George Wallace Very Low
Former Aaaemblman Has Sinking Spell, But Rallies Somewhat
The condition of former Assembly¬ man George Wallace, who was strick¬ en with paralysis iast Friday, is still aerious. He had a sinking spell early Wednesday evening, and members of kis family were called to the houae.
Mr. Wallace suffered a slight stroke some time ago, and was advised by kis physician to give up his law work. He preferred activity, however, and last week went to Albany to argue a oase in the Court of Appeals. The strain has evidently too great and he was stricken shortly after returning kome.
Oysters Again Coming In
For the flrst time since December 29, wben the last l>08t left and did aot retum until this week, oyst^ss are now being brought up th9,,!^Fl^e- port Creek. During the sever^weath- er in late December, ^the icer*froze so ihick that attempts to break a pass-
VMfe to the oyster grounds have not Mfen-^iuccessful, as the boats would get part way to the grounds on a mild day, only to have the weather sudden¬ ly become colder overnight, and all their efforts wasted, and it was not nntil this week that they succeeded, aft^r several attempts, in breaking
. through. What few oysters have been received in this section since that time were landed at the end of Woodcleft Channel, where the chan¬ nel, being wider, opened up quicker, and were brought to the oyster hous¬ es by teams.
Offers Coal for Destitute
In a letter to Capt. James Hanse Stephen P. Pettit writoa from West Palm Beach, Florida:
The climate is so delightful that we are in bathing every day. I think j have only missed about three days since I have been here and I am feei¬ ng gfeat.
Now Captain I have two cars of eoal that I have had ordered for some time and Frank Hombeek has written me that he has received the bill of lading. I would like very rauch to ke^ one of theae eara, aa my bailding will require that amount to get through, but if there ia any great ¦faortago I want you to take charge of one car and both if necessary and distribute it among the people of Freoport at the coit price. I don't know what tho ooat is, but Frank will have tho bill and yea ean get it from him.
I also want to odngratnlate you for the way yoa havo handlad tka situa- tim. I hav* baan reading about you in the papers.
Home Defense to Meet
A moetittg of tho Freoport Unit, Home Dol^nao Reserves, nias boen called for next Tuaday evening at the (irove Streot School when there win ba an inspection of equipment.
In a clash with the Germans Lien¬ tenant C. B. Johnson, a Fraeport boy, has not only given a good accoont of himself, but Sn all probability suc¬ ceeded in reducing the German forces to the extent ^ least of one man. As a trophy of the fray he sends his mother the victim's soldier bolt well spattered with blood.
On Monday Mrs. A. S. JolinaOn of I^orth Main Street, received a letter from her son, Liuetenant Johnaon, who is 'somewhere over there," which verifies the reports that the Ameri¬ can Army is in the thickest of the fray. Lientenant Johnaon, who waa a telephone engineer before ho was eom- misfiioned, is stationed in the ofllice of the Chief of the Signal Corps, Head¬ quarters of the American Expedition¬ ary Forces^
The belt is made of stout harness leather nearly two inches wide. The size of the girth would indioate that it was at one time intended for a full stomach, but the wearer had evidently "reduced" considerably, as there are extra boles in it. Inside in large capi¬ tal letters is the name, Hans Schegel- man.
"It happened at midnight and you can see by the blood marks on it thai we had a terrible struggle. More than that I am not able to tell you now." This letter from Lieutenant Johnson was written January 16, and paaaed the censor without any erasures.
The belt is on exhibition at Smith A Bedell's drug store.
miAGE TRUSTEES
At the regular meeting of the Vil¬ lage Board of Trustees last Thurs¬ day the date for registration for vil¬ lage election (which vrill be held on March 19) was set for Saturday, March 9, from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.
Chief John J. Randall, jr., of the fire department submitted a complete report of inspections, as required by law of local hotels three stpries high.
A communication was received from the fire department asking for in- Btallation of additional i fire gongs. This was held over till the next meet¬ ing and C. A. Rider of the Telephone Company ia to be invited to appear before the Board and explain the proposition regarding fire alarms sub¬ mitted by him and tumed down by the Fire Council, before action is taken on the recommendation of the Council.
Village Treasurer S. Dimon Smith appeared in answer to a resolution of the Board asking him to take steps to collect arrearages of taxes. He thought this was an enormous amount of work for him to do as a part of his regular work. He' said he had, how¬ ever, given the matter considerable consideration, and was convinced iliat the only thing to be done was to sell the property at a tax sale. There are pieces, he said, which have been run¬ ning for from 10 to 16 years, and a great many 7 or 8 years, and tbe vil¬ lage will never realize any profit un¬ til the property is sold. Tliis was laid over for a future meeting.

