MRS. JAMES A. MITCHELL

Mrs. James A. Mitchell, daugh.
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Bussell OF
Algood, died at her home in Tyrone,
Okla, Sunday, June Is, 1918, and
her remains, accompanied by her
husband, arrived in Algood Tuesday
night. The funeral service was con-
Quoted by the Revs. Hill and E. w.
Stone at the Methodist church, and
the remains were inferred in the AL
good cemetery.
Mrs. Mitchell was "a years of age
and leaves a husband and four child
rem to mourn her loss. She was a
sister of Mrs. B. P. Allison of Mon
terey, Mrs. M. X. Bennett of Algood,
Mrs. NJ H. Ellis of Cookeville, A. W.
T A. Russell of Livingston, Asberry
Bussell of Hutchinson, Kans., and R.
M. Bussell of Pittsburg, Kans.
Mrs. Mitchell has many relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. Her
death comes with surprise to all as
she was sick only few days. 1t was
sad to see her taken ava yfrom her
husband and children, but God knows
best; His will be done, not ours.
She became a Christian at the early
age of fifteen and always lived a
Christian life, devoted to her church
and family. She was loved by all
who knew her, always looking on
the bright side of life, making sun
shine for herself and her friends.
Thus still wheneer the good and
just
Close the dim eyes on life and pain,
Heaven watches over their sleeping
dust
Till the pure spirit comes again"

AUSTRIANS DEFEATED

A big drive was undertaken by the
Austrians against the Italians during
last week, which succeeded to the
extent that they crossed the Piave
river along nearly its entire length.
A great food raised the river so that
they could not maintain their army
and in attempting to recross the Ital-
ians inflicted heavy losses, fully 200,-
900 Austrians losing their lives or
being captured.
In France there has been no heavy
fighting for three weeks.
There are now nearly one million
American soldiers in France. They
occupy about forty miles of the from
line trenches. Our losses in Europe
have been about 5000 men killed,
wounded and captured. The losses
will continue to grow as we take a
larger part in the fghtnig.-

FARMERS EXCHANGE MILLING
REGULATIONS 1918 WHEAT CROP

The following telegram is this day
received from Herbert Hoover, U. S.
Food Administrator, Washington:
"As to farmers wheat next yeor
we wish to support the whole idea of
farmers raising their own supply of
flour. Until the national wheat sup
ply is definitely determined and the
allied necessities are likewise arriv-
ed at, We cannot lay down a national
program. AS temporary basis we
believe the following is the best CO.
ordination of all views in Southern
states. Farmers may draw supply of
flour from the milling or exchange of
heir own wheat for the three months
to October 1st. They should not
draw this from mills in excess of -
pounds of flour per person per month
for use by their household and ten
ants, and they should continue in re-
spect to substitute on the present
basis until We change general sub
stitute program for the entire coun-
try"
This simply means
l. Farmers, in exchange for 1918
wheat grown on land owned. leased
or cultivated by them, may draw
from mills three months supply of
-four to October 1st at the rate not
10 exceed II pounds per person per
month for use by their households
and tenants.
2. All persons other than farmers
as defined in paragraph /, are limit
ed to t thirty days supply of -four
either by purchase or by exchange
grinding at the rate OF y pounds per
person per month.
8. This does not release retailers,
farmers or any other consumers
from the $3.50 substitute regulation.
4. This does not effect bakers
substitute regulations.

WHO SHOULD HAVE POULTRY
AND EGG LICENSE?

l. The Presidents proclamation of
May IA, requiring the licensing of
those engaged in certain lines OF
business, including operators of
poultry and egg packing plants not
already licensed by the United States
Food Administration" has been mis-
understood by some of those affected.
II. Under this classification anyone
who sells poultry or eggs in any
other way than at retail to the con-
sumner, regardless of the amount of
business done, must be licensed.
III. There are many country store
keepers whose business is mostly re-
tail selling, but who buy eggs and
sometimes poultry from the farmers.
They have never considered them
selves as operators of poultry and
egg packing plants, but, in reality,
that is what they are. The fact that
they are in the retail business on too
small scale to require a retailers
license does not alter the case. In
order to comply with the law they
must all fill out blanks obtained from
the United States Food Administra-
tion and have licenses issued.

BIRTHDAY REUNION

On last Sunday, June 23d, will be
day long remembered by many
friends and relatives of Uncle Joe
Jaquess. Every one left home with
joyful anticipations OF spending a
pleasant day with Uncle Joe and fam
| lily, but alas, on reaching his home
we found him at the point of death.
He was taken very sick at o'clock
Sunday morning and soon grew un-
conscious. Uncle Joe has been in
failing health for several years and
not able to leave home. He had
looked forward to his birthday, which
came on June 23d, when he could
meet with his children and grand
children, relatives and friends and
have a joyful day, but God willed it
otherwise, so We all bow in humble
submission and payr to meet him in
a land where no sickness or death
comes.
Uncle Joe was a man of sunny dis
position and kind words for every
one he met. His friends were num-
bered by his acquaintances. He was
kind and affectionate to his family,
loyal to his church and country and
true to his God. He wa sa man who
will be greatly missed in the commu-
nifty where he has lived the most of
his life. He was IA years of age.
1875 people were present on his
birthday but went away with sad
hearts. Truly, God moves in mys-
terjous ways his wonders to perform.
Gods will, not ours, be done.
