To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
/. Householders to use not to exceed
a total of " pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than 1% pounds of
Z Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking -four, macaroni.
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
q Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
-four No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products fol
each ninety meals served, thus con
forming with the LIMITATIONS requested
of the householders.
8. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of barre
to any country customer at any ons
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equa
weight of other cereals,
A. We ask the bakers and grocers Il
reduce the volume of Victory breat

before. and corresponding proportions
in other weights. We also ask baker

cent OF the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March l.
o. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6 There Is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours. and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat potato flour, ct
cetera.
Many Thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so In perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There Is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use Of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and we specially
ask the weil-to-do households In the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
TO adapt themselves to 50 large q pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able 10
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded Of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of ths
allies and our own army. we propose
to supplement the voluntary eocperar
ton of the public by further limita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time b
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributin9

CIRCUIT COURT MAY TERM 1918.

The May term 1918 of the circuit

vened at the court house in Leakes
vile Monday the 18th. and is still
running with Judge r. w. Heidei
berg on the bench and District At.
torney NJ. " B. Miller. There is q
new stenographer whose name we
have not yet caught. Monday was
devoted to organizing the court. AT
ter the iuries has been empaneIled
and usual noon recess taken it was
found that there were not cases
which could be tried that afternoon
and the court let the petit juries
loose for the evening and the candi-
dates present who had already been
speaking at the noon intermission
were in that way given an opportu-
atty to resume without strictly
speaking doing it on court time.
Tuesday the matter of arralgning
the Meltons, who had been indicted
by the grand jury for murder, came
up. A defective indictment was
discovered against Melton himself
and another one returned later, when
be and his daughter were both ar
raigned and entered pleas of not gull
ty. A motion was. entered by their
counsel for change >i in venue and
special witnesses summoned from
various parts of the county, who will
be heard Saturday morning, with
reference as to whether its believed
by our citizenship that these defen-
danis for that grave charge can Sc
cure a fair trial in old Greene Coun-
.ty.
Another matter disposed of Tues
day was the drawing of special
venire of 100 men as jurors in the
AitA AIiilCt CdOC, anu buCob
were summoned for today, Thursday,
and the slow work of picking a jury
in that case is going forward The
trial proper OF the Melton case, as
well as. the Brown-Churchwell school
fraud money cases. the l.. K. James
and Florence Anderson case, the
Riley Mills case and six civil cases
yet undisposed OF will come off next
week; The second week of the
t g r M; h re 9 civil cas- e S
have been settled without trial.
There has been one jury-triai so far,
that of the Emory Platt disturbing
family of ]. w. Mills case, which
consumed pretty well all day Wed
nesday and resulted in verdict Of
mot guilty" The Grand Jury were
expecting to report about noon
Thursday as we go to press.
