FOOD ORDERS
Are COMING IN
ATPOSTOFFICE
Clubbing Plan Suggested for
Those Who Desire to Take
Advantage OF the Sale.
MUST ORDER EARLY
Supply is Limited and Orders
Should be Placed at Once.

Orders for food supplies from the
surplus army stores are coming IN at
the local post-office in ever increas-
ing volume. and customers who de
sire to avail themselves Of this OPP
portunity should place their orders
promptly. as the supply is limited.
The first report that limit Of l25
pounds would be placed upon the pur
chases by any one Individual was er-
roneous, and persons may order a
much as they desire, providing It Is
TO be used for home consumption and
not for resale. The post-masters are
obliged to make their acquisitions ~
case lots, and II has been suggested
that those consumers who cannot use
supplies in that quantity form pur-
chasing clubs, and the cases Of sup
plies can be distributed among them
upon receipt. In this way they could
take advantage Of the low prices and
at the same time send in case lot or
ders. Several families by combining
i'm this way could use one or more
cases Of practically any commodity
being offered.
The supplies are being depleted
fast in the large centers Of popula-
ton, and if the people Of the smaller
towns and cities desire to profit by
the move of the war department they
will have to act promptly. Following
