FLOUR PURCHASES CUT
FOOD ADMINISTRATION LIMITS PUR-
CHASEs TO TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS

An order has Just been issued
from the Office of the State Food
Administrator at Aberdeen limit
ing the amount Of wheat flour
which may be purchased at one
time to twenty-five pounds. This
must be accompanied by the
substitutes, of course. The rule
applies here in Haakon county
with the same force as east of
the river except that ranchers
may purchas flour in quantities
of not more than two hundred
pounds. Many. Of our readers
are learning that they can get
along witht very little wheat
flour, and find the limitations on
its use no such hardship as it
seemed at first. In, this con.
nection it is interesting to note
that the state Of Texas has offer
ed to suspend the use of wheat
flour entirely if the food admin.
stration requests such action.

FURNISH MORE SOLDIERS

The calls for more men for the
army are now coming thick and
fast. This means several things
that the newspapers are not
commenting on. One Of the
most important is that men
are now at last being moved
very rapidly to France. A
round quarter Of a million men
have been called for May
which. by the way, is just ten
times the authorized standing
army Of the United States ten
years ago. South Dakota is to
send 1859 men as its quota. The
allotment of Haakon county will
be about IL. This number will
be called to report for service
within the next week or ten days
by the local board.

WOMEN WILL Be INTERESTED IN
THE GOWNS WORN IN 1.-THE WHIP

All women will be very much
interested in the stylish, smart
costumes that are worn by all
the actresses in appearing in
The Whip" These costumes
are of the very latest design and
the most fashionable cut. In
fact they are patterned after the
gowns worn by the leaders in
New York's most exclusive cir
cles.
All women who see "The
Whip" will be particularly inte-
rested in the hunting costumes
worn in one of the big scenes in
this big production. These cost
umes are the real thing, mas
much as the hunt itself is the
real thing. The pictures of this
particular scene were taken
during the progress of the an
nual event held by one of the
most famous hunt clubs in the
world. The costumes worn by
the men and by the women are
right up to the minute in design
and in smartness. This smart
ness is particularly effective in
the big hunt dinner, held after
the conclusion of the days event.
The air of smartness that pre-
vades every scene of The Whip"
makes the classiest production
ever made.

Below is a portion of a letter
received from Irwin Lins this
week:
Well mamma dear, / was up in
the air today. l had just got
through with the engine on a
new plane we had just finished
lining up and Sear9ant Burns
said he was going to have Leiu-
tenant Merrick try the new bird
out. | had worked pretty hard and
when the lieutenant, who does
most of the flying of our planes
came around this afternoon, he
said he would try the machine
out and asked Sergeant Burns to
60 with him, the Sergeant told
him he did not care to 60 up and
said he would rather the leiu-
tenant would take me up instead
because / had never gone up in a
machine. So the Lieutenant
told me to 60 in and get helmet
and goggles and he would give
me a real ride. So, of course ]
did.
We were up about 10000 feet
in the air and staid up about a
half or three quarters Of an hour.
That was one of the greatest
events of my life, I'll tell you.
When he turned around in the
air. that is made a circle, he
banked the machine and instead
|of being level it would be stand
ing sideways. OF course every
driver banks his machine that
way SO he can turn sideways.
Icannot describe the sensations
| experienced. All l can say is
that it was simply grand. An
automobile does not interest me
in the least any more. If can
set into the Ground school | am
going to do it. because you have
to 60 through the ground school
before you can 90 to flying
school. As soon as ground school
Is opened again. in does my ap-
plication. take it from me. If |
