To Dealers and Consumers.
An appeal has been made by the United States Government to its patriotic
citizens to place at the disposal of the Government as much wheat flour as
possible that it or its equivelent in volume may at once be shipped to our
Troops abroad and the Allies. Whatever amount of flour is now so contrib
uted in Wisconsin enables an equal amount to be released for foreign ship
ment. ’ '
There are a large number of loyal American Citizens who will be pleased
to avail themselves of this opportunity to return all surplus or excess sup
plies of flour they may now have. Many will gladly make sacrifices. in mak
ing such returns.
There ' are unfortunately others who must be reminded that there is a
specific Federal Law against ‘“‘HOARDING’’ which provides a penalty of
$50,000.00 fine or two years imprisonment or both for Hoarders (Those who
have more than their needs according to the above statement.)
A FINAL OPPORTUNITY is now given to such persons to surrender
their surplus supply of flour and thus protect themselves, against the possib
ility of prosecution in the Federal Court. But we know that the feeling of
our people is such that they will respond without drastic action. At this
moment, our boys, our sons and relatives—are fighting with their backs
against the wall, against the invading German hordes. The French people
and the French armies have had their rations cut down to the bone and
even our boys during this struggle now going on are in danger of being out
of food if we do not respond to the call or our government.
Every person who has a supply of flour to return is requested to write to
the County food administrator stating the amount of flour and the brand,
and he will arrange to have the flour taken by some of the merchants.
Please remember that every pound of flour that is returned or its equival
ent, will actually be sent to our soldiers at the front. and that the amount
of flour received by our merchants and redistributed by him will be deducted
from his normal allowance, that is his normal allowance will be reduced just
in porportion to the amount turned over to him. _
The statement that FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR was never truer than
today.
