PONEMENT AND ELICIT
REBATE OFFER.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-Re-
quests today by paper manufacturers
for further time to present invest
ment and production costs on which
the federal trade commission will fix
price for news print paper called
forth from newspaper publishers at
an open hearing a protest that they
were not prepared to continue paying
the maximum of cents pound I'M
der the tentative agreement if the
commission was not enabled to COM
plete it's work by April 1.
Commissioner Colver replied that
the commission did not entertain any
doubt Of its ability to conclude it's in
vestigation before the time stipulated
in the court decree which ended the
cases against the manufacturers for
the new price to become effective.
Henry B. Wise, attorney for the
manufacturers, said it would be i'm
possible to give accurate data on in
vestment costs before March IS. Hen
ry E. Davis, representing the publish
ers, replied that an adjournment to
March Is inevitably would carry the
hearings beyond April l. Wise said
his clients would agree to rebate any
difference between 3 cents and the
price set by the commission if the
publishers agreed to pay the differ
ence If higher price was set.
eff your evidence is not in when
the time is up then the commission

day for mobilization Of the final incre.
ment of the national army under the
first draft.
The movement will bring the
strength of the national army up to
the 6S5,00O men contemplated in the
first draft.
The numbers of men which will be
started to the environments February
20 are:
Camp Devens, Mass, 6.575; Upton,
New York, $500; Dix, New Jersey,
1000; Meade, Maryland, 5000; Lee,
Virginia, 5000; Jackson, South Caro-
lima, 1888 (negroes); Georgetown,
Georgia, $500 (negroes); Grant,
Illinois, 5000; Taylor, Kentucky, 6,2S4;
Dodge, Iowa, 14,9S4; Funston, Kansas,
1882; Travis, Texas, 1858; Pike, Ar
kansas, 1000 (negroes).
Only white men are affected by the
order received here and they will be
selected from Class 1 of the question
naire classification SO far as possible,
but local boards that do not have a
instructed to send men, chosen under
the old system.
TEXT OF ORDER.
The order follows:
During the five.day period begin
ming February 90, order complete en-
trainment for Camp Dodge Of all re-
naming white men with current
quota, approximately 1884 white men.
'"The American railroad association
will furnish you with schedules show
ing the specified dates for the move
ment from each local board except for
local adjustment to be made after
consultation with your railroad repre-
sentative these schedules should con-
troll.
MEN FROM CLASS 1.
Every effort should be made to
complete your Quota from men already
classified in Glass /. To this end ex-
pedite the physical examinations of
sufficient number of Glass l men.
These examinations may be conducted
under the old regulations until the
new regulations arrive"
Adjutant General Logan was unable
to state today the exact number of
men that will be required from each
local board jurisdiction. but he said
that information might probably be
obtained from the chairmen of the
various boards.
NO DELAY ANTICIPATED.
Orders will 60 forward Immediately
to each board, and it is expected the
concentration of the Iowans will be
accomplished with minimum of de-
lay.
Reports to the adjutant generals
office indicates that large proportion
OF the local boards have sufficient
number Of men classified under the
QUESTIONABLE system to supply the
required quotas, and it was believed
comparatively few, if any, selected
under the ola system would be sent
from this state.

SALE OF FLOUR IS
RESTRICTED HERE
Continued From Page ~

CONTINUED From Page ID
tutes that are being supplied mostly
are:
Edible corn starch, corn meal, hon.
my, barley flour, oatmeal, rice and
buckwheat flour.
Other substitutes can be furnished
but they are not in supply here. They
probably will be later. These other
substitutes include:
Corn -four, rice flour, potato -four,
cottonseed -four, milo, kaffir and feter'
tia flours and meals, soya bean flour,
peanut flour, casava flour, taro flour
and banana -four.
CAN SUBSTITUTE sPUDs.
In the original rules the above were
the substitutes. Since getting out
these rules beans have been allowed
as a substitute and can be bought in
equal quantities with wheat -four as a
substitute. Potatoes also have been
permitted as a substitute for wheat
-four in quantities Of four to one. That
is, in buying wheat -four it will be
necessary to buy four pounds Of pota-
toes to one pound Of wheat flour.
GRAHAM AND RYE OUT OF LIST.
Graham -four and rye -four are not
included as substitutes, consequently
cannot be included in the combna-
ton. Graham -four is wheat flour
and in case a consumer buys whole
wheat or graham -four containing at
least IS per cent of entire wheat, the
consumer must buy 6 Of a pound of
he$S -
of such whole wheat or graham flour
purchased.
In case the consumer has on hand
sufficient quantities of wheat-four-sub.
stitutes to cover the amount of wheat
-four. graham or whole wheat flour he
wishes to purchase it will be neces.'
sary for the consumer to present the
dealer a written certificate properly
signed certifying that the consumer
has on hand stated quantities OF
wheat -flour-substitute as appear in
this list giving the amount on hand OF
each substitute.
REPORT CERTIFICATE SALES.
When the consumer makes out such
a certificate the dealer is justified in
selling wheat flour to correspond with
that certificate and in order to justify
this sale it will be necessary for the
dealer to send this certificate to the
county food administrator every sec
ond week, after endorsing thereon the
amount of wheat -four furnished to
that consumer on that certificate.
In making out this certificate it will
be necessary for the consumer to
state therein that such substitutes are
to be used only for human consump-
ton.
mo doubt the purpose of this ruling
is twofold, it being the desire to de.
crease the amount of wheat -four used
in bread and it is also their desire to
increase the use of food stuffs such
as hominy. oatmeal, cornmeal, rice,
beans and potatoes. The more we con-
sumo of these foodstuffs the less
bread will be necessary. This will make
some change in our diet but in reality
the change will be for the better de.

States cavalry regiments are to be
sent to France to round out the fight
ing machine for the spring drive.
In the first rush to place American
troops in France regular and national
guard cavalry were converted into i'll
fantry and artilleryo General Pershing
has been entirely without cavalry.
SEVEN REGIMENTS NOW.
Seven cavalry regiments already
are in process Of formation and fiji
teen new regiments are to be created.
Army officers believe that with the
spring new condition will arise on
the western front.
More open fighting is expected.
The new regiments are being organ
lied at Fl. D. A. Russell, Wyo. There
is large horse patrol on the Texas
border. The regulars will be sent to
France as soon as new organizations
are ready to take their places.
REQUIRES MANY SHIPS.
The determination to send mounted
forces abroad is thought to have been
one Of Secretary Bakers chief reasons
for his optimism when he defended
the administrations conduct of the
war before the senate recently.
The transport of horses and neces.

than is required for infantry.
