Lewis, emergency home demonstration agent, we cheerfully print this timely article taken from The Journal of Home Economics: There is atlll some misunderstand-in misunderstand-in regard to the purpose of the 60-50 order.

Complaints that one is payiug twice too much for flour because the cost of the other cereals is counted In, are quite out of ( lace. Neither are these substitutes to be hoarded or destroyed. It is surprising how many intelligent people have failed to grasp the real situation and see how serious the shortage of wheat has become, and how necessary it is to conserve it in every way. Everyone who understands the situation sit-uation should do her best to make it clear to any neighbors or friends w ho are without this knowledge. |
