DID YOU PURCHASE
 TOO MUCH FLOUR?
Read This Recent Order and Remeber it IS to be Strict
 iy Enforced by All

The following ruling pertain ing to the purchase and sale of Victory mixed and standard wheat flour, which was issued by State Food Administrator Hamp Williams should receive the very thoughtful considera- tion of consumers and retail CTS:
 "No retailer shall be permit ted to sell to any consumer more than 12 pounds per cap ita, per month, Victory mixed or standard wheat flour; pro vided, first, country families may purchase a 90 days sup .ply;second, city and town fam flies may purchase a 30 days supply
 The State Fod Administra- tion also announced that all other rules previously announc- ed are still in effect.
 ''The reason for the promul- gation of the foregoing ruling regulating the sale of flour" reads a statement from MT. Williams, lis this: Reports have been coming to our office that farmers have been load ing up on flour, buying as many as three and four barrels That is clearly hoarding. To hoard flour or any other food is a crime. Hoarding is pun

HELD LIABLE FOR
 POISON IN FLOUR
Newport Merchant Held Res ponsible For Selling Flour
 That Contained Arsenic

The Supreme Court Monday affirmed the judgment of the Jackson Circuit Court in the case of $. Heinemann against Pattie Garfield, negress, in which the latter was given a judgment for $5,000 on ac- count of the death of her hus- band, who died from the ef- fleets of poison that was in a sack of flour purchased from Heinemann's store.
 k. H. Garfield, a negro, bought a sack of flour from Heinemann's store at Newport and the flour was used in nak- ing biscuits for his family. Af- ter eating the biscuits, mem- bers cf the negroes family be- came i'll and Garfield died. Some of the flour was sent to a chemist who found that it contained arsenic.
 The negroes widow, Pattie Garfield. brought suit against Heinemann in the Jackson Cir cult Court and was given judg- ment for s5,000.
 Heinemann appealed the case to the Supreme court and the judgment of the lower was affirmed by the supreme court.
 Greedy Garfield, the father of K. H. Garfield and Mary At klnson were also members of the same household and were made sick from eating of the same flour. The Circuit Court held that they were not liable to recover a judgment and dis missed their complaints, but the Supreme Court held that this was error, as the same act of negligence caused the dam age in each of the cases.

THE VALUE OF THE HOME TOWN
Paul Sunshine Dietrick

interested much in the old home dCings.
 The old home place runs down. The renter is not in- terested in the farm, the school the church or the permanent community life for he is not permanent himself. He finds that he can save a few cents on some articles by sending away for them. This trade does not go to the local dealer. 1t is linked with other renters sending away to the same place.
 Some of the bushes houses close up. People move out of town to seek employment else where. Vacant store buildings vacant resident proper appear. The school does not need as many teachers nor as many grades. The preacher has to take on another charge to pay out. The old farm runs down at the heel and so goes the price of land. Many farms are On the market but no one wants to buy when he gets a glimpse of the town and it's surroundings.
 Of every dollar spent in your own home town, a part of 1t goes to help build u,o your institutions. Of every dollar spent out of town, part of it goes to build up the institutions In some other town. Learn to boost for your own home town and build up the institutions that are your greatest assets.

THIS IS THE LAST
 ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL

A few of our subscribers to whom we mailed statements recently have not paid up their subscription, and under the ruling of the War Indus tries Board. this is the last is- sue of The Journal we are per mitted to send them.
 We do not believe there is T single subscriber on our books who would willfully try to cheat us out of anything they owe on subscription. We be- lleve every one of our subscrib- CTS are honest and intend to pay us every cent they owe. If We did not believe they were honest we would have stopped sending them the paper iong ago, because there is no profit and very little pleasure in buy ing high-priced paper and ink and printing papers to send tc someone who does not pay their subscription.
 We must soon make a sworn statement to the govern ment regarding our delinquent subscribers. We don't want to get in bad nor get anybody else in bad if we can avoid it.

