Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United, States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January I, Australia had
stored 1O0.0O0,00O bushels of
wheat that was ready for. ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Thsn came the new crop with
an cxportable surplus, Of $4,000
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately $50, 000, 900 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
7O,000,000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
10000. 600 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1S5, O00, 900 to
the left over.
It In not q problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it In entirely a problem
Of shipping. which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid-
Ing our stock with the Allies.

cent. Of the average monthly amount
purchased In the four months prior to
March /.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use Of
other cereals, dours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato -four. ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing SO in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There Is no reason why all Of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households In the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts Of the community less able
TO adapt themselves to so large q pro-
portion Of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton of the public by q further limita-
ton Of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
trades.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1918-04-19

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance Of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
I. Householders to use not to exceed
q total Of ~ pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than TX pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound Of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuhs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
Of more than two ounces of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
Ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
Of the householders.
B. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth Of barrel of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-Quarter Of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight. Of other cereals.
4. We ask. the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery Of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat nour purchases beyond 20 per

CHAPTER XIV (Continued.)

One by one the winter days passed.
At the Duffs Mr.. Smith was finding a
most congenial home. He liked Miss
Maggie better than ever, on closer
acquaintance. The Martin girls fitted
pleasantly into the household and
plainly did much to help the mistress
of the house. Father Duff was still
as irritable as ever. but he was not
so much in evidence, for his increas-
ing lameness was conhning him al
mpst entirely to his own room. This
meant added care for Miss Maggie,
but, with the help of the Martins,
she still had some rest and leisure,
some time to devote to the walks and
talks with Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith
said it was absolutely imperative, for
the sake of her health. that she should
have some recreation, and that it was
an act of charity, anyway, that she
should Tighten his loneliness by letting
him walk and talk with her.
Mr.. Smith could not help wonder
ing a good deal these days about Miss
Maggie's financial resources. He
knew from various indications that
they must be slender. Yet he never
heard her plead poverty or preach
economy. In spite of the absence of
protecting rugs and tides, however,
and in spite OF the fact that she plain
ly conducted her life and household
along the lines of the greatest posi-
BILE comfort, he saw many evidences
that she counted the pennies-and
that she made every penny count.
He knew for a fact that she had
refused to accept any of the Blais-
delfs legacy. Jane, to be sure, had
not offered any money yet (though
she had offered the parlor carpet,
which had been promptly refused),
but Frank and James and Flora had

Yofered money and had urged her tc
take it ~ Miss Maggie, however
would have none of it.
Mr.. Smith suspected that Mis-,
Maggie was proud, and that she re
garded such a gift as savoring toe
much of charity. Mr.. Smith wished
he could say something to Miss Mag
gle. Mr.. Smith was indeed, not q
little disturbed over the matter. He
did try once to say something
but Miss Maggie tossed it off with a
merry: Take their money? Never

some of James interest, or one oil

would not let him get near the SUBJ
ject. There seemed then really moth.
ing he could do.
1t was about this time, however.
that Mr.. Smith began to demand
sertain extra luxuries-toncy, olives,
sardines. candied fruits and imported
jellies. They were always luxurics
that must be bought, not prepared in
the home; and he promptly increased
the price of his board--but to a sum
far beyond the extra cost of the
delieicies he ordered.
When Miss Maggie, demonstrated
at the size of the increase, he pooh
poohed her objections, and declared
that even that did not pay for hav-
ing such nuisance of a boarder
around, with all his fussy notions.
