SUGAR REGULATIONS
To Retailers and Consumers of GUN
,nison County Effective at Once

Discontinue previous sugar regu-
lations which provide for sale OF fifty
cents worth and one dollars worth
of sugar to town and country con-
sumers. In place of the above
amounts, from now on sell only two
pounds to consumers in towns and
cities and only five pounds to rural
consumers. No certificates or per-
mits are necessary for a consumer to
purchase sugar for ordinary purposes.
Grocers are warned to sell no sugar
to any one who is not a regular Gus
toner for other food products
Canning and Prescribing sell
ers of sugar to consumers for can
ming purposes are held responsible
in case the sales to any particular
consumer should exceed the quantity
of sugar such consumer shall actually
use for the purpose of canning or
preserving and therefore it will be
advisable that all grocers use the ut
most care when selling sugar on
these canning pledges.
Any person found boarding sugar
will be prosecuted and they are sub
ieet to a fine of $1,000 or two years
in prison or both,
Manufacturers Without special
permission from me do not sell sugar
under any consideration to manufac-
turers who do not present certii-
cate for the amount they wish to
purchase.
Bakers Of pies, cakes and other
pastries are also included as manu-
facturers and if they have not al
ready secured information blanks
from me. they should do so at once.
These information blanks are to be
filed out, sworn to and mailed to me.
Failure Of any persons to obey the
above regulations will have their sup
ply of sugar shut off
1t is your duty to spread this in
formation in every way possible.
Do Not Neglect youe Monthly
Flour Report.-This must be in by
the eighth of every month for the
preceding month or letter of expla-
nation will be necessary. ] would
consider it a great favor if vnu would
include in your next report list of
all grocers in your community so that
l may be sure tha5 / am notifying
everyone. Yours very truly,
f. / SARGENT,
County Food Administrator.

To All Hotels, Restaurants and
Boardinn Houses

The Federal Food Administration
requests that all hotels, restaurants,
and boarding houses do not place on
their menus boiled beef more than
two meals weekly; beefsteak more
than one meal weekly; and roast beef
more than one meal weekly.
Tuesday and Thursday are the
days chosen for one meal each day in
which boiled beef may be served.
Wednesday as the day on which roast
beef may be served for one meal and
Saturday the day on which beefsteak
may be served for one meal
The reason for this ruling is that
the demand for beef for our army
and our Allies for this summer are
beyond our surplus. The supply of
pork has sufficiently increased to en-
courage the substitution of pork, ham
and sausage for beef products.
1t is anticipated that this order
will be effective until Sept. 18th, and
the above rules will be strictly en-
forced upon all public eating houses
as authorized by the National Food
Administration. Yours truly,
E. L. SARGENT
County Food Administrator.

FIau Day

Crested Butte can now boast of as
fine a flag pole as our neighbors and
with a good program on the evening
of June Ia, the national Flag Day,
the fine new town flag was raised
The pole was found and prepared by
the C. F. G I. company, under the
direction of Supt. Manley. 1t was
sunk in four feet of cement and later
will be painted. The flag was raised
by the Civil war veterans, S. C. Rob-
inson and B. f. Bennett, while Miss
Ruby Nutting and Miss Kathyrn Sic
vers sang the Star Spangled Banner,
accompanied by VIM. Bailey on the
clarinet.
Then followed the pledge of allie
glance to the flag, and Americas
Creed, said in unison.
An address full of rousing patri-
otism and splendid in its forceful
points, covering the meaning of the
occasion, was given by Frank Songer,
followed by an enthusiastic singing
Crested Butte band assisting.

Tho War SAVINGS Campsion

The Gunnison County War Savings
organization has decided that owing
to the conditions in Gunnison county,
it is impractical to attempt to put
over such an immense undertaking in
two hours time. since most of the
communities are either rural or in
dustrial, making it impossible to see
every individual in the county in two
hours time. Therefore, June 20 has
been set as the opening day for the
campaign and it will culminate in
series of two hours meetings from
200 to 400 p. M, on June %. Each
school district in the county will have
meeting at that time for the pur-
pose of taking any pledges for the
purchase of War Savings Stamps
which have not already been pledged.
The Gunnison county quota is S126.-
900 and it will require a supreme eff
fort on the part of the residents of
this county to raise this amount of
pledges during the campaign.
These War Savings Stamps are in
$500 denominations and this month
will cost S4.17 each, increasing at the
rate of cent each month. These
stamps can be cashed in at any post
office in the United States by notify
ing the postmaster ten days In ad-
vance.

