MRMERS MAY GRIND RULL YEAR'S SUPPLY Food Administration Rules Governing Grinding of Home-Grown Wheat Modified--Flour May Be Sold Under Certain Conditons, Columbia.--Under modified regula tions of the Food Administration tarmers are now permitted to grind a full year's supply of flour from home. grown wheat. Millers throughout South Carolina have been authorized by the Food Administration to grind, from wheat made by farmers, enough flour to supply their families and their ten. ante for 12 months. This amount must, however, be based upon a cal culation of 12 pounds per month per person. Although using flour ground from home-grown wheat, farmers are ex pected by the Food Administration to nevertheless observe strictly the fifty-fifty rule and to use flour substi tutes, pound for pound, with the flour they have ground. The fact that they have produced their own wrheat does not release then from this obligation. They are also expected to see to it that their tenants, furnished by them, use flour substitutes on the fifty-fifty basis. Farmers who grow wheat may sell flour to their neighbors who perhaps have not, but in such cases they will be required, under the rules of the Food Administration, to sell an equal amount of flour substitutes, the same as a merchant, or take miller's car tificates from the purchaser showing that the purchaser has had flour sub stitutes ground to cover the flour bought, pound for pound. Farmers may sell flour, from their wheat, to merchants, but when merchants re sell this flcur it must be sold, pound for pound, with flour substitutes, to the persons who buy it. These regulations apply to thresh ermen as well as to :armers. LICENSES ARE REQUIRED TO DEAL IN POULTRY Columbia.-Country or cross-road storekeepers who buy eggs and some times poultry from the farmers, for selling again, are required, under the proclamation of President Wilson of May 14th, to obtain licenses from the Food Administration. The fact thatI most country stores are in the re tail business on a very small scale does not alter the case, but as a rule these storekeepers have not consider ed themselves liable. The President's proclamation required the licensing of all those engaged in certain lines of business, including "operators of poultry and egg packing plants not al ready licensed under the United states Food Administration." Under this classification, anyone who sells poultry or eggs in any way than at retail to the consumer, regardless of the amount of business done, must be licensed. In order to comply with the -law all country stoe buying eggs and poultry from farmers must fill out blanks obtained from the United dmilniistration, and have - i to them. WH E MUST SAVE FOOD The United States the 'Last Reservoir of Men, of Ships -and of Feed to Save World CIvIlizatIon. By Herbert Hoover. "if you could stand in the middle of J.Curope today and survey the land to it hn-i'-~' you would discover its tion of 400,000,000 human of food. Millions of pee dI, Finland, .Serbia, Ar assia are dying of starva -rn mu oer millions are suffering from too little food. Our Ales and the neutrals are living on the barest margins that will support life and strength. "This, the most appalling and dread .fttl thing that has come to humanity since the dawn of civilization, is to me the outstanding creation of Ge P man militarism. The Germans them selves are not the west sufferers. They are extorting at the cannon's mouth the harvests and cattle of the Deople they have overrun, leaving them in desola-| tion. If the war were to' cease to morrow, the toll of actual dread from starvation and its attendant diseases within the German lines would double er treble the 6,000,000 or 6,000,000 of men who have been actually killed by Germany end her allies in arfms. The 10,000,000 people in occupied Belgium and Northern France would have died of starv'ation had it not been lo us and the Allies. "We must..build our food resources to stand 'ready for any denmaAs upon us by the Allies. It is of-no purpose to us to send millions of our best to France If 'we fall to maintain strength of their men, weenen and children on our Hues of communication. The Uni ted States is the last reservoir of *men', the last reservoir of ships, the last reservoir of munitions and the last reservoir of food upon whitoh the Allied 'World musnt depend if Germany is. to be defemeud aand if we are t0 be free men'" Statement of Money Expended Through the Supervisor's Office for Month of June, 1918 Amount of money on hand June 1st ---------------..