$3.50 RULINGS
STILL IN FORCE
SAYS FOOD CHIEF

A misunderstanding which threat
ems to be serious has arisen in con-
nection with a recent order of the
Food Administration, releasing house
wives of Colorado who voluntarily
placed their homes on an absolutely
wheatless basis until harvest from
their pledge. This release from the
y-wheatless- pledge was in no
way intended to carry the impression
that the $3.50 rulings have been abol-
ished or that the wheat, saving pro-
gram should be cast aside.
'I,. spite OF the great harvest that
has been granted to America. wheat
saving must go on" declared Thomas
3. Stearns. Federal Food Administra-
tor for Colorado. 1T would be the
height Of hortsightcdness for the
United States. with bitter war ahead
of her and possible years of short
crops, to eat up her wheat now in
stead of creating a vast national store
house from which she and her Allies
can draw as long as war lasts

SPIRIT or FRANCE
CLOVIS IN Sacrifice
OF LITTLE CHILDREN

Much has been told Of the spirit
of France since the war began.
Many heroic things - victories,
sacrifices, courage beyond belief,
uncomplaining resistance to the
slow agony Of hunger, cold and
personal loss, have developed from
this marvellous, ideaiistic devc-
ton to their own land.
But listen to this tale, yc who
feel abused because your morning
is not as sweet as of yore:
Last winter sugar was scarce II
France, even as it is now, so scarce
that it was and is an almost un-
known luxury to many.
Officials OF the Red Cross de-
cided to invite the school children
of Paris to q luncheon. SO all the
small folks of the city were gath
cred together and fcasted on the
great cups Of chocolate which is
their delight, Win ,.. ample sup
nlv Of bread.
Then beua,tse candy IS no longer
made in France, because the land
of French pastry knows pastry 10
more, because there must be asur-
prise, a final treat, "bonnc
houchc," each little guest, out Of
the stores of the Red Cross, was
given to eat lump of sugar, one
of the half dominocs of loaf
sugar.
There were smiles Of thanks,
grateful words Of delighted ap-
probation from these children CT
Paris, starved for sweets through
so many weary months.
But thcn-a pause.
A few of the scores of children ate
their sugar joyously; others looked at
1t longingly; but most OF it was at
once whisked out Of sight, clasped
closely in little hands, slipped into
tiny pockets.
Then came surprised QuestioninEs
from those giving and serving the
luncheon-and whispered, half-shy ex-
plantations in response.
"Yes, yes, every ono loved sugar,
but and then it was discovered that
each small person had the same
thought, born of the wonderful spirit
OF France, quite without other prompt
ing.
II the sugar were taken home, saved
quite carefully. 1t might be put into
tiny box and sent to a soldier, fight
ing at the front for France.
We In America now arc asked to
eat not more than two pounds of sugar
month-which is far more than the
French are gettlng-in order that we
may send a part of our usual amount
to our own soldiers In France and that
we may share with these little French
patriots.
