 other staple commodities already so
 controlled. Alphabetically arranged, the feeds, covered by the new regula- tions are:
 Alfalfa, animal or fish products or

BARGE AGAIN IN FAVOR.
Once Abandoned, It is Pressed Into
 Service to Carry Cargoes.

Boston, Jan. 25.-Tho old wooden barge, the OK of the sea, long de- prived of glory as bigger coastwise craft were built for the coal carrying trade, has come into it's own in these war time days of fuel shortage.
 The swift white winged schooners which supplanted it for the most part have sunk their four, five and six masts beneath the waves in obedience to the will of elements or, in the case of some which ventured across the Atlantic, from the attacks of the in sidious torpedo. The few that remain have been pressed into other service as have many of the iron steamers built to bring coal from southern ports to New England
 With the coming of the fuel crisis the slow going craft, strung often in tows of two, three or more in the leash of a powerful little tug, again was recognized. Barges that had been knocking about in New England waters without finding cargoes or tugs now command high prices, with little cargo space available. Few of them are on the market and the hulks of many ancient sailing ships, wrecked years ago and left deep in sand, have been salvaged, stripped of their masts and sent along the coastwise lanes in the humble guise of the barge.

against which the Associated Press re- gently secured an injunction to pre- vent the pirating of news, had walked straight into a trap set by the United Press to show that the Internatonal News was pirating the news of that organization.

 The United Pres early today lnsert- ed "Nelotslv'' in a despatch from Petrograd. but soon afterWard "kllled' 'this name to all it's papers. Within a short time, however, the United Press saws that papers receiving the Inter- national News service appeared with ..M. Nclotsky' figuring prominently in an alleged dispatch from London re- counting in a general way the same facts set forth in the United Press cable from Petrograd.
 The United Press says it made sure the NelotslIy story was sent over the wires of the International News The story was printed in papers receiving the International News service in Bos- ton, New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit Chicago, Kansas City, San Francisco and elsewhere

MUST HAVE TEAM PLAY.
Americans Must Unite in Sharing Food
 With Allies

In explanation of one kind of vaJu- able team play in winning the war, an official of the Connecticut headquar- ters of the United States Food Ad- miniStratiOn says:
 The United States is just us-you and I and the folks next door and the people across the way-just us. All the government does is our doing, It's strength is our striving; it's re- sources are our savings. What we do counts to make or break the power of the United States-every minute. every act-to save or destroy us. In all we do, all we spend, all We eat we must have care.
 Food is our first and last resource the dominant resource in this war. Our food supply is the final depend encc of our Allies; the food situation is the worst worry in Europe-worso now than when we began to figure On our food supply hangs their fight ing power, their chance of avoiding famine, their hope of survival. We have already shipped to Europe every grain of this years surplus wheat. To keep them going we must stretch our remaining Supply-eat more corn and oats and potatoes. We must send them more meat; eat poultry and fish and beans. That means team play going without wheat one meal every day and two days every week; it means going without meat one meal every day and Tuesday every week; no pork on Saturday; a weekly sugar limit of 3-4 pound apiece. Team play you and I and the folks next door. and the people across the way-will do all that needs to be done. Let's help"
