REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS.

In view of the large number OF in
quiries as to the reasons for the re
moval of restrictions upon the use of
sugar in households. ard especially
from the service of sugar in public
eating places, Federal Food Admins
traitor Leon S. Merrill has issued the
following statement:
Since its inception. the Food Ad-
ministration's policy has been 10 ad-
just its conservation requests With
conservation necessities and the pub
lie has shown its appreciation of this
frankness by immediate response.
lit may astonish the public to know
that during the months of July. Au-
gust, September, October and Novem-
Der this year, the American people
saved no less than 775,o00 tons of
sugar over their normal consumption
This conservation, of course. includes
the amount OF sugar saved by the re-
stric'ions placed on confectionery and
soft drink products
The Food Administra obiec
in asking for economy in the use of
sugar was to insure a supply that
would be adequate to meet the needs
of the Allies who would have to de-
pend on the same sources as the Uni
ted States as long as the war lasted
1t was necessary to take precautions
so that there would be a certainty Of
sufficient sugar through the wear
With the signing Of the armistice the
situation was immediately changed
just as it was with all measures TAX
en- with the needs OF a continuing
war in view. AS soon as the armistice
made change in our program nos
sibae, the restrictions were lifted.
While it is true that certain states
on the eastern seaboard are stfn lack
ing a plentiful supply Of sugar, it is
also fact that with the Cuban crop
almost upon us, we have a large sur-
plus of western beet sugar and I.ouis-
lana cane sugar and it is quite per-
MISSILE to return to the normal use
OF sugar wherever it is available. II
Is great relief to the Food Admins
tration TO feel that no extraordinary
sacrifice In the use Of sugar is re-
CURED OF our people until further no.
tice.
Until Mr.. Hoover's return. the
Food Administration will outline mo
definite campaign of saving on any
specified commodities. A great deal
win depend upon the supplies which
are found available in the various
countries of Europe and in the ar
rangements which arc made with the
Allied Food Council
THE people Of America are urged
10 eliminate waste rlg.div This adj
vice applies TO ali foodstuffs, inclnd-
ing sugar. from whicA the necessary
and artificial restrictions have now
been removed"

Power Of the Buzzard.
HUBBARD,

The power of the buzzard to sail
through the cir for long periods with
little or no apparent movement of the
wings is dueA to its expanse of the
wing surface. Birds with smaller wing
surface make up for this by rapidly
of the motion OF the wings.

April 20 we went to Cimarron,
Kansas, to a big invitation meet and
made somewhat of a different show
ing that we did at Guymon. We won
seven firsts including the mile relay.
We took only five men with us
there, one of them was sick and of lit
tie good. After the 440 yard dash,
Liberal was far enough ahead that we
had the meet won without any more
points, but the relay cup looked good
to us and we decided to win it for
L. H.
Each man on the relay team had
won a cup. Nix ran first, Harvey
Burns ran second, John Heaton third,
and lack Woods last. We won the
relay and the large cup.
Liberal won 48 points, Pratt "a,
Garden City 20, and st. John 10.
Our next meet was at Pratt, April
27. This was the Seventh District
meet and was much harder to win
than any Of the other two.

Miss Louise Wilson and Miss Mary
Etzold were host and hostess to a din
ner given in the domestic science
room Friday at 1890 in honor of
Miss Irene Etzold and Miss Mary

laid table was very pleasing. The
serving was beautifully handled by
the maids, Miss Edna Shorb and Miss
Dorthea Farmer under the direction
of Miss Ester.
Katherine Wilson spent the last

The seniors took on a very queer
appearance at chapel Friday morning.
Each wore cap made from the pa

Alma Mater, but we question whether
she will show her loyalty in just that
way.
