MORE GRAHAM AND
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR
Vermont Dealers Are Given Permission
to Dispose Of the Stocks
Now on Hand

" MONTPELIER, Aug. In order
that there may be no loss through spoil
ing Of the graham and whole wheat
-four now held in the hands of dealers
IN Vermont, State Food Administrator
Frank II Brooks today sent out in
structions granting an exemption to
wholesale and retail dealers so far as
the stocks of these commodities they
now lave on hand are concerned. Up
to this time it has been necessary for
merchants to sell graham and whole
flour on a basis of three pounds of sub
Stltutes with every five pounds of the
fionr. Now, when the merchants con-
form with certain requirements. they
mav sell these two hours without sub
stitutes until such time as the present
stock is used up. This exemption does
net and viii not apply to either of
these grades of flour which are brought
INTO the state in the future.
There is absolutely no change in the
regulation regarding the sale of stand
ard war flour, and an equal amount of
the legal substitutes must still be
sold VITA each purchase of war flour.
Graham and whole wheat fours
sometimes spoil in hot weather, and
the present temporary exemption COW
ering only the stocks now on hand is
SIMPLY conservation measure Refer
ring to these grades of flour, Mr. Brooks
today said:
:" / hope that the exemption will
mean a reduction in the demand for
war tionr, as consumption of this must
he kept at the minimum for a TIME
yet, aud ! hope that consumers will
consider i patriotic duty to purchase
graham and whole wheat flour until
the present stock is used up, and that
the merchants will make every effort
to dispose of their present stocks he
fore they spoil''

AS by this time you must know

port Of landing to here was about 10
hours run, and as it is daylight here
until 10 o clock we had a great view of
the country Soon we found some re-

found that they could 60 and were not

children ii was arranged that he STAY on
the farm and carry it on and have the
personal property. He says that no sug-
gcstion ever was made that he keep sepa-
rate accounts; also that the timber which
he sold was not equal in value to the
doctors bills and other expenses which
he paid for the care and support of his
mother, who for long period had been
afflicted with cancer
He states that it had been known and
understood that the real estate belonged
to the children. but that there had been
an understanding that he was to carry
on the place and pay the expenses, the
other children having home there as
much as they saw fit and that no charges
were to be made against him for the use
Of the premises He says that all the
benefit he ever derived from the place
would no moro than compensate him for
the care OF his mother and what he has
done for the other children.
Horatio Knapp denies that any threats
Of force were made against the other
children, and he asserts that since trou-
Bile arose he has offered more for the
property than it is worth in order to
avoid a controversy.
Ora Knapp. the other defendant. i'm his
answer states that he accepts the answer
of Horatio as his. except that he had
nothing to do with the management of
the property and did not own the stock.
but assisted Horatio in the farm work
fer his board and small compensation
He says it was not his part TO do hard
manual labor, but rather to assist in sup
porting the home.
