i the way of city government The

corporations and other outside innu
ences. Ihe gas company helped elect
them and that is why they will not
oppose the gas company. How many
of you want to help us fight the sras
company and the street railway com
pany? You who favor an increase of
street car fare, go to the polls next
Tuesday and vote for the city hall
ticket, but if you favor a 5-cent fare,

been working a claim in the moun

Today he made up for lost time
by buying thrift stamps and war

After hearing many tales about

turn to it after he invests all his

New Demand Increases Quan

ministration for American ;
Troops and Allies.
"" ' i .
Demands for flour by the allies and
American troops in France have be
came so great the United States food
administration has called on all mills
to supply 50 per cent of their current
output fpr war uses.
Notice to this effect came yester
day to Gurdon W. Wattles, federal
food administrator for Nebraska.
The new order differs from former
restrictions, in that it requires mills to
furnih 50 percent. In previous orders
for lesser amounts, mills have been
asked to supply certain quantities, but
the response has been left optional
with the mill.
May Requisition Increased.,
When the May requisition was
made, millers were asked to supply
40 per cent, which was 10 per cent
in excess of previous requests. Con
sideration is given theformer order,
which is modified to the effct that if
the mill had not responded with an
order of at least 50 per cent, it should
immediately make a new offer to
bring the quota up to 50 per cent
Offers in excess of 50 per cent will
be accepted, the, administration say
ing that such offers display the spirit
of patriotic services.
Entire Output Acceptable.
The milling division has announced
that it will accept the entire output
of any mill. Offers of this character
should be made direct to the south
western milling division.Kansas City,
Mr. Wattles stated.
"This order only emphasizes the
crying need for more flour," Ad
ministrator Wattles said. "We are
asked, to supply this flour and we
must do it at all costs. We .must
limit our own consumption to the
least possible amount. We should
eliminate wheat flour entirely from
our diet. We can supply only what
we do not eat until next harvest."

If you remember, you pulled seventeen bad roots and teeth

Doctor, if you wish to use my name, or have any one who ia
interested in "Dental" work, give them my address.
