Most everyone has read of the great
medicinal iron deposit unearthed on
the Horn farm down near Hickory,
Mississippi, and today the highly con-
centrated product is put up under the
AIM trade mark Of the Ferordine
Chemical Corp, which has stood for
quality and strength In medicines for
over thirty years.

FLOUR EXEMPTIONS

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb Issuance of
special permits to farmers to purchase
wheat -four without purchasing also
an equal quantity of other cereals is

through D. F. McClatchey, his execu-

When the rule requiring purchasers

These special permits were put on

The Washington correspondent of
an Atlanta newspaper sent dispatch.
which was published, saying that the
regulations provided for such special
permits, and undertaking to instruct
county food administrators in their

Immediately following the publica'

called the office of Herbert Hoover in
Washington by long distance telephone
and went over the whole matter in a
half hours conversation. 1t was made
perfectly plain to him that special per-

The Georgia county administrators had
acted through a misunderstanding Of

ALLOW SOLDIERS TO
PARADE IN PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, D. c., February g.
Troops of the regular, National Guard
and National Army divisions will be
made available for parades or reviews
in towns or cities near their training
centeFs to the fullest POSSIBLE extent
hereafter under an order issued by
Secretary Baker. Division and other
commanders are directed to grant
requests of this character from mu-
nicipal officials wherever military me-
cessity will permit, but they are eau
toned not to add unnecessary bur
dens to the railway facilities by taxi
ing troops On railway journeys.

Reports which come to the depart
ment from the regular army, National
Guard and National Army camps show
the remarkable improvement which

ing and spirit of the men called to

"The country has deep interest
in its soldiers and IS entitled to see
them IN their military organizations

the opportunity for reviews and pa
rades in regiments and larger units
in cities near their several camps,
The commanders should be cautioned
not to add an unnecessary burden

She buried her face on the bosom of

her face on the kindly bosom and wept
as She had not wept before in all her

as father and mother to her.
Once her savage fears were allayed

trustfulness and love. Now she was

not give up that thought. Korak, her
korak, was always first.

upon the trail Of the great balloons.
He did not find them where he had

usual haunts. but he sought them along
the well-marked spoor they had left
behind them, and at last he overlook
them.
He persuaded them TO aid him In
rescuing Meriem and attacking the vii

he had saved their king. And so they
came. upon the second day, to the vii.
lage Of kovudoo. 1t was midafter-

quiet of the great equatorial sun heat.
The mighty herd Travelled quietly now.
Beneath the thousands of padded feet
the forest gave forth no greater sound
than might have been produced by the
increased soughing of stronger breeze
through the leafy branches of the
trees.
korak was in the lead. Close beside
the village they halted until the strag-
glers had closed up. Now utter silence
reigned.
The king Of the balloons was anxious
to revenge himself upon Kovudoo, and
80 the band was quickly organized.
korak. creeping stealthily, entered
the tree that overhung the palisade.
He glanced behind him. The pack
was close upon his heels. The time
had come. He lad warned them con-

that was wont to charge a stranger
upon the slightest provocation or upon
no prOvocatiOn whatsoever.
And to korak this mountain Of de-

ate as lapdog.
He came when Korak called. He
wound his trunk about the ape mans
body and lifted him to his broad neck
in response to gesture, and there
would korak lie at full length, kick
ing his toes affectiOnately into the
thick hide and brushing the flies from

CONSERVATION MUST
CONTINUE IN SPITE
OF COMING HARVEST
Hoover Points Out Necessity
Though Harvest Has AL
ready Begun

Washington, June 15.-With the reap
ing of the first wheat in Texas, okla
homa and Kansas, Food Administrator
Hoover announced today that America
must continue to skimp until the allies
empty granaries are filIed.
Several million bushels already have
been harvested and started toward the
mills. Although 350,000,000 bushels in
excess Of last years crop will be cut
conservation must 90 on, Hoover said.
Harvesting began in California in
May. Reapers are moving vast acres
throughout Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas
and southern Missouri. Nebraska and
Iowa come next.
Important changes in marketing re-
strictions are expected in view Of the
billion bnshel crop. Grain has been al
located to mills by the federal grain
corporation to prevent any miller pill
ing up reserve stocks when the coun-
try was short.
Grain spectators are now bringing
strong pressure on Hoover TO drop the
bars on speculation. Hoover has refus-
ed appeals to throw open the Chicago
wheat pit TO speculation.
Millers, however, may be permitted
to buy wheat freely with the one limi-
tation that they hold flour prices to a
stated maximum. Farmers are granted
