new FLOUR RULE
is ESTABLISHED
Victory Mixed Product Makes APP
pearEnce on Markets During
Month in Country.

Yesterday new -four regulations
became effective. Only one pound
of substitute will have to be pur-
chased with every four pounds of
/ wheat -four
Housewives will now be able to
purchase victory mixed -four, -
which contains the regulation
amount of substitutes for baking.
| This flour will be put on the mar
ket and sold at a price not higher
than the straight wheat -four
The rule limiting flour purchases
to one-eighth barrel in cities and
one-fourth barrel in the country is
abolished.
Rye -four, which has not been a
substitute may hereafter be bought
with wheat flour in the proportion
of three pounds of wheat -four to
two of rye, which is the usual mix
ture in making rye bread.
The substitutes most favored by
the food administration are corn
and barley, not only because they
are the best substitutes but be-
! cause the supply of these two is
larger than that of other cereals.
All grocers are required to have
either corn meal, corn -four or bar
ley -four on hand at all times to
sell with wheat -four
Other substitute flOurs, which are
kaf1iT, rice, bean, feterita, milo, oat,
potato, buckwheat, peanut and
sweet potato, may be sold at the
option of the purchaser. Mixed
ffours, known as victory mixed
f1ours," containing the required
amount of corn or barley, or both,
will be encouraged.
No change is made in the substi-
tute rule for bakeries, except that
the limit of 20 per cent of last
years consumption of wheat flour
for cakes, pastry, etc, is removed.
Bakeries must follow the mixing
order regulations, however, except
that in crackers only 10 per cent
of substitutes other than rye are
required.
Reginald Lenfestey, head of the
flour division of the Illinois food
administration, has issued posters
rules, which every grocer will be
requested to post in his store.
1t is the aim of the food admin
istration to regulate the use of
wheat -four in this country so that
it will correspond with that Of the
allies.
The recent survey of the food re-
sources of the 220OO0,0OO people of
the United States, England, France
and Italy who are fighting against
Germany, shows that to maintain
enough supplies and the necessary
reserve against disaster, there must
be maintained in all these countries
a conservation of wheat -four dur
ing the coming year.
1t has been agreed that the wheat
bread of all countries shall contain
20 per cent of other grains, and it

FEDERAL SERVICE
GETTING DOWN TO
REALLABOR WORK,

The United States employment
service is getting down to cases .
in finding unskilled labor for es-
sential war work 1t has served
notice that employment that is sim
ply personal service OF for per-
as war work
Also the employment service
makes an appeal to automobile own
ers to release chauffeurs, whenever
possible, and to consider well, be-
fore they buy accessories for their
machinesS whether they need the
work required to produce them as
much as the country needs it to
help win the war.
In an authorized interview. tele-
graphed the publicity department
of the state council of defense from
Washington, Nathan NJ Smyth, as
sistant director general of the
United States employment service,
gives the program and purpose of
that department as follows:
The community labor boards are
charged with the responsibility of
determining the methods which
shall govern the employment ser
vice in attempting to recruit fog
war work men from industries
which are not directly connected
with the prosecution of the war
The power to determine priority
among industries and to close up
essential industries by shutting
off supplies rests with the war in
dustries board.
The United States employment
service will follow the priorities
determined by the priorities board
of the war industries board, and
the employment service through all
its agencies will keep in systematic
and constant cooperation with the
other divisions of the government
concerned with the sman-power and
material program.
1T is within the province Of each
community labor board to list those
non-war industries in its commu-
nifty which will first be called upon
to contribute men to war work.
This does not mean that such
industries will be compelled to
close up or to discharge their male
employees at once, but that with as
much speed as may be necessary to
meet the national emergency, they
will release male workers.
We may as well face the facts.
Much work essential to our pro-
gram is being seriously retarded by
lack of unskilled labor. In this sit
uation, it is obviously wrong to
have able-bodied men continuing to
sell candy, cigars and like articles,
to be doing work in shops and
stores which might with reasonable
effort on the part of the employers
be entrusted to women, and to be
dancing attendants in clubs, bar
Der shops, soft drink establish
ments, bowling alleys, dancing
academies and elsewhere.
Our war industries are suffer
ing severely for lack of skilled me-
chanics. 1t therefore becomes a
burden upon the conscience of ev-
cry person who employs a chauf-
feur to determine whether such
employment is necessary or merely
for the qualification of personal
pleasure.
sMoreover every owner of an au-
tomobile should realize that every
time he spends $500 for automo-
bile accessories, supplies or re-
pairs, he is in effect determining
whether the working energies of the
country shall be devoted to winning
the war or to his own personal
uses.
THE time has come when, from
the standpoint Of conservation of
labor, We must all of us limit our
expenses to those things which are
essential"

When it is considered that the
Moose pay $500 and the Eagles $500

be seen that the amount to be paid
out by these two lodges will be large

THE FREE WORLD KNOWS-AND

The Inter-allied Labor Conference in
London agreed upon President
Wilson's fourteen war aims. Fitting
", these aims were presented to the
conference by an American, Samuel
Gompers.
The plain people of the world
know what they want; they know
what this war is about.
Some day perhaps even the German
people will find out what it is about
OF course, the German ruling class
will never understand they viii al
ways think of it IN terms Of the past

But the German ruling class is
having its obituary written by the
allied armies. The obsequies are
under way.
Lovers of Liberty everywhere see
great new day dawning; they see dem
ocracy in terms of opportunity to
write into human life a nobler code
than we have ever known-one that
can be translated into aetuality in
every life.
Solid support for our armies now,
every American doing his and her full
duty-no letup on anything anywhere

and an attempt to dictate his policy

The Ohio State Federation of Labor
in its convention held in Columbus

little bit. And for the same reason
they can't indorse Willis for fear of

Approximately 40, ,263,12o eggs will
be placed on the market throughout
the United States within the next
twenty days, according to an order
just issued by the Food Administra-
tion. Ten per cent of this amount
which represents the total storage
holdings in the country now, is to be
put on the market every two days,
until the entire storage supply is ex-
haUsted.
This means that within twenty
days there will have been thrown on
the markets, four eggs for every
man, women, and child in America.
II is more than likely that con-
siderable price reduction will be the
result Of the Older. With fresh eggs
now selling around a dollar a dozen,
and even storage eggs at 60 cents
per dozen, the effects OF the order
will be more than welcomed.
