LAST CALL FOR WHEAT BY
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

To All County and Deputy Food
Administrators: 1t has been the hope
and expectation of the State Food Ad-
ministratiOn that those having wheat
on hand would willingly give this up
to the government for shipment
abroad to our soldiers
In cases where parties are unwill-
ing to bring in their wheat to the mill
or elevator in their neighbOrhoOd, you
are hereby instructed to inform them
for the last time that this must be
done Immediately. Ii this order is not
complied with, please notify the State
Food Administration at once, giving
the name and address of the party,
with the amount OF wheat in his pos
session. This will then be sent to the
U. S. Grain Corporation, who will i'm
mediately requisition his wheat by
force and charge all expenses of doing
so to the owner of the wheat
According to Bulletin No. 1876, those
farmers who voluntarily give up their
wheat will be permitted to keep
enough of their winter wheat for fall
sowing. This concession, however,
will not be made to those who refuse
to voluntarily give up their wheat,
and if We must resort to requisition-
ing their wheat, all their wheat with
the exception of enough to last them
for food for a period of thirty days
will be taken.
Yours very truly,
Magnus SwensOn,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin.

chances for unusual dramatic acting

remarkable artistic ability

her in one of the best roles of her
career, when "The Bargain" featuring
William S. Hart as "The TwO-gun

al acting in support of the star, and
she has made the most of her oppor-
