HORL|CK HAD
TOO MUCH FLOUR

A. J. Horlick, head of the Horlick's
Matter Milk Co., Of Racine, from which
the state food administrator took H.
900 barrels of wheat flour, has tele-
graphed to Washington for personal
interview with Herbert Hoover, feder-
al food administrator
1t was reported to State Food Ad-
ministrator Swensen that the flour at
the Horlick plant was of a low grade
and could not be used by bakers.
However, an examination disclosed
the fact that 1908 barrels were 100
per cent pure patent wheat flour, r.
500 barrels 95 per cent pure, and only
500 barrels of low grade.
The 1900 barrels of excess flour
were turned over to the United States
grain corporation in Chicago and will
be paid for by the government at cost.
1t will probably be shipped to France.

MOTHER

Earl McGilvra of Prairie du Sac
sends the following letter, received
from his brother Russell, who has been
in France for some time past:
Somewhere in France.
May Is, 1918.
Dear Brother Earl:
Received your letter of April 10 0.
K, a few days ago, and was glad to
hear you folks at home are all well.
| have been looking for letter for a
month, but last Sunday l got four, so
that accounts for it.
The card | mailed to you of my ar
rival overseas safely | mail when we
got on the boat, and they keep them
until the boat lands here and then they
mail them again. By SO doing they
earlier. Are having some weather
here, believe me. At present it rains
one hour, and the other hour cloudy.
This is the worst country for rain I
have struck since | started out.
Have not received the tobacco yet
that you sent April g. 1 do not think
| will get it now. Since April l if we
get anything from home we have to
send an order signed by the captain
of our company, so you won't have to
bother to send any more, as we can
get it quite reasonably here where we
are now when we have money, but that
we don't see very often. Have not
had a pay day for two months and do
not know when pay day will show
himself around our camp, either.
The last pay day was after we were
here about month. We sure had
some money then, as they kept our
pay back when we were in the states
for two months.
I am making an allotment each pay
day so | will have some money if |
ever step into the good old United
States again.
One of the Just boys from Prairie
du Sac is in the same company | am.
They send him the Sank News, so
get some news from around home.
Have not got the Baraboo Daily News
you sent me yet. Sure would like to
get hold of one, as we don't see but
a very few papers.
Are only allowed to write one letter
a week, so have to make up for lost
time. Will be looking for a letter
from home. Give my best regards to
the rest of the folks and be sure to not
forget to send some papers.
Your brother,
PVT. Russell McGILVRA.

SWENSON LIMITS
ALL SUGAR SALES
No Householder Can Buy More
Than Twenty-Five Pounds for
Canning

Limit sales of sugar to town or
city consumers to two pounds and
sales to rural consumers to five
pounds" Magnus Swenson notifies
the county food administrators.
'No householder can buy more
than twenty-five pounds of sugar for
canning purposes, except on special
permit from their local food admins
traitor"
Each retailer must keep sugar
book for the inspection of the county
food administrators, in which all sales
of sugar, with name of buyer, shall
be recorded. Violations by retailers
will cut off their sugar supply.
These drastic measures are sug-
gested by National Food Admins
traitor Hoover because of the dimin-
ishing sugar supply and approach
ing canning season.

Carry Gas Masks

The following letter was received
by Mrs John Kier from her son Way
land, Somewhere in France"
Dear Mother and All:
[ haven't written a letter in two
weeks. 1t was because we have been
busy moving. Well, mother, l am up
to the front now. I can hear the big
guns roar and see aeroplane fights all
times of the day Sure some excite
ment. They are chasing German
plane back now with anti-aircraft guns.
l like it a good deal better up here
than | did where we were, because
there is something doing all the time.
| sure had some trip with the motor
cycle when we moved. The speedom-
eter registered 243 miles when I ar
rived, so you see | saw quite little
of France. 1 saw some of the prettiest
scenery one ever laid his eyes on One
of the prettiest places was when I
went through the mountains.
We have to carry our gas masks
with us all the time now. I have my
rifle strapped on the motorcycle, and
also my steel helmet. I am going up
to see the trenches in a few days.
Gee! [ am anxious to see them.
Oh, yes, / must tell you about the
trout stream | saw on my trip. We
happened to stop near a bridge and
1 went over and looked down in the
stream, and the trout were so thick
they could hardly swim. l didn't stop
long, as [ was ahead of the truck
train.
l received two Of your letters yes
terday-one from Shirley and one from
Hugh, which l was sure glad to get.
Since [ have been up here at the
front I have had five punctures. There
are so many of these hob nails that
come out of the mems shoes that you
can't help but pick them up in your
tires
| had to take an order out about ten
miles last night about 9 o'clock, and
coming back it just poured, and I got
soaked through. 1 couldn't see my
hand in front of me. Of course you
see we aren't allowed to use any lights
at ALL Have been having just fine
weather.
Well, had my first bath since I ar
rived in France. Sim Hillebrandt and
l went down in the motorcycle to a
canal and went swimming.
Oh, yes, | must tell you that I was
reduced to a f1rst-class private, as
they found out that a motorcycle driv.
-er is not supposed to be corporal.
should worry, though, as l got one
months pay. There is only three dol
lars difference in the pay, so l don't
care. | would rather drive as a first
class private than be a corporal and
not drive.
Those pictures were fine of you and
papa and those of Marjorie and Eliza.

, come, believe me.
Did Hugh tell you about the piece
he sent me about the kaiser 1t sure
was good one. You should have seen
the French people look when I went
through the towns on my trip. I do
not think they had ever seen any
American soldiers before Once in a
while 1 run across Frenchmen who
