SAVE MORE WHEAT
Hoover Issues New Regulations That
Each Person Shall Not Eat Over
Six Pounds Of Wheat Flour
Per Month-Hotels Must
Adopt Same General
RatlonIng Plan.

Mr.. Hoover announces new meth
cd OF carrying out the savings In
yolyed In our necessary wheat con-
seryatlon. There Is today even less
wheat available for the American peo-
pie until the next harvest than was
indicated on March LIST.
To make definite the amount OF
wheat products that can legitimately
be used by each person II the wheat
we have Is to last until our next
harvest, II Is asked that householders
adopt as a maximum ration OF wheat
-four Tor It's equivalent contained IN
such wheat products as victory bread,
macaroni, wheat breakfast cereals,
etc.) one and one-half pounds OF
wheat -four per week per person, or
six pounds per month per person.
Continued observance Of wheatless
days and meals will aid householders
in meeting this new requirement, but
in view of this ration we will not hold
that wheatless days and meals are OBJ
ligatory in households.
Beginning this week the present
beefless and porkless Tuesday Will be
suspended for the next thirty days.
Owing to the continued heavy run OF
hogs to market the car shortage dur
ing the winter, which still continues,
and the shortage of ships for trans
port abroad, our limited storage ca
pacity in this country has made ne
cessary this temporary suspension.
The large supply Of potatoes and milk
and this temporary removal of the
meat restriction should be used by
our people to facilitate an enlarged
savings of breadstuffs and wheat pro-
ducts. 1t must not be considered by
consumers a departure from the gen.
eral principles of food conservation,
The need of food on the other side
and the need of economy In America
is greater than ever.
Beginning today all hotels, restaur
ants, clubs institutions and other pub
lie eating places must adopt the same
general rationing plan on wheat pro-
ducts as is now outlined for house.
holders, which, in its practical appli'
cation to public eating places, means
that they shall adopt as maximum
ration of wheat products as Victory
bread, macaroni, etc. Of six pounds
of wheat -four for every ninety meals
served. In addition thereto such pub
lie eating places must not serve to
any one person at any one meal
total of any products containing in
the aggregate more than two ounces
of wheat -four. In these public eat
ing places the continued observance
of wheatless days and wheatless
meals is essential. No wheat pro-
ducts should ever be served unless
especially ordered. When the Food
Administration speaks of '"wheatless
meals 1t means that there shall be no
wheat -four served in any food ex-
cept that in Victory bread.
This program as to hotels and 9TH
err public eating places is to be en-
forced by inspectors and investigators
and violations reported will, if proved
be followed by premitive measures
Immediately.
Meatless Tuesday is also suspend
ed in public eating places for the next
thirty days.

FRIDAY. JULY 12, 1918
THE FOURTH

The Fourth of July was duly
observed this year. The day had
a significance that it never had be-
fore. The United States have al
ways observed the day with more
or less interest, but TINS sear, for
the first time, it was observed by
many of the liberty. loving people
on the other side of the big pond.
In England. the ablest men of the
nation, were very fei!citious about
the day in their speeches where the
day was being celebrated. Lord
Randolph Churchill declared that
the declaration of independence is
now accepted by Great Britain
and by all the allies, who are fight
ing for what it contains.
The time was when the spirit of
the Fourth of July was not appre-
ciated by the British people, and
any reference to it brought bitter
memories of hatred, but now they
see that the colony they lost then
will save them from destruction
now, and they have long since ad-
mitted that this country builded
greater than even the United States
knew.
The spirit couched in the decla.
ton of independence is going to
bring to the allies a richness Of
meaning and eventually freedom
they have never known before.
When this world was created it
was not intended by the great cres
ator that the masses should be op
pressed by the classes. and while in
many sections this condition has
obtained, the edict has gone forth
that all people shall be free. The
acceptance of this spirit BY a large
portion of the world means better
conditions the world over when
this cruel war ends.

AMERICANS IN FRANCE

Australians and Americans make
a good combination and together
are demonstrating their efficiency
on the British front in France. The
commonwealth of Australia is one
of the most advanced of democra-
cies with an Anglo-Saxon popula.
ton and civilization for its basis
that makes self-government more
than an experiment.
The Australians and Americans
have therefore an affinity of spirit
as well as the same language and
,kinship in blood.
Australians are great readers of
American literature. American
magazines. it is said, have larger
circulation there than those of
England, and new American books
that gain popularity at home can
count confidently on large Aus
tralian sale.
A large number of the more
than a million American soldiers
now in France because of their in
experience have been brigaded
with the veterans Of the British
and French armies. In other words
they are treated as recruits. They
will get all the experience and
training necessary in that way, and
then it will be practical to COM
bine them all in one great Ameri-
can army that will likely make it.

SIX PER CENT INCREASE
Times-Picayane Finds Cotton Com
ditions Best in Years


The Times Picayune of New Or
leans. in pursuance Of its usual Gus
tom, presents the replies Of its cor
respondents on the cotton crop as
of date of July |. The consensus
of opinion, as shown BY these re-
ports, is to the following effect;
First There has been a general
increase in the acreage, varying in
different states. Taking the belt
as a whole the gain has been about
six per cent.
Second-The condition Of the
crop is generally excellent, the
best in years, except in parts of
Texas. where drouth is COM
planned Of.
Third-The supply of labor is
deficient in varying degrees in diff
ferent states, owing to the draft
and the exodus to industrial CEN
tiers; but fine weather has facili-
tated proper cultivation.
Fourth-The boil weevil are
numerous and active in southern
Alabama and Georgia and over
areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and
Florida.
Fifth-There has been an in
creased use of fertilizer of gener-
ally better grade.
Sixth-Startine somewhat late,
the crop has progressed so well
under favorable conditions that it
is now about normal in point of
progress to one week late. The
main fear now expressed is the ef.
feet of labor scarcity later on and
the extent of the ultimate ravages
by the boil weevil pest.
