The United States Food Adminis
tration has issued the following
rules and regulations which are in
immediate effect: y
Farmers who exchange wheat for
flour at the mill are permitted un
der the new rules and regulations of
the United States Food Administra
tion to secure at one time not to ex
ceed a thirty-day's supply but not
more than one barrel. When farm
ers exchange wheat for flour they
are not required to purchase substi
tutes, or sign a certificate that they
have substitutes on band In special
cases and for extraordinary reasons
the County Food Administrator may
permit farmers living a great dis
tance from the railroad to secure as
much as one barrel of flour at one
time. Farmers purchasing flour at'
the mill 'or of a dealer are subject to
the same regulations as other purchasers.
A strike of 600 caulkers in the
Baltimore shipyards, delays ship
building just that much. This time
the workers demand $10.56 per day.
There should be reason in all thiDgs
but this demand is about as far
from reason and justice as one
oould imagine.
A good many potatoes have al
ready been planted but what we
need is a good rain. Very little
rain hasjfallen here in the past six
months. ' '' ,
'Unfortunate Habits."
The fact that Vincent Kerens is
an officer in the United States air
service in France, which he entered
after taking a private course at his
own expense, is urged as a reason
why the son of a former Ambass
dor to Austria-Hungary should no
longer be deprived of the control of
his inheritance, amounting to about
$1,500,000. -Testimony
in the case shows that
the elder Kerens changed his will
se veral times, finally leaving Vin
cent's share in charge of a trustee
with instructions to pay him $500 a
month, because of his "unfortunate
uabits "
YoungtKerens is one of many,
Doth in this country and Europe, to
whom the war has given an op
portunity to prove their worth.
Some who were in disgrace and
even with criminal records have
been able to "beat back" and win
imperishable glory. Many afflicted
with the same "unfortunate habits"
as this heir have shaken them off
in the face of danger and under the
stimulus of patriotic duty.
The courts will, of course, con
strue the will in accordance with
the law, but those who knew Col.
Kerens can imagine what pride be
would have taken in knowing that
his son had by individual effort won
a Captain's commission in the most
perilous service of his country. Republic.

Say neighbor! Any of you old
substancial citizens who feel that
by virtue of the fact, that you have
always been true to your party and
never missed a chance to boost its
interests you should be entitled to
some state or county office; you
had better get busy. Pretty soon
