RATION PLAN FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF
SUGAR TO STAND
Food Administrator Wattles
Sees Shortage of Sweets for
Three Months After
July 1.
Unless they file before June 10,
a statement snowing amount ana use
of sugar in their business, manufac
turers will not be allotted any more
of this commodity during the year.
Announcement of this ruling is made,
by Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food
administrator, following advices from
Washington.
' This order supplements a previous
ruling by the state and national offi
cials, on which allotments of sugar
were made for a period ending July 1.
Upon the new report to be filed will
be allotted the amount of sugar man
ufacturers can have for a three
months' period, beginning July 1.
Under the former order, manufac
turers of essential products were giv
en their full requirements, while man
ufacturers of what is known as less
essentials were limited to 80 per cent.
"Rationing of sugar will be contin
ued indefinitely," said Mr. Wattles.
The general tendency toward the
gradual elimination of the less essen
tial industries will undoubtedly be
cumulative as the war progresses and
must result in these trades facing a
complete change in their methods Of
doing business. The percentage of
sugar that will 'be allotted 'July il
will not be greater than heretofore.
It may be less."

MOTHER YIELDS
LIFE IN EFFORT
TO SAVE HER SON
Woodbine, la., June 2. (Special.)
The devotion of a mother to her
little son is strikingly exemplified in
the death of Mrs. Roy Johnson, 15
miles northwest of Woodbine.
A few weeks sgo the 3 and 6 years
old sons of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
were playing in the field and the
younger boys clothing caught fire;
the 6-year-old lad threw his brother to
the ground, and put out the fire with
damp earth, but not until the little
fellow was badly burned. As he did
not improve as rapidly as he should,
the mother took the boy to the state
hospital at Iowa City: 100 square
inches of skin was cut from her body
to be grafted to the body of the son;
she died sfter the operation, though
a strong and healthy woman. The
little boy is still in a very critical
condition. - - ...
The body of the mother was re
turned to the home and brought to
Woodbine where the funeral services
were held and the body interred in
the Woodbine cemetery.

Whole Family Serves;
Her Big (Bit) at Home
GIVES HER ALL
Cleveland, Q. May 29. The letter
of a patriotic American mother has
just been made public here because of
the inspiration it contains. Sentiments
of greater sacrifice have not been
uttered since the war began!
The letter was written by" Mrs.
Katherine O'Brien of New York City
to a daughter, Mrs. Grace MeCutche
on of Cleveland.
Mrs. O'Brien sent five sons to
France, two of whom have given up
their lives. A sixth has just enlisted,
a daughter has lost a hand while act
ing as a Red Cross nurse on the bat
tlefield, and another daughter is train
ing for the Red Cross.
Mrs. McCutcheon, the third daugh
ter, obtained employment in a store
here when her husband left for avia
tion service in France. The letter
follows:
My Darling Daughter:
Just wired your sister and youof
your brother Thomas' death, which
I know will undoubtedly upset you
a great deal. But, my dear, you
must not let it worry you. Just think
as I thought it was the will of our
Father in heaven and that our cause
is a noble one and that we cannot
give too much. Where we love and
live we must be willing to sacrifice
all that we can.
My dear, the loss of Larry was hard
for me, as he was the first to go, and
in less than four months to loose our
other boy is a great deal. But I've
only one regret that I have not more
sons to give.
Another Son Enlists.
Paul went down this afternoon to
enlist, I did not want him to go just
now, as he is too young, but I pray
for him and ask the Lord to give me
strength to go to him and say, "My
son, I want you to go ana do just as
your brother has done and, if God
wills, give every drop of blood for a
cause that I will feel proud of."
My dear, I do not want you to wait
any longer, but go and do ybur duty,
as they need you over there for the
sake of your three other brothers
and the one to go. Also think of your
husband, for you may be able to see
them all.
If it were possible for me to give
a helping hand at the cost of my life
I would do so. We give all our time
to the Red Cross, hardly take time
to eat And I know that you are do
ing your share. You say you re
