HEAVY PENALTY FOR
VIOLATION $3.50 ORDER
Scarcity of "Camouflage' Flour
Reported by Guthrie Grocers;
Some Dealers Worried,
Others Are Indifferent

Violation of the $3.50 flour and
flour substitute order will mean heavy
fines and if tie violation is persisted
in will mean Jail sentences besides,
and local groeers should begin to take
the mater seriously" said federal
official today
In the face of these facts, inquiry
among grocers Of the city indicate a
shortage of the substitute flours and
some dealer at least are somewhat ex-
ercised over the situation. Here's the
condition Of things just now:
Practically no corn grits
No feterita flour.
No potato flour
No soy bean flour
Limited supply of oatmeal
Limited supply of corn starch.
Limited supply Of bdckwheat and
corn meal.
Thus grocers are in a quandary
about carrying out the $3.50 contract
and agreement with the food dictator.
There is a disposition on the part of
Guthrie grocers to aid the govern
ment in every way possible in the
conservation Of food and all are eager
to do their part in ''help win the war.
They are insisting that every custo-
mer purchasing wheat flour, purchase
an equal amount Of substitute flour,
but if the substitutes are not available
what are the merchants to do That
is the question that is confroning
them,

Associated Press
With the American Army in France,
Feb S--Amorican artillery and lnfan-
try have succeeded In cleaning out a
majority of the snipers who caused
considerable annoyance from the time
the sector was taken over by tho
troops The snipcr posts in buildings
have been destroyed by knocking
down the shelters by American sharp
shooters. Night patrols have been
finished off later.
Last night small patrol entered
an advanced German trench In search
o. a nest of snipers. A lieutenant,
corporal and two men left the Am
erican wire and returned five hours
later They walked across No Mans
Land, picking their way carefully to
avoid discovery Reaching tho enemy
wire they crawled beneath 1t eau
t,ously and approached the most ad-
yanced enemy trench The men look
ed down into the trench, which APP
parently was abandoned bu they were
sure snipcrs were there They drop
ped down noiselessly and found
place where the trench bottom showed
fresh footprints. On the parapet the
corporal discovered a rifle loaded and
pointing in the direction of the Am
erlcan trenches. There was not
German around.
The corporal brought back the rifle
to the American lines. 1t Is a typical
German weapon made in Rerlin and
In good condition
At another point enemy snIpers were
discovered in a shell hole A few
Weil-placed shots from hight artillery
ended their career At another place
a handful OF machine gun bullets was
effective. Two or three snlper posts
are possibly still in front of the Am
erican positions, but they are not like
ly to be there long.
Tho American artillery is keeping up
q harrassing fire on the German lines,
b0mbarding batteries, trenches, cross
roads, dugouts. light railways and
houses in which enemy troops are
biileted.
Evidently the American tactics an
bored the Germans for they started a
vigorous shelling OF our batters with
77s the firing stopping only when
the American heavy guns silenced the
German artillery.
Early today observers saw body
o. enemy infantry, estimated at two
battalions, near a forest A heavy
fire was directed on the spot scat
tering the Germans 1t is felt cer-
tain that tho enemy sustained num-
erous casualties. Later American
shells started a fire in a German
town which burned for an hour.

COOKS SLOW To OBEY
HOOVER FOOD RULES
Travelling Men Say That Chefs
Just Fill Orders In the
Same Old Way At
Most Points

The cooks should change their ho
bits. When a person orders L stack
the cook should know that this means
corn cakes. not wheat cakes.
This is the suggestion Of p c
Phelps, field representative OF the Ok
ahoma university, who has jCst made
a tour of twenty five cities. In but
two Of these places, Pawhuska and
Guthrie could Mr. Phelps get his or
der for corn cakes filled.
Mr. Phelps states that the restaur-
ant men and cooks are indifferent.
They do not seem to care and when
asked why they did not secure substi-
tutes so they could fill corn cake or
ders, they are Indifferent in the mat
ter.
Mr. Phelps thinks the cooks have
formed habit of making wheat cakes
and that they have not been jolted
hard enough to jar them out of the rut
on to the corn wagon. He believes
that city food ordinances should in
clude this making of wheat cakes in
the tabooed list of foods.
