Close Their Shops-HOover
Has Said So.

st. Adams, March 1S.-"Victory bread
or close" is the slogan of the national
food administration as regards bakers de-
ciaied Acting Federal Food Administrator
John T. Gushing to-day. who further
stated that all administrators In every
State are now under orders from Washing
ton to see that. beginning March 40, all
bakers are either putting minimum of 20
per cent. Of substitutes in their bread and
rolls or are not baking at all.
This means that every baker i'll Ver-
mont who Is not using the required 20
per cent. of wheat -four substitutes in
bread and rolls must cease baking those
products on the twentieth of this month
and must not resume operations until
they are prepared to use the substitutes
as required upon pain of revocation Of
their license" Mr.. Gushing explained.
Mr. Gushing stated that all county adj
ministrators and local representatives
have been instructed to keep close watch
in this connection and are to report imme-
diately bakers who are not observing the
regulations. Bakers who are using the re-
quired substitutes are also invited to re-
port competitors who are below the 20 per
cent. for those who support the govern
men. should be givon full protection
against Injuat and dis!oyal competition.
This order should not affec9 many

ing administrator said. "for only two
bakers have asked for the Today exemp-
ton which was allowed bakers some days
ago In Gaze they did not have the sub
stitutes and could not obtain them. Every
day has seen an increase in the amount
of substitutes coming into the State and
bakers. moved to exert themselves because
of the severe penalty Of having their Ii
cense revoked, should succeed in securing
the substitutes.
"Wherc It is absolutely necessary bakers
may make use of potatoes as a substitute
and they are urged to do this rather than
to suspend operations. Potatoes may be
used by tho bakers, and by the bakers
alone, as e. substitute. four pounds of
potatoes being required in place of one
pound of the cereal substitutes. Bakers
who can not secure the substitutes are re-
quested to report this fact to the admins
traitor Immediately Until March 81 rye is a
substitute for bakers, after which date it
will be removed from the legal list"
In commenting on this new order Mr..
Gushing said it should bring about n
realization Of the wheat flour situation
and should stimulate the people into re-
newed efforts at conservation of this
commodity THE baking business is a
most important one." he said, land we

has been taken with reluctance and would
not be resorted to except under the direct
necessity. The American people are facing
their first real home test of the war.
