Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
Abusing Sugar purchasing

Abusing Sugar purchasing
Privileges,
The government must rely up
on the patriotic honor of the peo-
pie or spend millions of dollars
in the expense of issuing ration
tickets for sugar.
Some cases have been mentioned
where buyers bought their quota
at one store, then go to another
and buy there and so on secur-
ing more than their fair share.
The government looks upon
such as form Of treason and it
is especially in violation of
the law and penalaies are Sc
we're.
1t seems that an example must
be made of somebody and if
dealers or others know of this
being done they should report
the facts to the Food Adminstra-
tion that prosecution may be in
stituted. No mercy should be
shown such slackers.
Notice to Public Eating Places
The sugar bowl must not be
put on the table. If a guest
wants sugar he must call for it,
not allow the guest to help him
self and two spoonful is all the
guest is permitted to have at any
one meal. The sugar shortage
is very serious at this time,
Sugar for Canning and Preserv-
ing.
This rule is also changed. Pur-
chasers may obtain less than 25
pounds for canning or preserving
upon the certificate plan but
when the purchaser obtains his
first supply a second supply can
be obtained only on permition of
the County Food Administrator.
There is no prospect of a sug-
ar famine. There is merely a
shortage that will no doubt be
removed within a few months.
Try white corn syrup as sugar
substitute in pies and on break
fast food,
State Fair August 10-17
This county will make a county
exhibit. How good it may
be will depend on how much as
sistance we get in collecting an
exhibit. We yet need grain of
all kinds as well as vegetables and
fruit fresh, canned and dried.
If you have something good
or know who las let US know.
The stuff can be delivered to me
at Keytesville or to Z, w. Stieman
at Dalton or to T. H. Carskadon
at Dalton or to 7. E. Leach or C.
W. Gebhart at Salisbury. or to
w. H. Mayo of Mendon, or H. P
Hampton at Triplett, or Fred
Miller of Sumner, E. Smith of
Marceliue or Lon Richardson of
Rothville or D. W. Veal of Mike
or w. W. Daily of Brunswick.
The stuff can then be assembl-
ed for shipment. Shipment must
be made not latter than August
3rd. so get the stuff delivered
a day or two ahead of that time.
Wheat Sense
Plow early and deep.
Make good seed bed.
Fertilize thin land.
Fan seed to remove shrivell-
ed grain and dirt.

Look out for the date of our
smut campaign. If you are not
sure you know how to treat your
sead attend a demonstration.
Thousands of dollars have been
lost from smut this season. That
loss might have been prevented.

Sumner was treated to a spe-
tacle Tuesday morning that was
new to US but not uncommon in
the cities and on some farms
where women have taken up the
work of men gone to war. Six
young ladies with a camping
party down on the river were in
town that morning wearing
unionalls, knee length too. Sew
eral of the female portion of our
citizenry were horrifisd of course
but Postmaster Hardesty who is
a pretty level headed old bachelor
voiced the sentiment of most of
the spectators when he said they
look real cute

knows and appreciates. In selecting
cigars for our cigar department we
are extremely careful as to the
brands, blending and quality of

enabled us to build up a large bus

comes weary of any particular COM
bination of tobaccos they are always
assured of finding another special
combination to take its place.

An armchair war expert" over here in
the United States makes the positive as
sertion that the allies are planning to
make strong offensive on the western
front. The newspaper readers who put
their trust in mere speculation are being
imposed upon. When the allies get ready
to begin an offensive in western Europe
they will not make the announcement
through some armchair expert over
here in the United States; in fact, they
will make no announcement whatever.
Nevertheless, should il turn out that the
allies will start an offensive soon, the

ARE YOU newcomer in this town
By this question we mean Have you
been resident of these environs for 30
years or fewer? If you are, undoubtedly
you have sensed, if you have failed to
voice, the benign turbulence which marks
the attitude of those whose families have
long been a part of the towns history.
By no means attaining to the high pitch
of outward resentment on all occasions,
it is sort of ungracious churlishness
which, however accurately it may be
sensed, cannot be expressed articulately.
1t is not charitable, yet it is not irritat
ing, for this manifestation of polite
spleen is part and parcel OF human
nature, as old as civilization. Not all of
us can be new corners, and by the same
sign only a few of us, in the nature of
things, can be descendants of the set

themselves to the role of the new com
