more for the boys in the trenches,
and for our Allies abroad. In mum

so great that they find themselves
now with more than sufficient flour
on hand to carry them through to
the next harvest, and they are do
mating this flour to the United States
for export Anyone who is willing
to donate -four for this purpose
should communicate at once with the
Federal Food Administrator, 700
Equitable Building, Baltimore, Md.
Flour so given will be placed in
storage and immediate release made
of other flour of an equal amount
for export.
Persons who have an excess sup
ply of flour, but do not feel able to
contribute it, may turn this flour in
to the Government at the current
wholesale mill prices, less cost OF
trans portation to Baltimore, and will
be reimbursed by the Government
for the -four so surrendered. All Of
fers of flour under this proposition
should be made to the Federal Food

The Splendid Hotels
Atlantic City never wearies of talking
Of its hotels. There is nothing else
that so thoroughly expresses the pro-
gressive spirit of one of the most char
acteristically American cities in the
land. They started as modest boarding
houses and grew as the necessity for
quarters expanded. Everything else fol-
lowed the lead of those who realized
that adequate housing is the first essen
tial Of a city of pleasure. In many
respects the hotels are ahead of the
city. for the heavy demands involved
in supplying the fundamental essentials
have not yet made it possible for the
resort to undertake the ornamental de-
velopment which some day will trans
form the Boardwalk into a magnificent
esplanade and so enhance the town as
a whole that its founders never would
know the metropolis on The sands

The Marlborough-Blenhei came into

facilities for conventions.

Old Glory Again Flies
Above the SchooIhouse

Randolph, Mass.-The Ameri-

Prescott school. 1t took a court
order to get the flag back In
place. Some weeks ago the
halyards broke. The selectmen,
who are also the school commit
tee. took no steps to have them
repaired. William E. Spear. a
red-0looded patriot. demanded
the flag be flown. He was met
with a smile, but no action. He
got the selectmen hailed into
court. The court ordered the
flag flown at once in accordance
with a state law ordering all
schools to fly an American flag.