ishable by a fine of $5, ,000 and imprisonment in Federal pen itentiary, and l suggest to any who have bought more flour than is permitted under the ruling just made to return the excess to the merchant they get it from Inspectors are working throughout the state, and it would go very hard for anyone to be caught with d great supply of flour that had been bought
 Officials of the United States Foed Administration, Wash .ngtOn, have informed Mr. Will iiams that agents of mills have no right to leave their trade under the impression that all regulations as to flour sales have been removed, and action will be taken against mills found guilty of spreading prop aganda of that nature.
 Officers of the State Food Administration declare the recent ruling a most liberal in- depreciation of a reasonable amount specified in the Food Control Act passed by Con- gress. Attention is also called to the use of substitutes with all standard wheat flour. The SC substitutes, cornmeal, corn flour and barley fC UT, must be sold with standard wheat four at the rate of one pound of substitutes for every four pounds of flour purchased. Victory flCur, however, is sold without substitutes and house. wives are urged by the State Food Administration to de- mand this flour from retailers.

A good thriving business, SO cial, educational and religious little town a big asset to the farmers of any community, The Commercial Club of En- terprise was attracting farm CTS by advertising thus:
 Good farms within a few
 miles of a good town, fine
 enterprising community.
 Good roads leading to
 good market. Good school
 and a church, a doctor,
 lawyer. dentist, garage,
 hotel, telephone, mail rou-
 te-all within reach. This
 town will double in size Tn
 two years which will dou-
 ble the price now asked
 fer the farms"
 These gre the arguments that confront the person who is looking for good farm. Why? Because they are real arguments that sell farms Why does not the man who re tires from farm life build a house on the farm or in the little town and live where he could do a lot of odd jobs that would keep him in better heal, tn, and keep the place in bet ter repair? Why does he move to the city? Because, it offers close at hand, the improve. ments that he wants. The small town should offer these advan. tages.

This com mittee have been actively engaged in an endeavor to have the govern ment give a bonus on all new gold production in the United States, and many conferences have been held and much progress made. The question has been taken up by the various states and mining organi- cations and by some of the Allied countries, and it confidently felt that in the near future a substan- tial help will be rendered the gold mining industry by having the Gov ernment absorb the great difference in the cost of production owing to the war conditions.

INFLUENZA WAS CAUSE OF
 MRS. M'G|BNEY'S DEATH

Frank McGibney, of this city, who had been recently working on grading contract on the Nenana- Fairbanks line, received telegram yesterday from Mrs. Hill, of Van couver. B. C., a sister of his late wife, informing him that the cause of his wife's death was pneumonia. brought on by an attack of influenza. She succumbed to the disease on October 17th, after an illness of only five days.

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS

Secretary Lane announces that the preparation of a program look ing to providing farms for returned soldiers has been given into the hands of A. P. Davis, director and chief engineer of the Reclamation Service, who will have general charge of the work, and with whom will be associated Elwood Mead, H. T. Cory and Frank w. Hanna. MT. Mead was formerly in charge of the land settlement work of the state of California. MT. Cory is the engineer who had charge of closing the Salton Sea for the Southern Pacific, and MT. Hanna is one of the most prominent en- gineers of the West. MT. Wey- worth, chief of construction for the Reclamation Service stationed at Denver, will report on possible irri- gation projects MT Cory on the swamp and cut-over lands of the South, and Mir. Hanna on the swamp and cut-over lan' of the North.
 We can have a job at good pay for every soldier who returns from France,' said Secretary Lane, "if Congress will give us the financial support needed And while at work the soldier can male a home for himself for which he can pay the ] government in 40 years time. This plan has received the indorsement of so large percentage of Con- gress and the press of the country that it appears to be a probable program; it certainly is a practic- able one. We have but $2OO,OOO now for preliminary surveys and re- ports, but this will be increased un- doubtedly by the incoming Con- gress. There is enough waste and undeveloped land in this country to give every soldier a farm, but of course no such program is con. templated, because all would not want farms"

