TO THE PUBLIC:


In as much as there have been

whether or not it is fit for human con-
sumption or flour purposes. Poul-
try feeds are manufactured by the
Western Feed Company and the Riv-
erside Mill of Reno, or are handled
by them, and there are others whose
duuISsSSS VIC dIS iot INV
with. These poultry feeds are made
under government regulations, and
may be fed unless condemned for
human consumption by the mill div
ision."
Mr.. Lennon states further, that in
the very near future there will be a
flour campaign in Nevada i. for the
purpose OF loading several car loads
for Shipment to the allies, and that
those who have more than a normal
supply of flour on hand can do pat
riotic duty, and dispose of the same
in the above manner"
