Flour at Rate of
$40 per Barrel

We have received a car of
Old-Fashioned Low Grade
Flour in 140-lb. sacks. We
are selling it to merchants at
a price that will enable them
to retail this at the rate of
$1,000 per barrel, or about
$3.50 per barrel less than the
higher grades. Of course,
this Low Grade Flour re-
quires the same amount of
substitutes. A year ago we
were selling many cars of
Old-Fashioned Low Grade
Flour for human consump-
ton.

The Faces IN the Crowd.

DO Won ever watch the faces
The faces in the crowd?
The faces that are kindly,
That are cruel, that are proud2
Watch the wrinkles and grimaces
Wherewith Time 5 finger traces
The ever changing faces
Of the ever changing crowd?
Do you ever sean the faces
The faces of the crowd?
The faces that are naughty
And the faces that are -cowed?
Where hard by Pagan beauty
Walks the solemn soul of duty,
And the scholar frail is iostled
BY the ruffian beetle brow d.
What shifting panorama
Form the faces of the crowd
In the never ending drama
OF the faces IN the crowd;
And the highest inspiration
And the saddest degradation
Leave their imprint on the features
Of the faces in the crowd
Christ saw, of old, as we are told
The faces i'll the crowd,
And " He had compassion on them
For he was God-endowed;
And the crowd is still the same:
Still defeat, and grief and shame
Show like shadows, pass like shadows,
| Der the faces in the crowd
Somehow there is inspiration
| In the faces of the crowd;
| Tho some are base and cruel
| Yet some are pure and proud;
| And we seek the Saint not vainly
Where the traffic roars insanely
In the current of the torrent
| Of the mad. mysterious crowd.
| Let the student of dead letters,
Of their lingual gifts be proud;
| Let philosophers and stoics
/ Rank themselves as heaven endowed
| Deeper than the lore of sages,
| Is the riddle of the ages
On the palpitating pages
| OF the faces in the crowd
And that is why ! strive to read
The faces in the crowd;
| Half revealing, half eoncealing,
/ Thoughts that have inspired or cowed
| Each wave or thought and motion,
Merging in an astral ocean,
Till they fuse beyond our vision,
/ Like the vapor and the cloud,
/ ARTHUR GOODENOUGH.

The announcement that, as one of
the first steps toward solving the
Irish problem, the British government
intends to seize the 10000 rifles said
to be concealed in Ulster. seems to in
dictate that the British government is
at last on the point of approaching the
solution of this problem in the right
manner. There can be no differcntia
tiOn between Ulster and the south of
Ireland in the application of home rule.
1t must be home rule for all of Ire
land or none of it, and armed opposi-
tion by Obstetrics is no more to be toll
Grated than armed opposition by the
Sim Fem. Now that the government
has declared its intentions, and seems
to mean business, the settlement of the
Irish problem in the only manner that
holds out any hope of permanency
should be brought about without fur.

mer is afraid keep the wheat on ac- count of weevils Therefore, we would be glad if you would have ev- cry County Food Administrator make his own rule so as to allow the far mer is afraid to keep the wheat on &C., supply to meet this case. He may draw his flour at the rate of twelve pounds per month per dependent. It may also be desirable to encourage the creation of some flour milling ca pacity in centers to serve these com munities by the conversion of corn mill or otherwise for this purpose"
 (Signed) Hoover.
 The above simply means that if the farmer wishes, he may draw IA pounds of flour for each member of his family at milling time. The rule of limiting his consumption to twelve pounds per person per month still applies.
 It means further that each county administrator should interest himself in seeing that there is flour milling capacity not too remote from his pco- pie to take care of their milling needs. If necessary it will be well to convert corn mill capacity in some places to flour mill capacity. A eau tion should be taken that if this is done, and the miller becomes a flour manufacturer, he should apply for a license. q t sss
 As we see it, this is a very sweep ing modification of the flour rules in favor of the wheat growing farmers lin Arkansas. The spirit of this telegram further guarantees to the wheat producers that the Food Ad- minisration will take ample care of the farmers who for patriotic reasons add materially to the wheat produc- tion of his state.
 Very truly yours, I Hamp Williams, Federal Food Administrator for Ar kansas.

 Cars must be kept moving prompt ly as production is only limited to the available supply of empties and transportation facilities to move it. The necessity of conservation was never greater than now.

From the present estimates of the country's coal requirements, it seems evident that sufficient coal will not be transported to all parts of the country to satisfy the needs of all consumers.
 This has made it necessary to es- tablish Preference List designed to insure coal supply to industries con- sidered most essential to the govern ment's war policies. A eomprehen- sive Distribution program has also been formulated, through which the coal production of the country must be regulated and directed This pro- gram is to be carried out by the Fuel Administration, cooperating with the War Industries Board.
 All consumers of coal, except do- mestic, are to be classified under the following heads, in the order named: Railroads, Army and Navy, and oth- CT Federal Departments, State and County Departments and Institutions, Public utilities, Retail Dealers, Manufacturing Plants, Jobbers, Lake and Tidewater Trade.
 This program provides that the State Fuel Administrator shall have entire responsibility and authority for the distribution of coal allotted to his state.
 The regulations must necessarily be much more stringent during the coming winter than ever before which makes all the more imperative the placing of orders Now for next winters supply. The public has been cooperating effectively but there is much yet to be done.
 Orders must be placed in sufficient volume to insure the mines being kept in operation constantly How ever, it cannot be expected that all orders for storage for next winters use can be filled at once, but will be

MIGHTY ENEMY BLOW IS NEAR
Associated Press Summary.)

t-~NDO~~~~~~-
 A mighty enemy blow is apparent 1y imminent. Tension is increasing, especially along the British front in France, where German artillery fire is growing in intensity, while infan- try operation has been resumed along the Italian mountain front. The Germans are reported to be concen- trating troops and supplies north west of Chateau-T -Thierry, where the Americans are holding a sector. Ae- rial fighting is severe near the Amer jean lines.
 Meanwhile the French continue to perfect defensive positions between the Aisne and the Marne rivers. The French lines were advanced in the re- gions of Villers-Cotterets and St. Pierre Aigle. Three hundred and sixty-five prisoners were taken.
 The Italians, while preparing for eventualities west of Brenta, reoc- cupied the height of Monte Di Val bella and gained fortified point on Sasto Rooso. The Italians captured eight hundred prisoners in the Monte Di Valbella operation. Vienna claims the advance was checked.
 The Germans attempted an air raid on Paris again Sunday night. The property damage was slight and casualties few.
