fleet. 1t is reported that F. l..
Sanford, Harry T. Kendall and
others will assist Mr.. Kirby.
1t is reported that the disa-
greement between the Shipping
Board and the Southern Pine AS
sociation, which is now happily
settled, was a result of a miscon-
ception of the duty Of a lumber
man. Many Of the Southern pine
mills have done their bit magni'
ficently, it is felt, but it has
been generally felt that there have
been some lumber mills which
have failed to realize the serious.
ness of the situation.
Chairman Hurley is reported to
have taken the position that the
emergency bureau or the associa.
ton should have known what was
going on in all the mills and to
see to it that if they were disin-
clined to do the best they can,
that they be made to hurry opera
tions.
Some of the Southern lumber
men think there have been some
unnecessary harsh talk about the
"failure' of the wooden ship pro-
gram, but it is understood that
the policy is to lot by.gones be
by-gones.

Flour For Bread Only Is
Ho0ver's Latest Food Order

Wheatless, means wheatless,
with no wheat in any food except
bread. The bread must contain
25 per cent of wheat substitutes.
In homes. the measure Of wheat
consumption permitted will be a
pound and a half a week for each
person, including all wheat and
flour used. In restaurants, Clubs
hotels and other public eating
places the quota will be six pounds
of wheat flour for every ninety
meals. No guest shall got more
than two ounces at any one
meal.
That is the latest ruling Of the
United States Food Administra-
ton, born Of the nations obliga-
ton and duty, and the scant sup
ply of flour left in the country.
It is more than a request this time
It is an order and it must be en-.
forced to the letter. 1t is either
that Or the punch card system in
order to obtain pound of flour, or
no flour at all for about two
months before the next crop is
milled.
Tho new instructions came in
the shape of a telegram from
Herbert Hoover, food administra-
tor to John M. Parker. Mr.. Par
ker said he would do his best to
carry it out, with the aid of the
patriotic people of the state.
The action was virtually forecast
by the urgent message of two
weeks ago to cancel exceptions
and draw the lines tighter. Many
have already drawn the lines
tighter than requested, and they
will help the Food Administration
in weathering the national flour
crisis.

Able Defense of Southern Pine

Washington, D. G. March 12.-
Thanks to the diplomatic skill
aF.L. Sanford, of Louisiana,

Ing between officials of the United

admissions and concessions
brought about in conferences here
during Sunday and Monday, after
MIR. Sanford had paved the way,
80 that now there appears to be
complete harmony, where only a
few days ago an open rupture be-

Southern pine organization seem
cd inevitable. The result is said
10 be a remarkable tribute to Mr..
Sanford's diplomacy, knowledge
Of human nature, business ability
and capacity for dealing with
men.
Lumber operators of the South
asked for a hearing before the
commerce committee but later
when all questions between the
Shipping Board and the Southern
Pine men were practically settled
the hearing was abandoned.
A lengthy letter however was
presented to the committee, in
which every detail Of the matters
in question was presented and ex-
planned by Mr.. Sanford to the en-
tire justification of the Southern
lumbermen.
Where last week chairman Hur-
ley Of the Shipping Board, was
quoted as declaring that the Sou
