RULES ON FIFTY-FIF1Y RATIO.
Deems Says Four Pounds Of Potatoes
EQUALS Ono o. Flour.


Waterloo, Feb. 7.-"Beans pound for
pound and potatoes four pounds to
one pound of -four are considered
wheat flour substitutes" .
That telegram received by Smith,
Lichty & Hillman, wholesale grocers,
from J. F.. Deems. United States food
administrator for Iowa, solves a puzzl-
ing problem which has been confront
ing wholesale and retail grocers and
consumers for some time.
When orders were received some time
ago that the grocers must sell with
each fifty pounds Of flour an equal
amount OF flour substitute the retailers
were in somewhat Of q dilemma. While
they were willing and anxious to
carry out the orders of the food admin
istration, they found that In many cases
it was very hard to substitute an equal
amhount. That came thru the fact that
many Of the grocers could not carry q
stock large enough to cover the
numerous substitutes which would be
asked by the customers.
Wheat -four, according to the order
received some time ago. must he sold
on fifty fifty basis; that is. fifty
pOuHuS vi SupolltulSS has " NC so'A
with each fifty pounds OF wheat flour.
The substitutes follow: corn meal, corn
-four, corn starch (edible,) barley -four,
oatmeal rolled oats. rice flour, potato
-four, buckwheat flour. rice and other
flours Of similar nature.
Graham. rye and whole wheat flour
are not considered substitutes. Dealers
must not make excessive profits on
the substitutes. All substitutes pur-
chased on the fifty fifty plan to OBJ
tain wheat -four must be used for hu-
man consumption and not for chicken
or stock feed.
Mr.. Deems message means that
beans may be used in list OF substitutes
pound for pound and potatoes may De
included in the ratio Of four pounds
Of potatoes to one pound Of flour.
The order from the state food sd-
ministrator means a great deal to the
grocers and consumers, said l.. E.
Fowler, OF the Smith Lichty & Hillman
Company. With beans and potatoes as
substitute, 1t will be much easier for
tho small grocer to even up on the
fifty fifty basis. They found it almost
impossible to keep any great quanti-
ties Of every substitute in stock, but
with. the two commodities added, the
strain will be relieved considerably.

Clark was a farm hand for Bell and
says the crime was committed because
the Bells objected to his attentions to
one Of the daughters. Clark says he
shot the couple while in bed. firing
three bullets into the man and two In
to the woman.
The two. daughters were aroused and
hurried to tho scene. Clark said he had
intended to kill them also and then
take his own life. but changed his
mind after talking for some time with
the girls. At the outset the girls did
not know who had committed the
crime but Clark finally admitted that
he was the murderer. In fear the
younger Of the girls said they would
forgive him for killing their parents ii
he would spare their lives. Clark left
the house without completing the
tragedy he had mapped out.
His recital Of how he escaped from
the ncighborhood and fled to the north

with mustard oil to throw bloodhounds,
which might be secured off the scent
