get the equipment and ere long it
too, will be recognized as another

justify doubling the acreage next

ss-Another meeting of the bus
mess men who operate delivery
service throughout the City viii
take place at the Court House
next Monday evening at 1870
The meeting is called by order
Fof Mr.. Luke L. Bertrand, chair,
man of the committee appointed
recently by the Council of De-
Tense to remedy this custom which
is oftentimes very much abused
It is the intent of the government
to restrict deliveries to one serv.
ice each day in every line Of bus.
mess in order to save labor. gaso
line, tires, ETC.. that could be put
to better purposes. Mr.. Der.
trand is endeavorin9 to get ev.
cry merchant and business man to
pledge themselves to the plans
laid down by the government for
all who are inclined to help the
nation conserve labor during the
war. When taken into considera-
ton the great cost in maintaining
delivery service and how it eats
into the profits Of every grocer
in the City, we often wonder how
they can operate under such great
expense. While it Is a great con-
venience to many operating house,
holds to have small purchases de-
livered at all hours Of the day
they could order in bulk during
the morning hours and have the
necessities to supply them until
the next morning. It is not to be
wondered at that so many small
grocerymen have to close their
doors and quit business every
year when they are compelled to
deliver 1Oc articles, oftentimes
At a cost Of Csc, or more, before
the delivery auto returns for
another route. The system OF de-
livering goods is q great CONVEX
ence, but now that the govern
nent must conserve labor one
rip q day is all that should 0e
under the circumstan-
.es. No merchant is anxious to
larry on this system at a loss,
Ind if the lady folks would al
lie with one another and order
heir merchandise in sufficient
Quantities to last one day it would
'e a great saving to the business
aen. Let all who are operating |
lelivery service attend the meet
ng ON Monday and devise ways |
nd means, to comply with the
governments request.

HOOVER ASKS STATE
TO GIVE HER WHEAT
TO ARMY and NAVY

Colorado has been called upon by
State Food Administrator Thomas b.
-Stearns TO tighten its belt and send
all of its excess wheat to American
soldiers and sailors.
This latest wheat order emanating
from Herbert Hoover asks that every
public concern and individual report
to the nearest county food adminis-
traitor any flour on hand in excess to
a months supply before May l. A
months supply is estimated on the
basis of six pounds month for each
person.
In Colorado there are approximate
ly 100000 people and each one, un.
der the law. is allowed six pounds OF
wheat month. This makes the
monthly consumption OF wheat be-
tween now and the harvest amount to
"a 900 900 pounds-24, ,OO0, 900 that Col
orado can, IL she will, send to the
fighting line Of France.
I'VE are counting on the splendid
spirit Of Coloradoans to make 1t un-
necessary for the government thra
this Food Administration to comman-
deer the stored and boarded wheat.
Food Administrator Stearns declared
emphatically. but Americas fighters
must have Wheat and Americas al.
lies must be fed during these hours Of
their great need. and II Colorado
should disappoint US and refuse to re-
linQuish her excess store willingly We
will have to take 1t from her"
The Food Administration is making
arrangements for q storehouse In
which the flour will be cared for until
It can be loaded onto cars and sent
direct to some designated point.
Farmers may turn over their supply
to the nearest mill and elevator and
definite points are being named BY
county administrators at which indi-
viduals can turn over their wheat
supply.

COLORADO BAKERS SEEK
FOR WAEATLESS FORMULA

Loyal bakers in Colorado have been
spending their leisure time of late
plumbing the mysteries Of absolutely
wheatless bread. Wheat flour, in the
past. has always been used as the
binding ingredient in bread. and with
Il eliminated, bakers have been hard
pressed to find an adequate substi-
tute.
Various excellent samples OF wheat
less bread has been submitted to w.
F. Pritts, head of the bakers division
of the Food Administration. and It is
expected that a practical formula will
be discovered within a very short
time.
The necessity for n wheatless bread
faced the bakers of the state when q
large number of its leading hotels
volunteered to refuse to serve wheat
products of any kind until after the
wheat harvest

Poultry Ban Lifted

The Gods of Chickens turned their
heads away when the United States
Food Administration changed its
mind and lifted the ban against the
killing of poultry a week sooner than
had been contemplated.
According to the ruling made In
mid-winter.r freshly killea hens could
not be- sold between February % and
April 80. The amended ruling made
the sale of hens md young poultry
legal from midpigh. Of April 10.
Weather conditions which brought
about an early laying and Matching
period are given as the reason for this
change in ruling.
In lifting the restrictions. the Food
Administration appeals to the farmers
not to begin rushing their hens tc
market, but to send them gradually
and thus prevent flooding the market
which will result In heavy spoilage
