the cold weather came a little too
soon for the corn to mature, with
the consequence that there is
much soft corn.
Mrs. Nora Ferrenberg Zorn,
Gibsonburg.O., February 8th. "I
am always glad to get the News
from my bid home town. We are
having very cold weather and
much snow. In some places the

height, making bob sledding the
popular way of traveling, much
to the delight of the children.
Ohio, like many other places, is
feeling the effects of the coal

up to this time, has not been en

Food At'miuiilra'.or Explains.
For the information of dealers
i i, and consumers of, wheat flour
t'le Food Adminstrator for the
County explains the rule gov-
i i ning the sale of flnur as follows:
The consumer must purchase
from the wholesaler or retailer of
(bur the same number of pounds
of substitutes as of flour, and,
at the same time. The consumer
cannot buy. wheat flour under any
conditions, without buying the
same number of pounds of the
pubstitues. The retail dealer
must buy in the same propor
tions in which he sells; but, if he
has a supply of substitutes in
stock in excess of the wheat flour
he has, he can buy wheat flour
equal in amount to that excess.
He must first file an affidavit with
the miller or wholesaler, in which
he states the amount of substi
tutes on hand in excess of his
wheat flour Bupply. This privi
lege is not extended to the con
sumer who buys either from
a miller or a retailer. IftheGov
erment could reculate the pro
portions in which the consumer
and Italian, Allies standing today
in the trenches fighting the Ger
mans, can be fed and kept fight
ing, or wonld we prefer to take
the place of our Allies in the
trenches, who will not be able to
fight unless we save the wheat

THE UNIVERSAL CAR.
Your FORD While
Getting is Good.
We are issuing this notice to intending buyers that
they may protect themselves against delay or disap
pointment in securing a FORD CAR. Delay in placing
your order at this time may cause you to wait several
months when you want a FORD.
The unusual winter demand for FORD CARS
makes it necessary for us to confine the distribution
of cars only to those agents who have orders for imme
diate delivery rather than permit any agent to stock cars
in anticipation of later spring sales. If, therefore, you
are planning to purchase a FOttD CAR we advise you
to place your order to-day with our authorized FORD
agent listed below and don't be disappointed later on.
Immediate orders will have prompt attention.
