PLUCXING BOARD IS APPOINTED
Two Generals Are Placed on Commits

Efficiency Of Offices. e..
Especial to The Argus.)

Camp Dodge, Iowa, Feb. 13.-Na-
tional army men at Camp Dodge have
hung up a second record for the mill
tary forces Of the United States.
Less wheat flour per man has been
consumed by the Eighty eighth divi-
sion than any other national army or
national guard organization in the
country.
Special recognition from Washing
ton was given recently for the record
which topped all other divisions in
subscriptions to government war FISK
insurance. Ninety-eight and four
tenths per cent of all the soldiers at
Camp Dodge hold policies.
A communication from the quarter
master generals Office in Washington
shows thhe Eighty eighth division to
have used 80 and fraction hundredths
of pound of -four per man per day
since the organization OF the COM
mand last September. The next low
est is forty-seven hundredths and the
highest is sixty-one hundredths OF a
pound per man per day, reported from
Camp Funston, Fl. Riley, Kan.
Under Administration.
Steps to obtain a saving in wheat
-four were taken when the food ad-
ministration called for the conserva-
ton of this product. Much of the
credit is due Lieutenant Jack Fogarty
of Des Moines, commanding the bakery
company which prepares practically
all the bread eaten at the cantOnment
Captain Ben W. EastOn, camp cook
and commander of the school for
cooks and bakers cooperated with
Lieutenant Fogarty and instructed the
student cooks in methods whereby the
meals could be prepared with the
minimum amount of wheat flour.
Lieutenant Fogarty has developed
four different kinds of war bread
which are being served to the men
These breads contain but little wheat
-four and practically no sugar or
lard
Captain Easton, however. is not
satisfied with the fact the minimum OF
wheas -four is being used and is plan
ming menus whereby the soldiers will
have two meatless and two wheatless
days each week
Name Plucking Board.
Following instructions from the

officers was named at Camp Dodge

The members of the board are Briga-

der General William d. Beach, Col
onel Clarence E. Dentler and Major

A large number of officers are being
retired from the army at other camps
and some cases may be brought before
the board here. 1t has no jurisdiction
over charges of misdemeanors or other
matters which would be tried by court
martial, and will only pass on cases
where officers are reported by theil
superiors to be below standard.

Grocers Complain.
Many complaints have been made

that they have been going from store

unnecessary trouble for the grocers
and they request that the practice
