MAY EXCHANGE WHEAT FOR
FLOUR, IL POUNDS TO PERSON

DR.. H. A. Morgan has sent out to
county chairmen the following tele-
gram from Mr.. Hoover in regard to
flour from the 1918 wheat crop:
"The following telegram is this day
received from Herbert Hoover, United
States Food Administrator, Washing
ton: AS to the farmers wheat next
year we wish to support the whole
idea of farmers raising their own
supply of flour. Until the national
wheat supply is definitely determined
and the allied necessities are likewise
arrived at, we cannot lay down a ma
tional program. AS a temporary ba-
sis we believe the following is the
best coordination of all views in
southern states. Farmers may draw
supply of flour from the milling or
exchange of their own wheat for
the three months to October /. They
should not draw this from mills in
excess of twelve pounds of flour per
person per month for use by their
household and tenants, and they
should continue in respect to substi-
tute on the present basis until we
change general substitutes program
for the entire country.
This simply means that farmers,
in exchange for 1918 wheat grown
on land owned, leased or cultivated
by them, may draw from mills
three months supply of flour to Oc-
tober | at the rate not to exceed
twelve pounds per person per month
for use by their households and ten
ants.
This does not release retailers, far
nners or any other consumers from
the $3.50 substitute regulation, nor
does it affect bakers substitutes reg
ulations.

SEEN IN A CEMETERY

Take walk through the cemetery
alone and you viii pass the resting
place of man who looked into the
muzzle Of gun to see if it was load
ed. A little further down the slope
is crank who tried to show how close
he could stand to a moving train while
it passed. In strolling about you will
see the monument Of the girl who
tried to start the fire with kerosine,
and the grass covered knoll that COW
ers the boy who tickled the mules
tail. That tall shaft over man who
blew out the gas casts a shadow over
the boy who tried to get on moving
train. Side by side the pretty creature
who always had her corset laced in
the last hole, and the intelligent idiot
who rode a bicycle nine miles in ten
minutes, sleep unmolested. In silent
repose is a doctor who took dose of
his own medicine. There, with big
marble monument over his head is a
rich old man who married a young
wife. Away over there reposes a bow
who went fishing on Sunday, and the
woman who kept sthrychnine powders
in the cupboard. The man who stood
in front of the moving machine to.
oil the knives is quiet now and rests
bseide the careless brakeman who fed
himself to the 10 ton engine, and
near may be seen the grave Of the
man who tried to lick the editor.
