FOOD REGULATION BEING
BETTER UNDERSTOOD
No Hardship II We An Set Osrselves
to Fellow Them Carefully.


Gunnison merchants are finding It
comparatively easy to observe the reg
ulations Of the food law, altho . few
knotty points remain to be untangled
as to just what the meaning Of certain
rules may be.
For instance, there was. the provision
Of purchasing equal weights oS cora
and other cereals whenever one pur-
chased wheat This has been inter
peted TO mean iifty-hfty IN price. Thst
Il, in buying . Is pound sack Il hour
it is not necessary TO buy 26 pounds Of
oatmeal. or package goods, but Just
an equivalent IN VALUE selected
from the many substitutes These
"other cereals" have also been en-
larged BY adding pinto beans and pota-
toes in limited quantities Of 25 per
cent. That is, II you buy . dollars
worth Of wheat -four, you must buy .
dollars worth Of the substitutes. but
can have 25 cents Of this in pinto
beans (Mexican) or potatoes.
The problem Of one delivery . day
is working out satisfactorily, altho
groceries and meat markets find once
in o while q person who does not un-
derstand that these rules are made by
the national food administration to
help US win the war, and the local mer-
chant is in no way responsible. West
Gunnison has its delivery in the morn
ing at ten o'clock, or at two O'Clock
houses the delivery rig starts at $3.50,
so you can govern your phone orders
accordingly. No soliciting is allowed.
A point comes up in connection with
the sale Of bread on wheatiess days.
These are Mondays and Wednesdays,
whereon absolutely no wheat products
are supposed to be sold. But, it il as
serted in some quarters that this does
not exclude sale, on these days, by the
bakers Of the so-called victory
bread" containing twenty per cent
substitutes.
There seems to be no ruling on that
particular point, altho It is believed
such sale Is allowable.
Graham -four and whole wheat -four
cannot be included Is Substitutes"
but they may be sold on all days ex-
cepting wheatless days, without re,
quiring equal purchase Of substitutes.
Graham crackers, war crackers and
oatmeal crackers can be sold ON wheat
less days.
Ths substitutes sold IN connection
with AOur must be for hunan CON
sumption, for instance ynu cahubt 1uy
corn for chickens or meal for the COW
and call It . substitute.
You can buy canned pork and beans
on meatless days, becanse the substi-
tuition Of beans is very desirable and
the amount Of pork used Is exceed
ingly small, rs any one knows who has
hunted for the hunk in can Of beans.
Also you can buy oleo or butterine on
Tuesday or Saturday, because it saves
butter, which is desirable.
The substitutes for -four, all equal
quantity Of which must invariably be
purchased, are CORN MEAL, CORN
FLOUR, RYE FLOUR, EMMER
FLOUR, BUCKWHEAT FLOUR, PO-
TATO FLOUR, CORN STARCH,
SOYA BEAN MEAL, BARLEY
FLOUR, OATMEAL, ROLLED OATS
ETC; ALL PACKAGE CEREALS
WHICH DO NOT CONTAIN ANY
WHEAT, RICE, HOMINY, ETC.

committees having in hand the various
phases CT the transportation problems
are gradually coming to the poilt
where substantial hopes of an early
remedy for port congestion in New
York and other North Atlantic cities
may be entertained.
If the Southern ports had been used
as they ought to have been, there
would have been no congestion at all

New York is great city and its
harbor is one of the finest in the
world, but New York is not equal to
the task of handling al the overseas
commerce of the United States, and
the interests which control the rail

prosperity of one port,

MANAGING THE RAILROADS

There seems little doubt that the
most important result following gov
eminent operation Of the railroads
will be the practical education it af
fords with reference to the railroad
problem. There are few close students
OF our transportation system in Con
gress and the inability of the legisla-
tors to acquire anything like a thor
ough knowledge of the operation of the
railroads by a study from the out
side has doubtless been responsible
for the enactment of many unwise
laws which handicapped rather than
facilitated the development of rail
road system calculated to meet the
transportation demands of the nation.
especially in this time of great emcr-
gency. The action of the government
in taking over the roads offords the
greatest opportunity ever offered Con
gress to educate itself thoroughly and
practically in the railroad question
Great and good results are sure to
come, Much of the old Sregimc's
mismanagement will be eliminated
by u series of saner laws that will
guarantee a greater measure of JUS
tice to railroad employees and high
err degree of transportation efficiency
TO the public. The change is prophe-
tic indeed of many much needed re-
forms and was doubtless made by
the president because he had seen
enough of the conduct of the old re
gime to convince him that the rail
roads under its operation could not
hope to NEE. the country's needs in
the present crisis
Why, for instance, is it possible
for Senator Hitchcock in MS spenC-
i'll support CT bills for a war cabinet
and munitions director to assert that
the country's transportation system
has broken down and is a gigantic
wreck with 100000 tons of freight
piled up in New York awaiting ship
ping facilities? Why all this freight
piled up in New York? Why not pile
some of it up al savannah, Charles
ton and other southern ports? New
York is indeed a great harbor and is
capacitated for handling much of the
country's shipping, but where is the
wisdom OF piling 100000 tons of
freight up at this one port? The
answer of w. G Lee. head of the
Railway Trainmen, to Chairman Lane
OF the railroad wage commission is
doubtless correct Mr.. Lee stated

pected, and what other course could
the government pursue other than to
take over the operation of the roads? ?
We hear Immediately Of great quanti-
ties of freight being routed to south
ern ports.
Woodrow Wilson is now in the game
and New York as converging center
for all Faods and all freight loses
much of its Importance. The vital
interests of the country demand that
the freight move speedily to Atlantic
ports so that it may be shipped at
once to Europe In his deep earnest
ness and unquestioned wisdom in
moving freight to the ports with ut

ed to remind himself that New York
is the only port to which he freight
can be moved Hence the cry that

The payment to high officials Of
railroads of unreasonably high sala-
ries in some kind of scheme to screen
from the public the fact that the rail
road properties earn fair dividends,
and ether designs to keep Congress
and the public ignorant of the actual
earnings with view, perhaps, of en-
aiding the railroad managers to ac-
quire new rights and privileges from
the government that otherwise would
not appear equitable for the public,
did much to becloud the true condi-
items under which the old management
operated Not the least harmful re-
suit, Of course, was the suspicion and
unrest this course constantly excited
in the minds Of railroad operatives,
and much of the old managements
labor troubles can he traced to its
lack of good faith with both its opera
lives and the public. Unions of every
federated union of the smaller unions
gave to labor the power syndicatism
which was and is its only answer to

Under the management of Dircc-
or General McAdoo the country can
reasonably expect the speedy elimi-
lation of such abuses and many others
esultant from the devotion of the old
management to the financial inter
ests in New York which it so faith
fully served.
For many months to come the in
rigues of salaried officials of the old
regime and New York capitalists who
own the roads may be expected to
manifest themselves against the Nc
Adoo manaiE ment, but it is not too
much TO expect that the government
will move untlinchingly forward in
is efforts and determination to evolve
IN intelligent railroad policy that will
promptly and efficiently meet the
transportation needs of the country.
