SUBSTITUTE PLAN.
I ever a8l Byrnes Secure Euilns
From Administrator i'll Re
sponSe to Appeal.

Washington. Feb. 9.-NQt satisfied
with tie delay of the food admins
tration in responding to their protests
against its order which precluded the
farmer from purchasing flour unless
he purchased an equal quantity Of a
substitute foodstuff like, rice, meal,
etc, Representatives Lever and Byrn-
es Yesterday called upon Mr.. Hoover
In person and entered most vigor-
GUS protest against the wisdom and
sanity OF this order.
The situation of the South Carolina
farmers was fully explained to NJ.
Hoover and it was pointed cut that
this order, if permitted to stand,
would not only work an injustice I'd
the farmers of the State, but neces-
sarily result both in waste and in
decreased production Of other food
stuTs
When the situation was fully un
derstood by Mr. Hoover, he took steps
at once to authorize the food admin
lstrators Of the State to permit the
farmers to purchase flour without
having to purchase an equal amount
of other foodstuffs which he himself
had on hand.
Under the new ruling. all the farm
er will have to do is to satisfy his
grocer that he has on hand other su3-
stitute focdstuffs when he Will be
permitted to purchase 20 per cent Of
his normal consumption OF flour for
30 days at time.

IF YOU HAVE CORN
YOU DON'T NEED MEAL
Pound for Pound Order Modified fOl
Farmers and Others Who Have
Corn

The national food admin isiration
has given authority for modiffca-
ton Of the pound-for-pound law In
order to give relief to the farmer in
South Carolina who has his own coru
ground locally. Much dissatisfaction
has been caused among farmers, who
felt that it was unreasonable to ask
them to buy northern or western meal
when they had their own home ground
meal which they could use. There
was no protest concerning reduction
OF the consumption Of flour, but
simply that the farmer did not wish
70 buy meal from his store when he
had better meal or grits at home.
U..der the new rule the farmer can
have his corn ground by miller,
who will give him certificate. This
certifcte must be filed with the
grocer by the farmer, whereupon he
can buy an equal amout of flour-not
IL excess Of half barrel.
The farmer takes his corn. to the
mill and has it ground. He signs d
certificate which the millers will
have. stating number in his family Or
tenants for which he buys, the amount
of flour he has on hand; and agreeing
70 use in his household equal weights
of flour and substitutes. Thereupou
the miller signs certificate as to the
number of pounds Of meal ground.
This certificate is then fled with the
grocer, and whereupon the farmer can
buy an equal weight Of flour but in
no case in excess of one-half barrel.
This relieves the only difficulty that
has been encountered in South Caro-
limo.
There has been no objection what
soever to the reduction in consump-
ton of flour. and the farmer has been
patriotically ready to reduce his con-
sumption of flour. but he very natur-
ally did not desire to buy more Of
what he already had an abundance III
mis- home.

county food administrators for distri-

THE HERALD AMI NEWS ONE
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1918-06-14
BIG CROWDS SEE AMERICANS
PLAY BASE BALL IN LONDON.

AS the latest wonder OF the world
London has taken to base BALL" says
q Committee on Public Information
representative In London. The
English never before had much use
for our great game. They called it
an exaggerated form of FOUNDERS and
wondered what the noise was all
about, but the American and Canadi-
an soldiers in England have been ed
ucatinB them.
"A league of eight teams has
started summer schedule. and the
English public Is learning what 1t has
missed Big crowds witness the game
which is played every Saturday, and
the sport bids fair to become widely
popular. Here is the way Thomas
Burke, the short-story writer, re-
ports game in the London Star OF
May 81:
Last week / discovered base ball.
The match between the Army and
Navy teams was my first glimpse Of a
pastime that has captivated a CONT
nent, and can we'll understand its
appeal to a modern temperament.
Believe me, it's the good goods. And
the crowd! | had heard and read
much of base ball fans and their
methods of roofing but my concep-
tions we're nothing near the real
thing. The grandstands, crowded
with Army and Navy fans, bristling
with megaphones and tossing hats
and demoniac faces would have made
a superb subject for Autograph by
Sir Frank Bragwyn.
THE game got hold of me before
the first pitched ball. The players
in their hybrid costumes and huge
gloves, the catcher in his gas mask
and the movements of the teams as
they practiced runs shook me with
excitement. Then the game began
and the roofing began. In past years
| have attended various foot ball
matches in mining districts where the
players came in for a certain amount
OF Raging, but they were church ser
vices compared with the furious
abuse and hazing handed to any un-
fortunate who failed to play ball.
There was, for example. an explo-
sive, reverberating .A-h-h-h-h-h'
which / have been practlcing In my
back yard ever since, but without
once catching its true quality. You
should have heard Admiral Sims, as
college yell leader. when the Navy
made ,home-run hit. with his Alta
Boy; Oh, attaway to play ball and
when they got an error he sure hand
ed the Navy theirs.
Yes, I've got 1t. From now on
I'm going to see every base ball
match played anywhere near London
