OBITUARY.
MOUDRY.

J. C. Moudry, the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank K. Moudry, was born
April rs, 1890, on farm in New Ore
gon twp, where he grew to manhood.
following his chosen vocation as farm
er. He worked continuously with his
father on the homestead fam where
he spent all of the 27 years, 9 months
and days of his life.
Joe was a loving son, kind and hon.
est, an Industrious worker and always
ready to help those in need of any as
sistance. .~r
Though seeming apparently we'll, he
was ailing, but seldom complained and
when on Tuesday morning, Jan. %. he
arose later than the rest of the family
as was his custom, and got ready to
begin another days. work, he died sud-
denly.
Though when discovered by his moth
er life was not yet extinct but passed
away few minutes later. Medical aid
was at once summoned but arrived too
late to be Of any assistance. He.leaves
to mourn his death his father and moth
er, a brother Frank J. Moudry, and
one sister, Mrs. Jas. Svoboda.
Funeral services were Thursday at
the Holy Trinity Church at Protivin,
and the remains were laid to rest in
the adjoining cemetery.
earn oE THANKS
We wish to thank our many friends
and neighbors who 80 kindly assisted
US during the death of our beloved son
and brother.

Red Cross Notes.

Three more boxes of surgical dress
ings were shipped to divisional head
quarters at Chicago from the Cresco
chapter on January 81. These boxes
contained 1856 dressings, and with
! the previous shipments, for the month
of January make total of 6424 dress
ings for the month while our promised
output was but 2675. All Iowa chap
ters have now been given monthly
quota, but the director of this appor-
tionment evidently does not know
what we can do, for we have been
asked to make 100 absorbent pads,
100 heel rigs. 500 2x2 wipes, so SOUL
tetus bandages, "And as many more
as possible" We can easily do three
times this quota, and the sooner a
great supply is accumulated the surer
we may be that there will be no great
catastrophe for want Of them. This
is the season that housekeepers usual
ly take for getting extra sewing ready
for the summer, and more time can
probably be spent away from home
work now than later, when garden
ing comes on. So let us speed up
while we may.
The Christmas membership drive
resulted in 2297 new annual members,
6SS renewals of annual memberships,
94 new subscribing members, and two
renewals of subscribing memberships.
This, with five life members makes a
total enrolment of 3OS6 for this chap
ter.
Earl Henry subscribed for 25 men,
berships to be credited to persons un-
able to contribute.
Money contributions to the local
work during the month of January
were as follows:

The Saver the Best Customer.

Which kind of customer would you
prefer to have, Mr.. Merchant.
The man who. as soon as he gets q
dollar, rushes into your store and
spends it for something, whether he
needs it or not, and then, when he is
out of work, hasn't cent to his name
and comes around begging you for
credit?
Or, the man who, while earning
money, spends q little less than he
makes, saving something for a rainy
day, and always has something laid by
to tide him over periods of adversely.
~ Which kipd of man makes the best
customer in the long run? Which do
you lose the most money on, the care
full savers or the quick spenders?
Every man, woman or child who in
vests in United States War Savings
Stamps automatically sthps from the
ranks of hasty spenders to those of
savers, Every dollar saved is invested
in the worlds best security, drawing
good interest. Every stamp bought
can be cashed at the postoffice, at full
face value, with interest added, in
time Of need. People who own these
stamps won't be coming around to you,
Merchant, the next time crops are bad
or times are slack, begging for lcng
credit. They will have money of their
own.
Sell War Savings and Thrift stamps
in your store Boost for them all the
time and everywhere. They are max
ing safe. responsible customers for you
all the time.

Local Flour Distribution Ordered.

To conserve the stock of flour, whea
and sugar in this country so as to pro
vide an adequate supply for ,ur allies
and our expeditionary forces, the
United States Food Administrator
made certain orders to all dealers anc
manufacturers of flour and dealers in
flour and sugar.
The most important rule is the one
known as the fifty fifty" rule which
provides that commencing Feb. Isl
and continuing until further notice,
no retail dealer shall sell wheat -four
to any person unless such. person pur'
chases from him at the same time one
pound Of wheat flour substitutes fol
every pound of wheat flour purchased,
the substitutes being named as follows
corn -four, corn meal, edible corn
starch. hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice. rice
-four, potato flour, buckwheat flour,
beans, and few fours not generally
known or carried by retail Dealers A
later ruling adds potatoes to the list on
the basis of pounds to a pound of
flour.
A retailer may not sell over one.
fourth barrel of flour to any city or
town customer nor over one-half barrel
to any rural customer.
Sugar sales are restricted to not over
5 pounds to any city or town customer,
nor over 10 pounds to any rural custo-
mer.
Dealers in flour are asked to work to.
gether to make certain that no con.
sumer is securing more than his prop.
er share, and in cases where they have
reason to believe any consumer is
boarding to call the matter Immediate
ly to the attention of the Food Admin
istrators, of this county, John McCook
and w. L. Barker. 2
The Food Commodities Licensing Act
prescribes a penalty of $4,000 fine, two
years imprisonment, or both, for hoard
ing.
Patrons of our -four dealers should
not ask them to break the rules pre-
scribed by the Food Administration. To
do 80 would be unfair to other patrons
and also subject the dealer to a heavy
penalty for so doing. Tote fair.
There is plenty of food for all if hoard
ing is done away with and fair distri-
button made, and this is the sole OBJ
ject OF the rules promulgated.
