The toew food conservatnon program just announced by United States Food Adminstrator Herbert Hoover is as follows:.'' v The recent careful suryey by the Food Administrators of the United States, France, England and . Italy of the food resources of the 220,000,000 leople fighting against Germany i shows that to maintain enough sup-J pltes and necessary reserve against disaster,' there must be maintained in all counties a conservation of wheat flour during the coming year. It has been agreed that the wheat bread of the Allies shall contain 20 ter cent of other grains than wheat, and it is only Just that we should bear our share In this saving, and our bread should, be at least universal with those who are suffering more greatly from the war than ourselves. . Distribution and transportation cir cumstances in the United States ren- : der it necessary to rely very largely on voluntary action in our homes to enforce this mixture. The Victory bread so made is wholesome, and there is no diffciulty in preparation. We desre to emphasize the fact that the mixture outlined below are for wheat bread , and the saving of wheat flour, bat they are not intended ,to displace the large use of corn bread. We must use the mixture with wheat flours in addition to our normal con sumption of corn bread. New Rules Promulgated. , For this purpose, regulations are formulated below, effective Sepember 1, providing: (1) For the preparation and market ing by the manufacturing and distrib uting trades of the country of a mixed flour complying with the international policy which will be available for pur chase by the household.

PROFITEERS HAVE NO PLACE IN BUSINESS State Food Administrator Henry A. Page Issues Ultimatum Some Con cerns Have Been Blacklisted Al ready. The attention of the Food Adminis tration has been called to extensive profiteering in mill feeds and some other products by some North Caro lina merchants. The complaints have been so wide-spread that State Food Administrator Page has instructed County Food Admnistrators and the eight inspectors in the field not only to investigate and report any .viola tions of the margins allowed but where North Carolina dealers were apparently getting only a fair margin and yet were selling at a too-high level of price, to report the names of the mills or dealers from whom the mill feeds were originally purchased Mill feeds should be reaching the con sumers of North Carolina at not more than S40 to $45 per ton, even where freight is added and the State Food Administrator Is determined that prof iteering in this product must cease North Carolina dealers have been sufficiently warned by the Food Ad- ministration and Incidents of profit eering hereafter will be drastically dealt with. Already Mr. Page has had blacklist orders issued aganst a num ber of North Carolna merchants Among these are J. L. Thompson Com pany, one of the largest concerns at Dunn, pwho had charged margins of 40 per cent to as high as 75 per cent on meat, lard compound, flour and mo lasses; and the United Cash Store Company at Marshville which had dis regarded Food Administration rules and regulations in a number of in stances. The McLaughlin Company at Raeford was allowed to contribute 11,200 to the Red Cross and charities in lieu of having a blacklist order Is sued against them. A number ol other dealers have been blacklisted and a larger number have been al lowed to make a contribution to the Red Cross in lieu of being put out of business. "The profiteer has no place In busi ness at a time like this," dcelared Mr, Page to a correspondent. "Profiteer ing and disregard of Food Adminis tration rules and regulations will not be tolerated in North Carolina. Offers of large donations to the Red Cross are not going to be considered where exorbitant profiteering or wilful dis regard of Food Administration rules and regulations are shown." MERCHANTS TO CURTAIL DELIVERY SERVICE The following announcement was Is sued to the merchants of the State by State Food Administrator Page In the Official Bulletin for September 1 "As the great war progresses, the demand for labor becomes greater and greater. Non-essential labor is being gradually eliminated and less essen tail labor is being greatly curtailed Delivery service by retail groceries Is classed as less essential labor. It Is recognized that some delivery service is necessary, but it Is very clear that the labor used in the delivery, service by the . retail dealers of the country could bS curtailed 50 per cent without working any hardship upon any con sumer or any dealer. Such a curtail ment In delivery service will release for productive work tens of thousands of men and youths. "In view of this stluatlon, mer chants are requested to begin imme diately an adjustment of their busi ness, so that by September 15 they win be able to confine their deliverise to one delivery per day "to each sec tion or community , they serve. In every instance where It is possible, the labor used In such delivery ser vice; should be-: " reduced, some the men and boys engaged being rt leased tor other work. ,.
