SOLDIERS HAD
HOLIDAY DINNER
Men Stationed at Camp Randall
Thanksgiving, 1861, Ate
Turkey.

Madison, Wis, Dec.--A regulation
turkey dinner was served to soldiers
stationed at Camp Randall on the first
Thanksgiving Day during the Civil
War. Thousands of friends from all
over the state gathered here on that
day, bringing pies, pastries, fruit, and
other good things to eat. When the
hour for dinner arrived, an elaborate
feast was spread for the thousand or
more soldiers then in camp.
The commissary department reports
that lover fifteen hundred pounds of
turkey and chicken were served up
smoking hot" accompanied by extras
such as cranberry sauce, hot slaw,
sweet potatoes, etc, etc. The drilling
exercises of the forenoon had sharp
ened the appetites of the soldiers to
such an extent that the supply ofcakes
and pies, generous tho it was, ran
short before all were satisfied. The
bakers of Madison were appealed to,
and they rushed out an extra supply
of provisions and when the day closed
not a hungry soldier could be found.

ONEKINDOF
FLOURINA
WHEAT Mills
Grand Rapids Milling Company and
All Wheat Flour Makers in L. S.
Must Produce War Flour
Exclusively

The Grand Rapids Milling company.
under regulation of the United States
government, will hereafter manufac-
ture the standard war wheat bread
ordered by the food administrator. Mr.
Hoover. AS a result of this order the
company will stop the manufacture Of
patent flour until the regulations are
suspended, which will not be until
after the war. Patent flour cannot
be made as it was before under the
government rules and it was deemed
best not to use the old brand on the
new war bour. That will have a
special brand, indicating its patri-
otic purpose.
The new war flour will be a good
-four, darker in color but almost the
same in taste. 1t will be nearer a
whole wheat flour than anything which
has been sold in the past and hence
has many friends from the stand
point of health. The war flour will
be the only kind available to custom
ers after the present stocks are ex-
hausted, as all the mills in the coun-
try will be required to make it. The
flour of this kind to be turned out
by the local mill will be as good as
the best.
Price of Feed
The government also regulates the
wholesale price so that flour will sell
as cheap as it possibly can after TAX
ing into account the price of wheat
and the cost of manufacture of the
-four. In regard. to bran the govern
ment provides that the bulk price per
ton of 1000 pounds at the mill in car
loads shall not exceed SO per cent of
the average cost to such mill of one
ton of wheat at the mill, which cost
of wheat shall be the average lost
as shown by the previous months
records of such mill and shall include
one per cent administration fee paid
by the mill on all wheat ground. The
prices of other feeds are to be:
Shorts or standard middling, 81 per
ton over bran; mixed feeds, 81 over
bran; -four middlings, SO over bran;
red dog, SIS over bran.
Government Order.
The order in regard to flour is
quoted from the government circular
as follows:
mo icensee engaged in the bust
ness of milling f1uor and feed from
wheat shall, after Dec. 25, 1917, use
more than 264 pounds Of So pounds
