TIGHTER REGULATIONS
BEING MADE ON FOOD
Criminal Offense to Wilfully Waste
Hoard or Monopolize Necessary
Food

1t has been brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. R. M. Adams, county
food administrator, that the food
rules and regulations as compiled by
the Federal Food Administration for
Minnesota, are not being lived up to
by some people in Stevens county.
Mr.. Adams says: 'I do not believe
people are violating the food rules
with an intent to evade the law but
merely thru ignorance and misunder-
standing. The law should be clear
to all by this time and any offenders
will hereafter be dealt with.
"When wheat is purchased the
same amount of substitutes must also
be purchased, and no one is allowed
to buy more than a thirty-days sup
ply of -four. A thirty days supply
can be determined by counting eight
pounds of -four per month for each
member of the household. Anyone
now having more than thirty day
supply on hand should report the ex-
cess to me and I will advise what dis
pOO1 OAd11 NC 1uduO VI LIE = LIS
applies to farmers the same as town
people. Time will be given until
April 20 to send in reports and after
that date anyone caught with more
than thirty-day supply of flour who
have not reported the matter will be
prosecuted. There is a fine of five
thousand dollars, two years in prison
or both. The person who buys more
than their allowance of flour is just
as liable as the dealer who sells it.
Package breakfast foods, such as
corn flakes, tapioca and other cere-
ais, are not considered wheat sub
stitues. Graham -four and whole
wheat flour can be sold with six
pounds of substitutes to ten of their
own weight. Rye flour may still be
bought alone but may not be includ-
ed as substitute.
"All wheat in farmers bin must
be marketed by May Is, and any on
hand after that date is liable to be
confscated by the government"

ALL CLOCKS MUST BE
RESET SUNDAY MORNING
Made Necessary by Daylight Saw
ing' Law-Put Them One Hour
Ahead

On Sunday morning the daylight
saving" law will become effective,
when all clocks in the United States
turned back again on the last Sun
day in October. This will automati-
cally cause people to get up an hour
earlier in the morning and rfetire an
hour earlier in the evening, thus
utilizing one more hour of daylight
and saving much of artificial light.
1t will also give people one more hour
for gardening and outdoor recreation
in the evening.
The daylight saving plan will be
observed without the slightest dis
organization or impairment of ex-
listing conditions. Trains will run
as usual, and every feature of daily
life into which the element of time
enters will remain unchanged.
Clocks are supposed to be reset at
2 a. m. Sunday morning, but a good
plan is to set the clock an hour ahead
before retiring Saturday night and
then go to sleep and forget entirely
about the daylight saving until the
last Saturday in October. On that
date the process must be reversed by
turning the hands of the clock back
an hour, and the next day the nation
will again run on "sun" time.
All railroads and public business
will perform to the new time rule and
it will be to everybody's interest to
see that the clocks and watches are
set forward one hour Saturday night.
