While the purchasers are entitled
to the thanks of the Red Cross, the
good work of the auctioneers, ,Messrs

New Rule Governing the
Purchase of Flour


The IT, S. Food Administration has
issued a proclamation stating that it
will be unlawful for any dealer to
sell at any one time more than one
sack of flour to a customer that re-
sides in town, and not more than
two sacks of flour to customer that
resides in the country-also such
proclamation makes it obligatory on
dealers, that with every pound of
wheat flour sold, it is sold with the
provision that the customer be re-
quired to purchase half as much
lbstitute. This substitute may be
any other cereal except wheat.
All dealers will be governed by the
above requirements-and trust that
their customers will show their 10y
atty to our country by adjusting
| themselves to this necessity.
