Tho most stringent order yet Issued
by tho food administrator became ef
fective yesterday. Under this ordor If
Tho grocer orders a ton of flour from
tho miller ho must at tho satno time
purchase an equal amount of sub
stltutcs corn meal, ryo Hour or
graham flour. Tho same order applies
to tho man who orders a sack or Hour
of his grocer; ho must buy tho sane
weight of corn, ryo or graham. In
othor words tho administrator says
that for every ipound of flour you ubo
you must use one pound of n sub
stltuto for flour. If you don't llko corn
meal, ryo or graham flour, you v111
need to learn to llko It, for this ordor
will probably stand during tho period
of tho war.
Tho order may seem drastic, but It
is necessary, and It Is tho duty of all
to accept it graciously and without
groumbllng. And don't complain if
tho government compels you to do
lot of other things not Just to your
liking. Tho government has tho power
to draft men Into tho army; it has tho
right to draft tho rest of us into an
army of food conservators. If lt3

It jh good.

Sow Sale
Poland China Brood
Imuned by double treatment.
4 miles west of Lexington, Neb.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8th.
We have the most valuable lot of bred sows in this offering it has ever been our fortune to
get together at one time. I feel safe in saying they are the largest and smoothest offering of Poland
Chinas ever put up at Lexington. We were exceptionally lucky in getting them bred to three vig
orous sires. All but four of the 65 sows bred will carry own guarantee. The 8 tried sows ore bred
to our 800 lb Gibbon's Hercules and six spring gilts by Wonder Lust averaging about 400 lbs are bred
to this rare individual. While the 9 yearling fall sows sired by Gibbon's Hercules each raised a
large litter this fall, yet will tip the 400 notch, and three spring litters are bred to the fall yearling
sired by Robin Hood. The other jpring gilts are bred to Mischief Maker, a spring pig with four of the
best pins under him shoulders, hams, back and head not second even by his great sire, Big Orange 1st.
