aa they have never fought ta’toie
and that the ioaa in young man

"We tried to tilde behind our

Dean DuBuch hue traveled in
the orient and Germuny since
the first world war. lie iiad am

the people of those countries

Americas friendship for <?hina

college man lie said one element
in the country was pouring iron
and steel into Japan so the Jnps
could go over and blow up the
Chinese while another elemcn.
(the church people) were raising
funds to send over bandages tuid
medical supplies to put our friends
together so the Japs could blow
them up all over lie also pointed
to the necessity of "pitching” with
South America from here on out.

Following this line of thought he

The most significant feature o>
the dean s talk was his opening
remark about the rumored peace

Sugar rationing was the order

one serving meals for pay, if it
be but bne boarder, was handled
by the registrars at the high
school.
Dealers not having excess stocks
are issued certificates which they
present to the grocer. The certin-
cates are in triplicate, one of
which the grocer retains. The cus
tomer ta issued stamps, one of
which must be presented with
each purchase. The grocer is re
quired to keep a file of stamps to
enable him to renew his stocks of
sugar.
Under the new setup, bakers
and confectioners are granted su
gar in the amount of 70 percent
of their normal requirements. Eat
ing houses have been cut to 50
percent of their normal use.

ual consumer registration which

Twelve thousand less traffic fa

today.
The three winning states, Ore
