DES MONIES, Iowa, July 31.-Har-

lis beginning all over Iowa, and in very
few sections Of the state are anything
but favorable reports heard.
In parts of southern and western
Iowa the rainfall was not distributed
in such a manner as to produce the
greatest benefit to the crops, and as a
result pasturage has suffered, and
oats, wheat, barley and rye failed to
produce as long a straw as is gener-
ally the case.
This condition also affected the hay
crops, which are somewhat short in
these parts of the state.
Central northern and eastern
Iowa, however. are enjoying the most
favorable kind of a season. Corn is

usual season, and except in replanted

health Women who drag through
long hours, days, weeks and some

Only TWO Pounds Per Person Per
Month Hereafter May be Pur-
chased for Family
Use.
HOTELS; RESTAURANTS
Public Eating Places, Including Stands
at Fairs Have Sugar Allotment
Cut in Same Ratio as
Households.

Only two pounds of sugar per per
son per month may be sold mouse
holds by retailers, beginning tomor
row morning.
The allotment has been three
pounds per person for some time, but
the needs of the increasing army
over there and the lessening supplies
make it necessary to cut down the
home consumption. Hence the above
order, promulgated through The Gate
City by ]. F. Elder, Lee county food
administrator, on orders from Wash,
ington through Administrator Deems,
The methods are exactly the same
as hitherto, but the quantity which
may be bought by any one household
in any one month is reduced one
third The quantity used for canning
is unchanged, and extra supplies may
be procured by farmers entertaining
threshing outfits, as before.
Public Tables and Home Gamers.
The same reduction is made for
hotels and restaurants and all public
eating places, including stands at
fairs and the like. These are re-
duced to two pounds of sugar for
each ninety meals served
Housewives are urged to can fruits
without sugar or with as little sugar
as possible, and retailers must sat.
isfy themselves perfectly that the
extra quantity bought for canning
and preserving is to be used for that
purpose alone.
The food administration has fun
confidence that the American public
will meet this reduction in sugar
consumption in its usual patriotic
spirit when it comprehends that this
action is as necessary as the ship
ping of shells to the soldiers fighting
from Rheims to scissors.
Is Essential Element in War.
The food administration explains
that upon our action here at home
depends the possibility of maintain.
ing the ration to our own fighting
men and those of the allies, as well
as OF avoiding still further reduc-
ton of the aIlotments to the civil
populations Of the nations fighting
Germany, which are already down to
a point far under their normal needs.
England. which before the war
used more sugar than the United
States, has already reduced its
household consumption to two
pounds. France allows it's people a
