Dunham Porter Says Negro Endure d
TOrtures FOOling With Corn
Doctor

The heading sounds like an adver-
tisement but it isn't. A reporter went
into the Dunham billiard hall and
barber shop to get a shine Sunday
morning and noticed that the porter
wore only skeletons Of shoes-less
than sandals, because only the soles
and little cord of the lining passed
over the top of the foot to hold them
on. Remarking upon this the porter
volunteered the information that the
trouble was "corns," lots of them and
painful too. 81 have tried all kinds
of dope and it's no use, little piece
of soap between the toes, corn doc
tors and all of it," said the porter.
Another colored gentleman standing
near suggested that some of the stree
fakirs occasionally accomplished
wonders in corn relief and the first
colored gentleman replied in the fol-
lowing little story:
"No coan docto's for me. / knew
a gentleman onct who cum to town
advertising hisself as painless coan
docto. He had on display all kinds
of ugly nasty looking coans he had
taken from peoples feet and u frien
of mine went to have coan removed.
The docto cut too deep and started the
toe bleedin and couldn't stop it and
cut his toe off; that didn't stop it and
he cut his foot off above the ankle;
that didn't stop it and they cut his
leg off above the knee and now that

learn who Shorty was but took for
granted the cutting went on up to
the neck.

fuses for any reason to accept, you
should endeavor to place the flour
with some other dealer in the COM
munity; and If unable TO make dis
position Of any quantity offered for
return, communicate with Walter
Innes, Federal Food Administrator,
Wichita, Kas., at once.
(lf any dealer refuses to cooper
ate with the Food Administration, and
refuses to perform his patriotic duty
in accepting returned flour, please re-
port this at once.)
s. Dealers are presumed to act in
this matter and receive returned flour
without any compensation for this
service, other than the knowledge
that they have performed patriotic
duty; thought if the occasion demands
it might be suggested that they will
receive and are entitled to the Gus
tomary profit obtained in disposing
of the substitutes sold with this flour,
in the event that they again sell it.
6. The price allowed for all flour
returned should be the price paid for
the flour, provided this price is not
in excess of the current retail price
effective in your community at the
present time. In adopting this basis,
it is assumed that the flour is worth
only what the buyer would have to
pay for it today, so that the current
retail price, as a basis, would seem
to be a fair and proper value to be
fixed rs the maximum to be allowed.
Z. The dealer should either pay
consumers for the flour returned, or
give them a receipt or due-bill for the
amount, until this office can author
ize other settlement; this latter meth
cd being suggested in cases where
the dealer would be burdener or en-
barrassed in the financing of flour
returned.

E. M. Stamp and G W. Barrett OF

a part of last week looking for spec

Finally some Baxter Springs booster
met them and advised that they come
here. They came in Sunday after
noon and started to walk from the
Frisco depot down into the business
section of the town and were overtak-
en- by C E. Phillips of the Globe
Clothing store in his automobile who
invited them to ride. They accepted
the invitation and in the short talk
with Mr.. Phillips mentioned their
purpose in coming to Baxter Springs
The booster spirit in Mr. Phillips was
aroused and he determined to do
what he could to assist in getting
these gentlemen interested in Bax-
ter Springs, so letting his good Sun
Gay dinner wait he drove them over
the town, showed them its advantages
and opportunities in such favor

become owners Of property and resi-

owed him and were more than sur
prised to learn that the ride was
complimentary and rendered by q
booster in a booster spirit They
wanted to know if there were many
such fellows in Baxter Springs as
their entertainer and when told the
town was full of them, promised to
look this particular one up when they
located here and favor him in every
possible way. Mrs. Phillips was dis
posed to be uneasy and somewhat out
of patience at the delay caused to her
Sunday dinner but when Mr.. Phillips
and his little son told her what they
had been up to her booster spirit was
as pronounced as that of the male
portion of the family and the late
dinner developed into a booster BAN

EMERGENCY CALL FOR ALL
SURPLUS FLOUR IN THE
HANDS OF CONSUMERS
DON'T Be GUILTY HOARD|NG
Read Rules Carefully AS One Is
Liable To Federal PrOsecu-
tiOn for HOarding of
Flour

The following sent to Chairman OF
the Retailers Association, Fairfax
Barnes, should be read carefully by
every household in Baxter Springs.
Under this emergency measure any
one may be careless enough to be
prosecuted by boarding:
An emergency call has been made
by the U. S. Food Administration for
the return of all surplus flour in the
hands of consumers, and the appeal
asks all persons holding more than a
thirty day supply to turn this back
to their. dealers before May 18th.
The urgency of the situation, in
creased by the great need of. our Al
lies abroad and The shortage of sup
plies in some Of our communities, ne
cessitates prompt action in making a
proper distribution of our stocks Of
flcur. The appeal is therefore made
to the loyalty Of every patriotic citi-
zen to cooperate with the Food Ad-
m inistration in this matter and to as
sist in making q survey of our avail
allie supply. To this end it becomes
nc cessary to call FOR all flour over and
al owe an amount needed for thirty
days in every family:-which need is
b. sed upon six pounds of flour to
e. h person for the thirty day period.
he Food Administration does not
want to work any hardship upon con-
sumers, and in exceptional cases,
where it is found that families should
be allowed more than a thirty day
su ,ply, due consideration will be CIV
@, the matter and the request grant
ef but before permission will be Civ
CT the matter must be fully reported
to The Local Administrator and by
hi reported to Mr.. Walter lnnes,
tn, Federal Fool Administrator, who
W 4 pass upon the request and advise
q, ion. Failure to comply with the
81 :rit of this call before May 10Th
would make the offender guilty OF
he arding under the federal statutes;
yo. it is expected that the call will
be viewed as a patriotic duty and
that all will show Willingness to
share some part of the burden OF this
war and in this instance will aid the
Food Administration by making
prompt return of the surplus or an
immediate return of the supply.
Following are some of the rules
governing the return of flour:
/. All supplies of flour in the
h; nds of consumers, in excess Of the
requirement for 30 days, must be re-
turned: The limitation being "a
pounds for city trade and 4S pounds
for country trade.
9. In exceptional cases (for in
stance, where the family lives long
distance from the railroad, or where
there is a necessity for extra feeding
of farm labor) permission may be
granted to hold an extra supply. But
before this permission will be
granted, the matter must be present
ed, with full details to the State Food
Administrator, who will authorize the
additional allowance. The limitation
has been made on the basis OF D
popnds of wheat products allowed
each person per month, yet in urgent
cases permission will be granted to
hold more than this allotment.
3. Flour should be returned to the
mill or dealer from whom it was OBJ
tained, when practicable.
4. In the event any dealer is un-
able to accept flour returned, or re-
