HOOVER REMOVES LIMIT ON
QUANTITY SALES OF WHEAT

= According to a telegram received
from Hoover, August 80, by Magnus
.SwensOn, Wisconsin Food Adimnistra~
tor, all limits on quantity sales to con-
sumner including thirty days supply to
consumers and supply for specified
period to farmers on exchange trans
action are removed.
1--WE rely on the substitute rule and
the general request to economic food
to accomplish the necessary conserva-
tion," says Hoover.
While retailers are not required to
buy substitutes at the same time -four
is purchased, they must be sure to
keep sufficient legal substitutes on
hand SO that they can sell one pound
OF substitutes to each four pounds of
-four sold
Present stocks of mixed fours con-
tanning 20 per cent or more substi
tutes may be sold without substitutes
until exhausted. If they contain less
than 20 per cent substitutes, one pound
OF substitute flour must be sold with
each four pounds of it. After Sept l
Vivtory Mixed fiours containing pre-
scribed percentages of substitutes will
be sold
All manufacturers of Victory Mixed
Flours must take out internal revenue
license and pay special tax as hereto
fore.

'In the upper part Of the cemetery

They had been digging all day long
and for many days, for there were
many rows of graves yet untitled.
There must be room for those yet to

Supplies for the Front.
"Along the railroad that runs past
the cemetery train after train passes,
loaded with supplies and munitions
and men, going up toward the front.
Could those sleeping here but know
it! Could they but know that France,
as ever since those terrible days Of
1914, is standing fast, holding the en-
envy at bay, and bearing the brunt of
this terrific struggle! They must
know it, for they all sleep so peace
fully. Their part is done. They have
given everything they had to give and
unbegrudgingly. For them the distant
rumble of the cannon has no misgiv-
ings, for they sleep secure in the be-
lief that victory some day will be ours.
Sleep on, comrades-for am priv
ileged to call you comrades-your
work is over. You have we'll earned
your rest. Those of US who are left
Will carry on the work you so we'll be-
gan.
"Just as left the gate, turning
hOmeward, a strange procession ap-
peared down the lane, and I stopped to
let it pass-a huge canton, painted
war gray, followed by eight grizzled
territorials, their rifles slung over their
shoulders poilu fashion. They were
dirty, unshaven, and their uniforms
faded and torn, but, oh, so typical of
France, torn and wracked by four
long years of war. On the truck was
painted the word Munitions It was
not mislabeled, for it carried cannon
fodder that had served it's purpose,
and had been used up in the struggle.
II came quickly to attention and sa-
luted. 1t is custom of the country,
often done without thought or feeling,
but this time my soul was in it. I was
proud to thus render homage to one
poor common soldier as he passed on
his last, long march.
"Open wide the gates and give the
newcomer room! Give him a COM
Portable place in that furthest row, for
he must have rest and peace. The
leaves in the trees rustled, the torn
and faded flags fiuttered and the tin
tricolor cockades on each cross tinkled
thus was the newcomer welcomed
into his last earthly home"

Lieut.. Robert e. Lee, u. S. A., grand
son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the COM
mander in chief of the armies of the
Confederate states during the Civil
war, is fighting for the United States.
Lieutenant Lee has the mark as a
military leader set by his famous
grandfather as the goal of his efforts,
though he will be doing his utmost for
that Union which his grandfather
strove to destroy. General Lees fame
as soldier is secure, for he is rated
by military experts as one of the
greatest commanders the world has
known. If Lieutenant Lee inherfts
his military skill there will be no ques-
ton about his chances of being rated
a military genius.
Maj. William Fitzhugh Lee Simpson,
a granddaughter Of Gen. Robert g..
Lee, recently died while on duty in
France, according to a confirmed re-
port received here. Major Simpson
was in charge of the American school
of machine gunfire in France. No par
ticulars Of his death, except that 1t
was due to appendicitis, have been re-
ceived. The Lees are in the fight.

1918 WHEAT TO BE SOLD ON
BASIS OF TERMINAL CHARGES

'Millers are expected to buy wheat
on basis of terminal prices,-$226 at
Chicago and Milwaukee and $2.215 at
Minneapolis-less freight and han
ding charges, Magnus Swenson, Food
Administrator for Wisconsin, answered
enquiries made to the Food Admins
Itration.
''The price Of wheat per bushel at
elevators based on federal grades
Should be slightly less than the Chica-
go and Milwaukee price of $226 or
the Minneapolis price of $2215. The
slight decrease is allowed because of
the cost of handling at country eleva-
tor, the freight charge to terminal
market, the terminal charges includ-
ing commission, switching amounting
to 212c per bushel and the profit to
the local elevator.
No excessive profit will be permit
ted.
IF the farmer is not satisfied with
the price offered by the miller or ele-
vator, he may ship his wheat to the
u. S. Food Administration Grain Cor
poration, 226 S. La Sale ST., Chicago"

ing feature of the State convention of
the Republicans hero today. lie had
been placed on the programme for an
address, this afternoon, but when the
death of his son in battle in France
was reported, it was thought that he
would cancel the engagement. The
delegates therefore were deeply NOV
ed when il was announced that Roose-
welt, casting aside his grief for the
AXE of the occasion and the party
would speak as arranged.
Immediately he became the center
of interest and in short time there
developed movement to name him
for governor, a stampede for him to
be started by what was planned to
be a Commute ovation when he
should take the platform, this after
noon, to make his address. Before
that time arrived II was reported that
the Colonel had been questioned in
regard to accepting the Gubernatorial
and that he had refused
10 commit himself, further than to say
that he would have to see his friends
about II.
