steps and increased prices.

The rationing regulations will be
effective July I. Every manufacture
err will be required to certify his
sugar needs to the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Missouri before he
can obtain sugar, Soda fountains arc
hit hard by the new regulations.
They are cut to so per cent. Pre-
served fruits for soda fountains must
adhere to this limit.
There will be no direct rationing OF
the householder. 1t would cost the
government S million dollars to put
the householder on a ration card and
would take the services of 100000
persons to carry it out. Every
householder is urged, however, to
limit the consumption to three
pounds 4 person a month.
Retailers may, as at present, sell rs
pounds of sugar to any one house
hold for home canning upon the
householder's certifying that she has
not bought elsewhere an dto return
any balance unused for this purpose.

ON SUGAR RATIONS JULY I
Home Consumption to Be Limited to
Pounds Person Month.

Drastic restrictions on the con-
sumption of sugar has been an
nounced by the Food Administration.
Home consumption will be limited to
three pounds a person month, while
manufacturers of less essential prod
ucts, including sweet drinks, will be
allowed only oper cent of their nor
NAL requirements. Ice cream makers
will be cut to rs per cent OF their
normal amount of sugar
This rationing scheme follows a
serious reduction in the available
sugar supplies of the United States
and the Allies. Shipping shortage,
sinking of sugar ships by submarines,
and destruction of sugar factories in
France have combined to create a
serious scarcity of sugar. Only strict
conservation will enable the Food
Administration to tide over the crisis
without being forced to more drastic

BATES COUNTY BOYS TO THE
TRENCHES
35th Division Take Their Places in
/ the Front Line.

Washington, June 29-The Thirty
fifth Division of the National Army.
made up of Missouri and Kansas Ma
tional Guard, is at the front in France
and may be involved in battle any
day. This was announced by Gen.
March, chief of staff, today during his
weekly conference with newspaper
men, in response to question which
had been asked regarding the divis-
ions whereabouts and activities.
The Thirty-fifth is finished divis-
ion. 1t was brigaded with the Brit
ish troops in Flanders upon its ar
rival in France several weeks ago for
training. 1t has now been returned
to Gen. Pershing's command as a
finished division, which means that
it is equipped for action on the bat
tie line.
Maj. Gen. William NJ Wright is
still in command of the division, and
Lieut.. Col Bennett Clark, son OF
Speaker Champ Clark, is with his reg
iment which is a unit of the division.
The division was trained at Camp
Doniphan, Fort Sill, Ok, and is said
to have reached a high state OF de-
velopment in the intensive training to
which it was subjected. That it is
now equipped and ready for the big
work at the front is the thrilling news
given out today.
That Gen. Pershing will take par
ticular interest in the performances
of this division, composed so largely
of men from his native state of Mis-
souri,, is assured. 1t is expected to
give a good account OF itself, and the
people at home probably will not
have long to wait for reports of en-
gagements in which this division will
figure.
