ARMY TRUCKS
HAUL SUPPLY
OFFOOD HERE
Surplus Ready for Distribution
Tomorrow to Community
Groups.

Army trucks today are hauling
washington's four carloads of surplus
army food to the municipal fish mar
ket, where it is being stored and
checked. Provided no Interruptions
occur, 1t should be ready for dis
tribution tomorrow afternoon to the
community eenters.
The sale of tickets for the food will
begin this evening at 1850 o'clock and
will last until 1890 o'clock. A rush
order business has been anticipated at
the community centers, and the de-
mand for the army food has led to
consideration OF purchasing an add
tional car load Of food. II the de-
mand for tickets is as great as ex-
peeted this additional car load will
be purchased and added to the stores
now on hand.
Sale Of food will take place only in
the community centers, and there will
be no sale direct to individuals or
groups at the ish market. This was
announced today by Chairman q. d.
Atkinson, heading the committee Of
fifteen handling the food.
Another announcement made today
by members OF the committee of nj
teen was that no individual would be
sold less than a case, or correspond
ing measure, of the food at one time
The handling of small orders by the
community centers would result in
too much labor and confusion, IL was
pointed out.
Army food prices promise to come
down within the near future, as the
prices OF food are lowered by re-
tailers endeavoring to compete with
the prices offered by the War Depart.
ment- The lower the retailers offer
their food for sale the lower will be
the prices offered by the War Depart
ment, and IL Washington secures
more surplus food at q later date the
prices may be exceptionally low.
Anticipating the same demand for
army food all through the country
which has characterized the sale of
the products in Washington. Secre-
tary Of War Baker has ordered Dr.
rector OF Sales Hare. now in France,
to sell no more subsistence in Europe.
The order is said to be the result of
recent Congressional resolutions for
the sale Of surplus army food in this
country.