Obituary Of Henry /. O'Neil

With the passing of Henry l..
O'Neill, due to the fatal accident last
Thursday, the whole community was
stricken with the awfulness of seeing
the young life snuffed out so sudden
ly and so accidently, The young man
was 'favorite here among all the
younger set. He was full of life and
activity, taking part in all the fun
and sports, living to the full the Joy
Of youth.
Henry L. O'Nein was born June 80,
1898, at Gallup, New Mexico, coming
hero with his parents when just a
little boy in 1902, he has since lived
here, working since yet a. lad, taking
the part of a man in his home life,
helping in the care of a large family.
Henry has been always a hard work
infi, industrious boy and his memory
is most dear to the parents and
brothers, sisters and scores of
friends.
Just week to the day, Henry was
to leave to enter service in the Unit
ed States Army, he was laid to rest
The funeral with the loads of beau
tiful flowers bespoke the love of the
friends and relatives left behind.
Requiem Mass was celebrated in his
honor Monday morning, Rev. VIM.
Kipp officiating, and the remains then
taken to the cemetery for interment
in solemn procession.
Henry o'Neill leaves behind him to
mourn his premature death, his faith
er and mother, FIVE brothers and five
sisters. The deepest sympathy is felt
and expressed for these by all the
town and friends elsewhere.

a Correetion

In connection with the very sad
death of Henry L. O'Neill, we feel it
our duty to contradict certain state
ments that appeared in the Denver
Post about the affair. 1t has been
proved beyond a shadow of doubt,
that young O'Neill had no part in the
quarrel or resultant shooting, other
than as an unfortunate by-stander.
Every one knowing the facts, is con-
vinced it was all CHASTITY accident
and mistake as far as he was con-
cerned.

THE ID. b. s. PICNIC

The d. B. S. picnic in the local
park at Askov Sunday was at
tended by between 200 and 300
people.
The principal speaker was c.
Nielsen Of Minneapolis, who was
introduced by r. A. K. Laage.
Mr.. Nielsen's remarks were
largely the same as what he de-
livered at the picnic here last
year, telling Of how the d. B. S.
originated, it's purposes and bene-
fits. However this time he did
not urge the organization of a
Danish Sisterhood. Mr.. Nielsen
also made a few patriotic re-
marks in English. Later in the
afternoon r. Nortvig enlivened
the gathering with a little hui
NOR. The Askov Band was on
hand and entertained the great
er portion of the afternoon.
Among the sports the tug-of-
war was without doubt the most
exciting A. P. Jensen being cap
tain on the winning side and N.
p. Nielsen captain of the loosers.
There were seven men on each
side and to say that they were
evenly matched is putting it
mild. They pulled and pulled for
several minutes without moving
in either direction but finally N.
p. Nielsen's team jumped the
job, but A. P. Jensen and his
teammates knew that they had
been in tussle.
At target shooting julius
Slot, Jr., received first prize,
Elmer Olesen second and Carl
Pearson third.
The weather was pleasant all
day and the gathering enjoyed
refreshments under the shade Of
the trees. The days festivities
wound up with a dance at town
hall.

The needs of platinum in war
industries and in the sciences are
explained by DR.. Charles L. Par
sons, chief chemist, Bureau of
Mines, Department of the Inter-
Tor, in an argument for discon-
tlnuance of the use of platinum
in jewelry.
The war can not be won with
out platinum" says DR.. Parsons,
and it is equally essential in
times of peace if our country is
to excel Germany in the devel-
opment of chemical science and
industry. With the aid of plati-t
mum from one ordinary wedding
ring about 100 pounds of nitric
acid can be made every "a hours.
This 100 pounds Of nitric acid
converted into high explosives
will send number of 3-inch
shells against the Germans and
help to bring the boys back
home.
Platinum rings. pins, cigar
rette cases. and mesh bags are
not, factors in winning this war
explosives are. wonder if
the purchasers and wearers of
platinum jewelry know that ex-
ploslves can not be manufactured
without the use of sulphuric and
nitric acid; that the manufacture
of these acids requires the use
of supplies of platinum; that air
planes must have platinum for
important instruments they
need; that platinum is absolute
ly necessary in the manufacture
of special promoters; that pyro-
meters are necessary in all steel
treatments; and that no guns can
be made without the use of py-
rometers.
There is a shortage in the
supply Of platinum. Russia has
a corner on the worlds supply,
and Germany is in Russia. Our
domestic production of platinum
is negligible. while our military
requirements are increasing at
a rapid rate :"
