PRICE WILL DECREASE. j
By compelling ail who mill grains
used as substitutes for wheat flour
to make regular reports to the United
States Food Administration, the price
’of these substitutes, it is announced,
•will be materially decreased and those
who might be inclined to engaged in
profiteering in this particular com
modity will be given prompt attention
*>y state food administrators.
Ever since the people of the United
States were asked to eat their floui- j
on the 60-60 plan, millers of substi- !
lutes and those who later handled
these produucts, it is charged, have ,
been reaping more than the “fair
margin of profit” the government de- j
-clared shoulud be reealized. The in
crease in price became so noted as to
call from Herbert C. Hoover, national
food administrator, a stinging re
buke, and tt|e United States Food
Administration has resolved that
millers’ reports are necessary to
maintain the price of wheat flour
substitutes within the reach of the I
people.
“There is no question as to the sup- i
ply of substitutes,” declares a state- >
ment issued from the office of the j
State Food Administration, “and of- ,
ficials in Washington will keep them- j
selves posted as to prices. When- |
ever these prices are excessive they
will be reported to State Administra
tors for immediate investigation,” |
says a statement from the State Food |
Administration.
“Barley flour and corn flour should j
now be selling at the mill at 20 per
cent less than the price of wheat |
flour, with rye at approximately the
same price. The rice situation in
Arkansas, considering the crop that
is anticipated, should not make this
feature difficult. Then, too, rice is
being imported in large quantities
which ought to reduuce the price in
this country.”
County Food Administrators are
requested to call the question of price
for substitutes to the attention of
“Suggestive Fair Price Committee”
where complaint is made that substi
tutes are higher in price than what
is reasonably expected.

ON PUTTING THINGS OFF
There Are Times When Waiting a
Little While Helps a Whole
Lot.
“Procrastination never got anybody
anywhere, but,” said Mr. Gratebar,
“there are times when putting things
oft a bit helps a lot, as, for instance,
in the matter of answering certain
letters.
“I get once In a while a letter that
is cross, 111 tempered, sarcastic or that
maybe sets up some proposition that
the writer himself would have known
wouldn’t hold water if he had stopped
to think about it.
“Now, my natural Inclination would
be to answer that letter right away.
I could shoot his proposition full of
holes easily and make it look foolish.
His sarcasm I could answer much
more bitingly. But what I do now
in my somewhat riper years is to smile
and say to myself:
-•What’s the use?’
“What I do now before answering
such a letter is to wait a day, to sleep
on It.
“There’s a habit that it would be
worth any man’s while to cultivate.
Sleeping on it will iron the wrinkles
out of any sort of trouble, solve for us
any problem; it soothes and clarifies.
It brings back our courage and our
sense of humor. And then, in the
morning, when I come to answer that
letter I answer it in a spirit that
makes not an <nemy but a friend.
“This sort of putting things off I
don’t call procrastination it is just
waiting a little to give all hard ‘feel
ing time for evaporation.”
Lock of Milton’s Hair.
What is reported to be Doctoi
Johnson’s lock of Milton’s hair Is to
be sold by Messrs. Puttick in London
this month. Johnson, according to tra
dition, claimed that his lock of Mil
ton’s hair formerly belonged to Addi
son. Johnson relieved Milton’s daugh
ter when she was in distress and it is
thought she gave him the lock in grati
tude.
The lock was subsequently divided,
one half being given to Leigh Hunt, and
it inspired Keats’ “Lines on Seeing a
Lock of Milton’s Hair.” Leigh Hunt
shared his portion of the lock with
Browning, and the portion he retained
cannot be traced. Some years age
Browning’s portion was sold in Lon
don, and later, resold in New York foi
nearly $1,000.—London Mail.
The Balm of Forgetfulness.
“Did you ever break a promise?”
“I try not to do anything so violent,”
replied Senator Sofghum. “If a prom
ise has to be disposed of I don’t break
it. I let it fade away.”
