No Noticeable Difference.

In few weeks time all the people
of this country will be eating Vic
tory bread made from Victory mixed
flour, so per cent wheat flour and 20
per cent substitutes, and will never
notice that any change has been
made. Indeed, it now takes an ex-
pert to tell the difference in the
bread. Dealers will be handling the
mixed flour exclusively for conyen-
fence, economy il handling and be-
cause the housewife does not want
the extra trouble of mixing her own
flour at home. II is easier for the
millers to mix the flour as they
make it, and it is cheaper for them
to do SO. This will insure a uni.
formity in the product
The normal consumption of hour
in this country is one barrel per per.
son annually. How much of your
barrel are you going to save for
the army and the Allies this year?

NOV. 8 DESIGNATED
AS GAS MASK DAY

Governor Cornwell issued proc
lamation to the people of West Cir
ginia proclaiming Saturday, Nov.
3. Gas Mask Day, on which he urges
the people of the state, particularly
the boys and girls, to collect large
quantities of fruit pits and nuts,
from which gas protection is sup
piled the soldiers in France. The
pits and nuts will be handled through
the local Red Cross chapters.
The governor sets forth that he
was urged to do this by the Gas De-
Tense division of the Chemical War
fare service of the u S. army. by
which ia is declared the need of
fruit pits and nuts is most urgent as
they produce carbon of a superior
quality that serves as an absorbent
of poisonous gases in the masks used
to protect the soldiers.
A million pounds of the material a
day is declared to be needed. The
governor calls upon the people OF
tie state to make special efforts that
dcy to collect peach, plum and cher.
~ pits, and hickory nuts, walnuts
and hutternuts to be delivered te
the Ted Cross.

Henry Van Dyke, Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman and Rev. Hunter Corbett,,
of China, appoints the day as one of
Thanksgiving in those communities
where the epidemic has abated.
I'm all past time" says the call,
such a visitation has called the peo-
pie stricken by it to self-sacrifcing
and impelled them to cast them
selves in prayer before God. Is this
our attitudue of mind just now? Do
we hear Gods call in the cry Of the
sick at our door as well as in the
cannon across the sea? Surely-He is
speaking to us in no uncertain way.
God pity us if we do not hear and

REPAIRING FROGS
AT LOCAL SHOPS


"A new feature has been added to
the varied output of the Martinsburg
shops of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
cad. 1t provides for the building up
of worn out frogs by welding new
material in the worn surfaces. An
expert has been teaching three oper-
ators and after they become efficient
they will be sent out over the entire
Baltimore and Ohio system repairing
frogs in the tracks. A special filler
is being used. and after the frog has
been resurfaced it will give much ad-
ditional service. This same process
has been tried out in the shops of
other roads and good results have
been obtained

STATE GAME LAW
MUST Be OBSERVED
Hunters To Conform To State
and Federal Laws.

Hunter in West Virginia and 9TH
er states in making their plans for
shooting migratory waterfowl will
we'll to note the dates of open sea
sons under both the state and fed
eral laws, this caution being Issued
by the United States department of
agriculture. There has been consid- |
cradle confusion resulting from a.
miseonception of the laws of the
states of the federal government be-
cause of the difference in the open
seasons. In the matter of observ
aRee- of the laws which govern the.
shooting or hunting of various kinds
of game, ignorance does not excuse
the violator of the law.
The federal law and regulafions
limit the seasons before and afte"i
which no one may shoot these BIRDS.
If state law opens the season LAT
or or closes it earlier than the dates
prescribed by the federal regula-
lions, the season in that state is
just so much further shortened. Spe
cial attention is called TO the fact
that the federal reulations do not
authorize anyone to hunt or kill mi
gratory birds contrary to the state
Law.
Some Dates Conflict
In certain states, as for example,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky. Missouri and South Dakota,
the season fofr shooting migratory
waterfowl under the state law would
open prior to the date of opening
under the federal regulations were
it not for the fact that the federal
regulations supersede state laws in
such case of conflict and prescribe
for these states September is as the
beginning of the open season.
Under the migratory bird treaty
act regulations it is lawful to hunt
waterfowl Except wood ducks, cid
er ducks, and swans, for which there
is no open season., rails, coot, gal
linules, Wilson snipe or jacksnipe,
black-bellied and golden ployers, vel
low1egs, woodcock, and mourning or
white-winged doves during the open
seasons prescribed by the regula-
tons. The several states, however,
are authorized under the treaty TO
act still further to protect migra-
tory birds.
Treaty Prohibits Sales
Under the treaty act and regula
tons the sale of all migratory birds
other than propagated waterfowl, is
prohibited throughout the United
States except for scientific or pro
pagating purposes. Maximum bag lin
its are also prescribed and when
permitted by state law, two days
limit of migratory birds may be
shipped or transported from one
state to another in a calendar week
