MAY SERVE
MUTTON ON
LESSDAYS'

That only mutton nj ~ be served
on Tuesdays, meatless days, is the
gist OF letter received today by G.
M. Hollingsworth, county food ad.
mihistrator, from the office of the
state administrator Mr.. Hollings-
worth wrote for explicit Instructions
on this point. The letter received
follows:
For the present there is only one
meatless day-or rather beefless and
porkless day-which is Tuesday. Al
so meatless meal each day.
On Tuesday hog liver, spare ribs,
backbones and iowls must not be
served. However it is permissible
to serve mutton on that day.
/ hope this will clear up any con-
fusion on that point. Should you
still have question, will be glad
to help you out

from Curtis e. Cook, who left Chick
asha with the last increment of the
Grady county selectmen and who
seems to be getting along fine and
dandy in the army. Like Clyde Tur-

geant This bird is evidently "sit-
ting there" or thereabouts as the
majority Of letters from Travis abso-
lutely hand him the rabbit Cook
lived on a farm northwest OF Chick
asha and is well known here. The
letter follows;
"The boys of the last increment
from Grady county having recovered
from all vaccination and are now un-
dergoing active training. On account
of the late arrival of boys from other
counties we are still under quaran-
tine for an additional two weeks.
I'VE have been on several hikes
and every one seems to enjoy them
to the fullest; on our first hike we
made about five miles; second, they
added about mile, and so on till we
can stand to hike at least thirty miles
