The demand upon us now reacnes 30 million bushels a month, and this must all be taken from the supply i we had saved tor our own consumption. Thus we are called upon to use not more than 70 per cent of our accustomed amount, and in tact we are called to buy one pound of substitute for each pound of flour we buy. A comparison of this sacritice ith that made by our boys in the trenches is small indeed, and we ought to meet it with a freedom which has characterized all demands made us by the government up to this time. Jefferson county is pledged to loyalty in this matter and ac are not going to prove siacxers. Hoarding is a violation of the law and is not to be tolerated under any form or circumstance.

Equal distribution withc ut hope ot the future must prevail. A modification of previous rules permits the sale of wheat flour to farmers to the extent of 70 per cent of their accustomed purcli it tney have and are using substitutes in the home. They are not required to buy pound for pound of substitutes. LJr J. R.

Trotter will be in Shepherdstown this coming Friday, February 15th, tor a conference on the subject of the food orders, and all interested are urged to be present at that time. J. D. MULDOON, Food Administrator tor Jefferson County. Just received a car-load of cotton-seed meal at our elevator.

His parents were advised by wire when his condition became critical, but before his father, who had left to be at his bedside, had gotten many miles he received a telegram th-it his son was dead.

He retraced his journey back home and the body followed some two weeks after, owing no doubt to the bad conditions ot the roads from heavy snow drifts and freeze outs.

Mr. are told in the Bible to "feed my sheep," but we find no command to "feed my dogs." It has become our fate to conserve food, and also to be careful of such, yet dogs are allowed to playthief and wilfully carry off what we are conserving.

Cannot this thieving be stopped Dogs are no pleasure or use. Besides, it is a crued wrong to have such an outrage on one's premises.

On the first of February they played Waynesboro High School. The first half of the game was very close, but the thought of taking home at least one victory spurred the girls on. In the second half Lucile Ewers shot four field goals, Olive Cooper coming up with three. When the timer called time the score was 18 to 5 in favor of S. C.

The second game was played on the Chambersburg High School floor. According to the old saying, "It's a poor team that can't win on its own floor' we had decided at the end of the first half that they were not a poor team. Itfell to our lot to lose, for at the end of the game the was 13 to 7 in favor of C. H. S.

New Organ For Opera House. Shepherdstown has had cause to be proud of the management of the moving picture business in this place ever since the opera house has b'-en in charge of C. S. Musser, its present proprietor, for the reason that he not only gets us the very best pictures that re produced, but gets them nave them here about as soon as they are shown in the larger cities. Mr.

Musser is now installing another feature that will add to the attractions of the opera is having a fine pipe organ set up, and if all goes well it will be used tor the first time next Monday night, when it will accompany another great picture, Mary Picktord in "The Little Princess." The organ is being installed by the M. P. Moller Company, of Hagerstown. It came in on the train this morning, with workmen to set it up, and they promise to have it ready by next Monday night. 1 he organ is not only a very excellent one in tone, but it has all the up-to-date action throughout; pipes controlled by tablets instead of the old-time stops; air furnished tor the wind chests by an electric Kinetic blower.

The organ will be built in the rear ot the stage, and the key-board will be in the pit at the front of the stage. The organ and the piano can be coupled together and played simultaneously, and the manual is also coupled to the pedals. This will make a striking eflect. 1 he organ will have the following stops and accessories: 8 ft. diapason.

8 ft. stopped diapason 8 ft. dulciana. 8 ft. vox celeste.

8 ft. violin. 8 it. vox humana. 8 ft stopped flute.

16 ft pedal bourdon. Chimes. i Tremolo. Song birds. i Thunder sheet.

Klaxon horn. Steamboat whistle. Door bell. Telephone bell. Sleigh bells.

Police whistle. Mr. Musser's progressive management, his eftorts to please the public and his good taste should be appreciated, for we know of no small town that can boast of so consistently acceptable pertormances as he gives us. The opera house should be crowded to its capacity next Monday night with those who will enjoy "The Little Princess" and the new pipe organ. Resolutions of Respect and Sympathy.

1 Daniei Brackett Newcomer, beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Newcomer, of Har- pcr's Ferry, honored and respected by all who knew him.

passed into the spirit life February 1, 1918, at Fort Sam Houston Texas. His love for and devotion to his country was made manifest when on December 6th, at the age of nineteen, he enlisted in the S. aviation service, full of patriotic en- thusiasm and manly determination to serve well the great cause for which our country is struggling, and while there seemed to be before him his greatest power and effi- cicncy, and with a serious warning of only a few days, he was summoned to nal life beyond," therefore be it Resolved, that we, the members of the Red Cross, Harper's Ferry Branch, to Mr. and Mrs. Newcomer and family our sincere sympathy in their deep affliction, and assure them of our earnest and united prayers that He Who loveth with a per- lect love, and doetli all things well, will comfort, sustain and guide them through this "valley of the that their noble son leaves an example worthy of our highest emulation and be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, and also be made a part of the records of the local Red Cross.

Mrs. E. A. Ewell, Mrs. Frank Butts, Mrs.

B. B. Branson, Committee. A Tribute To A Mother. On account of the unselfish love and de- 1 votlon necessary to the success of their profession, perhaps, teachers appreciate more fully than any other class of people the lovt.

and companionship of a mother. If this be true the fuller appreciation1 probably leads to a more it tense feeling of grief in the loss of a mother. Along with this consciousness of loss there comes, however, the blessed memory of a mother's resignation to an All-wise Father's will, so that even in death as in life the mother continues to belp in all our greatest needs. Knowing that one of our most devoted coworkers, Miss Louise Rightstine, has iust sustained an irreparable loss by the death of we, the Public School Teachers of Shepherdstown District, desire to hear witness to the beautiful and helpful life which this mother lived in her home and in the community and thus publicly to extend our sympathy to all the bereaved family and es- pecially to Miss Louise, who will miss most this devoted life. Resolved, That a copy of this simple mes sage of sympathy and appreciation of the dc- parted one be sent to Miss Rightstine and i that it also be given to the papers of the town for publication.

Katherine W. Riddle, Chairman. In Memoriam.

On Sunday evening, January 27, 1918, the soul of little Mary Lee, laughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer E. Hoyle, of Barnesville, took its flight to the kind Father who had oaned her to us for the brief period )f one year, eleven months and tweny days. Let no hopeless tears be shed, Holy is her narrow bed Death eternal life bestows, Dpen heaven's portal throws.

no peril waits at last, rler who now away hath passed, safely, safely gathered in. Free from sorrow, from sin. 3od hath saved from weary strife, its dawn this fresh young life, Sow it waits for us above, testing in the Saviour's love. fesus when this life is done, foin us to Thy little one, in thine own tender love, 3ring us to Thy ranks above.
