 F. Duffy says, "It is almost need less to assure you that your kind ness is appreciated to the utmost not only because of the difficulty in obtaining tobacco in this country, but also because of the kindness which prompted the very welcome gift"

ARIZONA DEALERS
 TO LOSE ON STOCKS OF
 WHEAT SUBSTITUTES

Details of the plan for government purchase from dealers of surplus stocks of wheat flour substitutes were made public yesterday by the federal food administrator for Arizona. Incidentally, it was revealed that Arizona dealers stand to sustain considerable lass. While this is re gretted by the food administration, of ficials point out that this was unavOid- able. in face of the sudden change of conditions attendant upon the signing of the armistice. and Arizona mer- chants were called upon to make this additional sacrifice as matter of patriotic duty.
 Under the plan Of purchase Of vic tory flour and other compulsory wheat acur substitutes. the cereal division offers the following prices for stocks delivered in carload quantities at sea board:
 Victory flour slO.5O; barley flour. sS straight; or patent rye flour ss; dark rye four s7.5o; white corn meal four Ss.50. yellow corn meal flour. ss: cream corn meal sS; other corn meal s750: but in no case higher than ac- ,uaI invoice cost: pllus freight.
 With Galveston and San Francisco named as the nearest point Of deliv- cry for Arizona. il is patent tha, Arizona dealers will stand loss in making shipment of substitutes. 1t s. therefore. suggested that they re- duce prices on victory and other sub sti,u;e stocks. thus giving the public advantage even though loss may be incurred. and thereby dispose of stocks more readily than through sale p iae government.
 Many dealers have already taken rhi- course. I; is believed that all stocks of substitutes including vic ,o-y flour can be disposed of with slight loss. within thirty days if this plan is carried out.
