR NEW FOOD BASIS

And now when your flour goes in
from the grocers with it must go
enough rice, potato, oatmeal, buck
wheat, corn meal or other substitute
tcr the pure wheat flour to enable the
grocer to show he has made a thirty
percent reduction in wheat flour sales
year. The president has backed this
new rationing system with a procla-
nation which must appeal to the loyal
citizen
The strict methods to be followed
i'll the use of flour are made necessa-
ry because of the increase in the sup
ply which must go to Europe. This
country is saving ninety million bush
els cf wheat for the allies out of our
normal supply which has already been
estimated
And while the wheatless days and
the war bread are put on us we have
also meatless days to observe. Here
where we have plenty, although at
high prices, We can hardly understand
why We must observe meatless days.
but if we show a spirit to HELM win
the war at all no sidestepping must
occur The program must be rigidly
| followed.
In the great food establishments and
stores it will be possible for the govern
ment to keep up with the amounts
OF flour sold but in the homes of the
| country, reliance will be had only up
en- the patriotic observance of the ra-
tiening schedule. The call for cur
tailed consumption OF wheat and flour
in this country is without question
necessary, and the fact that the govern
ment has taken this method of reach
ing the people and securing results
ought to be enough to secure our at
tention. WK

There is struggle of tremendous pro

KINDLY GERMAN LANDLORDS

While daily accounts of atrocitie
come from the war fronts regarding
German cruelties, others come iron
within Germany, This one being print
ed in a German magazine and reprint
ed by translation in this country:
"A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives Of soldiers has been brought
TO our attention from upper LANCE
nau in Silesia One of The hired
men of Dr. Mueller's agricultural
estate has been for a long time
at the front His wife, who had
worked alongside her husband be-
fore the war after the usual Gus
tom, remained in the ranks of
the field hands and accordingly
retained her farm cottage. Octo-
Der 1 this woman got the follow
ing letter:
The undersigned baliff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as
of this date to the field service for
January 1, 1918. On that day
you are to give up your house.
The work which you are doing on
the farm does not compensate
the farm fer the loss which ac-
crues to it through the continued
support of your family. Look out
for yourself away form this farm,
your house is needed for other
USE
"The woman communicated
the notice to her husband with
these words: L must tell you my
distress, soon | shall not be able
to see the paper for my tears
What shall | do? Winter is at
the door and the cottage is full
of little children

PATRIOTIC MAIL CARRIER

To a Florida mail carrier belongs
the honor and the credit for making
the largest number of sales of War
Savings Stamps of any postal carrier
n the United States. This honor be-
longs to John Muench, city carrier
in the Tampa Post Office. He was
officially cited in the Postoffice bull
letin for April as leading all carriers
in the sale up to that date, about
s15, 100000 since that time Muench
has doubled this figure and 1t is safe
to assume he is still far in the lead
of any other carrier in the United
States.
Muench was born in Philadelphia
and has been in the postal service six
years. He was formerly a brick ma.
son and is veteran OF the Spanish.
American war. He was the first man
n the state of Florida to make ST..
900 sale and since that time has
made thirteen more, making total
of fourteen. He hopes to sell during
the year at least $4,000 worth of this
splendid security which the Govern
ment is offering to the people.

START WORK ON NEW
! AIR SCHOOL AT MIAMI

Miami, May 17.-Work will be
started on the big army aero station
and bombing school to be built on the
bay front fourteen miles south of Mi
ami on what has been commonly
called the Cutler site, when a gang of
100 laborers will be set to work clear
ing the ground for the first set of
buildings.
This announcement was made this
afternoon by j. o. st. John, head OF
the st. John Construction Company
of this city, which yesterday secured
the contract from the War Depart
Iment for the work, the estimated cost
of which is 100000 for the first unit,
consisting of thirty buildings, includ-
ing officers quarters, barracks, mess
halls and four steel hangers.
The firm of Wolf & Ewing will be
associated with the st. John Company
in the work.
Mr.. St. John was notified by tele-
gram last night that his firm was the
successful bidder and was notified to
begin construction operations at
once. The work will be under the
direction of Lieut.. Helmle of the quar-
masters department, who has been
here for several days investigating
conditions at the site and devising
tlans for the early work.
Arrangements were being made by
the contractors this afternoon with
truck owners for hauling the labor
ers back and forth to the site until
buildings are erected for their hous-
ing.
Mr. st. John said- the first building
to be put up will be an Office for the
contractors.
It is expected that from 1900 to
1000 men will be required in the work
Oh the camp, a number of which will
probably be increased gradually as
the units are extended, the contract
Just signed being for the first unit.
This will be built on high ground
fronting the country road.
1t is the plan to develop the school
until ultimately 1000 flyers are grad
uated each month, only advance fly
ers being accepted here.