------- .----$13 799 19 EXPENDITURES H A Townes auditor -------------------------------------------- 36 11 L L Barr, supplies--.....----------------------------------------- 5 81 Barr Bros., supplies -..--- ----------------------------.- --- 35 01 Austin Bros, supplies----------- - - - - ---- - - 343 62 MC Daves, scrape hand ---------------------------------------- 30 00 Geo Williams, scrape hand ---------------------------------- - -7 00 Earl Chastain, scrape hand --------------------------------------- 18 00 Ray Lynch. scrape foreman, etc. ---------------------------------- 63 50 J B laves, scrape hand----------------------------------------- 16 00 S D Hudson, scrape hand ------------------------------------- --- 10 00 Grover Childs, bridge work ---------------------- - - -.- 4 00 C W Sizemore, bridge work-------------------------- ----- 00 L S Edens, magistrate------------------------------------- ------ 12 50 John T Foster, constable---.---------------------------- ....... 8 60 Mary Rowland, aid to poor----------------------------------------- 3 00 Chas Sanders, aid old soldier--------------------------------------- 3 00 S W Howard, aid old soldier--------------------- ------------....__ 3 00 J W Connelly, aid old soldier.----------------------..-.-.-. - 3 00 W S Gantt, magistrate ------------------------------------------- 15 00 J T Hendrix, scrape hand----------------------------. --------- 35 00 Clint Hunnicutt, scrape hand--.--------....... ---------... . -- 15 00 Clint Keyton, scrape hand ---------------------------------------- 12 91 E Madden, scrape hand---..---------------------------------------- 2 50 J M Lawrence, corn, etc ---------------.------- ----------------- 48 82 Rebecca Reeves, aid to poor -------------------------------------- 6 00 L K Couch, supplies ----------------------------- 14 30 W H Johnson, bridge work-----------.----....--- -------._ 24 90 Finley & Whitmire, supplies -----. ----------------------------- 453 84 T B Nally, lumber- ---------------------------------------- .. 17 66 S E Watson, road work---------------------------------------_--- 22 40 Boss Anders, scrape hand---------------- -------------- 12 00 J H Riggins, bridge work.----------------------------------------- 3 22 J T Skelton, bridge work ------------------.------------.- 3 00 G W Bowen, commissioner and scrape hand - ------------ ------ 99 91 J O Stewart, scrape hand-------------------------------------------. 22 00 W H Williams, bridge work---------------------------------- 6 00 R J Hughes, bridge work--------------------------------------- 4 00 Dr W M Long, autopsy and medical services------------------------ 126 00 J T McKinney, rural police -------------------------------------. 90 00 J S Miller, supplies ------------------------------------ ----------- 34 40 G W Allen, supplies ---------------------------------------- ----- --- 1 75 Mrs Lula Lesley, su;plies----------------------------------------- 3 40 Grover Hunt, supp'"s----------------------------------------. 9 24 J C Alexander, sudies...-.....-------------------- ----------------- 10 00 J S Sargent, oflice .upplies -------------------------- -- - 3 93 T S Sammons, roal work ------------------------- ------- ---14 05 R S Porter, road work.-------- -. --8------------- 25 W E Boggs, bridge work ---------------------------------- 6 00 Earl Chastain, scrape man----------------------------- - - - 2 00 Eyer & Co, interest on note----- - --- - - ---------- ------ 88 96 Texas Co, oil and gasoline .--- - ------- 126 46 J L Cantrell, road work ------------------------------------------- 7 75 E 4 Porter, road work..----------------------------------- 4 70 Obie Mansell, janitor -------------------------------------- 20 00 Tom Bates, bridgework--------------------------------------- - -- 8 00 Pickens Drug Co, supplies---------------------------------------- 3465 J P Whitmire, road work .--..----------------------------- -- --2 00 Elisha Youngblood, work at poor farm ---------------- --- --- 2 00 H E Miller, supplies------------------------------------------- - 11 85 WJBoggs, roadwork-------------------- --------------2200 F C Brown, road and bridge work------------ ------ ----- -24 55 B B LaBoon, rural police ------------------------------------------ 90 00 J M Porter, bridge work .....-.------------------------------------ 6 50 G E Williams, scrape man--.. -------------------- ------- --- 7 00 J A Roper, scrape man - .---------------.. 5 00 J B Daves;
