busy with his plans for the next Lib
erty Loan drive which is now on so
far as advertising is concerned, but
which will witness no active solicita-
tion until the last week OF the cam

Iron county is quite fortunate this
time in the amount assigned to 10. In
all other loans the proportion assigned
to this county was considered high.
Although the loan is to be twice what
the last one was the amount which
this county will be asked TO buy u
just about. what II was last time.
The newspapers OF the county have
started their advertising campaign
which is to be confined TO page ads.
The ads are designed by the treasury
authorities and are very impressive as
may be seen by the ads this week
contributed by the Crystal Falls City
Light q Water Department, and by
Hematite township.
An educational campaign will be
carried on throughout the county.

intensive canvass will be made, An

THE NEW FLOUR RULING.

The new -four ruling issued by the
Food Administration is so important
that every housewife on our sub
scription list should familiarize her
self with II at once.
Hereafter retail dealers. can pur-
chase -four containing the proper ad-
mixture and will through this means
not be compelled to buy substitutes.
Barley, corn meal and corn flour are
the only hours which the food admin
istration recognizes as wheat substi-
tutes TO be sold under the modified
ruling. A retailer may now sell
wheat -four at the rate OF four pounds
to each pound of substitute.
However, II the purchaser desires
he can take substitutes I'm the follow
ing proportion as outlined by Mr.. Van
Scoy: Four pounds OF wheat TO one
pound OF the following: Kaffir -four,
milo -four. feterita -four, rice -four,
oat -four mot oatmeaD, peanut Hour,
bean -four, potato -four. sweet potato
-four, buckwheat flour.
Whole wheat or graham -four or
meal shall contain at least 95 per cent
OF the wheat berry and does not re-
qulre a s>bstitute. Rye -four Is now
a substitute in the proportion OF three
pounds OF wheat -four to two pounds
OF rye -four. II rye -four enough is
not taken to make the proportion
three pounds OF wheat -four to two
pounds OF rye -four. other substitutes
must be taken to make the proportion
three pounds OF wheat -four to two
.nnds OF substitutes.

PUT THEM TO SHAME.

a number Of Crystal Falls men and
boys put the gasoline restriction into
effect last Sunday in the most effective
manner possible. They gathered on
one of the principal corners OF the
city early in the forenoon and as an
autoist came along they started to
call out Stacker" and "booed" him
numerically. Time after time some
thoughtless autoist would turn around,
put his car into the garage and come
down and join the bunch.
The request OF the government met
with a fine response all around Sun
day. Only few violators were in evil
dence and they were almost all for
eigners.

GASOLINE NOTICE.

While a generous response follow
ed the governments request that au-
to owners refrain from pleasure rid
ing on Sundays to save gasoline for
the use OF the army, there are few
slackers in this as In every other war
activity.
In order that the 100 per cent
American people OF Iron county may
not be imposed upon by the few
slackers there will be a careful check
ing up made hereafter on Sunday OF
all autos out.
Arrangements have been made for
carrying on the work. In Iron River.

RED CROSS KNITTING PROSPECTS

Notional headquarters advises us
that
(a) The stock OF yarn Is about L.
100000 pounds and while additional
yarn may be obtained, the total will
be considerably under the 100000
pounds used last year
(b) The Red Cross has In addition
ready for distribution 100000 sweat
ers. $4,000 mufflers. 3S4 900 wrist
let's, 22S,000 helmets and 1898 900
pairs OF socks, which, with new art
icles TO be made. will meet the urg-
ent needs OF our men during the
coming winter.
(c) From September 1, 1917 to
June 30, 1918. the Red Cross distrib-
uted 5.S75.O00 knitted articles to

$4,000 knitted articles to the Red
Cross commissioners in France and
Italy.
The War Industries Board requests
that all chapters secure yarn exclus-
lively through the Division Bureaus
OF Supplies.
May we emphasize the necessity OF
giving these facts special and immed-
late publicity in your local newspa-
per and through all other channels
that may occur to you in view OF the
misnformation that seems TO be cir
culating among many OF your york
ers.

REGISTER SEPT. ls.
Pres. Wilson Set That Day As One for
New Registration.


September II instead of September
z will be the day upon which the
new registration will be made. The
date was fixed by President Wilson
when he signed the bill last Saturday.
IL was originally intended that Sep
tember 9Th should be the day but
there was some delay in getting the
bill through and then September 7th
was announced as the probable date
and we made the statement last week
that It would fall upon that date.
County Clerk Wall informs us that
a large number OF registrars have been
provided in Iron county and II Is not
expected that there will be any delay
In making the registration at any of
the precincts.
In Crystal Falls the registration
will be he'd in the city hall. For Mas
todon township It will be held in the
village hall; for Amasa the registra-
tion will occur In the town hall, and
in the township at the Tobin mine
There is some talk of providing
some patriotic doings for registration
day The mines will close and II Is
very probable that there will be no
work OF any kind carried on in Iron
county that day.
