U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Effective Organization Of Eureka
County by Districts Complete
and in Active Operation for
Food Regulation

The United States Food Admins
t~ration is one Of the most thorough
" organized and effective Of all the
Federal bodies for carrying on the
various phases Of the war activities
AT the head Of the Food Administra-
ton is Herbert Hoover, who admin
listers the regulations in the several
States through State Food Admins
traitors. In each State the organiza-
ton has been planned to be complete,
reaching to the smallest districts.
The States are organized BY counties.
and the counties. by districts. such
as needed.
In Nevada, County Food Admins
traitors have been appointed for the
several counties. The organization
of Eureka County. which has been in
operation for some time, is as fol-
lows: County Food Administrator.
Charles Priest; local chairman for
the smaller divisions: Eureka, w.
H. Russell; Ruby Hill, /. H. Rogers;
Prospect, Herbert Burdick; Union
Mines, Mrs. James A. Gilbert; Ton
kin, Bernard Damele; Palisade, ]. E.
Sexton; Beowawe. F.. E. Leonard.
The Federal Food Administrator
for Nevada is II. A. Lennon, and
the regulations are sent out to the
different grocers. millers. bakers.
hotels. restaurants, etc. from State
headquarters at Reno.
The people Of Eureka County for
the most part have shown a willing
disposition to cooperate with food
authorities in living up to the regu-
~lations, states Food Administrator
Priest. and only in rare cases have
unreasonable requests been made of
the food administration to have
the regulations set aside. The food
regulations have been imposed as a
military necessity and not to work
a hardship on the people. BY volun-
tarily doing all within our power to
live up to the regulations we al
show our patriotism and perform a
very great service to the country
and help u boys who are fighting
in Europe. The regulations have
been made as broad and liberal as
the circumstances would permit, and
in special cases provision has been
made so as not to work unnecessary
hardship on anyone.
w. H. Russell. j. B. Bale, and
Frank c. Lewis are the Food Con-
servation Committee for Eureka; and
to them should be reported any in
fractions of regulations. In matters
of a local nature the district chair
men should be consulted. In no case,
however. must there be allowed a
setting aside of the regulations ex-
cept by order of the State Food Ad-
ministrator.
The inventory that was made in
April by order of the Food Admin
stration showed the following
amount of wheat, -four and other
wheat products. and sugar on hand
in the County:
Wheat. 32.213 pounds: -four IS. Sal
pounds; other wheat products. Is, 1886
pounds; sugar, 1881 pounds.
The regulations regarding the sale
OF flour and sugar must be carried
out. The people should do this
voluntarily; but in Ease the people
wish to have the ruling set aside, the
grocers are not permitted to do so.
The sale of substitutes with wheat
flour is mandatory and has no ex-
ception. The county food admins
traitor can not set aside this regula-
ton, and certainly the grocers can
not.
County Food Administrator Priest
wishes to state that under war con-
ditions the grocers and dealers have
a hard enough time in supplying the
people, and the people should do
their part in carrying out the food
regulations of the Government.
Do not make requests of your grocer
for food that IL not oIlouod AL