IIMbERMEN CUT
 FRENCH FORESTS ID. SAVE CARGO

TOURS, Central France. Timber cutting for the use of the American army is proceeding on vast scale in some of the great forest regions of France, as well as in Switzerland and Spain. The cutting of tree in France has been, in peace times, little short of felony, and no tree could be removed until vigorous sapling was ready to take its place. But the stern requirements of war have compelled a change in this con- servation of the forests, and the French are yielding the trees they have so long safeguarded.
 Great as the sacrifice is, it has been recognized as war measure, since the bringing over from Amer ica of the vast amount of lumber required for construction purposes would be practically impossible, or if undertaken would stop the trans port of troops. So the forests are going, and for the first time solid stone construction is giving place to the lighter and much more rapid wood construction.
 Besides the gathering of this huge stock of material, requiring thous- ands of foresters, there is the work of building the hospitals, docks, bar racks, etc. The vastness of these building operations can be judged from the one item of building hos pitals.
 Hospitals are built on the basis of beds for 10 per cent of the strength of troops, so that with an army of a million men the hospital provision must be for 100000 beds :; and with an army of two million men, the actual estimate for hospi- tals is 100000 beds. As there are as many attendants as wounded occupying beds, this makes require ments for 100000 or the size of a great metropolis, in the one item of hospitals.
 Several 10000 bed hospitals are under way, and two 10000 bed hos pitals are being provided. One of these 10000 bed establishments, with its 10000 attendants, makes a large village of itself, of 10000 people, with their own electric light, water and sewer systems, and all the organization of a large muni- cipality.
 The building of warehouses, docks etc, is on the same gigantic scale as hospitals. At three different points there is an average construc- tion of three warehouses put up each day, and each 300 by 50 feet in dimensions. Ten miles of docks is about keeping pace now with the requirements of an army of two million men, but with a prospective army much greater than this, thirty miles of docks is the minimum re- quirement. Much of the barracks and trench construction is rush work which will have to be completed be- fore winter. .~ Ill.,.
 These are some of the outsta,ld- ing features of this huge work of army construction carried on by the engineers, far exceeding the work of the Panama canal or any ether engineering operation the United States has ever before undertaken

MIR. SULZER, DELEGATE

form in which he pledged himself to work for many reforms and leg islative enactments for the better ment of the Territory of Alaska, Chas. A. Sulzer was elected Dele egate to Congress in 1916. He took office on April 3, 1917. Shortly thereafter Mr. Wickersham, who was his opponent in 1916, filed a con- test in the House of Representa- tives, alleging that he had right fully been elected as Delegate to Congress, and asking that MT. Sul- Fer be unseated and that he, Wick ersham, be recognized as the rep resentative of Alaska,
 Mr. Wickersham has not succeed ed in having MT. Sulzer unseateds nor is it likely that he will sue ceed. MT. Sulzer is still Delegate and is working hard, as he has ever since taking office, in the interests of the Territory. The elections committee has made no report to the House of Representatives, and there is no knowing when any re- port will be made, nor what it will be. Erroneous reports have been circulated throughout the Territory by MT. Wickersham and his follow CTS that he had been seated as Dele gate. These reports are false.
 Mr Sulzer and his friends con sider that the most important work undertaken by the Delegate is his Home Rule Bill, whereby he hopes to have extended to Alaska the same rights and privileges of home territories of the United States. By this bill, which is now pending be- fore Congress the people of Alaska are given full powers to legislate for themselves,
 It is matter of interest to note that Mr. Wickersham's Home Rule bill, passed when he was Delegate to Congress, gives the Territory practically no powers His friends argued at first that that bill was but the beginning, that he had done well to secure it's passage, and that it would be followed by another more liberal bill. That these fol lowers were either badly fooled themselves, or trying to deceive the public, is shown by a state ment made by Mr Wickersham him. self when he appeared before the Elections Committee of the House of Representatives.
 In that statement, MT. Wicker sham said that his Home Rule bill ?. was drawn as it was in order that the people of Alaska might not destroy themselves" He showed thereby conclusively that he does not consider the people of Alaska capable of handling their own af- fairs.
 No question outside of securing, equipping and feeding the great American army is receiving greater consideration today by governmental leaders than that of keeping up the gold output of the United States. And it is matter of pride and qualification to Alaskans to know that MT. Sulzer was the leader in the campaign to secure such assist ance for the gold mining industry that it might continue to exist. Another important step was then taken. MT. Sulzer asked all the Congressmen from the gold mining sections of the country to meet in- formally to discuss ways and means of helping the gold miners. Pursu- ant to this call some twenty 0, more representative met in the office of Congressman Taylor, of Colorado. An organization was
