Sunday proved a good test for the
Sunday-inclined auto travelers, With
the Grange Encampment being a desir-
able objective, it would have been sup-
posed that the request to save gas
would not have been so universally
heeded. Public sentiment, however,
has grown to immense proportions
against Sunday pleasure driving, and
this, coupled with a 100 per cent Ameri.
can patriotic spirit, resulted in an al
most negligible number of cars being on

HEINZ APPEALS FOR USE
OF MIXED FLOUR.
People Must Know That the Bars Are
Not Down On Wheat,
“The greatest rationing experiment in
the history of the World is in progress "
said Howard Heinz, United States
Food Administrator for Pennsylvania
the other day in an appeal for the uni-
versal use of mixed flour by all classes
in Pennsylvania.
** For the first time since the World's
War began, the nations of the Allies are
eating ata common table. Over two-
hundred and twenty million people sur-
round this board, There are no seats of
honor. There is no distinction of class;
rich and poor, the farmer and the city
dweller, the millionaire and the laboring
man must now all partake of the same
bread. " -
The new rulings on wheat was the
subject of Mr. Heinz comment. The
fifty-fifty rule regarding the use of
wheat flour and its substitutes is a thing
of the past. The new one of 80-20, or
80 percent wheat flour and twenty per-
cent substitutes prevails not only in the
United States but in England, France
and Italy.
ALLIES ARE RATIONED ALIKE
‘** Now that the two-hundred and
twenty million people of the Allies are
rationed alike, and eating the same
bread, any member of this mighty fam.
ily who asks for pure wheat bread in
this great crisis, or for food different
from that furnished the other nations
stamps himself as one who is not willing
to contribute his part to winning the vic-
tory.”
‘* An American ", said Mr. Heinz with
emphasis, *‘ who refuses to eat the same
bread as that furnished our Allies pro-
claims himself unfriendly to the purpose
of our government".
STILL DANGER OF A FAMINE.
‘ And because there is a larger wheat
crop in the United States this year than
for years past; because the so-so rule
has been abolished and a larger use of
wheat flour is now permitted is no ex-
cuse for any individual to think that the
bars are down and that he can use
much wheat flour as he desires withou
substitutes. If the situation were not
serious there would be no need of using

Liberally.
Don’t think the prize is too high, The
price at present on fertilizer is not as high
in proportion as before the war.
It takes Less Wheat to Buy a Ton of
Fertilizer Today than it did
Before the War.
A FACT! Before the war it took more
bushels of wheat to buy a ton of fertilizer
than it takes today to buy a ton of the same
quality of fertilizer,
I have a liberal stock on hand,” Order carly
before the supply is exbaus ed.
