Death of Mrs. ShattuCk.

The death of Mrs. Shattuck,
wife of Prof. R. A. Shattuck the
we'll known music teacher, died
Wednesday at her home in Ferdi-
nand after a brief illness with
pneumonia, at the age of SO years.
The burial took place in the
Cottonwood cemetery this after
noon, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. Gornall at one
o'clock.
AS evidence of the high esteem
in which the deceased and her
husband are held, the floral offer
ings were profuse and beautiful.
Among the flowers furnished were
wreaths by the Ladies Aid Socie-
ty, the Rebekah lodge and bands
of Ferdinand and Cottonwood.

More Dope on Wheat and Flour

1t has been impossible for me
to answer all the letters in regard
to the disposition of surplus flour,
etc. The food administration
does not expect anyone to do the
impossible. 1t is not likely that
those in the very remote parts of
the county will be compelled to
return any flour unless their sup
ply is evidently in excess of their
needs or if they are disregarding
food conservation rules. But it is
demanded that they report what
they have.
No definite provision has been
made for the return of flour except
that merchants may take it back
at the present market price.
Farmers should sell the wheat
they have left after seeding. If
lit is not sold it will be comman-
deered.
1t is urged that each family
should strive to be as near self
supporting as possible by planting
a garden, and especially by rails
ing a large patch of potatoes.
Remember that the Govern
ment expects you to use not to
exceed 6 pounds of wheat flour
for each person per month. If
you use more, our soldiers and al
lies will have less.
Victor Peterson,
Food Administrator for Idaho
County.