We Must Save in Order to Win
Office of the Deputy Federal Food Almiiustrator . for Nassaa Coutf, Oyster Bay, Neir York
The retail dealers in the County and Btate, with bat few exeeptioBS, are showiug their patriotism by working with tlie.Pood Administrator and uot only obeying the law and enforcing all rule* An<l^r^ulation8, but reporting all vioh^tions to the local Adiainistratorfl that come within their notice. ^
.Wholesalers of food, certain retaSors tukd bakers using oves-three (3) barrels of flour par ttMOth must obtain licenses in order to continue thefH^'bttiirtneBS.
Retailers mnst affix signs to eertaia foo^ designat¬ ing grade and price thereof as provided by the rule of the New York State Food CommissiOii.
WHEAT
In order to supply the Allies withtMii' require¬ ments before the next harvest the American people must save from 75,000,000 to 90,000,000 bushels of wheat. This wheat can be obtained in no other way and the Allies are dependent on the self-denial of the American people in obtaining it. Our present ability to supply them with meat is due to our savii\^, and it has been done without'hardship. Let us handle the wheat situa¬ tion in the same way. To accomplish this result we must nse more of the other cereals and gndns and less flour.
NEW LAW
On and after January 2Sth, 1918, wholesalers and retailers are required to sell, with every purchase of flour, an e<jual weight of other cereals, feterita flours and meals.
Owing to the shortage of substitutes tiljis law has been modified as follows:
WHOLESALERS may during the first two weeks in February sell not less than 30% of substitutes to 70% of M'heat flour; aud during the second two weeks of February- not less than 40% of substitutes to 60% of wheat flour. Thereafter the full regulations of the Food Administration will be enforced.
RETAILERS must sell to their customers not less than one pound of substitutes to three pounds of wheat flour during the fii-st two weeks of February; and dur- . ing the following two weeks not less than two pounds of substitutes to three pounds of wheat flour. There¬ after the full regulation of the Food Apdministration requiring: sales of equal quantities; of wlrtat floUr and substitutes will Iw enforced.
HOARDING
Sugar shonld be sold in villages in from two to flve pound (]uautities; to rural customers iii five or ten pound (luantities. Flour to village customers in not to exceed 1-8 barrel (241-2 lbs.) quantities; to rural cus¬ tomers not to exceed 1-4 barrel quantities.
Hoarding has been defined to be the having in one's possession of more than a thirty days' supply and the purchase of more than usual amounts by consumers. This" applies to individuals, dealers, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailera.
As a guide for the individual, a suitable 30-day ration per pers<m would be as follows: Sugar, 3 pounds; meat, 10 lbs.; butter, 2 pounds; flour, 12 pounds. These rations are ample and some are twice as large as al¬ lowed by our Allies. .-
A conviction under tne statute relating to hoarding carries with it a penalty of a flne not exceeding f5,000, or two years' imprisonment or both.
NEW FOOD CALENDAR It should be made part of the patriotic war duty of every American family to live up to the following Food Calendar re<'ently adopted by the U. 8. Food Ad¬ ministrator and which is in the course of distribution: HELP WIN THE WAR BY CONSERVING FOOD
CUT THIS OUT SUNDAY—One meal wheatless; one meatless MONDAY-—Wheatless; one meal meatless TUESDAY—Meatless and porkless; one meal wheatless. WEDNESDAY^—Wheatless; one meal meatless THURSDAY—One meal meatless; one wheatless FRIDAY—One meal meatless; one wheatless *
SATURDAY—Porkless; one meal wheatless; one meat¬ less Every day a fat saving day Every day a sugar saving day
We should buy and consume 1-3 less wheat products ^ than we did last year. We have naed twice as much' sugar as we need. We eat and waste nearly twice as much meat as we need. We use and waste 21-2 times as much fat as we need.
For information, apply to the Member of the Food Council in your locality, A. D. Weekes, jr.. Deputy Food Administrator, or Cteorge D. Clarke, Secretary, at Oyster Bay. „.. ,
It is the patriotic duty of all to report any viola¬ tions of the law at once.

