SCHOOL EXHIBIT-
MAY-DAY FESTIVAL
Gala Day for Parents and School
Children Next Wednesday.
Every Parent Should Visit
Should Visit the School and
Inspect the Work Displayed.
The annual exhibit of school
work and a May-day festival will
take place at the school house
buildings next Wednesday after-
noon, May 1, beginning at four
o'clock. Everything is free and
a good attendance of patrons and
visitors is expected.
Each grade of the school will
vie with the others to have its
room looking the neatest and
brightest and with the best dis-
play of what they have bet*n
doing this year. Patrons will
pass from room to room after 4
o'clock and inspect this work.
The High School will use the
lower hall for their exhibit.
At 5:30 the May-day festival
begins on the tennis court near
the primary building. The pro-
gram consists of folk songs and
dances and patriotic exercises
given by the little folks of the
primary building.
All patrons are invited and
urged to come early in the after-
noon and visit the room where
their child happens to be and
hear some of the regular
work being done, and then sUy
for the exhibit and festival. Make
this "The School Day" of the
year.
is not the case, and we know
of pne family that has used wheat
flour and substitutes and have
used only about five pound*-.
They did not realize this until
the recent order came into fore* .
Many pounds ol flour has been
returned to the merchants. Now,
those who returned were not
slackers, but it has been their
usual custom to lay in a supp’.y
each year to carry them oyer
uutil after harvest. The slacker
is the man who got scared and
I feared there would he a scarcity
of flour when the order was given
to merchants to sell only ooe sack
to a customer. Perhaps there
were some then that purchased a
sack from different merchants in
order to protect themselves indi-
vidually. We don't believe theie
are any such slackers in this com-
munity. One farmer who bought
his year's supply last August
brought back 750 pounds, and iie
sold it back at a loss, too. Flour
was high last August. But he
did this act just as cheerful as if
he was making fifty dollars on
the sale.
The unpatriotic are unknown
so far ia the wheat flour order,
but should there be any they will
be found out and there is no
question but what the govern-
ment will see that they get their
punishment.
The question has been asked,
‘what about feeding hired help
during cotton chopping or har-
vest." To this we would say that
there fs no question but what the

Card System Satisfactory
The flour card is being received
b7 the penpl; with a spirit of
patriotism, many expressing a
willinguess to cut out wheat flour
entirely if the government or-
ders.
Upon inquiry by the deputv
food administrator of Mountain
View it is found that the people
taken as a whole have been ob-
serving the past orders of the
government as regards the use of
substitutes and figures prove that
an average of six pounds of flour
is about all families have been
using for some time. Few fami-
lies realized that six pounds was
all they were using and ii duraih
felt that the government order of
six pounds per person per month
was cutting tbc->r supply. Such
every one of you will be doing
soldier duty at home. Our boys
and the allies cannot win this
war without our help.
Rulings on Flour.
According to a ruling irom the
United States Food Administra-
tion at Washington, fanners who
haye on hand flour made irom
their own wheat can keep enough
to supply their needs until the
next harvest, the needs being ae-
begin working »or a great Chau-
tauqua success is right now.
