FOOD v|OLATORs
IN THIS COUNTY
To Be PUNISHED
COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
GIVES OUT STATEMENT SAYING
ALL FUTURE VIOLATORS WILL
BE SEVERELY HANDLED.

County Food Administrator Franc
Mangum today gave out the following
statement:
Reports of deliberate violations OF
various regulations concerning the
handling and selling of food products
have been made to me by my depu-
ties and by other persons, and sew
eral such reports have been investi-
gated and confirmed.
Information on hand is to the ef-
feet that at least two country stores
have violated the law against selling
-four without permits or without re-
quiring an equal purchase of other
cereals.
1T is also reported, and proved, that
q number of persons have sought to
persuade grocers to violate this rule,
and have declared that they could
bly, flour surreptitiously, without COM
plying with the rule.
ANY person who will do that is a
criminal. Not only that, but he is tan
tamount to traitor to his country,
which has established the rule by
which he should live because it waE
deemed necessary for the successful
prosecution of a war on which our lib
critics and even our very lives de-
pend.
In my capacity as food administra-
tor for the county. I have made many
personal notwithstanding altogether
without compensation and at consid-
cradle personal expense-and the on
ly possible satisfaction can get out of
the Office is the knowledge of having
done my duty. I am going to perform
that duty as the law says it should be
done, and give unqualified notice that
henceforth all violations, whether
small or large, will be punished with.
out fear or favor. There will be no
more reprimands, and no more pleas
that the violations were committed in
ignorance, without intent to violate
II e, will be accepted
Il feel that the dealers and the cit
liens who are striving so hard to live
squarely up to the law should be pro-
tected, and that persons who are guilty
Of boarding, or dealers. big or little.
who are guilty of unfair practuces.
should be severely handled, as an ex-
ample to the community, and as a mat
ter of simple Justice Any man who
does not unhesitatingly submit to ev-
cry requirement of his government in
this great crisis is distinctly disloyal,
and he should be exposed as such"

to the train.
Transportation will likely be lack
ing to haul food, and this alone nee
essitates the production of at least
al food supplies needed on the farm,
and in the immediate community.
Grow the products that will insure
food for the family and feed for the
1--we stock. These are: A vegetable
garden, mich COW, brood SOW, poultry
flock. ample corn, potatoes, peanuts
cane and then as much cotton or tor
lbacco as can we'll be cultivated.
Here is given a striking illustration
by Clarence Ousley, assistant secreta-
ry of agriculture: For any man now
to determine his business operations
from the standpoint of profit alone
without regard to the nations needs, is
for him wilfully to profiteer in the
blood of his fellows who are fighting
in France for the preservation of the
republic. No man can be excused for
not taking his share of the RESPONSE
bility" G. 0. MARSHALL.

try Club being revived.
Six gentlemen have already agreed
to take $1,000 each in bonds of the

private residence, but is for sale, and
can be purchased at a reasonable fig
ure.
If the project goes through, the club
will be operated in connection with
fair grounds and spring baseball train

TELLS CHASTITY TALE

Great Suffering Among Population OF
Jerusalem After Germans
Took Control.

Denver, Colo.-Stories of the fright
full experiences suffered by residents
Of Jerusalem previous to the capture
of the Holy City by British forces I'M
der General Allenby were told here
by Miss Celia Noinestea, who, with
her mother, fed from the torture In
1iicted by Turkish soldiers and Ger
man officers there several months ago.
Miss Moinestea and her mother
were among 300 refugees who escaped
from Jerusalem while thousands were
starving within the gates of the an
cient city.
"There was agonizfng suffering
among the civil population of Jeru-
salem after the Germans took control
Of that city," said the youthful refu-
gee. Hundreds died of starvation
when food, imported for the inhabit-
ants OF the stricken city, was seized
by military authorities and diverted
to the soldiers. Our friends fell dead
about us like fieas. Scores Of young
girls sold their souls to the German
soldiers in return for food"
It took five months for Miss MOines-
tea and her mother to reach Denver
after leaving Jerusalem.
1--WE witnessed the most heart-rend-
ing scenes while travelling through
AUSTRIA" the girl declared, where
roads were filled with cripples and
food was so scarce that the peasants
refused to sell even small portions at
fabulous prices offered by the tray-
elers."

Getting Rid Of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This preparation has been in use for
many years and it's value fully proven. No
matter what remedy you use, however, care
must be taken not to contract second cold be-
fore you have recovered from the first one, and
there is sc rious danger of this. A man of mid
die age or older should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. 1t is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than three weeks
later on.
