"For the Freedom Of the World,
which the Grand announces as its
Tuesday offering, is declared to be
the most startling production based
on the war which has yet been made.
Written by Captain Edwin Bower
Hesser, and telling the thrilling story
of the famous American Legion OF
the Canadian army, it is creation to
stir the soul of every true American.
Before the United States entered
the war, many thousands of young
ssYankees"-as they still are called
across the Canadian line-joined the
Canadian army. Recognizing that
they were the flower of American
manhood, Lieut. General Sir Sam
Hughes, the commander in chief, or.
dered the formation of the American
Legion, which was quickly filled by
patriots so eager to enter the big
: fight for liberty that they could not
wait for their own country to get in.
to the war.
A romance most unusual in plot
eart-touching and soul-inspiring, is
the basis of a story which takes the
hero from life of inconsequence IN
an American city to play part OF
heroism on the battlefield, win the
love of a girl whose wonderful self.
sacrifice will touch every heart, ano
X almost taste of death for the honor
of the little American flag which he
carries sewn over his heart.
''For the Freedom of the World is
an. epoch of the war. It will tell tt
millions in America what our boys
will have to go through. It will show
them the gloriousness Of fighting fol
4 apreat cause, and the beauty even q
death when death has as its purpose
the preservation of the freedom o1
humanity and the saiietity of woman

wheat flour with one pound of
substitutes.
We appreciate some counties
will have difficulty in finding sub
stitutes. This simply means that
wheat or wheat products must be
sold only to the extent that there
are available substitutes of equal
weight on hand. If the dealer has
no substitutes, his stock must lie
idle until he can procure the same.
The above rules are promulgat-
ed and will be enforced because of
the absolute necessity of further
conservation of wheat and wheat
products turnout the country.
This is war order and must be
obeyed. Dealers failing to obey
these rules to the letter will be
refused the right to purchase any
licensed food commodities from
licensed wholesalers, jobbers or
manufacturers, and will submit
themselves to other penalties pro-
vided by law.
Let us remember that our asso-
ciates in the great world war de-
pend upon America for food as
they have never had before. Today
they are our companions in a great
war for democracy and liberty.
They are doing the fighting, the
suffering and dying in our war,
and will be carrying this burden
for months to come.
Let us remember that wheat for
our allies requirements can be
made available only thru radical
reduction Of our consumption
far beyond anything so far accom-
plished. This applies also to the
conservation of substitute bread
stuffs as well as wheat. More
potatoes must be used by all to
accomplish the conservation of
wheat and other breadstuffs. Con-
sidering our relatively favorable
food situation compared with the
allied peoples, this is not a seri-
Gus sacrifice for our citizens to
make. 1t is, however, most ur-
gent war duty. This necessity
further emphasizes the need of
utmost production of bread grains
and all other food products during
the year 1918.
Millers and exclusively whole
salers may sell flour without sub
stitutes elf they have none) but
only on certificates and satisfac-
tory proof that customer has
bought same amount of substitutes
elsewhere.
