{
No agency is doing more to sus-
tain the splendid morale of our
army than are the services which
these women are perfol ming.
The families living in town can
purchase for household purposes
only two pounds at a time; those
living in the country five pounds
at a time. The price will be 93c
per pound cash and carry. This
amount may be purchased as
often as is necessary, always
keeping in mind that we must
live WITHIN THE THREE POUNDS
PER HEAD PER MONTH.
There is one other preferred
class on which the Administration
wishes no limit fixed. That is, in
the preserving and canning of
fruits. Any housewife may go
to any merchant and by signing
the proper certificate get Is
pounds of sugar at a time for this
purpose. When they have used
this amount in this way they may
go back and get Is pounds more
and go as often IS they can satisfy
their merchants that they are
using it strictly for this purpose
and none other.
The commercial users of sugar,
that is those enterprises using
sugar for making candy, soft
drinks, ice cream, syrup etc are
put on a different basis. Due
publicity was given through the
papers and through other agen-
cies that all commercial users of
sugar must make application for
license direct to the State Ad-
ministration. Those who have
filed their applications in time,
although they as yet may not
have received their certificates
covering their allotment of sugar,
may feel sure that they will re.
E ceive them. The only exception
is that where they have already
used 80 per cent of the amount
which they used last year they
f must discontinue business until
the first of July when a new deal
, will be made based on the quaint
ity they used in the third quarter
of last year. This apportionment
will be made on a SO per cent
r basis. Where the commercial
: users failed to get in their appli
, cation before the 10th of June
, they must close their business. A
!. wholesale or retail dealer who
J. sells sugar to any commercial us
. er without taking in exchange
therefor certificates signed by
Mr.. Page, lay themselve:
liable to a heavy penalty.
The manufacture of candy
must be discontinued. Those
stores heretofore running sof

FOOD ADMINISTRATION

The Food Administrations, both
Federal and State, are more than
satisfied with the results obtain
ed during the first twelve months
of its activities. For example,
on the first of July, 1917, after a
survey of the country it was
estimated that we had 20,OOO,OOO
bushels of wheat which we could
export. The actual shipments
to, June first this year have been
120,OOO,0O0 bushels. In the mat
ter of beef exports we have been
shipping from one to two million
pounds monthly. The largest
single month this year we ship
ped 100000 pounds. The
ordinary rate of pork exports is
100000 pounds monthly. The
largest amount exported in one
month this year is 308,000,0OO
pounds. The price of -four at
Minneapolis one year ago was
$16.75 per barrel wholesale and
the present price is $3.50 per bar
rel The price margin between
the farmers wheat and the flour
made from it was $5.68 a year
ago while DIT present date the
difference is GA cents. In gener.
al: The farmer is obtaining q
per cent more than he was last
summer for his products, while
the housewife is buying in the
market Is per cent less than
last summer.
Enough cannot be said in praise
of the merchants of the country
who have submitted to a steadily
protracting scale Of profits with
out complaint and have lent
their faithful and active cooper
alton to the Food Administration
The Food Administration realizes
it could not have accomplished {
third of the results obtained had
it not been for the faithful and
loyal cooperation of the mer
chants.
In considering what has beer
said of wheat we must bear ir
mind that the 1917 wheat cror
was one of the smallest raised in
years. Too much praise cannot
be given to the farmers who
have produced the food and te
the women who have saved it
There is no doubt of this fact
that the Food Administration
and the merchants and the farm
ers and the women back of il
have protected us from defeat
while the government was as
sembling its splendid army. Had
it not been for the food which

we shipped the allies they had
been defeated before our first
contingent of soldiers touched
foreign soil.
The following is a short re-
sumo of the most important
rules now being enforced by the
Administration. and which the
people are asked to observe as a
patriotic duty:

OPPOSITION
Remarkable Record Of Miss Elizabeth
Matheney Of This City, as
a State Rebekah
Officer.

Next June, Miss Elizabeth
Matheney of Colfax lodge of Re.
bekahs here, will be elected secre-
tary of the Iowa state assembly for
the twenty-eighth time.
The plan is that at each annual as
sembly nominations for state offices
are held, and one is elected from the
nominees the following June to be
installed at the following assembly.
At the recent state assembly Miss
Matheney was nominated alone for
secretary and hence must be elected
unanimously next June.
In some former years opposing can
lidates appeared. but Miss Matheney
always beat them easily and by large
majorities, and her work is SO highly
appreciated that she seems to have
become the permanent secretary Of
the Iowa Rebekahs.
