UNUSED SUGAR CERTIFICATES
RELIEVE CANNING SITUATION
Boarding Houses, Manufacturers and
Retailers Give Extra Amounts to
Food Administration for
Redistribution.

Several hundred pounds Of sugar
are being returned to Wisconsin by
summer resorts and boarding houses
during the present season of lull in
their business. Manufacturers using
sugar, retail grocers and soda foun-
tains are also periodically contrib
uting their extra amounts to the
State supply.
By mailing to the State Sugar Di-
vision at Madison their unused certi-
f1cates, they are greatly relieving the
canning problem. The sugar is imme-
diately redistributed for essential
uses in September. Wisconsin can
not have more sugar this month than
the allotment given her by the United
States,-she has no more than this
available,--and with the numerous de-
mands made upon the Sugar Division,
they find difficulty in satisfying all re-
quirements.
No amount returned is too small to
do some good, and people who return
certificates for small amounts which
they do not need instead Of storing
them away for next month do the
State a great service by enabling it
to relieve actual shortage of sugar in
some parts of Wisconsin.
1.-The gifts of unused sugar certifi-
Gates which are being sent every day
now and will come in until the end of
September prove the much disputed
patriotism of Wisconsin" said Magnus
Swenson, Food Administrator for Wis
consin. 'It is such unselfish co-opera-
ton on the part of it's citizens which
enabled Wisconsin to stand out asNene
of the states which kept within it's
sugar allotment for August"

CONFECTIONERS GIVE SHOW
SPACE FOR war PUBLICITY
Will Feature Nut Candies to Save
Sugar and Provide Nut Shells for
Gas Defense Service of Army.

Retailers of candies and chocolates
will reduce the amount of show win
dow space now used for display OF
candies by one-half," announces the
Executive Committee Of the National
Confectioners' Association, land will
utilize the other half for war purposes
such as Food and Fuel Conservation,
War Savings Stamps, Liberty Loan,
Red Cross, Y. M. c. A, Knights OF
Columbus and any other war activity
eve favor the use of cocoanut and
other kinds of nut candies especially,
since they require but a limited
amount Of sugar and since the Gas
Defense Service of the Army needs all
the nut shells it can get for its work
Manufacturers and retailers Will
advertise them as patriotic variety
of candy and will feature them in their
window displays"

ABOLISH WHEAT RATION.

The voluntary flour ration of six
pounds per person a month has been
rescinded, and at present there is no
per capita ration. Instead, the public
is urged to follow the 5000 regulation,
mixing one pound of substitutes with
every four pounds of wheat flour they
use in baking or buying Victory
Mixed Flours" which contain one-fifth
substitutes. Graham and whole wheat
fiours containing 95 per cent or more
of the wheat berry are now included
in the list of Victory Flours and may
be sold without substitutes and labeled
"Victory Whole Wheat Flour" or "Vic!
tory Graham Flour"

u. S. TO FIX COTTON PRICE
President Will Act After Committee
investigates the General
Situation.

Washington, Sept. Is. = President
Wilson announced that fair price for
raw cotton will be fixed if that should
be deemed necessary after the commit
tee to be appointed by the war indus
tries board has completed it's inquiry
into the general cotton situation.
During the investigation a separate
committee Of three, soon to be named,
will buy cotton for use Of the United
States government and the allies at
prices to be approved by the president.
Since most of the cotton Of the coun-
try is required for war uses, this gov
eminent buying is expected to stabilize
prices.
