This is certainly nanifeating thai right spirit towards our government during these trying times. Arrangements have been mad witn the stores in Albany so that those I having an oversupply of flour on hand 1 can turn in their flour at these atorea and get In exchange groceries; and the dealer in turn will resell tha flour to his customers with tha necessary substitutes. This is by special ar rangement of the federal food eon- serration department for Oregon that the flour can be returned and handled in this way. Those having an over supply cannot themselves sell It or turn it over to their neignnors, ous dealers who are licensed can do this. The most critical time for our gov ernment to supply our army and our Hies with the necessary wheat ia be tween now and harvest; hence it is imnortant that those having on hand a supply of flour beyond a SO-daya' renujrement. should return it; and In I tv.t w. Mjt in conserving our wheat supply to our government. This arrangement on the part of tha local stores to take back tha oversup ply of flour from their customers will jno way affect their allotted supply under the food regulations during tha next three months, but In all eases the flour must be resold by tha dealer with the required amount of substi tutes.
