5. Above does not apply to
maple, corn or grape sugar.
6. Pending their allowance
to be made by the State office of
the Food Administration, retail
ers may secure interim certifi-
Gates for purchasing sugar from
County Food Administrator by
filing statement of needs for
thirty days supply.
Z. Flour may be sold under
the same restrictions as hereto
fore, dealers exercising all care
possible that no one receives
more than six pounds per month
per person. When sold without
substitutes, the required pledge
as to substitutes must be taken
and preserved.
To Consumers.
From the above restrictions on
the sale of flour and sugar, it is
evident to our leaders that the
food situation is or may become
critical. 1t should not be for
gotten that the success of any
plan for conservation of food
stuffs rests finally with the indi-
vidual consumer. The people of
this county have shown their
willingness to make all sacrifices
for the cause of the country in
war, and it is taken for granted
that they will also show in the
matter of conservation of food
stuffs that same willingness to
cooperate. Whether the card
system for distribution of the
essential food commodities shall
be adopted rests entirely with
the people. / do not believe that
any act of the people Of Noxubee
county will ever cause us to be
put on a rationing system.
JAS. G.. CHANDLER,
County Food Administrator.

RUMORS were SURE FAKE
Peace Hopes Took Sudden Slump
Last Evening.

Mankato's peace hopes came to
earth with a sudden slump last even
ing after they had scared to the most
sublime heights during the afternoon
After parading and celebrating
throughout the afternoon people were
planning on making the evening
merry with their celebration as well
when the reports and extra editions
of the Twin City papers arrived in
the city, announcing the fact that the
rumors were a mere fake as far as
could be officially learned.
These were the same reports re-
ceived and published in the Free Prss
and displayed on the Free Press bull :
letin board during the afternoon In
the high tide of excitement that had
been caused by the false rumors peo-
pie were inclined to regard any ques
tioning of the news as an effort to
"hang crepe" When the definite
news arrived in the evening however
peoples hopes were down with a
noticeable slump, there was little or
no celebrating and the general senti-
ment was Il said it was too good to
be true"

From the number of dodgers at the

Seefeld is alleged to have said to a
couple of small boys who were carry :

Hallnan stated however that this

DRAWS Carnegie MEDAL
AL KlRCHER Is REMEMBERED
FOR BRAVERY IN MANKATO
Man Was Trying To Commit
Suicide BY Drowning When
Kircher Swan After and
Brought Him Out

Albert M. Kircher, formerly sur
veyor at the county surveyors of
flee, and popular young man about
town, has been awarded a Carnegie
medal for bravery. Mr.. Kircher is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Kircher
who lived on Belgrade avenue, North
Mankato, but who moved to Califor-
mia some time ago. He is now in the
United States service at Washington
D. G..
The brave act which Mr.. Kircher
was awarded the Carnegie medal &C.
CURED over year ago. One day
when he was crossing the Main street
bridge he observed a man fall over
the bridge railing into the water. The
man was trying to commit suicide but
Mr.. Kircher thought it an accident
Being strong and athletic young
man he sprinted across the bridge
and followed the bobbing figure of
the drowning man as it floated down
the river. Being an expert swimmer
he plunged into the icy water and
fought his way to the drowning man
whom he brought safely to shore de-
spite his struggles and the rough
current of the river which was swol-
len by frequent rains. The mans
life was saved, and the incident Gre
ated considerable stir locally, as
everyone recognized that Mr. Kircher
had risked his life to save that of
the rash and unknown stranger.
Friends of the brave young man were
of the opinion that he deserved a
Carnegie medal if anyone ever de-
served one, and unknown to Mr..
Kircher informed the proper parties
who Immediately secured evidence
of the circumstances, and the award :
ing of the medal to Mr.. Kircher re-
suited.
