MERCHANTS HARD PRESSED
The grocery men of the city are
having a difficult time in getting the
sufficient amount of substitutes to be
used with the wheat flour. As forty
eight poundB of substitute must be
sold with every sack of fifty pounds
wheat flour, it makes it necessary to
carry an equal amount of substitute
with the flour. A. D. Rodgcrs was
unable to get any substitute in Lin
coln, Omaha Council Bluffs and
has sent to Chicago for those needs.
The mills are unable to fill their
small meal orders, Walter Buohen
stein, A. D. Rodgers and the other
grocers sent in for a car of meal but
out of them all the mills was only
able to supply Rodgcrs and Buchon-
steln. The grocers are unable to
borrow from each other as one mer
chant must keep pound for pound
wheat substitute.
