              Gasconade County ' Reputjlcaim Number 18, Volume 14. Owensville, Missouri, Friday, Mar. 22, 1918. $1.50 Per Year, In Advance- "Deacon Dubbs" Pleases Large Audience i "Deacon Dubbs," a comedy iU three acts, was staged at Henneke's Hall last Thursday evening by the Evangelical Young People's Lca-guo, and though hurriedly adver- ' tised, drew a very good crowd and pleased everyone. All had their parts well committed and while here and there aj lit tie more expression might have ' been given the lines, on the whole j the play was exceedingly well ren- j dored. Were we to begin to tell' how well any one character was, taken we should have to compli- : ment each, so we will simplify matters by congratulating the entire company and we really think this play by our home talent was far better than any by professional ! entertainers who have appeared here with possibly one or two. exceptions. We must, however, say 1 that Edwin Hengstenberg as "Deacon Dubbs" was almost perfect while Elmer Steinbeck as "Deutefouomy Jones" was a scream. The scenery and stage properties were artistically designed and quite in keeping with the I play.

To Retailers Many country merchants hare been selling flour without substitutes taking a certificate from the purchasor that he has the preper weight of substitutes on hand aad is using them as food in proper proportion with wheat flour. These same merchants in pur chasing from wholesalers and millers have been required, under the rules governing wholesalers aud millers, to purchase aa equal weight of substitutes with their purchases of wheat flour. The consequenoe has been that these country merchants are now or will in future be overstocked with sub-stitutes which they will be unable to sell. This matter has bees placed before the Washington authorities and we are able to announce the following regulation which hsreafter should be observed by millers and wholesalers. Retail merchants may purchase wheat flour from millers and wholesalers or jobbers without purchasing an equal weight of substitutes if they will sign a certificate at follows : Certificate for Merchant Purohas-iug Flour Without Substitutes For the purpose of purchasing pounds of wheat flour, I hereby certify that I have ia stock pounds of wheat flour substitutes, as follows 1 naming them , not balanced by supplies of wheat flour in stock or under contract; and that la sales to consumers I require such consumers to buy an equal weight of wneat flour substitutes otto certify by written certificate that they have an equal weight of substitutes on hand and are consuming them as human food at the rale of one pound of substitutes (or every pound of wheat flour con sumed.
