State Food Administrator Issues Bul1s-
tin Prices for Flour, Corn
Meal and Potatoes.

At meeting held yesterday Of tho
committee on Interpretation Of prices in
the Wheeling community, In the office
Of the state food administration. prices
on sugar. flour corn meal and potatoes
were agreed upon.
The official bulletin issued for publ
cation following tne meeting. states that
the worst Of the sugar scarcity is over
and after tho first Of the year there will
bs an ampls supply Of sugar: that. the
price should not be moro than eleven
cents at retail The committee asks
more frecr use OF potatoes. The cPm-
m!trcn urges all who are required to pay
more at retail for tho commodities as
quoted should communicate Immediately
with the food administration In the Ma
.ional Bunk Of West Virginia. Twelfth
and Main streets.
The Bulletin issued yesterday by the
committee follows:
Sugar.
The committee. realizing the present
condition Of the market in regard to
this commodity, earnestly recommends
A. careful use Of sugar and strongly
urges that every person guard against
the waste thereof. The retailers have
been Obliged to pay varioua prices but
everything considered. we believe that
eleven cents Is n fair maximum price
and we accordingly so report Il. The
present scaie follows:
Retailer pays: Per cwt.. 1915 to S9.1l.
Consumer pays, per h.. loc to lie.
Tho worst Of the sugar scarcity is
over. After the first Of January 1t Isl
certainty that the supply will be ample
for all necessary needs The price after
that time will be at least one cent per
pound lower.
Flour.
While there is at present more flour
in This city than there has been for some
time past. yet II behooves everyone TO
be especially careful In the use OF this
commodity. Corn. rye and barley meals
and flours should be literally suhst-
tutcd for. wheat flour. Every local
grocer is making IN effort to encourage
the use Of corn meal. corn flour. rye
flour and other substitutes Your gov
nrnment asks you ~ use one pound less
OF wheat flour week. Anyone can
do THIS easily.
Retailer pays per II bhl. sack: Best
