r L-OUR
In Times of Stress

These are certainly times Of stress in
the -four business. The mills are con-
forming rigidly TO the government regu-
lations and with the demand for flour
far in excess of the possible supply, ex-
IRENE caution in making sales is neces-
sary. We are doing everything that is
humanity possible to favor all Of our old
customers, and as nearly as we can, are
filling their orders at least TO the extent
of their past average requirements.
Current reports Indicate that more lib
eral wheat receipts may be looked for
before long. SO far there has not been
enough wheat coming in 70 enable mills
20 run anywhere near full capacity -
something which every mill in the coun-
try ought 20 be doing now. Were we
dependent on daily receipts, our Com
pany could not run its mills as close to
capacity as it has been running them.
Long before the government fixed the
price Of wheat we foresaw the present
situation and accumulated little
wheat in our elevators at prices then
prevailing so as we might be in better
position 20 render adequate service tc
our good friends when the rush came.
Capacity cars and double loads are the
order Of the day. Only in this way car
the railroads meet the enormous de
mands made upon them.
