Inpostors and Fakers.
Rumors have been reaching
the County Food Administrator
that men are going thru some
sections of the country represent
ing themselves to be food inspec
tors, and demanding the right to
go thru the store rooms of farm
ers. The. county food adminis
trator is not able to say whether
such impostors, and fakers have
actually been at work in this
and adjoinig counties, or wheth
er some persons with but little
brains and les patriotism have
deliberately circulated these lies.
But in either case our people are
warned against the man who
comes to your place and repre
sent himself to be a food inspect
or and seeks admission to your
house and cellar. If you are ap
proached by such a person notify
the nearest home defense police
and get in touch with the county
food administrator. Don't give
any one any information about
your belongings until you are
convinced that he is a person en
titled to know. Don't listen to
these wild cat rumors that the
hirelings of the Kaiser are cir
culating. When some one tells
you of some drastic rule that has
been put into effect, demand of
him his authority for such re
port. If he cannot give you good
and sufficient authority, don't
believe the story; don't tell it to
vour neighbor; but tell your in
former that he had better be
careful about circulating reports
that he cannot substantiate.
These are strenuous times; we
are at war; and in order to win
the war, we will have to undergo
hardship and submit to rules tnd
regulations that may cause us in
convenience and suffering. Buv
let our people be calm and patri
otic, and not be carried away in
to a passion over lies that are
being circulated. Food rule3
are not made without good
reasons.; and when they are
made, let us all be willing to sub
mit to, and obey, them, realizing
that in so doing we are helping
to bring this war to a victorious
end for the United States.

Food Administrator.

No Change io. Wheat.
Farmers and others who have
been holding wheat in the hope
that the price for the 1918 crop
would be placed at a higher fig
ure than for last year's crop, may
now market their crop and thus
help relieve the strain of the food
situation. President Wilson on
Monday fixed the price for the
1918 crop at the same figure as
last year.
For No. 1 northern wheat in
Chicago $2 20 a bushel is paid.
Seven cents a bushel is added for
freight to the seaboard, making
it $2 27 at tidewater. The wheat
raised in this section is No. 2 soft
red, for which our local dealers
will pay $2.08.
