EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS
SENT TO BOYS OVER THERE

Dear Paul:
! Its great to hear you are getting
such good food over there. l wouldn't
have believed 1t, but l guess the
Americans can take care of their boys
in spite of food shortage and million
other troubles. Your mother recounts
them to me daily. Her mind seems
to run upon food these days, and ]
must say that she gets some of the
most peculiar inspirations. But her
dishes taste all right although l don't
know what Pm eating half the time,
and she will never tell me. do have
my suspicious sometimes when we
have soup SO often, the hash you rave
about, or when croquettes usually fol
lew the chicken dinner of the night
before. Her one vulnerable point is
her pride in sugarless cakes, pies and
buildings, (made of honey or corn
syrup. Jane says) and wish | could
send you some of them. But perhaps
you can buy ? Z. M. c. A. variety OF

AVOID DIFFICULTY IN OBJ.

Work Of Threshing Division to Be Con-
tinued in observation-disclosures Show
Supervision Has Saved Thousands
of Bushels of Grain.

To complete the seasons work in a
thorough manner, owners of threshing
machines, binders and all grain han
ding equipment are asked by the
Threshing Division of the u. S. Food
Administration for Wisconsin to put
them in readiness for next season.
Repair parts should be ordered at
once as implement factories have in
formed the Food Administration of
heavy demands for raw material,
shortage of labor in their plants and
pressing war contracts.
"An additional advantage in order
ing repairs and extra machinery this
fall is the exact knowledge of what
is needed" said Magnus Swenson,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin.
Next spring some of the repairs may
be overlooked with consequent danger
of nishap and delay when every hour
will count heavily.
I'VE are going TO continue superyis-
ing threshing next year as the plan Is
saving US thousands of bushels of
grain which would otherwise have
been wasted according to the report
blanks farmers are mailing us.
"A total estimate of the amount
which Wisconsin has saved through
observation of the clean threshing
rules will be given out after all the
report blanks have been received and
added"

EXCEPTIONS GIVEN TO
EATING PLACE ORDERS

In answer to many inquiries con-
corning the new regulations for eating
places, the Food Administration has
deemed it necessary to explain several
exceptions to the rules.
Sandwiches are excepted from the
restriction in Order on the amount of
bread that may be served because so
many people, particularly patrons OF
lunch counters make one daily meal
entirely of sandwiches, and a substi-
tute is difficult to find.
Poached eggs or Clipped beef on
toast are not forbidden by Order IL,
but .garnishing with toast.
Ham and eggs or bacon and eggs
are permitted by Order " but not two
kinds of meat.
Any difficulty in finding way of
disposing of waste to hog breeders or
garbage reduction plants should be re-
ported to the Food Administration.

FARMERS TO SIGN
MILL FEED PLEDGES

Every farmer who obtains a supply
of mill feed must sign a pledge that
he will not use them for any other
purpose than the feeding of dairy cat
tie, poultry, young pigs or calves or
the preparation of a weekly bran mash
for work animals, and that they will
not have more than go days supply
Oh hand.
Notices are being sent this week to
all mills in the state by the Food Ad-
ministration asking them to have
these pledges printed on one side of
a pamphlet and an address by Hoover
on the necessity of conserving wheat
mill feeds on the other.
The signed pledges must be kept on
file by the mills so that they will be
available to inspectors.
