u. S. Food
Administration
Seizes Flour
and Sugar

The Fremont County Food Admin
istration has seized 700 pounds of
wheat flour and 200 pounds of sugar
from a Rockvale man. This seizure
was due to the fact that he had not
complied with the Government order
to make a report of the amount on
hand Deputy Administrator Brad
bury. accompanied by Sheriff New
comb. made the trip and found the
flour and sugar concealed in the at
brought in and placed in the Local
Red Cross Rooms and will be sold and
the proceeds turned over to the Red
Cross.
The Government is becoming very
active in dealing with people who
failed to make these reports when re
auested and given an opportunity
Those who made their reports were
permitted to retain their stocks on
hand and use them in accordance with
the Government regulations which is:
8 lbs. of flour and 5 lbs of sugar per
person in the family per month.
The County Administration is. re
ceiving some reports of people who
failed TO avail themselves of the OPP
portunity given them. These cases
are being investigated and will be
dealt with accordingly. The people
should learn TO know that when the
United States Government issues an
order that ii is not to be taken light
ly. II is the intent of the Food Ad-
ministration to be fair and just and
it therefore has the right TO expect
that the people will do their patriotic
duty in making reports when called
for from any department

Another Fake News
Story Given Out
in Canon City

The city was stirred up again Sun
dag afternoon by the passing out of
another fake news dispatch
This alleged dispatch represented
that million Germans including the
crown prince had been captured at
Scissors, Sunday morning.
The dispatch" was pnoned up town
from the Rio Grande depot and was
represented as being q United Press
or Associated Press dispatch caught
OF the wire. The fake telegram was
read at the Chamber of Commerce
dinner at the Miller hotel: at the
Chautauqua and posted in several
business house windows along Main
street.
The claims made in the fake tele-
gram were so absurd that few believed
it genuine. but never the less. it
served to excite the people and cause
them TO wonder if there were not
some grounds for the much hoped-for
good news. And il served to make
any ordinary victory we may achieve
look like thirty cents.
But there was none.
The Record checked up on the mat
ter with the city papers and found
that no such report was even circu-
lated in the big cities.
The message as given out in Can
on City was a fake. pure and simple.
Where il eminated. we know not.
One thing certain is was not a
United Press nor an Associated Press
dispatch.
Another thing certain, it is no very
loyal friend to the country who is
handing out such fake reports as those
of Thursday night and Sunday after
noon
The people are too deeply interest
ed in this big serious war to enjoy
being played horse with in any such
manner
