FOOD ADMINISTRATION
GIVES GU THEW RULES

The first of this week County
Food Administrator Pugmire of st. /
Charles mailed to all precinct admin
strators blanks for the purpose of
lscertaining the amount of -four
sach family in the county has on
hand.
The order which was issued some
time ago by the national food ad-
ministration prohibiting any family
from having more than 80 days
supply of wheat -four on hand has
been modified to this extent: Fam
lilies having a surplus of -four will be
permitted to retain the same, but all
over 80 days supply will be sub
ject to the demand of the govern
ment.
MIR. Pugmire is anxious that the
reports from the various precincts be
forwarded to him at the earliest
possible date 30 that he may be able
to report to the state food admins
tration the amount of wheat -four on
hand in Bear Lake county.
The average monthly consumption
of wheat in the United States Is
about $4,000, 900 bushels. II we are
to furnish the allies and our soldiers
in France with the necessary proper
tion of wheat from now until the
next harvest, and this is an absolute
necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to $4,000, 900
bushels or SO per cent of our normal
consumption.
To effect the needed savings of
wheat we are wholly dependent up
on the voluntary assistance OF the
American people. and in the hope OF
obtaining this saving the U. 8. Food
Administration has issued the fol-
lowing rules, copy of which was
received a few days ago by County
Food Administrator Pugmire:

PATRIOTIC GIRLS.

l know a bunch of damsels fair,
whose spirit greatly l admire; they
have the nerve to do and dare, they're
full of patriotic fire. There's one of
them so passing sweet, she'd make
the fetchingest of fraus, and men
are always at her feet with talk Of
rings and marriage VOWS. Whoever
gets her in the end will have to bear
the marks of strife; she'll be a sister
or a friend to others, but she won't
be wife. "Ill never wed a man who
shirks, who does not, when his coun-
try calls" she says, elbow out a Teu-

are thoroughbreds. of spirit high,
their one regret that they can't go
and show US how to bleed and die. A
man will wonder where he's at when
for a bond he shells the rocks; his
wife will soak her Sunday hat to buy
the yarn for soldiers socks. A man
will sigh for if he must use some
substitute for beef or cheese; his wife
will auction off her shoes and bare
foot go to knitting bees-Walt Mason.

BROTHER AND SISTER
BOTH BECOME INSANE

BOTH BECOME INSANE
Genera Lamar and Richard Lamar,
sister and brother, living on home
steads at Caldwell near Harlem, were
brought into Malta last week charged
with being insane.
They were discovered by neighbors
who claim they are suffering from
religious decisions, and they were
brought into town Immediately. The
Lamars formerly lived in Morris,
Okla, according to the Harlem News,
where the son visited his parents very
recently. Since his return, both he
and his sister have shown fanatical
and violent religious frenzies, sing
ing psalms and shouting the scrip
lures till exhausted. Although extreme
in this regard, they had always been
respected and liked by their neigh
bors.
Both young people have the repu-
tation of being hard working and be-
sides a half section, each has some
horses and cattle. The fact that both
should go insane at the same time is
a puzzle to the authorities. At first it
was thought that Richard Lamar
might be shamming to escape mill
tary service, as he was of draft age,
but subsequent actions have dispelled
this theory.
Before the two were found the sis
ter had frozen her feet so badly that
partial am%putation of n may be
necessary. When asked how this hap
pened, she said that she sat on a snow
bank on one Of the 40 degrees below
zero days and that she did not suffer
at all. II finally shivered so hard
that l shivered myself warm" is her
explanation. The brother, when asked
about it, said: ut is the will of God"
Since their Incarceration in Malta
the girl got away once and gave the
officers a merry chase before she was
recaptured; and the young man climb
ed the bars of his cell and fell back
! wards from the top, becoming un-
:""s from the fall. He was put
in a straight 1acs,:ct at once to pre-
vent further harm.
