GILBERT ISSUES WARNING AGAINST FOOD HOARDERS

Several . Cases Discovered Where Sugar and Flour Was Hoarded. .

A warning against the hoarding of food was Issued Friday by County Food Administrator Gilbert following Information of several cases where nar or flour has been hoarded in

private homes. The. food administrator said, however, that the cases reported to him were not cases where the law gfovernJnK hoarding was wilfully disobeyed. A federal law governing the hoarding of food products during the period of the war became effective Jan. 28, 1918. 'There seems to be some people, however, the food administrator said, who do not yet know that they are allowed to have in their possession only a certain specified quantity of sugar or flour, and that it they have more than this quantity they are violating the federal law. Heretofore in cases of this kind discovered in Wayne county, the people havo been permitted voluntarily to return "their surplus, and their names have not been made public. In future, however, the food administrator said, if, any cases of wilful hoarding are discovered in Wayne county, the names of the people will be made public. "The people have had ample time to acquaint themselves with the condition of affairs," Administrator Gilbert said, "and they should certainly know by this time that hoarding of sugar or flour is a violation of the law. Therefore names of those who are found to be violating this law will hereafter be published, providing the food administration learns that the case is a wilful violation."

Hundreds of Barberry . Bashes are Destroyed

Hundreds of barberry bushes

throughout Wayne county have been

destroyed in compliance with a re

quest of the United States agricultu

ral department,, according to J. C. Kline, county agriculture agent. The government had requested that all

barberry bushes with the exception

of the Japanese variety which is not

injurious, be destroyed as they infect

the soil and kill wheat. ...

Kline said that there were several

barberry bushes still growing in x&-

rious parts of the county though it had

been requested that they all be exter

minated by May 15. Those who have not yet destroyed these bushes are

urged to attend to the matter at once

by the county agent.

MOTHERS DAY WILL BE OBSERVED HERE

Sunday is Mothers' J Day the day when every man. young and old, should write a letter to his mother, send her a message of love or send her flowers. Through a national organization of florists and greenhouses, the members of which are located in almost every city and town in the United States, it is made possible for a man to order flowers sent to his mother on Mothers' Day. All that he needs do is pay his local florist for the flowers, pay charges on the telegraphic order, and the flowers arc delivered to his mother by the florist in the town or city where his mother may reside. Mother's Day was originally established as a national event seven years ago, and it was the custom then for every man to wear a white carnation on that day In honor of his mother's name. It was soon learned, however, that there were far from enough white carnations to supply the demand. The custom then became effective to wear only a white carnation if the mother was dead, and a carnation of any color it she were still living. Now, however, the custom is not restricted to carnations alone, but any flower may be worn in mother's honor. White is the prevailing custom as yet, in case the mother is dead, whatever be the flower worn. Richmond churches will, observe Mothers' Day with appropriate special programs and services in her honor.
