THREE IMPORTANT RULINGS.

The following important rulings have been received by Hamp Williams, Federal food administrator for Ark ansas, from Herbert c. Hoover, and are transmitted to the county food administrator for publication. All concerned will hereafter be governed by these rulings.
 E. l.. Boyce, Food Administrator for Jackson
 County.
 Retail dealers must buy substitutes with every lot of wheat flour. They must buy substitutes at same time as flour from seller of flour or present written statement showing purchases elsewhere of requisite substitutes not balanced by other purchases of wheat flour. If wholesaler has sold both flour and substitute, and has ot nsub stitute on hand, let him refrain from hipping the flour until he receives substitutes. By so doing we will keep down wheat flour sales, which is what we want to do.

R. L. MARTIN PASSES AWAY

The community was deeply griev-
ed this morning to learn of the
death of Robert L. Martin, which oc-
CURED at his home in Denver last
night at o'clock. He died at the
age of 76 years, death ending an i'll
ness of three or four years. A short
time ago he suffered a paralytic
stroke which hastened his demise
Mr.. Martin was one Of the pioneer
mine operators of Colorado, having
come to the silver camp at George
town in the early seventies where
he engaged tersively in mining.
He was one of the partners in the
famous Sandels lease on the Dives
mine that in 1875 produced $4,000. 90
in silver every "a hours. At a lat
er date he came to Gilpin county
where he has ever since mined ex-
tensively. He undoubtedly brought
more eastern caIital into the county
than any other one man and fur
nished employment to large num-
ber Of miners. He was of a kind
and jovial disposition, and his
friends were legion.
He leaves to mourn his demise a
widow, three daughters and one son.
Mrs. Mabel Varnell, of Chicago, Mrs.
Lou O'Donnell, of Denver, Mrs. R. R..

stLvER's FUTURE

TIE bill recently passed by con-
gress authorizing the melting of q
$4,000, 900 silver dollars for the pur-
pose of supplying silver for trade
balance. and Ilacing it at not less
than $1.00 an ounce, will stimulate
the mining of the white metal.
Silver was demonetized by this
government in 1898, by influence of
speculators on Wall street, who
sought to corner the money market,
as England and other nations had
previously done. But the present
war rendered 1t imperative that the
metal again become a money med
ium in settlement Of trade balances.
For many years only India and
Chira used silver as money, but
now nearly every nation is eager to
obtain it, and as result the metal
will command a good price for many
years to come. Now Is the appoint
ed time to secure silver mines, and
as gold, lead and copper are gener-
ally associated with silver, and each
of these metals are now much sought
for commercial purposes, surely now
is the tine to prospect silver terri.

G|LP|N COUNTY GOES OVER THE Top
FAR EXCEEDS QUOTA IN LiBER-
TY LOAN DRIVE AND sUsscRlP.
TIoNs STILL COMING IN-WfLL
REACH $45 100000.

GilIin county has gone lover the
top" in the Liberty loan drive and
will exceed its quota ($39,60O) by
$1,000. Tie Quota was reached the
fore part of the week, but subscrip-
tions are still coming in and will
continue to come until Saturday,
when the drive closes.
1t was not difficult task to raise
the amount asked by the government
in Gilrin county, the call meeting
with a patriotic and ready response.
A large PORTION of the money was
subscribed voluntarily thru the bank
which greatly reduced the work of
the solicitors.
The wcmen's committee rendered
srlerdid assistance to the men and
added further emphasis to the con-
lily won if the womanpower of the
country holds out. Everybody feels
happy over the success of the loan
and can hardly wait until the goth
of May, when the Red Cross drive
starts. GilIin county's quota in this
drive will only be $4,000.
Here is the list of subscribers to
the Liberty loan up to today, with a
lerge number to be added when the
subscriptions are finally turned in to
the hank. These will be added to
the honor roll next week, when all
the names should be in:

Scarfs.

Already there are indications that
scarfs will be an accredited part of
next winters suits-that Is, wide
scarfs that are wrapped around the
neck as part of the suit. We had
some of these scarfs last winter,
sometimes coming from only one part
of the coat collar and wrapping well
around the throat. Sometimes, too,
they were the ends of skating cap
that were wrapped, scarfiike, around
the throat. In the new suits they are
sometimes separate, but of the same
material. and sold as part of the
frock. Sometimes they are fastened
to the coat, under the collar.

In the light Of experience the tail
ored suit of wool cloth has proven that
there is nothing to equal it for giving
general satisfaction. Some other fab
RIGS make suits as durable and as
good looking but they do not seem to
fit in everywhere and against any sort
OF background as wool does. How
ever, there may come a time when
there will be no wool to spare, after
the needs of the army are supplied,
anG we will be obliged to wear some
thing else. Manufacturers are already
experimenting with other fiberS and
have turned out a few new fabrics that
look practical.
The most noteworthy of these mate
rails is tricotine or tricolet, woven of a
heavy, silky fiber that is strong and sup
pie. 1t has the brilliance of silk and the
strength of wool and is especially
handsome in black and in dark tones
Of brown and blue. 1t is used for
gowns and suits. For the first, hand
some fringes are wonderfully effective
es a trimming, while bralding seems
the best finish for suits.
The suit at the right in the picture
is conservation tailleur" of trico-
tine with collar and tunic waistcoat
OF crepe. 1t earns its patriotic title
because it is not wool and compels en-
tliusiastic praise because it is hand
scme and cleverly designed. The col
lar and waistcoat are braided and
might be embroidered, for both these
decorations find themselves against
Just the right background In tricotine.
The coat fastens across the waistcoat
at the front with two diagonal straps
that button at the left SIDE
There are still plenty of wool suits
to be had-just how long the supply
will last no one can tell. One of the
best of those shown for fall appears
at the left CT the picture. 1t is taupe
