HOTEL MEN FOLLOW
ADVICE OF DR.. LADD
Adopt Resolutions at Conference TO
Eliminate Wheat From Their
Menus at Once.

DR.. E. F. Ladd, food administrator
speaking before fifty North Dakota
hotel and restaurant men in session
at the Gardner hotel Friday after
noon, made the statement that flour
viii be a scarce article on the market
in two months time.
The federal administrator predict
ed that in some parts of the country
-four would be used up by that time,
and he advised his listeners to begin
eliminating wheat from their menus
at once If possible, or as soon as sub
stitutes could be had.
Hotel and restaurant men, who met
in conference at the call OF A. II.
Leimbacher, chairman of the hotel
and restaurant mems committee,
adopted resolutions to discontinue
the use Of wheat flour and wheat
products in their establishments un-
til the next crop is harvested.
The federal food administrator for
North Dakota decried tie lack Of
legislation to fix prices for wheat
flour substitutes as the price Of wheat
had been regulated. He stated that
when Congress passed the law regu-
lating the price Of wheat, It was pre-
dicted at that time that the law
would regulate the prices of other
commodities to be used as substi-
tutes.
The reasoning has proved falla-
cious," said DR.. Ladd. while the
cost Of corn has been about so per
cent of that Of wheat, it Is now high
er than wheat. This, / believe, is
due TO the fact that the Chamber of
Commerce is allowed TO speculate in
corn"
r.. Ta55 5,.1,~-.S TIT 49, .-.tzsY
ers are not TO blame for the high
price of corn meal. He said the meal
had to pass through too many hands
before it reached the retailer, and
that each handler managed to make
a comfortable profit.
