A special effort is being made to
put this factory on a large enough
scale to make it worth while for the
stockholders and those who care to
make extra money cutting and SELL
ing beargrass during their leisure time
and perhaps it will be made valuable
enough TO pay good profits to those
who desire making that a business.
The fibre made on these special ma
chimes is much superior to that made
on the old machines from the dry bear
grass. Mr.. Haas, the inventor, has
had a number of communications from
other parts of the state in regard to
installing factories. At present he
would rather see Quay county launch
the first as he has been a resident Of
Tucumcari for many years. A num-
Der of the b It business men Of the
city are inter ested in this proposition
because they have examined the ma
chimes and know they are a success.
They also know the fibre factory here
a few years ago was becoming a sue
cess when it was completely destroyed
by fire. The fibre made on the new
machines is better and stronger be-
cause there is no chemical used in pro-
ducing il. The process is much more
simple and economical. Factories can
not be builded on hot air and good
wishes. II takes money and work.
It's up to every citizen and farmer to
be here next Thursday and hear this
proposition discussed.

RATION PER PERSON IS Il POUNDS
OF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY
Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Hsrs-Anied War
Bread Must Be Maintained-Our Soldiers and
Sailors to Have Full Allowance.

If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary proper
ton of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the
next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce
our monthly consumption to q 600, 900 bushels a month, as
against our normal consumption of about az, 900, 900 bushels,
or so per cent. Of our normal consumption. This is the situa-
ton as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing
ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for
special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately
12 pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food
Administrations statement continues: Many of our consumers
are dependent upon bakers bread. Such bread must be durable
and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products
than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and
navy require a full allowance. The welLto-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat
products than can the poor; In addition, our population in
the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun-
dant. are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these
other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations
With improved transportation conditions we now have avail
able a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months
a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human
consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has
already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains.

Candies are but one of many things
