CEED "a POUNDS AND TO
COUNTRY CUSTOMERS NOT

Food Administrator Cochran An.
nounces Regulations That Are
Now In Eject Wheatless and
Meatless Days Must BE
Strictly Observed.

County Food Administrator W. ID.
Cochran yesterday issued the follow
ing regulations which are now In ef-
feet
/. Sales of wheat -four to town
customers must not exceed twenty
four pounds and to county customers
forty-eight pounds.
2. In every sale Of wheat -four the
purchaser shall be required to take
an equal amount Of one or more OF
the following substitutes, to-wit:
Barley -four, Buckwheat -four, Corn
-four, Corn meal, Corn starch, Corn
grits, fetinta ours and meals, hom-
my, oatmeal, potato -four, rice flour,
rice, rolled oats, soy bean -four and
sweet potato flour.
3. Mondays and Wednesdays of
each week are to be observed as
wheatless days and one other meal
each other day of the week Is like
wise to be wheatless, the evening
meal preferable. This applies to both
the home and public eating places,
and on such days and meals, no crack
ers, pastries, macaroni, breakfast
foods or other cereals containing
wheat should be used. The only eX-
ception to this is such small quantity
| Of -four as may be needed for thick
ening soups or gravies or as a binder
in corn bread or other cereal breads
Bread baked In the home on wheat
less days should be other than wheat
bread
4. Tuesday Is meatless day and
should be observed in the home and
public eating places, and one meat
less meal should be likewise observed
on each other day in the week. This,
of course, includes pork. which in ad-
dition to Tuesday, should not be used
on Saturday. Pork includes bacon,
ham, lard and pork products, fresh or
preserved.
S. Hoarding by the individual con-
sumers, such as the accumulation of
supplies by purchasing from different
dealers, will be done in disregard of
the regulations of the food admins
tration and warning is given not to
indulge in such practice.
The reason for these regulations is
based upon the extreme necessities of
the Allies of the United States at this
time and the National Food Admins
tration insists upon strict observance
thereof.
There is enough food in this coun-
try to go round. No one is in danger
of starvation and there is no reason
for becoming "panicky". American
citizens are simply asked to substi-
tute other good, wholesome food sup
plies for those so urgently needed
across the waters. Even If we do not
relish the situation or the substitutes,
the self-denial required is slight COM
pared with the sacrifices endured by
those tour allies) in whose behalf
these regulations are adapted.

Food Administrator Mason County,

ICE GoRGE
IL Strongest on Record-Rlyer Closed
100 Miles From Plttsburg TO
Vlcksburg.

The return of cold weather, which
is general throughout the Ohio Valley,
has removed all immediate possibility
Of general breakup in the Ice gorge
In the river.
Never before In the memory Of the
Oldest river men operating On the
Ohio and Mississippi Rivers has the
river been gorged and frozen as 1t Is
today. The entire length Of the Ohio,
from Plttsburg to Cairo, a distance Of
1000 miles, Is closed by ice, and the
Mississippi is gorged or frozen as far
down as Vicksburg, Miss, which is
662 miles south of Cairo, by river
measurement.
Measured in river miles from Pitts
burg to Vicksburg there is a ribbon Of
gorged ice nearly 100 miles in
length stretching across the country.
While for duration the present ice
gorge In the Ohio River does not
break the records, it does break all
records for extent.
The ice gorge in the Ohio River
during the present winter is one of
the greatest that has ever occurred.
1t would not be correct to say that 1t
is the greatest one on record without
some qualifications, as there has been
greater gorges during the past years
at some places on the river, and dur
ing three years ice formed slightly
earlier in the winter.
The gorge during the present win
ter is the most extensive one on rec
ord, as it has extended the entire
length of the river and the ice has
held firm for the longest period
! throuhout the length of the river. At
ter the cold wave of December the
ice formed rapidly, and by the 10th
ice had become heavy enough to stop
navigation in the middle and upper
portions of the river. Since that date
there has been practically no naviga-
tiOn.

GORGE BREAKS
IN OHIO RIVER FROM PORTS.
MOUTH, OHIO, TO MOUTH or
BIG SANDY
Ferry Boats nt Ironton, ohio, and
Portsmouth, Ohio, Are Complete
Loss-Break.up May Occur
Here Today.

Word was received here this morn
Ing that the Ice gorge In the Ohio rIy-
or had broken from Portsmouth to
the mouth OF the Big Sandy river at
Catlettsburg.
In the breakup of the heavy ice,
which In some places Is several feet
thick, the ferry boat at lronton, Ohio,
was crushed to pieces and the one at
Portsmouth, Ohio, was broken In two
Word came yesterday that the Big
Sandy river was rising rapidly and It
was thought here that the gorge In
the river here would probably
break some time this afternoon or to-
night. The Big Sandy, however, is
falling this morning and II is not
known whether there Is enough wat
er in the river to break up the ice any
farther than Portsmouth, Ohio.
All the boats in the Maysville har-
Dor are fairly well protected below
the Ice piers and the ice has been
cleared away to such an extent that
1t is thought that no damage will be
done here when the break does come,
Reports from up the river at points
where the ice has broken are that the
shore ice has been banked up in
places as high as twenty feet. River
men have feared that this would hap
pen, and 1t had been hoped that the
ice would keep away from the shore
instead of piling up. Whenever this
happens everything that happens to
be in the way on both sides of the
river is crushed, and should the same
thing happen here there would be no
hope of saving any of the boats now
tied up. 1t is thought that the ice
piers will afford ample protection,
however, and will prevent any great
damage being done.
The ice above the ice piers was
cleared away yesterday afternoon,
breaking up the road which has been
| used by the people coming to and
fro between Aberdeen and this city,
putting at an end all travel between
the two cities.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO,N ov. 1S.-Sharp new ad- vances in the corn market today re- suited chiefly from attempts to antic- ipate the price effects of the hunger necessities of Europe. Quotations closed firm, 27s to 37s net higher, with December 1.2S2s to 1.2S12 and January 1.29% to 1.30. Oats finished 11s to 214 up and provisions varied from unchanged figures to a rise of 35c.
 Reports from London that arrange ments were being made for the dis patch of a number of German vessels to the United States to convey food stuffs to Germany did a good deal to give fresh impetus to speculative de- mand for corn. Despite aggressive selling which made the market waver at the outset, the buying brOadened out, and was intensified owing to wet weather which threatened to retard the domestic crop movement. Profit taking sales caused a decided setback later, but the fever to purchase be- came dominant again, and carried the market higher than before. The top for the doy showed an extreme bulge of more than F cents within a week.
 Oats strengthened with corn. Hedg ing pressure, though, checked the gains. Besides, export bids were somewhat out of line.
 Provisions were lifted by the up- turns in grain and hogs. The tran sient break in corn led. however, 10 a reaction.

