WHEAT BREAD AND
PLENTY SUGAR NOW
ON COLORADO TABLES

Temporary peace has added two
luxuries to the American table. The
United States Food Administration
for Colorado announced last week
that pure wheat bread may now be
served on all tables. The sale and
use of substitutes is no longer neces-
sary. 1t is stated, because of the re-
leasing Of large stores OF flour in the
Southern Hemisphere which were
formerly tied up by the war and war
demands on shipping.
In sugarproducing states, such -
Colorado with its beet, and Louisiana
with it's cane sugar, the Food Admin
isration has increased the household
allowance Of sugar to four pounds per
person per month.
Restaurants however, though per-
mitted to serve wheat bread, are still
limited as to quantity served and are
permitted to serve only an extra tea.

QUESTION ONE OF RECONSTRUCTION AS WELL As WAR;
QUESTION ONE OF RECONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS WAR;
MEANS MORE GOOD ROADS.

Fifty per cent Of the products raised
on the farms In the United States
never reach the market because Of
lack Of transportation facilitieR The
whole world is hungry, will be 30 for
years to come, and yet thousands of
tons of fruits and vegetables rot on
the ground every year because means
are not at hand to get supplies to the
consumer.
These statements are not the uncrit-
ical utterances of a careless observer
They come direct from Herbert c.
Hoover. United States Food Admins
traitor and the greatest authority on
food conditions today.
Upon the American farmer rests the
task of feeding not alone America but
out. army and navy and to a large ex-
tent our allies and neutral nations.
Every channel by which he may move
his products should be opened to him
and every possible aid extended.
The railroads alone are unequal to
the task and every increasing por-
ton of their tonnage must be devoted
to transportation of war supplies.
Domestic trade must take second place
and If the war we're to stop tomorrow
the railroads would still be taxed to
their utmost limit and would be I'M
able to handle all of the transporta-
ton alone.
This handicap would be serious
enough for the farmer were 1t all.
But it is not. The farmer is the only
producer who carries his own wares
to market today. To do 1t he must
neglect his farm when he is most
needed there Under ordinary condi-
tons this method is wrong. Today
with the world aflame, with labor
acutely needed everywhere. such
methods work an injustice to him, a
crime against humanity.
So important is this subject that it
has been made the object of special
investigation at Washington. The re.
suit has been the creation of the
Highways Transport Committee of the
Council of National Defense with or
CARNATIONS in every state of which
the Highways Transport Committee of
the State Council of Defense is one.
This body has now worked out prac-
tical solution of the transportation
problem which should draw the imme-
date and serious consideration of ev-
cry shipper in Colorado, no matter
how small his output.
In brief it involves transference
Of transportation from the slowly
moving horse-drawn vehicle to the eff

ficient, cheap, fast moving, high ton
mage capacity motor truck. Here are
the reasons for this transference:
One motor truck can do the work Of
three horse teams IN the same time in
day and can keep it up for twenty
four hours out of day If necessary.
One motor truck operating between
several towns can carry all of their
products and release all of the teams
SO employed, and consequently release
the farmer who would otherwise be
spending time on the road when he is
most needed on the farm. The truck
provides direct door to door deliv-
cry. eliminating carriage and terminal
costs, supplies the consumer with
fresh products and relieves congestion
at rail points, thus enabling Uncle
Sam to devote his energies to the
long distance haul.
The truck cuts down the number of
horses kept by the farmer, reduces
the heavy. cost of winter feeding and
finally by reducing forage raised, re-
leases labor for work on acreage de-
voted to supplying human wants.
1t will be said that the roads are
not heavy enough for the trucks. They
are not now but it has been shown
that money expended on roads is an
investment that pays many times the
principal in reduced transportation
costs. Good roads will follow the
motor truck everywhere, opening up
communication and lowering the high
cost of living for the ultimate con-
sumer. n
If motor truck transportation re-
leases but a hundred men for war
work in Colorado, it would be doing a
great war service, but it will release
more men, will handle greater in
creased. tonnage, will lower cost for
shipper. merchant and farmer alike if
the men who do transportation work
in Colorado will get in to the move
ment and will ask that their goods be
shipped in this manner.
The nation is calling for every pos
sible time and labor saving device.
Here is one at hand. Use 1t as a pa
triotic duty and because it will make
your work more efficient.
