Must Obey Law

County Food Administrator Davis
mas been advised by the state food
administrator that the law recurring
merchants to sell equal weights of
substitutes with flour must be obeyed.
Ihe law went into effect Monday and
the nenalty for it's violation is four
yeas Imprisonment or a fine of $1O.-
600. No exceptions, so the food ad-
min1strator advises, must be allowed
on contracts for flour made previous
TO Honday the law went into effect.
The merchants filling these contracts
must sell substitutes pound for pound
with the flour. Administrator Davis
wired state food administrator and
asked If farmers who raise their own
cereals are required to follow this
rule. The reply was: mo excep-
uons, all must follow rule to buy
pound for pound" This means that
the farmer must buy a pound of meal
or Erits with every pound of flour.
Commissaries come under the same
rule and farmers furnishing their
hands must sell pound of cereal in
the form of grits or meal with every
pound Of flour.

Mrs. Edmond Richard.

The subject of this sketch, Anne
Alexander, was born in Masconche,
P. O., June 9th, 1858, and died at her
home in Newport June2, 1918, and
was therefore IS years of age lack
ing one week.
On March 6, 1878, she was united
in marriage to Edmond Richard and
they began their happy life together
in Hamilton, Ont, and later moved
to Georgeville, P. O., and moved again
in January, 1877, to Newport to the
farm where they have since resided.
Two children Miss Dorothy and
Emanuel, gladdened this home and
with the husband survive her. She
is also survived by sister living in
Ottawa.
The daughter, Dorothy, has served
as a missionary in Conception, Chill,
returning from there a few years
ago because of the poor health Of her
mother, and who for the past three
years has been an invalid, and during
this time has given to her mother
the most devoted care and attention
and has sacrificed everything through
love.
The son is an honored citizen, a
farmer and rural mail carrier, and
has given much of loving attention to
her who bore him.
The sterling Christian qualities of
these two we attribute to the relig-
ious atmosphere and training in the
home which by both the parents, put
Christ and the church always at the
front.
Mrs. Richard united with the
church at the age of eleven and has
been an earnest Christian ever since.
She was a member of the, Methodist
church in Newport, where she was a
regular attendant while health per-
mitted. The funeral was held on
Tuesday, June 18th, at the Methodist
church, Rev. Coontz officiating, as
sisted by Rev. Joseph Hamilton, a
former pastor and by Revs. Rankin
and Edwards. A. B. Reed presided
at the organ. At the home poem,
''The Home Maker" was read by
Mrs. Moore, and prayer offered The
bearers were young men spoken of by
Mrs. Richard as "My Boys" A. M.
Wright, E. A. Hamilton, A. c.. Clark
and P. w. Lawson. The floral offer
ings were many and beautiful.
