BORDER SPECULATORS
EVADE SUGAR RULING
_
EL PASO.—The district food ad
ministrator has found it necessary
to further limit the distribution of
sugar along the border here. It
has been found the grocerymen were
selling sugar on orders permitting
the sale in quantities for canning
purposes. Instead of using the
sugar for this purpose the buyers
were taking the sugar acorss the
river to Mexico, where it was being
sold at an advance of liore than
100 per cent.

PAPER READ BY

RN FOOD SAVING|
Mr*. Leon Kellum Read* Paper At
Meeting of Women’* Home
Economic Society.
_
At the last meeting held by the
Women’s Home Economic Society
at the Nenana club rooms, the follow
ing interesting paper was read by
Mrs. Leon Kellum:
WHY THE ALLIES NEED OUR
WHEAT
Uncle Sam has issued a call to the
American people at home, and par
ticularly the housewives of America,
to conserve wheat. Why?
We all know' there is a great war
raging in Europe and w’e also know
that where this great conflict is
enacted there is pillaging, destruction
and death.
So let us pause and think of the
millions of surviving souls in this
war-torn country and their con
dition, especially as regards food.
The meals of many of the Allied
nations consist chiefly of wheat pro
ducts. For example: bread and mac
aroni; a portion of bread or mac
aroni and a glass of wine constitut
ing a meal. Nowhere in Europe
even in times of peace, did one find
a variety of food on the workman’s
table such as we in America enjov.
The success of raising wheat or
crops of any description in that de
vastated land, at present, is very
slight; indeed, almost next to noth
ing, compared to the great needs
of the people. Even before the war,
the food production of these coun
tries was much less than the amount
consumed, and the difference was
supplied by the United States, Can
ada and other countries now en
gaged in this terrific struggle.
Great Britain, Italy and Belgium
must now import 60 per cent of
their breadstuffs instead of the 40
per cent they imported before the
war.
It is up to America to supply the
greater part of this need, and to
increase her export of wheat from
88-000,000 bushels to 220,000,000
bushels.
Wheat, in its various forms, is
universally liked and highly nutri
tious. The cry sent forth in be
half of our soldiers and our allied
friends i,: “Wheat, more wheat-”
The men of the Allied countries
are not on the farms; they are
fighting.
Bread is the staff of life. Surely
we are willing to give all within our
power to help sustain the vigor and
strength of our soldiers and of those
who have called upon us for help. !
Many of our efforts in the past j
to send wheat to the Allies w'ere in '
vain; due to the sinkin.tr of pro-;
vision ships by German submarines, i
But the sinking of a provision ship
should act as an incentive to all
true Americans to Hooverize more.
We are asked, “Why cannot the
people over there learn to use sub
stitutes?” and we are told the task
of educating them to new ideas and
methods of cooking would be far
more expensive than the shifting of
our own menu at home, and in the
meantime would result in thousands
of deaths. A shocked and outraged
people, nervous to a high degree as
the result of the treatment they have
received, are in no mental attitude
to learn to like a new food,
j Co-operatig with Hoover in food
conservation is a patriotic privilege
all American housewives may enjoy.
Man is the power behind the gun;
is the power behind the man;
and let all who remain here safely
, at home join hands with Hoover in
, beinS power behind the food. ^
| We HOW have in Europe 1,500,000
soldiers. France Is caring for 2,000,
000 refugees, and we are merely
asked to help feed them. And who
■ n°t gladly help in this great
cause for humanity’s sake and back
i °ur boys in their efforts to carry
“Old Glory Over the Top to Victory.”
There is work for every person
. to do in this war—food is ammuni
,tion, are you wasting it? j
GEORGE HIGH
MUSI PAY FINE
SELLING BOOZE
Man Found Guilty of Paddling Booze
I* Fined a Thousand Dollars j
By Commission^'.
Last night George Milich was ar- j
raigned before Commissioner R. S.
McDonald on the serious charge of
selling liquor and was found guilty, ■
A fine of one thousand dollars was
imposed, in default of payment of
which he will serve out the sentence
in the Fairbanks jail at the rate
of two dollars a day.
This case was the upshot of an
inquiry into the circumstances con
nected with the case against William
Shreve, who was charged with vio
lating the liquor law, he being found
in a highly intoxicated condition ;
last Saturday night. j
The inquiry disclosed the fact that
he bought the booze, which was said
to be a mixture of gin and some
other liquor and which he called
“pretty good,” from George Milich
at $5 a bottle.
The evidence against Milich was
very clear and it was proved beyond
a doubt that he was in the habit
of selling liquor for some time past
in direct violation of the law. Robert
McLean corroborated the evidence
given by William Shreve, and Milich
was unable to refute any of it.
Shreve on pleading guilty to the
charge preferred against him of be
ing drunk and having liquor in his
possession, was fined by the com
missioner and will also have to pay
the cost of the suit.
“I do not know how we shall be
requested to dispose of it,” said
Mr. Tanner. “When I was in Seattle
the marshal there was auctioning it
off to be shipped to “wet” states.
At the Westward I belive that some
of it has ben destroyed and some
has been sent Outside. Personally
I hope that we will be ordered to
destroy it. If we are we will have
a holiday and everyone may watch
us dump it overboard, or dispose
of it in a way which we mav see
fit.”
Keep score. The Food Admin
istration asks you to eat eleven
wheatless meals each week. Each
one counts 9.09 per cent. What is
your score this week?
