1t was great reception for our
popular Chancellor and a great
speech which enthused, pleased
and satisfied his friends. He
spoke to 1000 people and it
seemed from the demonstration
given him and the way the peo-
pie expressed themselves that
Rutherford county is almost as
solid for Roberts as Smith coun-
ty. There were people attend
ing the speaking from ten coun-
ties, and they all report the sit
uation fine for Roberts. Judge
Roberts speech should be read
by every voter. 1t is a great
speech. truly characteristic of
the man, and deals in a plain,
straightforward way with every
public issue. He does not dodge
or trim but speaks forth clearly
his attitude on every question.
He opposes any increase in the
tax rate. On the contrary he
points out and favors many re-
forms that will remedy the
financial ills of the state. He
favors rigid economy and re-
auctions in the expenses of the
State. He favors good schools,
especially the country schools.
He stands unqualifiedly for the
temperance laws and favors a
rigid yet merciful enforcement
of all laws. He is thoroughly
patriotic and says that nothing
should stand in the way of win
ming the war. In. fact, Judge

WHEAT

Under regulations announced
agreements between mills and
the milling division of the U. S.
food administration to ratain a
fixed price on wheat have been
cancelled. Hereafter all mills,
both large and small, may pay
whatever price they desire for
wheat, but they must sell flour
and mixed feed at price fixed
by the administration. The
government makes good its guar
antee of wheat prices on the ba-
No. 1 Northern wheat delivered
as follows:
New York 81 391z; Philadelphia $3.50
Newport News $2.38 ga; Chicago g.. 26

No. 2 wheat will be worth three

prices, less the cost of transpor-
tation, inspection and delivery

The United States Grain Cor
poration stands ready to take all

terms and bases.

mills will have to buy at other
places and pay the freight, SO l
feel than the freights should
balance and that the farmer
should receive about the same
price here as he would at other
places and save his paying the
freight, and it seems to me that
he ought to receive about 1926
for his best wheat and if l had
wheat I would be slow to sell, at
the present, for less.
Flour Regulations.
As was printed in last weeks

the wheat could have ground or
exchanged at II pounds per

Smith County wheat raisers to
sign an agreement to use as

Der of pounds when thev get

once per day instead of four
times per week. l have been
asked about beef clubs. and will
say that they can run provided
they have about Is members if
they kill 500 or 900 pounds beef
each week, this would make
something like enough for each
family one meal per week. We
have some clubs of 8, some II
and some Is, a club under IL
would make too much to each.

better to make it 10.

The above wheat and flour
regulations are somewhat in
definite as to the price here. 1t
is not any further from Savannah
here that it is from here to
Savannah, or any other place and
if the farmer does not sell his
wheat to the mills here, the

the addition to the bulk mill
price of the regularly used local
freight rate from the mill to
destination, will give the rela-
tive maximum reasonable bulk
selling price at destination.
To illustrate and arrive at the
selling price of flour at a Ten
nessee point, it will be assumed
that the lowest freight rate is
from that point to Savannah,
and that the new rate is 25 cents
per hundred pounds.
Price of -four delivered in
bulk at Savannah $l0.S5
Less freight from local
mill to Savannah 40
Net selling price in
bulk at mill $10.36
Add cost of two 98-pound
sacks e to bbl) about so
To this may be added package
differentials established by rules of
U. S. Food Administration, where
smaller packages are used.
Total cost of flour at
local mill sacked $1O.95
II sold to retailer, may
add profit of 10
Total selling price to retailer, $11.7O
Since the maximum profit that
may be charged by retailer is 81. 20
per barrel, this would the cost of
flour to consumer on above basis
not TO exceed $3.50.
To get the price of the flour
shipped by the mill illustrated
above to another point in the
state, the freight rate from
point of shipment to destination
must be added.
1t will be noted that drastic
reductions have been made in
the selling price of mill feed.
!, The cost of mill feed may be
obtained as illustrated above.
In the case there mentioned,
assuming a freight rate from the
mill to Savannah of 25 cents per
hundred, or So per ton, the
price in bulk of the feed at mill
would be $21 90. To this may
be added the price of the sacks
and stamps and the profits al
lowed mill feed dealers under
our regulations, as follows:
Where mills sell to retailer
in lots of less than ton 81 so
Where mills sell to retailer
in lots ton and over, add $1.00
Where mills sell direct to
consumer, add to cost, IN
lots of ton or over $500
In lots of less than ton $500
If delivered, $1.OO per ton may be
added to prices above.
This would make the bran or
mill feed cost the consumer,
buying from the mill on above
illustration, as much as one ton,
at.store door $25. SO plus cost OF
sacks and stamps. If less than
ton $26.96, If delivered cost
added.
You should give wide publicity
to the above, and should watch
the prices at which mills are
selling flour and feed and report
all charges in excess of those
allowed to this office.
Faithfully yours,
II. A. MORGAN.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what yop use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very Injurious, as I
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
null fled cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family. for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and, rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft. fresh looking,
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dam

TYPHOID HEADS LIST
City Health Department Reports
Thirteen Cases in Month.

According to the report of the city
health department typhoid fever leads
the list of contagious diseases for the
month of July. The total number re-
ported for the month was thirteen.
There were also sixteen cases of
whooping cough and six of measles.
Most of these cases occurred among
the white residents of the city.
The largest number of contagious
diseases were reported from the Sixth
ward. The Second ward has the largest
number of typhoid cases. It has been
the contention of DR.. H. L. Clark, city
health officer. that this is the most
dangerous season of the year for
typhoid and he has been entirely con-
sistent in r.'ging strongly that the peo-
pie of the city take advantage of the
free typhoid NEGOTIATIONS which are
expensive to Suy otherwise. The use
of the pa,ra-typhoid fluctuations in
army camps has almost stamped ont
the disease in these places.
