sition by the allied governments to
Japanese intervention in Siberia, is
disclaimed by cables received here
today from Tokio. The British and
Frt nch ambassadors, the advice says,
have presented a formal request for
such action, and Roland S. Morris,
the American ambassador, has in
nouneed that the move is not opposed
by the United States.
The request of the allies, the cabl
es say, was that the Japanese govern
ment take all such measures which
Japan deems esential for the pro
tection of the allies interests in east
Asiatic Russia.
The critical situation in Siberia
has stirred official Japan to great
action. The emperor has returned
to Tokio from the Hayamma palace.

From 'Wednesday's Iaily.
George K. Staata and Miss Gerda
Petersen, the two dispatchers at ih
postoffice, are kept pretty busy r
this time getting in trim for the
coming annual examination which
they are required to pass. There are
one thousand and ninety post otfices
in thla state, and some ninety divis
ions.' according to the distribution
scheme applicable to this oflice, an 1
in casing the cards, one for each f
the offices, it is required that sixteen
be cased each minute and that they
pass an examination 9 5 per cent per
fect. Mr. Staata in a trial of speed the
other evening cased the entire num
ber in 4 8 minutes, wiih but twi
mistakes, and these two were an er
ror of the hand and not of the mind.
The office here is certainly fortunate
in the fact that it has efficient peo
pie in the dispatching department.

Omaha. Marcsh 14. 191S.
To All County Federal Food Admin
istrators: Gentlemen:
I have just been advised from
Washington that in the case of li
censed bakers, there is an exception
to the TO per cent rule, in their
purchases of flour for manufactur
ing bread and rolls.
A baker in such instance may pur
chase SO per cent of his normal cur
rent requirements of white flour, ir
respective cf the amount used at a
previous time. The limitations on
purchases by bakers, cf white flour,
are the :iO-days' supply rule and the
substitute rule requiring them to
buy 2". per cent of substitutes with
white flour purchased.
Hereafter, all mills will be requir
ed to make what is known as 100
per cent flour; that is. from 2C4 lbs.
of wheat, they must obtain 19G lbs.
of flour. From the 19G lbs., no fur
ther extraction may be made, except
in flour manufactured for the Armv
or Navy, from which not to exceed a
5 per cent extraction may be made.
This 5 per cent may not be sold for
purposes other than human consump
tion, except by special permission of
the United States Food Administra
t ion.
Mixed flours containing less wheat
flour than wheat flour substitutes
may be sold without substitutes. A
retailer shall not sell mixed flour
containing more than 50 per cent of
wheat flour, to any person, unless
such person purchases from him at
the same time an amount of wheat
flour substitutes sufficient to make
the total amount of such subst:tuts,
including the substitutes in the mix
ed flour, equal to the total amount
of wheat flour in such mixed flour.
Rye is not a substitute, therefore,
substitutes must be sold with blended
rye flour, for every pound of wheat
in such flour.
Soda fountains making their own
syrup, or ice cream manufacturers,
are treated as manufacturers, and as
such are entitled to obtain SO per
cent of their last year's purchase of
sugar. They are not subject to the
."Oc and $1 limit rule, but may be
sold sugar in reasonable quantities.
Very truly yours.
GURDON W. WATTLES,
Federal Food Administrator for Nebraska.

are the best suits we expect to get our hands on for a long time to come.
The immutable law of supply and demand has been closing in on the wool
situation until it has narrowed down to a simple question of "go without."
The clothes of the future will be "wool-less" clothes. They will be coarse
and thin and rough and slazy. We're not going to complain about it, are
we? we're going to takeour medicine and smile and make the best of it
just so long as it helps "lick the Kaiser." But why not buy one or two good
suits from present stock before they are gone? A great many are solving
the problem this way. Our prices are still on the lower shelf $15, $17,
$21, $25, $27.50, $30 and up. These are just about Vz what inferior ma
terials will cost you next year. Come in, let's talk it over.
