INDIANAPOLIS, Jin. 2. An easemeat of the sugar situation is apparent from the direction Just received - by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, from the federal administration at Washington, which will permit of the sile of 80 per cent of requirements to confectioners and manufactures of non-essential food products. Up to this time, since the sugar shortage became acute, these user 8 have been privileged to buy and use only fifty per cent of their former requirements. , This concession on the part of the federal administration, Dr. Barnard la advised, is in anticipation of the new crop. It does not imply any relaxation, however in the strict regulation of the individual consumption, which continues at a maximum of three pounds per month. Nor are grocers to alter the rule limiting sales and quantities. Following is the telegram by Dr. Barnard from the federal food administration: "The sugar division of the food administration has sent the following wire to sugar distributing committee?: In October you were requested to limit sales to confectioners and man

ufacturers of non-essential food prod-'

nets to fifty per cent of their normal requirements. On account of the close approach of sew crops of sugar you are hereby authorized to sell to said confectioners and manufacturers up to eighty per cent of their requirements. It is hoped that as soon as definite information is obtained as to the probable outturn of the new crops, all limitations will be removed. Consent atlon should be practised, hqwever, and, we request that you suggest to the confectioners and manufacturers of non-essential food products that they use substitutes for sugar wherever possible, 6uch as honey glucose, etc. This ruling should enable these manufacturers to maintain their organizations and continue in their employ the people who have been with them for so many years."

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 2. Relief

from the high price of stock feed Is conveyed to Indiana dairymen and stock feeders, who have faced a desperate situation for months, by an order from the United States food administration fixing the price of bran at 3$ percent of the price of wheat at the mill. Other feeds are to be graded on a proportionate basis, as to price. Official notice was received today by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, from the milling division of the food administration, and the request added that all cases wherein this regulation is Ignored or not strictly obeyed be reported promptly. Dr. Barnard asks county food administrators, councils of defense and others to assist la giving the regulation publicity and assist in exposing all violations. For several months the Indiana State Council of Defense, through appropriate committees, has been working to prevent the dissemination of herds of milch cows, which were reported sold for beef, in large numbers, in every quarter of the state. Need Is Recognized. The imperative necessity of an In' crease In the price of milk. If the farmer or dairyman was to be enabled to pay the Increased prices of feed and still operate his milk business at a profit, was recognized generally by the members of the Indiana committee on food production and conservation, which has co-operated in an effort to secure the regulation, which ii reported to Dr. Barnard by William Zang, divisional manager of the milling division of the food administration, as follows: "It is quite true that the prices on mill feed soared to unreasonable heights and the milling division immediately took steps to correct. By milling division circular No. 6, effective December 25, the bulk price per ton On bran at mill, in carloads, shall in no case exceed 33 percent, of the average cost to such mill of one ton of wheat at the mill. This will immediately result In reductions of from $10 to $15 per ton on bran and other mill feeds will he correspondingly reduced." With the regulation price of f2.08 per bushel for wheat at the mill, this will make the administration's price for bran $26.35 per ton in Indiana. It has sold up to $40 per ton. The earing. Dr. Barnard says, will serve to relieve the milk and stock feeding situation at once." ...

Melville Boynton.

NEW YORBJ, Jan. L Melville Boynton is out of his element in a chair before a fire, but a man just must rest some time. And Boynton, with the king's" silver medallion on his chest, has earned his rest. He has just been invalided borne from England after three years of

Valiant service.

Boynton, soldier of fortune and veteran of many wars, is fifty-three years old and has been wherever there was fighting since 1868. His most recent service was in German East Africa, where he served With General Smuts' forces. He characterizes the conquest of this German province as the worst campaign he has ever been through. He has written the story of this con

quest and It is as stirring a tale of adventure as any fiction. In bis narrative he tells of General Smuts'. 900-mile march from the coast to DafeS'&alaam, the German capital, and it has all the dum-dum and wellpoisoning flavor Africa Is capable of putting out And to the African atrocities are added the touches which German "kultur" conceives. . Boynton was in the limelight on the world's stage many times daring the revolutionary periods in Central America and he earned himself the pseudonym. "The Trouble Maker of Central America.' Before he went to Africa he served with the British at the Marne and he has been decorated with the medal of the foreign legion besides the king's medallion.
