NEW FLOUR RULES TIES
UP ALL FLOUR SALES

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 30.-Whenever you
buy a pound of flour you must buy a
pound of some other cereal If you
buy 25 pounds of -four you must buy
25 pounds of some other cereal, or
cereals. You can divide your cereals
among rice, grits, oat meal and other
if you want to, but the cereal must
measure $3.50" with the flour.
Throughout the state and the United
States this rule is in effect, and ignor-
rance of the law is no excuse for
dealer who sells sack of flour withou
requiring the customer to take an equa
amount of cereals.
Yesterday at noon D. F. McClatchey,
executive secretary of the Food Admin
istration in Atlanta, was informed by
one concern operating more than IS
cash grocery stores that they hadn't
sold single sack of flour since the
rule went into effect Monday morning.
The government is obliged to have
flour to feed our soldiers and the sol
diers of our Allies, and whenever the
government is obliged to have any
thing it usually gets it.

HUN RUMORS ARE STARTED
WHENEVER WE HIT THEM

Atlanta, Oct. 12-Think this over
Did you ever notice that when the
United States was just attempting
big task in the prosecution of the
war, the Germans begin to send out
all sorts of rumors, and that these
rumors usually come through Am
sterdam or Stockholm?
How many times have you read
that Won Hindenburg was dead2 How
many times have you read that he and
the Kaiser had quarreled? How many
times have you read that the Kaiser
had deposed him and placed another
general in command?
Now they are feeding you still
more seductive ambrosia. through Am
sterdam and Stockholm. They are.
persistently sending out the rumor
that the Kaiser has abdicated. You
have read it,
That is German propaganda, the
shrewdest and the most dangerous
md. 1t is intended to make us think
they are cracking under the strain,
just at the time when our cue is to
hit them harder.

IN WASHINGTON THROUGH Eff
FORTS OF SENATOR SMITH.

Atlanta, Oct. 12.--The labor situa-
ton in Georgia has been greatly re-
lieved and simplified in the past few
days as the result of Senator Smith 8
effort to have all permits for recruit
ing labor in Georgia cancelled in Wash
ington
Only war activities may take adj
vantage of the privilege of soliciting
labor in the governments name. and
they must be war activities located
within the bounds of the state, so
that the labor supply will not be taken
to other parts Of the country
Owing to the extreme need of the
farmers for labor in gathering the cot
ton crop, and the fact that Georgia far
mers have produced the largest crops
on record this year in spite of the
draft and the high prices during labor
into war industries, Senator Smith
sslt that 1t was neither fair nor eXpe-
diant TO allow continuance of labor
recruiting in this state.
In Statement on the subject he
points out that Georgia is the empire
state in labor supply as well as agri-
culture and other resources, and he
is very anxious, as well as determined
that nothing shall be done to deprive
the state of her man power except
for actual military service and actual
war industries within the state.
