Oklahoma.
The following is a copy of the no-
tice sent out by Mr. Muldrow to res-
idents of this county:
August 1, 1918
To Dealers and Consumers of
Food Staples in Cleveland
County:
Beginning: Saturday, Augus.
10, 1918, the Cleveland county ,
fair price committee will publish |
weekly lists giving the prices |
dealers shall charge consumers
for all staple articles of food.
The margin of retailers' profit
has been fixed on mill feed, flour
and sugar. On mill feed fifteen
cents per hundred pounds from
dealers' station to place of busi-
ness, with five cents per hundred
pounds extra for delivery.
On sugar the basis of profit
has been fixed at one cent per
pound over carrying charges.
The retailers' margin on flour
depends upon the size of the sack
but should not exceed one cent
per pound on a basis of twelve
pound sacks.
The retailers will in the future
be required to make weekly re-
port's to the county food admin-
istration, showing the amount of
sugar sales and the names of the
purchasers, also the cost and the
selling price of all staple arti-
ces of food.
Famiy sugar certificates will
be issued by the dealers as soon
as the same can be furnished by
the food administration, and
purchases of sugar for ordinary
home consumption can be made
only upon certificate and from
the dealer issuing the same. This
is done in order to prevent "re-
peaters," and the name of any
person found indulging in this
practice will be published in the
papers and his certificate revok-
ed.

County Food Administrator.

Injunction Granted
\gainst New I.-iunclry
A temporary injunction was grant-
ed in district court Thursday after-
noon against Biggs &Gable, propn- |
etors of the new Ideal laundry on (
West Main street, and C..T. Walcher,
owner of the building, to become ef-
fective when the plaintiff, the First
Presbyterian church of Norman, ■
makes a bond of $2,000, pending a
final decision of the case.
The injunction was granted to re-
strain the owner of the building and
proprietors of the laundry from vio-
lating an ordinance recently passed
by the city council providing that it
shall be unlawful to operate an oil
mill, cotton gin, steam laundry, ma-
chine shop, garage or blacksmith
shop within 150 feet of any church ~ xWnv
building, schoolhouse or hospital LEWIS M CALL NOW ' >

To the Bakers of Cleveland
County:
The rules of the food admin-
istration require that you use
one (1) Pound ot substitute cer-
eals for every three (3) pounds
of wheat flour in making bread
dough, For other products you
must use one (1) pound of sub-
stitute for every two (2) pounds
of wheat flour.
A few bakers seem to think
that their rule of substituion
means one pound of substitute
to four pounds of flour. This is
NOT CORRECT and will not be
tolerated. Three bakeries were
closed in Oklahoma City last
week for violation of this very
rule. Bakeries are checked
through their weekly reports
and my instructions from the
federal' food administration are
mandatory to report all viola-
tions and to require that the
weekly reports be made regular-
There will be no change made
in the amount of substitutes re-
quired without sixty days' notice
having previously been_ given.
Pay no attention to notices go-
ing around about reducing sub-
stitutes; vou will have due and
timely notice of changes in the
rules. . .,
When there is any matter
about which you have not had
clear instructions from the
chairman of the baking service
board, do not hesitate to call up-
on my office.
Very truly yours,
H. L. MULDROW,
County Food Administrator.
