^ "-j\ i County Food Administrator Joseph Rosier ^received the following statement from Col. Oglebaj-. State Administrator. concerning recent food conserration orders today: Each miller shall distribute bis outSv" Twit- not cntH to fhA fiAVAramftnt. so. fthat each of his regular customers re- i , ceives his fair share thereof, He shall1 seek no new customers. He shall sell 1 no customers more than 70 per cent | of his purchases in the corresponding' quarter of 1917. He must see that bakers buy one pound of substitutes for four pounds of dour, that dealers and consumers buy one pound of ilou: substitutes for every pound of flour purchased- Substitutes allowed are j hominy, com grits, corumeal. corn; flour, edbile corn starch, -bareley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour,) buckwheat flour, potato flour, sweet; potato flour, soya bean flour, feter'ta j flour and meal. ' Purchaser may buy < substitutes with the flour or present! 5 ' bills showing he has bought substl-; rates elsewhere. Some rules govern j wholesalers of flour. Retailer must distribute flour he re- j ceived as equitably as possible among ! his regular customers. He should see: that .no one gets above 70 per cent | of his normal amount. In towns soil i not more than one quarter barrel, jp j country not more than one halt" bavrei; t to any one lamuy. ju an rases tgnsumers must buy one pound of sub- j gf - ' stitutes tor each pound of flour j jfctbought. On -written request, for good cause, j M_- your Food Administrator for youi i county, may grant written exception to ! these rules. Any one violating these! rules without written consent of the! gr-T - Food Administrator is subject to the! penalties of the Food Administration i law. Thirty per cent of the wheat has i }Ky been taken by our Government to feed i our Army and to prevent our allies i from, starving. We must live till the J next harvest on the 70 per cent remaining. To secure its fair distribution the above rules have been carefully devised by the Federal Food Administration. In an interview at Wheeling last night Col. Oglebay stated further; that among other interesting facts IOrougQl out ill coauevctuu mux iuc. regulation and control of flour distribution was a sentiment that some grocers had not fully awakened to their responsibilities in relation to our national emergency. These are times for plain state-, meats and plain dealing, said Colonel' Ogiebay. Such ignorance and miscon-j ception as actually exist must not on-| - ly be corrected at once, but. the moth- j ods of employed in handling them' must originate with the groceries! themselves. I cannot but believe that J any failures arise from lack of un-! derstanding or misconception, and can easily be corrected by making clear to delinquents the duty they owe their country, their industry and themselves. , In any event practices not in accord with the spirit and of regulation and equality of participation, to which the grocery association has pledged its honor and support, must be stamped out. It becomes the duty of every j loyal grocer where such cases are j known, to exert his best efforts to ef-! feet correction through a personal ap-. * a 5** thie trt ronnrt TO < IP^ai, duu in kuio, fcv . ? . the proper authorities. Every grocer i should feel the call of patriotic duty j to prevent abuses. If there exists a man among the. grocers of the United States as mean ' as to place commercialism above hi* patriotism. he deserves no place in -he ! ranks of the loyal army of American j grocers. Whether done intentionally j 'or not, he is aiding the enemy. Lelj us .smoke him out and drum him from ' the ranks. Certainly, it is not fair: that he should remain and work in-! Jury to those grocers who have re tnalned steadfast to the cause, even ! under trying conditions made more seTere by reason "of the unpatriotic sel- j Ishness of a few. In these days when food is the vital I element in the -world scheme, when | S-; " onr very existence depends upon it . R"- and thousands elsewhere are dying! from lack ot it. Food is measured not i tK ; . by its customary nomenclature, but in terms of human life, and should not! be made the subject of commercial- j The initiative commercialism so ?s<"- long Inherent in the American grccer . by reason of great competition within his industry must no longer be exerted in efforts to surmount apparent obI HORSES # WANTED .

The grocers, I feel confident, appreciate that such changes as has been effected within the industry, ' whereby they are temporarily deprived of certain customary trade privileges, should be looked upon as mea- , sures of self-protection and not in the light of sacrifice. -The man who goes to the front and gives his life is the only one who makes the supreme sacrifice. He does this that the nation may persist and jhat all of us may continue to enjoy freedom, peace and prosperity. We are only doing what we can to make effective his efforts that we may be protected In the midst of what we may sometimes consider hardships, when things seem not quite fair, when apparently inequalities are being effected, let the significance of this self-protective patriotism exemplify itself in our action, and the vision of the man out there, his hardships, his privations, and his sacrifice make our own fade into nothingness. Colonel Oglebay was long In the grocery business himself. His intimate acquaintance with the grocers of West Virginia gives him confidence that they will remain stcafast, taking an inordinate pride in the successful regulation and control of the trade which has been entrusted to their care.
