traitor of Grady county, tod>S ISSUED
the following statement concerning
the food situation in this county, also
regarding the manner in which the
rules OF the administration are being
observed in this county:
TOO many complaints are reach
ing my office in regard to grocers
who are not requiring their custom
ers to sign sugar and flour receipts.
Several customers themselves have
reported grocers who have not even
asked them to sign the receipts,
This signing of slips is not fad of
mine, but an order from the food
administration and 1t Is not joke
as some of the grocers will learn
when l order the wholesale houses
and mills to discontinue selling these
gocers any goods. ~
why a customer who claims to be
a citizen of the United States should
refuse to sign slips is more than |
can understand. 1t doesn't cost any
thing, and does not injure anyone.
/ have warned these people and any
complaints coming in from now on
will be handled by the Council of De-
fense. If these people cannot follow
the requests of their government,
they should be interned as friends of
the kaiser. l appreciate the help re-

works, the effect of which has been

| for Rock Island arsenal troops
The executive heads. of practically

to the commission and its under

support of the association"
zone thing that impressed me
strongly" said President Jayne
was the deep feeling of patriotism
among the teachers of the National
! Association of Physical Training
who met at the same time Many OF
them were Germans, owing to the
amount Of attention that Germany
has always paid to formal gymnas-
tics in her turnvereins, but [ heard
man after man, some with pro-
nounced German accents, making
pleas for better physical training
for our boys SO as to fit them for
war and peace"
President Jayne told of the de-
crease by so per cent OF the supply
of recreation leaders, who have
gone into war work. and the diff
Guilty of replacing them. He said
that the educational and moral
standards for those teachers would
be maintained but that the physical
standards and age limit would have
to be lowered. Only limited num-
Der of women can be used for this
work. In his presidents address he
emphasized the valve of war camp
community service work both for