George Wallace Very Low Former Aaaemblman Has Sinking Spell, But Rallies Somewhat The condition of former Assembly¬ man George Wallace, who was strick¬ en with paralysis iast Friday, is still aerious. He had a sinking spell early Wednesday evening, and members of kis family were called to the houae. Mr. Wallace suffered a slight stroke some time ago, and was advised by kis physician to give up his law work. He preferred activity, however, and last week went to Albany to argue a oase in the Court of Appeals. The strain has evidently too great and he was stricken shortly after returning kome. Oysters Again Coming In For the flrst time since December 29, wben the last l>08t left and did aot retum until this week, oyst^ss are now being brought up th9,,!^Fl^e- port Creek. During the sever^weath- er in late December, ^the icer*froze so ihick that attempts to break a pass- VMfe to the oyster grounds have not Mfen-^iuccessful, as the boats would get part way to the grounds on a mild day, only to have the weather sudden¬ ly become colder overnight, and all their efforts wasted, and it was not nntil this week that they succeeded, aft^r several attempts, in breaking . through. What few oysters have been received in this section since that time were landed at the end of Woodcleft Channel, where the chan¬ nel, being wider, opened up quicker, and were brought to the oyster hous¬ es by teams. Offers Coal for Destitute In a letter to Capt. James Hanse Stephen P. Pettit writoa from West Palm Beach, Florida: The climate is so delightful that we are in bathing every day. I think j have only missed about three days since I have been here and I am feei¬ ng gfeat. Now Captain I have two cars of eoal that I have had ordered for some time and Frank Hombeek has written me that he has received the bill of lading. I would like very rauch to ke^ one of theae eara, aa my bailding will require that amount to get through, but if there ia any great ¦faortago I want you to take charge of one car and both if necessary and distribute it among the people of Freoport at the coit price. I don't know what tho ooat is, but Frank will have tho bill and yea ean get it from him. I also want to odngratnlate you for the way yoa havo handlad tka situa- tim. I hav* baan reading about you in the papers. Home Defense to Meet A moetittg of tho Freoport Unit, Home Dol^nao Reserves, nias boen called for next Tuaday evening at the (irove Streot School when there win ba an inspection of equipment. In a clash with the Germans Lien¬ tenant C. B. Johnson, a Fraeport boy, has not only given a good accoont of himself, but Sn all probability suc¬ ceeded in reducing the German forces to the extent ^ least of one man. As a trophy of the fray he sends his mother the victim's soldier bolt well spattered with blood. On Monday Mrs. A. S. JolinaOn of I^orth Main Street, received a letter from her son, Liuetenant Johnaon, who is 'somewhere over there" which verifies the reports that the Ameri¬ can Army is in the thickest of the fray. Lientenant Johnaon, who waa a telephone engineer before ho was eom- misfiioned, is stationed in the ofllice of the Chief of the Signal Corps, Head¬ quarters of the American Expedition¬ ary Forces^ The belt is made of stout harness leather nearly two inches wide. The size of the girth would indioate that it was at one time intended for a full stomach, but the wearer had evidently "reduced" considerably, as there are extra boles in it. Inside in large capi¬ tal letters is the name, Hans Schegel- man. "It happened at midnight and you can see by the blood marks on it thai we had a terrible struggle. More than that I am not able to tell you now." This letter from Lieutenant Johnson was written January 16, and paaaed the censor without any erasures. The belt is on exhibition at Smith A Bedell's drug store. miAGE TRUSTEES At the regular meeting of the Vil¬ lage Board of Trustees last Thurs¬ day the date for registration for vil¬ lage election (which vrill be held on March 19) was set for Saturday, March 9, from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. Chief John J. Randall, jr., of the fire department submitted a complete report of inspections, as required by law of local hotels three stpries high. A communication was received from the fire department asking for in- Btallation of additional i fire gongs. This was held over till the next meet¬ ing and C. A. Rider of the Telephone Company ia to be invited to appear before the Board and explain the proposition regarding fire alarms sub¬ mitted by him and tumed down by the Fire Council, before action is taken on the recommendation of the Council. Village Treasurer S. Dimon Smith appeared in answer to a resolution of the Board asking him to take steps to collect arrearages of taxes. He thought this was an enormous amount of work for him to do as a part of his regular work. He' said he had, how¬ ever, given the matter considerable consideration, and was convinced iliat the only thing to be done was to sell the property at a tax sale. There are pieces, he said, which have been run¬ ning for from 10 to 16 years, and a great many 7 or 8 years, and tbe vil¬ lage will never realize any profit un¬ til the property is sold. Tliis was laid over for a future meeting. Coavano and Goodyear Rubbers for all tite family. W« carry a full as¬ aortment; also a good Uao of boots.
