Newspaper Page TextFlour Rules. All flour sales for the month of June must be made at once thru the same channels as last month. The Government is asking for Henry county to make available all the flour possible for the allies. It is planned for the merchants to supply most all of the 10.000,000 that Georgia is sending to the al lies at this time. However, Henry county has its part of 15,000 bar rels yet to arrange for shipping. Merchants who have a few barrels and not a car load can arrange to ship with some one close by. These should communicate with John E. Talmage, Jr., Athens, Ga. and arrange the shipping of a car load of flour. There has been some uneasi ness in the county concerning the surplus flour on hand. Every pound over the 6 lb. per month per person will be taken care of in due time. The farmers who have extra flour are requested to keep it clean and in a cool place and instructions will be given to take care of it in due time. Each one must remember that the allies must have flour thru the month of August and September until the next harvest gets into the channels. The Food Anministration is ask ing as many as possibly can with out affecting their health to use no more wheat products until next harvest is on the markets. It is hoped that many, many families will make this sacrifice in order that their part of flour may be shipped to some soldier who is fighting for a righteous cause. Pledges will be placed where the heads of families may sign them. It is truly hoped that Henry coun ty will volunteer and furnish eve ry pound of flour that it possibly can.
