Explains Regulation Of
 Wheat and Substitutes

rulings. To alleviate conditions il; ehe state of Arizona the sale of pO:a- toes was permitted in the ratio of four pounds of potatoes to one pOuDi of wheat flour. In some states othe- rulings were made For instance, in Colorado, where there is a large crcp Of potatoes and also of beans, eOns- .bination sales we're permitted of Leans and potatoes with wheat floar. Slightly different rules were put into effect in Texas and other states.
 Many people. reading of the eX- emptiOns permitted by state food a.i- Ininistrators in other states, are undH- the impression that such rules are for general application and do not ap- preciate that they merely cover loc Il conditions The special dispensaticn permitting the sale of poatoes with flour within the state of Arizona wss automatically cancelled as soon ss 'lcur constitutes became available in each town. If the stock of substitutes is again exhausted, dealers will no. be permitted to make exceptions tJ the rule at their own discretion, buI the matter must be referred to the state or county food administrator, who may permit the sale of potatoes or other food products temporary in lieu of the authorized substitutes.
 Mills Overtaxed.
 The greatest difficulty confrontins retail grOcers has been to secure an ample supply of substitutes to bal ance their stocks of flour. Mills esa1 nrn 4ox-ad n their utmost capacity and are only able to fill a small percenage or tnc orders placed with them 4 great number Of flour mills have no facili- ties for grinding cornmeal- Other substitutes, such as rice four. barley flour and potato flour are practically unknown in this district, and have never been stocked to any extent. Naturally the mills specializing in these products favor their old custom CTS in the sale O. these products. So jar it has been impossible to secure any of these particular items in this district milo maize meal and flour and also barley flour are now being mil'- ed in Arizona and will soon be avail able here.
 Mills Re1ulatec.
 The rule which absolutely restricts the retailer in the sale of flour to the consumer also forces the retailer to buy from the mill or the wholesaler in the same ratio. When the mill sells a car of flour they are obliged 10 secure from the buyer a written statement to the effect that the buy CT has purchased an equal amoc':s of substitutes not covered by other purchases of flour.
 Some wholesale and retail groc.;rs take the stand that the present law has seriously curtailed their sales os fIour Naturally this has been exact " the result desired by the food ad- ? inistration- Many consumers nave also been critical. When we consider that the purpose of this law is 10

For some time past the Food Administration has not Yelmarted the packing of the twelve IOund suck. and under normal condi- fion. it is not an economical package. b-,v ever. it will be a great conven .ence, particularly for small families, as they will only be obliged to buy tvselve pounds of substitutes and by buying in small lots they will be able to aalance thei- stock of substitutes.
 West Unaffected
 People in the West have not to any extent been insonvenienced by the Food Administration rulings. and have not experienced the extreme shortage of sugar that faced consumers in the eastern states. There is some criti- cism by consumers of prices on staples IGs dealers can appreciate the results already attained by the Food Admins tra;-on. Prices, it is true, are still high on a number of items, but it must be remembered that the prices on scnIe staples have declined since the Food Administration orders went into effect There is no dOGbt but that the Fcod Administration has prevented the prices of many foods soaring be- yond reach.
 Same of the largest handlers of food rio,.ucts in this country have volun- teered their services to the Food Ad- ninistration-each an expert in his lre. In turn the various state Food Administrators have organizations composed of experienced men who have volunteered their services in this work. The public must remember that these members of the Food Admins tratidn are at their service and will investigate their complaints. If the eoDle object to the prices on any iten; or to any particular ruling cited to item by a retailer. they should take tue matter up with their county Food Administrator for investigation. that is. provided the grocer's explanation is not satisfactory to them.
 Substitutes Available
 Consumers should not circulate re- I'0its relative to the alleged discover ios of ground glass or poison in food products. If they are reasonably sure that food products have been tamper- cd nith, the matter should be taken up eLictly with -he authorities. If con-

Few people realize the restrictions that surround the retail grocer under the present rules and regulations cf the food administration. The grocer IS not allowed to modify or chaugs these rules in any way without the express permission of the food ai- ministTator
 The recent wheat conservation rule has brought criticism of the groce for the reason that the public blame him for the inconvenience that they have been put to. The rule proEid'ns for the sale of an equal amount Of substitutes with each sale of wheat flour was made effective Mon1ay. January 2S. Wholesalers and retail CTS had no advance notice in regard to this rule It went into effect simultaneously throughout the coui.- try The method chosen by the food administration to secure immediate action was by publication in the news papers throughout the country SuE- day, January 27 On the following morning the food administrator tele- graphed all licensed dealers and wholesalers that immediate and strict NlLl aluG rue as HuD-AoA-NA would be expected of them
 Lack of Substitutes.
 When the consumer was confrons- cd with the alternative of ,buyIlS substitutes with flour or deferrins purchases of flour, in most cases pur chases were deferred.

 Battleships and cruisers of the navy are named for states and cities.

The newsboys of the City of New
York have won to their side another
labor organization in their campaign
against the Hearst papers for better
financial and working arrangements.
The Compact Labor Club of Marble
Cutters Helpers, at a meeting at
321 East Seventy-t third Street, voiced
its sympathy with the grievances of
the vendors, and in a resolution as
sured the newsboys of it's cooperation
and assistance in heir fight.
The club unanimously voted its sup
port to the boys, at the conclusion of
a statement of their troubles by An

sailed the Hearst agents as bulldozers
and the managers Of "The New York
American" and "The Evening Journal

The resolution, adopted at the meet
ing ut which Vice President ID. Dnnahy
presided, reads:

"Whcreas, The said newsboys con-
