Purchasers who claim to have wheat
! -four substitutes in their homes when
| they purchase wheat flour must so In
| person to the grocery, or other stores
| where the purchase is made, and there
sign the certificate to that effect. This
| was the rule adopted by grocers of the
city and county at the Marshalltown
Club Thursday night. Sixty-five dealers
attended, including practically all OF
this city and In addition a dozen or
more from the larger towns OF the
county.
The grocers passed a resolution
| binding themselves to compel purchas-
ers to sign certificates only at the
store. Such certificates will not be de-
for signature there. This rule was
adopted to prevent the abuse Of ~
substitution ordoe.
Cards. issued by the Western Grocer
Company, giving q schedule OF the
wheatless and meatlesS days and the
wheat -four substitute scale are being
distributed today in every home in the
city. School boys. organized in teams
by Superintendent Palmer are doing
this work
A dealer in flour reported at the
meeting that bran was being used
quite extensively in homes Bran. which
is a part Of the wheat kernel. and
by-product Of wheat flour milling, IS
not a wheat substitute.
Paper Hangers Must Use Starch.
The paper hanging season will soon
be here. The federal department rul-
ing on the ingredients Of which the
paste paper hangers use may be made,
is 10 per cent wheat -four and 80 per
cent starch Dealers were told that on
this basis. with each purchase OF wheat
-four for paste, the purchaser must also
buy fifteen pounds OF starch.
Groeers Willing to Cooperate.
The county food administrator found
the grocers willing to cooperate IN
every way to enforce its orders for con-
servat;on. They were warned that
they should keep posted on the changes
Of the rules as they would probably
be made from time to time and that
their ignorance Of the rules would not
excuse them. Meetings OF the dealers
with the food administration will be
held from time to time to further CO.

Question Of Naturalization.

A question regarding citizenship
that was raised at Melbourne and was
referred to the local exemption board
and by II to Judge Cummings seems to
be one that has been rather frequn'is
raised since the registration OF enemy
aliens began Monday. The quesIion
was whether child born IN this
country of alien parents was q citizen
when he reached his majority? the
federal statute says that such children
are citizens regardless Of whether OF
not their father became naturalized.
The case in which the question arose
wac that OF a young man who wanted
to register as an ahen enemy. He was
born in this country Of allen parents
he said. but he was quoted as saying
that the exemption board OF this city
had exempted him because he was an
alien.

BE BRIEF; USE MAILS NOT
 WIRE REQUESTS GOVERNMENT

PHOENIX, Aug. 30-A circular let ter has been sent to all Liberty Loan committees and banks in the twelfth federal district from Chairman Lynch al San Francisco saying 10 be brief. use the telephone and telegraph only when letter will not serve The text of the letter reads:
 With view of actively co-operat- ing in our national government ef- fort 10 practice the strictest possible economy in these times of extraor- dinary expenditure necessary 10 sue cessful conduct of the war. you are particularly requested and urged to refrain from using the telegraph and charged 10 the government (through it's fiscal agen; ,he Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco, or through the Liberty loan general executive board) if your communication can just as well be sent by mail without impair ing their effectiveness.
 Telegrams should be brief and pointed, bear only one signature twhere practicablel. and in all in.  to numerals. Attention is also call ed to the fact that night rates are cheaper than day rates. Night ser. vice should therefore be used if con. ditions permit.