REFUGEES ON MOVE.

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Nov. 1S.- (By the Associated Press )-All the refugee populations who have been freed in Belgium and France are on the move these days, intent upon re- gaining their homes. from which many have been separated since the beginning of the war. Everywhere one sees long lines of country folk coming or going over the main roads with their few pitifui possessions.
 Almost every family group marches cheeFfully ahead, with big or little Belgian flags flying bravely and not a few American flags among the lot. Many of the hamlet people are already patching up their shattered houses enough to keep out the rain. Even in DiXmude the people are already living in the cellars.
 The city of Antwerp appears to have come through the years of German oc- cupation well as compared with many other cities, though the people suf- fered under the load of eXorbitant prices. Great preparedness have been under way for the entry of the king and queen and the road between Ghent and Antwerp is beflagged.

 We believe that absOlutism on the part of labor is just as bad for the general welfare of the nation as absolutism of sO-called capital. Both elements ought to be able to find a common and equitable basis on which properly to meet every present and future need. In this effort to reach and maintain a common ground, our industrial factors need and expect constructive. legitimate and impartial encouragement from the government, and a healthy, well-informed public opinion.

By Review Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-COnver- sion of the war industries board to g peace industries board to act as a bal ance wheel during the reconstruction period was suggested by representa- tives of more than 100 automobile manufacturers at a meeting here to- day of the National Automobile cham Der of commerce. Committees were appointed to cooperate with the war unanimously not to hold the annual after-the-war problems.
 The manufacturers voted almost unanimously not to hold the annoul national automobile shows in New York and Chicago this winter While restrictions on exhibits of a conner cial nature have been removed by the government, the automobile men ex- pressed a belief that it would not be possible to prepare suitable exhibits in the time available.
 Statistics presented to the meeting by the manufacturers showed that the output of passenger cars for the year 1918 will be less than one million, whereas. on the basis of 1917, produc- tion without the restrictions placed upon plants. the production for the year would have reached approXi- mately two million.

HUN WITHDRAws RAPIDLY.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION. Nov. IS. - (By the Associated Press. .)-The Germans are withdrawing as rapidly as possible. in the towns now occupied by the Americans, great stores, including machine guns, cannon and ammuni- ton, have been found. At Tellan- court there is big airdome, but most of the planes left were damaged, some apparently Intentionally so. The hood Of one machine had been pierced by a dozen pistor shots, prob- ably in an endeavor to injure the engine.
 Business at Vierton, northeast of Montmedy, was proceeding steadily an hour after the Americans entered and restaurants afforded a great surprise by serving food to the hungry "deliv- erers." Meat was scarce, but there was some, and sugar was plentiful. Coffee and tobacco were brought forth in abundance.
 After the departure of the Germans the mayor of Vierton called a con ference of the mayors of the neigh boring villages for the purpose of outlining plan of procedure under the new military supervision. The townspeople opened soup kitchens for the repatriated prisoners who con- tinued to stream back throughout the day and the wounded prisoners in hospitals were cared for by a local committee.
 1t was Americas day in Belgium. The residents had decorated their shops and homes with thousands of flags of the allies, almost all of which seemed to have been made from scraps of silk ,and other material which lay hidden for months awaiting the great day. The civilian guards also appeared in brand new uniforms, which they had been saving.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-19

civilians greeted the vanguard of the Second American division which reached Montmedy shortl~ before S o'clock Sunday morning. The civilians knew the Americans were coming, but were surprised at the early hour of their arrival The Americans, like wise. were surprised to find so many civilians awaiting them.
 Montmedy is little scared as the result of the war except for the rail road yard, where the bombs of Amer ican aviators some time ago dis placed tons of earth and tore up the railroad When the Americans ar rived in MUntmedy the civilians were still at work putting up flags along the principal streets. Soon after the excitement of the welcome was over the Americans were surprised to see shopkeepers open their stores.
 French flags, which had not been unfurled for four years in Montmedy, predominated in the scheme of dec oration, but here and there American flags appeared The Americans were at a loss to understand where they came from until a civilian explained that they had been made by the French women in anticipation of the arrival Of the Americans.
 Detachments of the division spent part of the day in Montmedy. During the afternoon the marine band gave a concert in the city square, which had been renamed by the Germans "Berliner PlatZ." The civilians crowded around and embraced the bandsmen when they finished the concert with a rendition of "The Mar seillaise.",
 Late Sunday afternoon the ad- vance columns of the Second division started forward from Montmedy to make room for additional units com ing on from the west.
