be something doing" for the Boy
Scouts are arranging for an evening
OF Scout "stunts," speaking, and
songs. Every scout should be pres
ent to know his part and be prepar-

cation cards" authorizing them to
act as President Wilson's aides have
not reached the scoutmaster but the
scouts are so we'll known to the peo-
pie of Chickasha and have demon
strated their loyalty and efficiency
in so many patriotic duties that the
scoutmaster has no hestitancy in
sending them out, in the absence of
cards of Identification, to carry the
governments message to the people.
AS soon as these cards are received
each scout who has performed faith
fully his duty, will receive one, and
in after years it will be a record of
the part took in helping the govern
ment to win the war and in bringing
through victory to the nations of
the world an universal peace.
Only two more meetings before
registration closes for the year 1918

ter should bring his fee

RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON
SALE Of SUGAR AND FLOUR
Retail Dealers May Not Sell Either
Commodity In Bulk Without
Special Permission

Henry NJ. Hoyt, food administrat-
or for Nevada, announces the fol-
lowing government rules and regu-
lations to guide wholesalers and re-
tailers in the sale of sugar and flour.
Sugar should be sold in towns
and cities to consumers in to II
pound quantities.; to farm and rural
customers in to 11-pound quanti-
ties; to ranchers % miles or more
from market not to exceed l5 lbs
per person in the households with
out special permission from this of
fee
Flour in towns and cities should
be sold in eighth to quarter-barrel
quantities; to ranchers 25 miles or
more from market not to exceed one
eighth barrel to each person in his
household without special permis-
sion from this office.
ANY advertisements tending to
induce customers to increase their
purchases of sugar or flour during
the present crisis are decidedly
against public policy. The best in
terest of the merchant will be CON
served in the long run by advancing
the use of other foods. You are re-
quested not to sell flour or sugar to
persons who are not your regular
customers, this being intended to
avoid duplication of purchases.
Wholesale groeers shall not sell
sugar in quantities in excess of 1000
pounds at a time to dealer. Sugar
should not be shipped on back ord
ers, nor without a positive order
from the buyer Wholesale grocers
should use every precaution at their
command to prevent duplication of
sales which may give a retailer the
opportunity to have more sugar than
is necessary for conservation distri-
button, as outlined in the second
paragraph of this letter.
Retailers who sell sugar should
not secure over 1c per pound profit,
over and above prices laid in store.
Retailers of -four should not Sc
cure over $1OO per barrel above
cost laid in store.

Senator Henderson contends.
Those exemptions, he says, have

more than an exception.
Senator Henderson, who now
seeks to correct whet he terms the

and fair upon its face.
The long and short haul question
