There Is Real Necessity for Being

FEW RECOMMENDATIONS
How Sugar and Flour Should be Sold

From administrator

Now that everyone in Iowa Is
aware that there is a food conserVa

is to make the people realize that II
is not hobby. but an absolute
necessity" says r. E. Logsdon.
executive secretary at the Iowa food
conservation headquarters.
/ In keeping with this idea of max
ing the people realize the true i'm
portance, much mail is being sent
out, the latest being the following
circular, which Administrator
Deems staff is sending to every
newspaper in Iowa.
| The United States food adminfstra-
ton in Iowa calls attention at this
| time to the great necessity of con-
servation in all foodstuffs mentioned
! in the presidents proclamation on
commodity licensing, but especially to
flour and sugar. 1t is the patriotic
duty Of every citizen to reduce as far
as possible his consumption Of -four
and sugar and to see that wholesale
and retail dealers are informed on
the subject Of quantity selling, and
are obeying the rulings of the food
administration. Retailers are required
to sell licensed food commodities at
reasonable prices, based on pre-war
profits and without regard to cost of
replacement of goods or to specula-
tive profits.
Flour should not be sold in quaint
ties exceeding one bag-one-fourth
barrel-to a family. Retailers profit
on -four should not exceed S1.00 per
barrel. 1t must not exceed S1.25 per
barrel.
Sugar should be sold in quantities
not exceeding five pounds to the
family. We recommend not over
two and one-half pounds. 1t must
not be sold in quantities exceeding
ten pounds to the family. Retailers
profit on sugar depends upon circum-
/ stances, just as in the case of flour.
1t is being sold in various parts of
the state at from Sh to 81 cents
per pound. Ten cents per pound is
j the limit
/ Retailers are not allowed to make
combination sales OF foodstuffs-ex-
cept they are allowed to sell sugar
in combination with corn meal at the
rate of one pound of sugar with two
pounds of corn meal.
Merchants and others who do any
wholesaling Of food comm ODDITIES
whatsoever must apply for whole
SalerS Incense.
The attention Of the public is
called to these matters in order that
the people may understand and appre-
ciate the restrictions under which re-
tailers of food commodities are now
operating. The public must not be
unjust, nor may the retailers violate
the rules Of the food administration.
The administration notes fine spirit
Of cooperation generally among re-
tailers in these matters, and requests
the public to be very careful in de-
mands for -four and sugar.
Violations Of the rules should be
reported to the food administration
at Burlington. Reports of boarding
should also be made to the office
there. U. S. Food Administration.
Burlington, Iowa.
Wide publicity should be given to
this information.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, Dec. 10.-One small
| group Of British tommies held a
| whole German division at bay in one
| twist of the great Cambria battle.
The story did not come out in its
full heroic details until today.
In the deep dry bed Of the Nord
canal, e1st of Mouevres, this little
group OF British made one of the
finest stands of the war. AS the
Culebra cut, the British surged for
ward around a slight curve. They
hurled bombs and closed with the
enemy in hand to hand scrimmage
Of bayonets, bombs, sticks, clubs AMI
fists. The Germans were unable 20
stand the grue ling man to man fight.
They retired. The British went right
on. They took two heavy howitzers
and two IT'S, dragging them back to
a strategic point. The Prussians
meanwhile rallied. They came back
on the determined little British
group The Tommies stuck their
German field pieces down for flat
trajectory and began firing. The
target of human bodies in the German
attacking wave was too perfect to
miss.
Wounded British soldiers refused
to be removed back of the line and
begged to be propped up SO they
could continue the fight.
The determined little band was
finally forced to retire, in conform
ity with the general scheme of the
British command. But when they
