Judge Owen County Food
Administrators.

Judge A. B. Owen, of this city, ha:
been appointed Food Administrato,
of Bates county, vice J. E. Harper
who resigned on account of pressing
private business. Mr.. Harper has
made very efficient official, but in
order to properly attend to the duties
of the office it was necessary to de-
vote several hours per day to it and
it was impossible for him to spare
the time from his business.
: The appointment of Judge Owens
is good one, as he possesses the
necessary executive ability and ener-
gy to make a first class official.
There is no salary connected with the
position and the duties are many and
and will be more compli-
Gated from this time on.

May Kill Hens After Friday.

Columbia, Mo-. April I3.-The rule
prohibiting licensed dealers from
dealing in live or freshly killed hens
between February II and April 80
has been amended to end at mid
night, April 10, a. telegram from the
United States Food Administration

Farmers are warned not to glut
the market with the ending of the
"closed season" on hens, as too many
fowls on the market may result in
food losses. Poultry stock should be
sold gradually. Farmers will have
better markets if they avoid Cutting
them. Universal marketing of fowls
may react on prices as we'll as cause
spoilage of dressed poultry.
