The Prompt Answer l
F the habit of answering promptly
when the telephone bell rings were
universal, the saving of time would be
enormous.
g Few things are more pleasing to telephone
users than a prompt and courteous response
to a telephone call. In business, the practice
of prompt answering has been a money
maker, for customers appreciate it.
jJ Practice prompt answering yourself and
make it a rule in your business.

FLOUR SUPPLY
Farmers may bo reassured that there
is no intention on the part of the an.
thorities to inconvetlleirce them untruly
in their busy boakon with unnecessary
restriotibns and regulations as regards
the hoarding of foodstuffs,
An order of the Canada Food Board
recently made it illegal for people to
have more than 16 dais supply of dour,
made wholly or in part from wheat, on
hand at any one time, For people liv-
ing at a greater dietauoe than two miles
and not less than five miles from deal
ere licensed by the Canada Food Board,
sufficient for their ordinary require-
ments up to 80 days only was allowed
olid for persons living TO miles or more
120 days supply,
Further it was required that any such
surplus holdings should forthwith be
returned to the miller or ,dealer from
whom they were purchased, at the pin -
phase prioeee at the market price,
whichever Were the ioWer,
This Order was designed primarily to
to remedy a state of things in the towns
and cities, as it was commonly reported
that some people had laid in undue
quantities of flour in view of the world's
enmity, solfishfy thinking that they
would be sure of a normal supply for
the next year or so whether the people
in :Europe starved or not,
In the ease of farmers, however, it
pointed oat that it was their custom in
many cases to take wheat to the mill.
and get several months supply ground
on one 000asion so as to save frequent
trips and waste of time. To require
that such a farmer xeturn all •surplu

flour to the mill and then some back
every cenple of weeks, or like short in.
tervats, for supplies of their own flour,
would seriously interfere with farm
work, 000asfoning unnecessary travel-
ing and the waste of days precious, es-
pecially at seeding and harvest time, to
the cause of production, a cause more
important, even, than that of conserva-
tion,
Bona fide fanners are now permitted
to hold flour in excess of the amounts
provided for other people, An-Order-
in-Oouneil passed on May 17th makes
this expresa provision
" A bona Ode farmer shall be permit•
ted to hold, subject to the order of the
Canada Food Board, the amount of
flour, made wholly or in part from
wheat, he may have in his possession in
excess of the amount prescribed by Or.
der 31 if, on or before the 16th day of
,June, 1918, he reportsto the miller or
dealer, from whom it was purchased or
by whom fc was manufactured, the ex-
cess amount held by him,
When these reports are received it is
the duty of the miller or dealer to pass
them on to the Canada Food Board
and thus it will be known by the au-
thorities what the supply of flour in
the Country is and where it is. Fur-
ther this Order provides that 111 0x888
where a farmer or any other person
has in his possession one partly nsed
barrel or package he shall not be re-
quired to return his surplus require-
ments nor shall he be required to re-
turn amounte of less than 25 pounds.
Thus it is seen that the iutention of the
Order is entirely reasonsbls and will
not work hardship or inconvenience
unnecessarily, .
