Notice to Flour Dealers.

Your attention is called to the fol
lowing rules which are now in effect
i'll Ohio:
l. The fifty fifty basis is restored
on all flour sales and must be strict
ly observed by all dealers in flour.
2. Retailers who do not comply
with the provisions of rule one are
forbidden to sell wheat flour except
by special exemption from the rule,
to be granted upon application to
the state food administration.
). Potatoes may be sold by re-
taliers only, on the basis of four
pounds of potatoes to one pound
OF flour. This sale, however, can be
made only when wheat flour substi-
tutes are not obtainable.
4. The same quantity in the sale
as heretofore mentioned is to rule.
Dealers will observe the sales as far
as possible.
Do not confuse the present
substitution rules on wheat flour
with the old combination rule per-
hitting sale of two pounds of corn
meal with one pound of sugar.
6. Dealers must not use -four in
advertisements as a leader. The OBJ
ject is to sell as little -four as pos
sible, and the practice of offering
-four at a slightly reduced price on
certain days must be discontinued.
:. The government has now as
sumed control of all the wheat in
the United States and frequent and
very stringent rules may be expect
ed.
s. All bakeries are required toI
put twenty per cent substitute I'M
their baking from now on and must
not sell any bread otherwise. No
increase in price will be permitted
at the present time.
The Darke County Food Admin
istration is very anxious to see that
Our people observe all these rules to
the letter and any violations will, it
the proper evidence is furnished,
meet with due punishment.

The yearly reception to the
tourists was held last Monday
night, and had a very large at
tendance. There were seventy
five tourists who registered and
many did not attend. Fourteen
states were represented, Ken
lucky leading, with eleven; ten
from Michigan and nine each
from Ohio and Illinois. Light
refreshments were served and
the hall was beautifully decorat-
ed with palms and other ever
greens.
The st. Marks Progressive
Baptist church (colored) gave a
sacred concert. on iast Sunday
night, at which a large number
of white people were present.
Over sixty people, mostly chill

was very interesting. The pri-
mary school teacher. Miss Jessie
Brown, is a musician of unusual
ability.
One of the most enjoyable ev-
ents of our stay here was the
boat trip to Captiva Island, about
thirty miles down the bay, last
Wednesday. One hundred and
fifty people enjoyed the ride,
which was certainly delightful.
1t was one of those perfect days
you read about, and most of us
ate our dinner sitting on the
white sand of the beach, with
the blue green circle of the Gulf
| Of Mexico before US. Afterward
we scattered out along the shore
to look for shells, sponges, sea-
weed. etc. One must go down
some distance away from the
crowd to find good specimens.
We also enjoyed a wade in the
water. The trip home was made
more interesting by a stop al
Useppa Island, owned by Collier
of New York. We gathered oul
arms full of fresh cocoanuts anC
took home quite cargo. The
rest of the trip by moonlight was
very pleasant.
