We have had two W. S. S. meet
ings and most of our people have
bought some stamps, yet there are a
few land owners who thus far have
refused to buy and some refuse to
give any reason for not doing so.
Where man is financially able to
lend the government money and re-
fuses to do so, he should be consid-
cred a German sympathizer and
dealt with accordingly, for we can't
serve two causes as far different as
our government and OF our enemy.
We are either for or against our
own free government Where do

WHO SHOULD HAVE POULTRY AND
ECO LICENSE.

The Presidents proclamation Of
May IA, requiring the licensing Of
those engaged in certain lines
OF business, including operators of
poultry and egg packing plants not
already licensed by the United
States Food Administration" has
been misunderstood by some of
those affected.
Under this classification anyone
who sells poultry or eggs in any
other way than at retail to the con-
sumner, regardless Of amount tf
business done, must be licensed.
There are many country store
keepers whose business is
mostly retail selling, who buy eggs
and sometimes poultry from the
farmers. They have never consid-
cred themselves as operators of
poultry and egg packing plants, but,
in reality, that is what they are
Inc TACT That they are in the retail
business on too small a scale to re-
quire a retailers license does not a.
ter the case In order to comply
with the law they must all fill out
blanks obtained from the United
States Food Administration ard
have licenses issued
We repeat again: Application for
license must be made to the u. S.
Food Administration, Law DeEau-
ment, License Division, Washington.
d. G., on forms prepared by it o..
that purpose, which may be secur-
ed on request without cost from the
Washington address DIRECT.
Yours truly,
H. A. MORGAN.
The above letter must be COM
piled with. hope you will ask for
your license at once.
