SUBSTITUTES FOR
WHEAT PLENTIFUL
Government Takes Action to
Guard the Public Against
Price Boosters.
PROFITEERIRG MUST CEASE
No Shortage in the Grains Suggested
for Use Instead of Wheat.
Officials Say.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Unwarranted
price increases in wheat flour substi-
tutes will not be permitted. The food
administration tonight gave warning
to dealers that they must not take
advantage of temporary shortages in
other cereals brought on by the heavy
demand the new baking regulations
has caused.
Many complaints reached Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover today that dealers
in the substitutes have raised their
prices.
Mills of the country" said Mr.
Hoover, ARE prepared to meet the
greater demand of housewives and
next few months. Lack of transpor-
tation is the only factor that VIII stand
in the way of proper distribution
throughout the country.
''At least one of the substitutes is
produced in quantity in almost every
part of the country. If any shortages
occur they will be local. The supply
of substitutes is ample to meet our
needs and it is expected that with the
freer movement of grains to the mills
and of the finished product to the con-
sumner lower prices than those now
prevailing will result.
1.-The normal tendency of local scar
cities would be to advance prices out
of line, with the cost of production and
distribution. Under the food control
act this will not happen. All licensees
dealing in food commodities who do
not give their customers the benefit
of fair and moderate prices viii have
their license revoked.
unlicensed food retailers who sell
at more than a reasonable profit will
have their supplies cut off through the
notification of all licensees by the food
administration forbidding them to re-
ceive orders for food from such re-
tailers'

U. S. LOST So SHIPS IN 1918
Work Of the Submarines, However,
Was Offset by Seizure of Ger
man and Austrian Vessels.

New York. Jan. 30.-In the twelve
months Of unrestricted warfare
launched against American and al
lied shipping by Germany one year
ago Friday, there have been sunk by
submarine, mines and raiders sixty
nine American vessels, totaling ILL.,
061 gross tons, according to a careful
compilation of records of sinkings
which have been made public during
the period.
Offsetting this loss OF American
vessels, most of which were sailing
ships, the United States since Feb
ruary 1 has added to her merchant
marine by the seizure Of former Ger
man and Austrian owned ships a total
of 107 vessels, having a gross ton
mage Of 6S6.949, leaving on the credit
side Of the American ledger in the
account with the Central Powers q
net gain OF SIS, 433 gross tons. The
loss Of life caused by the sinking Of
the sixty-nine American ships was
more than three hundred persons,
however.
The percentage of sinkings OF
American ships compared with the
number Of vessels which have sailed
through the war zone successfully is
small. Records of the Department of
Commerce show that for the period
beginning with February I, 1917, and
ending with December 1, there were
cleared from American ports in the
foreign trade ships aggregating H.
73S, 800 net, or approximately 24,S34,-
$50 gross tons The number of ships
making up the total of tons was not
made public by the department
Further offsetting the loss of ton
mage occasioned by the submarine
warfare, the United States, through
the shipping board, reQuisitioned in
American shipyards 426 vessels, total
ing more than million gross tons,
and contracts have been awarded for
SS4 ships, a large number of which
are now under way and are being
rushed to completion. In addition, the
shipping board October Is last placed
under government reQuisition 393
American vessels of more than $500
tons dead weight capacity, which al
ready were afloat and Immediately
assigned them to the task OF carry
ing supplies for the Allies and the

The COST OF war
BELOW ESTIMATES
Expenditure During First Seven
Months Less Than Half of
Sum Allowed.
WILL INCREASE FROM NOW ON
Government Now Spending q Million
a Day-Loans to Allies are
Less, Too.

Washington, Feb. 1.-GoYernment
receipts and expenditures for the first
seven months of the fiscal year up to
today, reported by the treasury, show
that actual OUTLAWS have been far less
than estimates made last June. For
ordinary war purposes, the govern
ment has spent about So, $50, 600, 900 in
the seven months, although estimated
expenses for twelve months were
81, 316,O00,00O Loans to allies, esti-
mated for the year at something over
$4,000. 100000, have been s3.141 ,OOO.-
600.
This, with the year more than half
gone, only about one-third of the esti-
mates has been expended.
Expenditures are increasing month
~ as the war department, shipping
board and other agencies made pay
ments on contracts let some time ago,
and if the same rate of increase as
reported for the last few months con-
tinues, the actual outlay between now
and next June 80, the end Of the fiscal
year, would be about S7,000,0 100000,
including allied loans.
Ordinary receipts in that time are
estimated at about So, 230. 100000 in
GLIDING S2,S6O,OOO.O 900 from internal
revenue and S4OO, 100000 from war saw
ings stamps. Thus, making allow
ances for $3.50, GOO now in the gen
eral fund and for 1890, 100000 certifi-
Gates on Indebtedness outstanding
which must be redeemed by June so.
the actual balance remaining to be
raised by bond issues or other means
would be somewhat less than s4,50O,-
600, 900.
This figure makes no allowance for
expenses which may be incurred in
government management of the rail
roads, and the proposed s5OO.O0O,000
revolving fund for that purpose, nor
for the contemplated creation of a
$500, 200, 900 government corporation
to finance private securities issues.
Elements OF uncertainty also exist in
the estimates of expenses in future
months, particularly for the war de
partment, and in the revenues to be
gathered from incomes and excess
profits under the war tax act.

SAVE YOUR SWEET POTATOES

What is the use of going to all the
trouble and expense of raising sweet
potatoes if you are going to let them
rot or freeze.
Rotten Potatoes wont whip the
Kaiser, but sound ones will, sweet po-
tatoes are high in food value, and
there isn't any use for me to tell
you how good they are, but that is
only one reason why we want to save
all we raise this year, we will need
them to eat, so lets have community
potato houses, scattered all over Cobb
County. Let some wide awake man
or woman in every neighborhood get
busy and build one. 1t wont be a
gamble, they have proved their
worth, get a Government bulletin and
read about it. then ask questions,
find out how small the cost of build
one will be compared with what you
will save.
