Bid Farewell to White
Bread Tuesday Morning

Breakfast tables in the hotels,
restaurants and boarding
houses Of Nogales will be with
out wheat bread this morning,
and the festive "flapjack" will
be made without white flour.
This is in compliance with the
orders of the National Food
Conservation, and the rule is be-
ing put into effect in this city
under the direction of the local
branch of the hotel and restau-
rant division of the food conser-
walton service.
Local Chairman Ben Evans
said Monday evening:
"The new rule has been cheer
fully accepted by our hotel and
restaurant people, and l believe
from every indication that it
will be observed with universal
cheerfulness in Nogales. Sew
eral of the restaurant owners
seen volunteered to turn over
what white flour they had on
hand Monday evening, and there
were no indications of anything
but ready compliance with the
rule"
Chairman Evans and Leslie
Hardy made the rounds of the
Chinese and Mexican restau-
rants Monday afternoon, ex-
planning the law and the reasons
for it's enforcement, and they
were greatly pleased with the
ready acceptance of the situa-
ton by these places.
Present plans are to continue
the rule in effect until the new
crop of wheat comes on the mar
ket, which will be some time in
July. However, if the results of
the plan justify it, the conserva-
tiOn authorities may modify or
rescind the. rule before that
time.
Restaurant proprietors Mon
day laid in stocks of corn meal,
milo maize, rye and graham, as
all of these may be used under
the provisions Of the new rule.
/ Comment heard among pa
irons of the restaurants and eat
ing houses Monday was all pa
triotic, and might we'll be sum-
med up by this typical outburst
from an old prospecetor who de-
clared:
Indeed, I'd be glad to go
without much besides white
bread, to help win the war and
lick the kaiser. Going without
wheat bread for such a cause is
easy"

desired covering of the arroyo.
David Bankson was the SUE
cessful bidder, his bid b-.ng
$18,998, which was over $4,000
below that of Frank Loun, the
next highest. There were five
other bidders. Mr.. Bankson

completion of the work, but as
sured "The Oasis" that he ex-

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program IN
England. IL is true that the English
man buys Il loaf OF bread for less than
an American can, but IT is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $500, 10000 year toward the
cost OF II.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
az an arbitrary price aud the imported
wheat purchased on the markets 81
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over To the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf OF four pounds
to sell at lS cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf al D
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

The wholesale grocer has agreed 10

supposed TO take no more than 80 cents

Control Of Cane Ref'ners' Profits.
"Immediately upon the establish
ment Of the food administration" Mr..
Hoover sald, AN examination was
made OF the costs and profits OF retin-
ing and IL was finally determined that
the spread between the cost OF raw
and the sale OF refined cane sugar
should be limited 10 ST 80 pW hundred
pounds. The pre-war differential had
averaged about 80 cents and increased
costs We're found TO have been impOs-
ed by the war In increased cost or re-
finlng, losses, cost of bags, labor, insur-
ance, interest and other things rather
more than cover the difference. After
prolonged negotiations the retiners
were placed under agreement eStab-
fishing these limits on October l. and
anything over this amount 10 be agreed
extortionate under the law.
"In the course OF these investiga-
tions It was found by canvass of the
Cuban producers that their sugar had,
during the first nine months OF the
past year. sold for an average Of about
S424 per hundred T. o. b. Cuba. 10
which duty and freight added to the
refners' cost amount TO ABOUT SaGO
per hundred. The average sale price
OF granulated by various refinerieS. ac-
cordlng 10 our investigation, was about
$50 per hundred, or a differential or
s1S4.
"In reducing the differentlal to Sl.3O
there was a saving to the public of ~
cents per hundred. Had such dir-
ferential been in use from the lst or
January, 1917. the public would have
saved In the first nine months OF The
year about So, 10000"
Next Year.
With view to more efficient organ
iZation of the trade In imported sugars
next year two committees have been
formed by the food administration
l. A committee comprising repre-
sentatiyes OF all OF the elements OF
American cane refining groups. The
principal duty of this committee Is TO
divide the sugar imports pro rata 10
their various capacities and see that
absolute justice Is done To every re-
nner.
2. A committee comprising three rep
resentatives OF the English. French
and Italian governments; two repre-

ton. Only two OF the committee have

sent the allied governments. The du-
