EXPLAIN EXCEPTIONS
MIXED FLOURS AND GRAHAM
FLOUR DO NOT NEED TO BE
SOLD POUND FOR POUND.

Aberdeen. April 25.-By this time
nearly everybody understands the
pound-for-pound of $3.50 ruling to
the effect that when you buy wheat
flour you must purchase at the
same time an equal weight of food
products selected from among the
following: Corn meal, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hominy. corn grits,
barley flour, rice, rice flour, potato
flour, sweet potato flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats, soy bean flour, feterita
flour and meals, buckwheat flour.
This is clear to all, as we'll as the
fact that il does not matter whether
the buyer sticks to one substitute or
distributes his choice among several,
so long as the total weight of substi-
tutes equals that of the wheat flour.
Somewhat less well understood are
The two exceptions to the $3.50 rule.
The first of these concerns graham
flour and whole wheat flour. Both
OF these, because of the process Of
milling, use a larger percentage OF
the wheat berry than regular wheat
flour; 1. e., a bushel of wheat will
make a greater weight of graham or
whole wheat flour than ii does OF the
ordinary wheat flour. In other
words, graham and whole wheat
.lours are in themselves making
wheat go further. For that reason
a person buying a certain number of
pounds of graham flour or whole
wheat flour need get only three
fifths of that weight in substitutes.
The second exception applies to
mixed flours. When any mixed flour
contains so per cent or more of in
gradients other than wheat, it may
be sold alone, for ii is observing the
$3.50 rule in itself; but If this mixed
flour contains less than SO per cent
of substitute ingredients, that differ
ence must be made up by other pur-
chases. For instance, suppose a per-
son bought four pounds of mixed
flour composed of three pounds of
wheat flour and one pound of sub
stitutes. Along with that mixed
flour he would have to buy two
pounds of some of the specified sub
atitutes. In so doing he would be
carrying out of the grocery a total
Of three pounds of wheat and three
CT substitutes. The mere fact that
part OF the substitutes had been
mixed with the wheat before it was
bought would not matter at all. be-
cause the pound-for-pound or $50
principle would still be operating.

A LONG Walk
SOUTH DAKOTA BOY WALKED

NO ACTION TAKEN
ALLEGED PRO-GERMANS RE-
LEASED ON GOOD BEHAV-
TOR AT MITCHELL.

Mitchell, April 25.-Alleged Mt.
Vernon pro-Germans were released
after a careful investigation and no
charges made against them.
I'VE have finished the investiga-
ton of Mt. Vernon and vicinity for
the time being said Maj. Frank w.

ed. The evidence has been consid-
cred, the transcript made and will be
carefully gone rel The board as
yet has taken no action, but the men
suspected of disloyalty to the gov
eminent will be closely watched for
further cases of pro-Germanism.
When the rest of the county will be
gone over has not yet been deter
mined"
One man who was regarded to be
the most rabid pro-German suddenly
veeyed 10 the side Of the United
States when he was brought up for
trial Saturday evening. On Friday
his Ease was considered by the COM
mittee, but his testimony was so un-
convincing and his 'lapses of men,
Org" so apparent that he was ordered
'interned" for a time. All day Sat
urday he had a chance to ponder
over his probable fate. Late Satur-
day night his case was reconsidered.
Without any urging he told every
thing the committee wished to know
and just before leaving he said:
I'm going to take my allotment
Of Liberty Bonds and then some.
According to reliable information
this man, who Is past 70 years old,
came to the United States 81 years
ago and for a good share of that time
he has lived In Dawson county.
Another witness brought before
the committee was a man who had
personal reasons for refusing to buy
Liberty bonds and had used vigorous
language against the government.
Previous to that time he had repeat
edly demonstrated his loyalty to the
United States.
Among the star witnesses at the
hearing was a Mt. Vernon school
teacher.
