RELIEVING THE FARMER

The Federal Food Administrator re-
lieVeS the farmer from the provisions
of the order promulgated some days
ago requiring that every time a puf-
chase Of flour is made the consumer
should procure an equal amount Of
corn meal, hominy, grits, rice, or otn.
er cereal. News from Washington is
to the effect an exception is made in
the case of a farmer who has already
provided himself with meal and other
substitutes. Here is the ruling, short
and sweet:
"The Food Admins tration has rul-
ed that in North Carolina all retail
ers and millers are authorized to sell
a farmer wheat flour in reasonable
quantities upon a statement by that
farmer that he has at home a supply
of wheat substitutes produced on his
farm or purchased from mills. We
are asking such persons to confine
their purchase of flour to a quantity
not exceeding 20 per cent of their nor
NAL consumption, and are urging all
to use substitutes to the greatest pos
sible extent"
This is fair enough and our farmer
friends will doubtless show their ap-
probation of this exception to the
general rule" by accepting the sug-
gestion of economizing in the use of
wheat-four. Corn bread is no strang-
er to our western North Carolina far
mers anyway. Most of them were.
raised on it." The industrious house
holders of this neck o. the woods
know how to prepare the corn dod-
ger" fit for the President himself to
enjoy and cutting the -four ration 80
per cent will be easy. Until recent
years, the average farmer had his bis
cult only once a week and he can
certainly live on corn bread two days
out Of seven now without serious in
convenience. Especially when by so
doing he may help win the war.
The farmers may. also, purchase
flour in quantities not exceeding for
ty-efght pounds, according to a &c
cision Of State Food Administrator
Page, who realizes the inconvenience
of being allowed tw~entyfour pounds
only. When the busy season arrives
and farmers begin preparing for
crops they will need to be at home
instead of journeying to the towns
and cities in quest of flour. Corn
bread, properly prepared, is more

A SAVINGS COUNCIL

--
Col. F. H. Fries, State Director OF
the National War Savings Committee,
is waging an energetic campaign for
the sale of Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Certificates. 1t will be re-
membered that the Government is ask
ing a loan of $4,000, OOO, 900 for war
purposes and the people of North Car
olina are asked to subscribe for $48,-
100000 Of the baby bonds offered
in denominations of $500, for which
purchasers advance Sab, and $10O
requiring an outlay of ready money
amounting to $3.50. In other words,
to every one who " $4.13 cents
the Government will pay $500 and
to those saving $500 will be given
500 on January 1, 1923.
A War Savings Institute was
held in Raleigh for the purpose of
disseminating information amongst
che people relative to the Thrift Cam
raign and in the hope Of inspising pa
triotic zeal in the interest of the pro-
paganda. The object of the campaign
is two-fold. First, to assist the Gov
eminent in securing the money need
ed for the perfection of war plans;
second, to inculcate a spirit of thrift
and economy in the minds of the peo-
pie.
Each one of the 100 counties of the
State was urged by Colonel Fries and
Governor Beckett to send representa-
tives. to this conference. including
county and superintendent of educa-
ton, county demonstration agents,
health officers and the chairman of
the local war savings committees. In
spring addresses were delivered to
the assemblage by men of national
reputation and all who attended the
meetings not only found them pleas
ant, but very profitable in their reia-
lions to this important movement.
The Raleigh convention marks the
real beginning of a systematic cam
paign in which every patriotic North
C%arolinian should cheerful1y enlist,
with a determination to do, or dare
to try" I

you are in the habit of drafting

In my opinion the senatorial inquisi-

responsible for the sinking of the Tus-

and tortured out of him a confession
of the gigantic movement of our
troops across the seas. Then the en-
envy knew what was happening and
the submarine lurked for their prey.
This whole inquisition is bottomed
on the inordinate vanity of a few SEN

and its benefits to Henderson county
multiplied, but it certainly deserves,
it seems to me, more consideration in
the columns ofyour paper, purely on
the basis of a local enterprise that is
doing a great deal for the community.
Kanuga club has been the means of
locating investments in Henderson
county that now aggregate over half
a million dollars, if the figures given
me are correct. It so happens that
no one interested in Kanuga is on the
ground to urge that it have more
prominence in1ocal advertising. l
have no doubt that this is an over
sight, but it is, nevertheless, some
thing that should have consideration.
For instance, the present outlook, so
I am told, for the summer season at
Kanuga is that it will entertain in
large numbers of the families of army
officers now stationed at the six army
camps that are within easy reach of
Hendersonville. Kanuga has facili-
ties for accommodations that exactly
suit the requirements of the desirable
of these people from all parts of the
country, should they come, would be
of infinite value to Hendersonville.
Of course, you know your business
and Know what local interests you
want to support and which ones you
want to overlook, but for my part, l
cannot see how Kanuga can, in simple
to Hendersonville, be ignored
as it is and has been by your paper.
The writer is making no complaint
personally; some of the warmest
friends 1 have are in Hendersonville
and the ties with many of them have
count among my friends there your
Mr.. Darlington, SO this letter is not a
complaint from any personal stand
point. What I am trying to empha-
ize is the support that Kanuga should
nave as one Of your local institutions.
The same could be said of Highland

French Broad Hustler,
Hendersonville, N. G..
Gentlemen:
I am sending you herewith check
for $1.OO, covering my subscription to
January 1st, 1919. Kindly credit
same and acknowledge receipt.
The writer every now and then
notes extensive references in your
columns to the good roads of Hender-
son county, but so far as l recall, l
have never seen any reference to the
private road that was built to Kanu-
ga eight years ago and was the first
sand-clay road in Western North Car
DINA. l feel that I can speak free
ly now with reference to Kanuga for
the reason that it belongs to some n
else and call your attention to the
fact that Kanuga and its affairs are
very rarely mentioned in your col
umns, more as a matter of. simple
justice than of selfish interest.
Kanuga Club is the largest single
enterprise in Henderson county for
bringing in money from elsewhere
and putting it in the hands of your
citizens, unless perhaps, the mill at
Green River does more. 1t is a sort
of funnel through which the funds
from a dozen other states r pour
ed into the hands of your people. !
am glad, of course, that this is so and
hope to see the development enlarge
