Statements Must be Filed


All manufacturers of less essential
food products who require the use of
sugar must file statements by June
10th, 1918. These statements must
cover the amount of sugar used dur
ing the first four months of 1918;
sugar on hand at time of making
statement; normal requirements until
July 1, 1918, and conditions of their
business whether increasing or de-
creasing, and reasons therefore. All
information given, other than the
figures of the regular statement, must
be brief and to the point.
Use the Proper Statement
Statement A is for manufacturers
of non-essentials, such as soft drinks,
soda waters, fruit syrups, confections,
etc. Don't use statement A for es-
sential products. Statement B is for
ice cream, and other essential food
products plainly listed under the
heading Statement B" Don't get
mixed on the statements.
Report Sugar on Hand
Manufacturers who have stocks of
sugar on hand must report such
stocks, whether they require more
sugar prior to July 1st or not. Failure
to make such reports will result in
denial of any amount of sugar after
July 1st. These reports must be
made by June 10th. If a manufac-
turer has large amount of sugar and
thinks he will have no occasion TO ap-
ply to the food administration, and
does not take cognizance of this rule,
he will suffer the penalty for his fail
ure to make reports, and furthermore
is IN danger of being tried for hoard
ing.
The Merchants Obligation
Every merchant, whether whole
sale or retail, is obligated to see that
these rules are enforced as far as his
end of the transaction is concerned.
A merchant must not deliver sugar to
manufacturers of any kind unless GER
tifcates are given him covering the
purchase. These certificates must be
properly signed by the food admins
tration officials and also by the pur-
chaser. Home canning or preserving
certificates must be honored only
when the merchant is positively sure
that person making application signs
the certificate and declares that the
sugar is to be used as stated on the
certificate.

The Germans no longer hurl them

The Germans no longer hurl them
selves at the Allied lines along ex-
tended fronts. The momentum of the
Teuton advance appears to have ex-
hausted itself, while the lines of the
British and French have stiffened and
hold the enemy, except for insignifi-
cant gains here and there.
Details of the fighting in which Am
erican units participated show that
Pershing's men have gone into battle
with magnificent spirit. In the de-
tense of the bridges across the Marine,
they repulsed the enemy in decisive
manner. Their rifle fire prevented
the Germans from making further
serious attempts to cross the Marine.

Present County Officers

It appears to be the consensus of
opinion that all of the Republican
County officers, that are now serving
the people so efficiently at the Court
House, are all entitled to re-nomina-
tons if they want them. 1t is the
first term for most of them, we be-
lieve with one exception and that is
Bert Bever, clerk of the Circuit Court.
He has been elected, and reelected
so many times that he is now a per-
manent fixture in that office on &C.
count of his popularity and efficiency
in the discharge of the duties of his
office. The attorneys in the County,
and the Circuit Judge of the Circuit
Court, depend largely on Mr.. Bever's
efficiency for the proper filing and care
of valuable papers that go thru his
hands in his Office that have much to
do with litigation in which titles and
other important matters come up for
disposal. The efficiency of public SER
vice at the Court House, not only by
the County officers, but by the excel
lent corps of young lady deputies who
give every person who has business
at the Court House such courteous and
prompt service. We believe that we
are perfectly safe in making the state
ment. that never before has Wood
County had any more efficient service
in the various offices at the Court
House than they are now enjoying.
This being the case, why consider any
change? We don't believe there is
any good reason for any, neither do
we believe the people want to make
any change. Their nomination, as far
as their party is concerned, should be
unanimous and without any opposi-
ton.

Portage counties which will be held in
the city of Marshfeld Friday June
21st at o'clock P. M.
Mr.. August H. Vogel of Milwaukee
has been appointed Chairman of the
Regional Industrial Committee Num-
Der II embracing all of Wisconsin
except the extreme northern counties
and Mr.. W. H. Roddis, Pres. of the
Roddis Lumber and Veneer Co. has
been deputized to call this convention
under the auspices of the Marshfield
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Vogel has
divided the state into natural subdis-
tricts and it is his purpose to have a
representative from each of these dis
tricts comprise the state organization.
The Wisconsin district is one of
twenty such districts established thru
out the United States and is set aside
by the resource and conversion sec
ton of the War Industries Board,
which will have absolute control of all
the manufacturing resources of the
country and will determine what Sec
ton of the country can produce an
article which is wanted, most economi
cally and with the greatest expedition.
This plan will eliminate the neces-
sity of going to Washington for con-
tracts disturbing the government of
ficers at great trouble and expense
| to themselves.
Mr.. Vogel states that the state COM
mittee will maintain headquarters in
Milwaukee where a permanent secre-
tary will be employed to handle the
industrial inventory asked for by the
war industries board to handle pro-
posals, draw bids, standard samples,
| etc.
At Washington there will be a per-
manent bureau representing the state
with secretary who will look after
Wisconsin's interests at that end of
the line. Mr.. Vogel states that the
| great object of the new organization
is to put an end to the present central
ization of government contracts in the
East already so congested that hous-
| ing, labor and transportation condi-
lions are in a deplorable shape.
1t is a generally recognized fact
that this could not continue and that
there must be a wider distribution
and a better allotment of contracts.

become interested in the same ends.
When a man becomes a Trade at
Homer, the relations he forms with
his home business men is not confined
to the deal across the counter. The
two parties find they have interests
in common.
The resident becomes interested to
see changes that shall help the bust
ness men. The business men are led
to favor propositions that residents
wish to see brought about. On that
foundation Of reciprocal interest town
growth is brought about.
Somewhat later in the season, the
Wood County Reporter proposes to
give some report of a new organiza-
ton formed here, The Bury the Ham
mer Club.

IMPORTS Of silk manufacturers for The FIRST nine
months Of he fiscal year 1918. ended March 81 last
show decrease from the nine months ended March.

900 over the 1915 period This is due in part to restrc-
hons placed upon trade BY the war trade board imported
silks beng elassed Injuries, and in part to nsn
sive application Of manPOwer Italy and France to the
business Of war;
These cargo spaeesavng restrictions is understood
have not YET been applied to imports from Japan and it is
noted that there has been steady increase Of japanese silk
manufacturers invading the American market Coinc-
IDENTIFY there has been steady increase in the amount of
raw silk skeins which " have imported from Japan
while the average pound import price has shown marked
increase During the 1914 PERIOD before the war broke
out the average pound price Of raw silk in skens imported
from Japan was $345, and imported nearly l6000-
900 pounds during the 1916 period we imported H.
100000 pounds at average pound price Of $780, for
the 1917 PERIOD 100000 pounds average price
$3.50. and for the 1918 period, n 100000 pounds,
average price $5.37.
The chief increase, in silk manufactures imported from
Japan are in the items fabrics woven IN the piece, and
wearing apparel. The value Of the former during the
1913 period was $l,376,O0O twice that in the 1915
PERIOD $4 l92 900 in the 1916 PERIOD $6,39l 900 for

OF the latter SAL 900 for the 1913 period. $650000
for the 9l7 period and So 1000 for the 1918 period

so per cent Of that total.
