SHORTAGE WHILE
PLAN IS PREFECTED
Forced to Close Down Until
More Wheat Arrives
Here.
Because of a. shortage of wheat, the
mills of the Shawnee Milling Co.
closed down at midnight Friday night.
They will begin operating again as
soon as four cars of wheat, two for
the local mill, which they have been
informed are on the way, arrive.
The first of September, in common
with all other mills of the country,
the local mill went under government
control. The mill was permitted for
a few days to buy wheat in the open
market, but after the end of the
three or four dajs of grace could buy
only trhough the government or di-
rect from the growers. In the time
given the mill was not able to buy
sufficient grain to last them until
the government organization was
completed, because of little grain be-
ing offered. For this reason, the same
being the experience of other mills
of the country, a flour shortage was
threatened which It Is thought, how-
ever,, will be averted, because of the
rapidity with which the wheat con-
trol is completing iU organization.
The railliug company requisitioned
the government for wheat some days
ago and late in the week received
word that four cars were on the way,
two from Watonga and two from Bes-
sie. Two of these are for the local
mill.
(jSoveriiment Control,
The government control consists in
fixing the price that shall be paid
for wheat, which is $1.96 at Shawnee
and the profit to be made on the man-
ufactured product. Selling for fu-
ture delivery for a longer period than
30 days is prohibited. Export can be
made only on permits Tor each export
sale orders for wheat must be sent
to Kansas City, headquarters for the
district. Bulletin No. 3 of the milling
division the uictttra mates rooa
Administration says:
"Much confusion still exists regard-
ing the buying of wheat by mills.
Please understand that, regardless of
anything you have heard or any in-
btruction or permission received from
any other source, all mills in this de-
partment are forbidden to buy wheat
direct from dealers. Millers must
positively make requisition on this
office for all wheat supplies. So far
movement of wheat permits, distribu-
tion of wheat from country points will
be made with full regard to the
pressing needs of every mill in the
department.

In the announcement of General Korniloff, appointed commander of the
Russian armies after. Brusiloff resigned, that he would march on I'etrograd
to oust Premier Kerensky and assume command of the Russian government,
it seemed the supreme crisis in Russian affairs had come. It was reported
the forces Kerenskv had sent from the capital and some of those of Genera
Korniloff had mt at Luga. Another of the general's detachment was believed
to be advancing on the capital from Narva. The organizations which control
the railroads leading to Moscow, the south toward Kiev, and the western
front were ordered to refuse to transport General Kornlloff's troops toward
the capital. The fleet, which is believed to be anchord in th Gulf of Finland,
nar Petrograd, declared for Kerensky.

administration to protect so far a:-1
possible all established machinery of
the grain trade and mills should
buy wheat at country stations at an

fixed price. Failure to do so con-
stitutes a violation of Section 5 of
the Food Control Bill.
"There is a widespread opinion
among wheat growers that if tfiey
hold their wheat long enough, the
government will be forced to raise |
the fixed price. You should explain
to all farmers and others that the

Garfield commission fixed the price
and adjourned. The president pro
mulgated the nrice and there is abso-
lutely no provision made or under
consideration for any change in the
price named. It is positive and abso-
lute and no attitude of holding wheat
adopted by the farmer could possibly
bring about a change. Please make
this as definite and positive as pos-
sible in your vicinity."
The local millers believe that the
system adopted will be very success-
ful. It can't help but work, they de-
clare, as soon as it is in working or-
der. They consider it a satisfactory
arrangement, "though about all we
have to do now is to make out re-
ports for the government" as one mil-
ler said yesterday.
(Ml Mills Too?
The cotton oil mills are also ex-
pecting to be taken over by the gov-
ernment. It is said that a Chicago
syndicate expected to corner the cot-
ton seed oil production of the coun-
try, and to that end built huge stor-
age tanks at Chicago. These tanks
have been requistioned by the govern-
ment, nnd the alleged pool summarily
broken up.
The news disaptches Saturday an-
nounced that the government has tan-
en over control of sugar.

When Cadillacs and Packards set a merry, merry pace,
When Hupmobilea and Bulcka start to lead me in the race.
When Wlnton Sixes toot their hons and then go whirling by,
I never get excited and I never bat an eye.
But gosh, how mad it maltes me if J'm out to take a ride,
And all at once I hear a horn go a-swakin' at my side,
And see an old Tin Lizile go a-tearin' down the track,
While 1 inhale the dust and smoke that comes a-drlftln' back.
When Kissel Kars and Mitchells leave me many miles behind,
When drivers of the Mercer seem to be a bit unkind,
When Maxwells take my measure, tho it be a better pill,
I'll Btick around and smil a bit and keep a-ramblln' still.
But gosh, how all het up 1 get when motoring along,
If Lizzie comes a-puffin' up and squawks that awful gong,
And beats me down the thorofare, and then goes on her way—
I don't soe how she does it, but she does it every day.
