County Food Administrator Asks All
Citizens to Cooperate With Or
ficers on War Measure.

l.. Matthews, Sr., attended meet
ing of County and State Food Admin
istrators at Des Moines last week, and
at that meeting he gained a fund
for information which will prove OF
much value to him in the discharge
of his task The food situation and
the question of conserving such food
as is essential to the feeding of the
armies of the United States and our
allies, was thoroughly discussed, and
every phase carefully considered.
At that meeting the matter Of en-
forcing the statute was entrusted in
the hands of the county food admins
traitors of the state, with full power,
under sections and of the Food
Commodities Licensing Act. Mr..
Matthews tells us that he believes
that the people of Delaware county
generally speaking, are trying to live
up to the letter of the law and that
he has experienced no difficulty so
far.
There are, no doubt, people in this
county who have purchased flour and
sugar in large quantities, previous to
the going into effect of the regulations
dli SuCu ICIuAh dhy oui pluo
over and above that which is allowed
under the law.
Mr.. Matthews is the last man in
the county who wants to prosecute
any man, and for that reason he is
issuing through the newspapers OF the
county the following notice:
Notice to HOarders.
"All persons having on hand more
-four and sugar than the U. S. Food
Administration allows according to it's
latest rules, are requested to report
at once to the Food Administrator OF
Delaware county. either by writing
him or reporting to him in person, the
amount of -four and sugar above the
u. S. Food Administration allowance.
Each family is allowed from one to
two sacks of -four and ten to twenty
pounds of sugar Report for adjust
ment and avoid any penalties for vio-
lation of said rules"
--"Date of purchase has no bearing
on the question OF hOarding.< Sections
and of the Food Commodities
Licensing Act give ample legal pow
err"

Food Administrator, Delaware coun-
ty, Iowa." IN

not have to cut it. That beats Della
ware county land worth $4,000 per
acre. They have had American soil
experts here and they report Mica
raugua has the very best sugar soil
that there is anywhere, better than
Cuba. I wish were able and would
clear and plant all of my land to
sugar. What seems remarkable that
all the people that l have met from
the States like this country so well
and the climate is so agreeable not
one of them wants to return to the
U. S. The day is coming when this
country is going to be one OF the
greatest food producing countries in
the world. All it needs is a little
money and a lot of brains.
Give my best regards to all OF my
Delaware county friends. Will write
more about the country next time.
Yours respectfully,
G.. L. ADAMS.

FARMERS BUY TRACTORS

John Powers, Of southeast Of Man
chester, Peter Ellis, who lives just
east of the yellow school house north
of Manchester, and Howard Cook, OF
Coffin's Grove, have invested in a
1920 type International farm tractor,
and will do the greater part of their
springs work with engine power in
stead of horse power. These tractors
burn kerosene fuel and can be used
for many purposes on the modern
farm. The w. D. Hoyt company, OF
this city, has the agency for the trac-
tors, and mas found a very ready
market for them.

The above cut is fac smile of the
button emblems of the Loyalty League
which have arrived and are ready fOl
distribution just as soon as the loca
committees have finished the work OF
preparing the lists Of the residents
of their districts. The button is white
with Loyalty League in red and the
rest Of the wording in blue, and makes
very handsome emblem.
Expressions of the approval Of the
plan of the Loyalty League are being
heard throughout the country, and
other places have written asking de-
tails of the plan. Several other places
in Iowa are already working similar
plans and others are preparing to do
so. 1t is said that it will be present
ed to the State Council of Defense at
their next meeting and will also be
considered at the next meeting OF
Commercial Club secretaries of Iowa
this month.
Masonville, Oneida. and Colesburg
are still without local oganization
and the general committee would APP
preciate assistance from anyone living
in the territory around those towns
in naming suitable men for local COM
mitteemen who will appreciate the
importance of this work and under
take to do it. other localities are
being carefully organized so that the
drive for funds will be made with the
least possible confusion or wasted ef-
fort.
The next Liberty Loan campaign is
proposed to begin April 9Th and in
May will come the Red Cross war
fund drive. 1t is very desirable to
have the Loyalty League solicitation
out of the way before these other cam
paigns, although the Liberty Loan
drive which of course is not taken
care of by the contributions to the
Loyalty League which are only for
war relief organizations.
Every American who wants to do
his share in taking care of and stand
ing back of our fighting men is asked
to volunteer his services to the local
committees or general committee OF
the Loyalty League. There is lots OF
work to be done and help is welcome.
