besides, the pleasant jingle of the

of a letter from'the head of the
government food administration at
Portland, saying that graham flour
will very likely be required from

one. This is taken to indicate that
in view of the scarcity of wheat,
the government intends that as
much of the terry as possible be
utilized in (lour production.
Milton Eagle: Some person or
IK-rsons who evidently tried to see
how many places could Ik- broken
into in one night, made a raid in

entrance to Seawell's grocery, the

the Andy Johnson grocery in Free

al the Freewater store, where the
sum of $14.20 was secured from the

Imt he did not want to sell, hav
ing in mind, perhaps, the excess
war profits tax.
