FOOD CONSERVATION
Sugar.


The signing of the armistice furth-
er improves the world situation as
far as sugar is concerned, and enables
the Food Administration to increase
the allotment for the months of Dec
ember and January, that is to say,
consumers will receive four pounds
per person per month instead of
three. All public eating places will
receive four pounds per ninety meals
served instead of three.
All Substitute Rules Rescinded.
You will understand that all sub
stitute rules are rescinded that is to
say, neither bakers, public eating
houses nor consumers are compelled
to buy and use substitutes in connec-
ton with their wheat flour.
Conserve.
The need of conservation, however,
is still with us. WE MUST NOT
WASTE. Furthermore boarding and
profiteering wherever found should be
reported to this office at once. There
will be no relaxation of the publica-
ton of prices by the Price Committee
All retail dealers in food must either
use the blackboard with the Fair
Price Bulletin marked plainly or
mark every article shown in the
Weekly Price List of the Food Ad-
ministrator, which they display for
sale, in plain figures large enough so
that customers will know the price
of such articles of fod before the
same is taken from the shelf, show
case or other container.

GRANT COUNTY WINS
CALF SHOW HONORS

Grant county cattle breeders who
attended the state calf show held al
Madison last week, came home with
their chests stuck out one or more
feet. The reason for this was that
Grant county boys and girls. won a
heap of prizes and in fact this coun-
ty led the entire state with it's fine
showing. The sum total for Grant
was four firsts, one second, 2 thirds
one fifth, Senior Champion and Grand
Champion. The winners ranged as
follows:
Senior ShorthOrn Calf Class.

grade steer-$50
Junior Yearling, Any Breed.
1st. Ted Scott, Bagley, grade steer
$50.
Srd. Lloyd Mccormick, Lancaster
$50.
The grade steer shown in this class
by Scott was also Senior Champion
and Grand Champion. He was sold
at SO cents pound and will be shown
again at the International Show this
coming week.
The sale calves brought from IS to
90 cents pound. The sale average
was % cents a pound.
While Grant county has better than
half the Angus cattle in the state ii
is a regrettable fact that but one
Grant county calf was shown in the
Angus class at the state show. Grant
county Angus breeders should begin
now to prepare for the kind of show
ing next year that this county with
its great Angus herds is entitled to
make.
The winnings for the county were
$3.50, one ribbon, silver cup and six
trips to the International show.

In a neighboring city not long ago
a band of men seized an old woman
in her home and dragged her through
the streets in an animal cage. What
do you think of this action? Does it
strike you as high-minded and in
keeping with American ideals-or does
it reek a little of things we have
damned? To us it seems a brutal,
low-lived action all the worse for the
