merely the dispenser of that war commodity and must distribute it not its as a profit making article but on the most equitable and saving terms the august allotment and distribution for utah was vas delayed by reason of the fact that the state food administrator did not relve receive t the 0 announcement of the allotment from washington until july 20 the present allotment based on two pounds per calta was then put into effect in every unit a unit used in una this sense by the local food administration to mean ut city town hamlet of point of distribution an arrangement as aa mado made os as
