Local Food Administrator John R. Jackson calls the attention of flour dealers, and the public, to the ruling of the United States Food Administration which pro hibits dealers in towns or cities from selling more than 24 pounds of wheat flour, and dealers in rural communities more than 48 pounds, at one time to individual consumers. This does not mean that a consumer can purchase one or two sacks of flour, as the case may be. walk out of one store in to another and purchase the Bame amount This ruling wa9 made to prevent hoarding of flour. Consumers should have on hand only sufficent flour for their own immediate needs. Those having more than a reasonable amount are violating the Hoard ing Act. Flour can only be pur chased in equal quanities with wheat substitutes as mentioned in other notices. Mew Red Cross Members.

Today it costs $4.13 to buy a five-dollar savings stamp a ba by bond and that rate will con tinue until the end of February. It is only a cent more than in Jan uary, which few will miss, but a cent will be aided every month during the remainder of the year. If you do not own one of these little bonds of the government you are doing yourself an injus tice. You may buy one outright or obtain it by accumulating six teen thrift 8 tamps at 25 cents each. But do your bit by invest ing something for yourself and children. Five years hence these little bonds will be redeemed in cash with four per cent Com pound interest Your children will be better Americans if they become interested in this plan of saving. Soldiers' War Insurance. Attention is again called to the fact that unless the time is ex tended, the soldier boys and their dependents will soon be unable to secure government war insur ance. This insurance is the cheapest in the world, and is designed to take the place of the pensions formerly paid by the government Very few applica tions have been made by Fulton County people for this invest ment and but two women have applied for government aid in connection with their soldier hus band's pay; at least through the undersigned. Neighbors will kindly assist soldiers' dependents in these matters. W. C. Patterson, Chairman Civilian Relief Com! Knitting. Kindly have every possible piece of knitting delivered to Miss Ruth I.
