we are wholly dependent upon the

wheat products per person. This
means not more than TX pounds Of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking -four, macaroni,

2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate Of breadstuffs. macaroni,

town customer at any one time and
not more than one-Quarter Of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal

TAKES CHARGE OF POSTOFFICE.

Mrs. M. E. Brown, who was re-
Gently appointed postmistress of
Parker to succeed A. w. Bryant, who
resigned some months ago, entered
upon the discharge of her duties
this week. Mrs. Brown is in every
way qualified for the office, having
lbly filled the position of deputy
oostmistress under a previous regime
20 the entire satisfaction of the pa
irons of that Office
James Gillen, who acted as "de-
iacto' postmaster pending the filling
Of the vacancy by Uncle Sam, full
Allied the duties of that office very
,apably and the patrons have no kick
coming apropos of his stewardship. IN
TACT, James is a gentleman of envi-
able versatility, capable in any
emergency, discharging his duties
with equal aptitude whether they be
those of bank director, potmaster,
grocery clerk or muleteer-it's all the
same to him. Whether or not he
could even bust bronchos is a ques-
ton, but while he might not have
been put to the test of holding his
physical balance on the hurricane
deck Of bucking broncho, he is now
holding his mental equilibrium
against the conduct of 'bucking"
gasoline engine at his water works,
and that is ten times worse and more
of it.
