SAME m BREAD FORUUEDNMKi I "Fifty-Fifty" Rule Is Superseded b> New Food Administration Regulations Which Permit of Larger Use of Wheat?Victory Mixed Flours May be Purchased Without Buying Substitutes. Columbia.?The 20,000.000 people fighting Germany will eat the some war hrpnri That iu ?... nut, i.i i 1/ oa< iiiui inr war bread of tho allied nations will hereafter be mixed in the snrae proportions of wheat flour and substitutes. The "flfty-flfty" rule, which has been In operation in America, under which It was required that wheat flour be sold only in equal proportion with substitutes, has been superseded by new regulations just announced by the Food Administration and which became effective on September 1. Instead of "fifty-fifty," tho proportion is "eigli* y-twenty." Under this international bread policy. formulated by the inter-allied food council he'd recently In "London, the people of the all> ? countries are per- j mitted to eat bvr'd containing morn wheat flour than tVr have had at any time since the beginning of the war, and all rationing of bread among tho allied peoples will he discontinued at a time when tho wheat si tun* ion in Germany and Austria In anything but promising. At the same time the wheat, resources of tho allied countries will ho conserved so as to maintain the necessary reserves against disaster; and for that reason St becomes necessary for the Food Administration to promulgate the new 'eighty-twenty" rule. The now regulations provide for tho mamFncfur'ng and marketing of a mixed flour, to he known as Victory Mixed FIotit. tvndtv certain standards sot hv the Food Administration. Victory Mixed Vour may ho purchased for household u.tc "without buying subnth uios.

G. I Food Administration Fixes Prioe at $?2 Per Ton for Car Seed and $69 Per Ton for Wagon Seed?Basis of These Prices Shown??Strict Observance Will Result in Square Deal to I All Concerned. j Columbia.?The price of cotton seed has been stabilizeed by the Food Administration at $72 per ton for car seed, and $G9 per ton for wagon seed. ih'j Lus.s oi the above prices is aa follows: Oil at 17Va cents per pound; meal ut $63 per ton in any quantity; hulls at $20 per ton; lint at $0.0407 per pound. The Food Administration is doing all in its power to increase the price of lint, and if the price of lint can he increased, the difference will be shown in the prieo of meal. The strict observance of these prices by all concerned wi:: result in a square deal to all interests, says the Food Adminlsaration. EFFICIENT GINNING AND CLEAN SEED WILL BE INSISTED UPON \ Columbia.?The Food Administration expects the prices fixed for ginning in South Carolina to be followed strictly. Ginning prices were fixed recently, as follows: For ginning a bale of 500 pounds of lint vOttotl Ct less, $3.50 per bale. For each nddi* tional 10 Opounds of lint cotton, at the rate of 70 cents per 100 pounds. When bagging and tics are furnished by ginner, $1.50 additional. The farmer shall have the privilege oi furnishing his own bagging and ties. dinners may not charge on weights Including bagging and ties, hut the prices announced are for not Hut cotton. Bagging and ties weigh 25 pounds. Therefore, ginncrs must not charge in excess of $3.50 a bale, unless Urn weight of the bale, including bagging and ties, is more than 525 pounds. Efficient ginning will be insisted Upon find clean seed must ho delivered. Violations of these rules should be reported to the County Food Administrator or to the Food Administration at. Columbia, and investigation be made. For ginning upland long staple notion, such an Is grown in Darlington and Florence counties, an additional charge of $1.00 per bale is permitted. 1 DON'T GRUMBLE. | Columbia. ?

" ? *ii<u?iuuri on the western front, are expected to determine the nature ami time of the German reply to President Wilson's communication definitely closing the j door to peace negotiation with (lorj man autocracy. The president's j note probably already has reached L'criin through the Swiss fort ;gn office. | Reports reaching Washington toI day through offical sources by the n ay of neutral count ies n >t only itidicated the existence of almost chaotic conditions in the central powers, but also said that it was Field Marshal von Mindmhurg himself who was responsible for the German i ove;T.ment acv'. pting the president's peace terms and se? king an 'mr.udiatc armistice. I was said that ai a recent meeting of the rnilit.*n*v n-..a , .V 1%VI\ i o ctllAI nn jheads of .hi parties in th< reichstag lv; n I i i: d< nburg boldly deck* o?l that Germany must ha\c peace at once i'- hi.

"Prince Maximilian, the chancellor, t$ reported \o have stron.plj opposed , i ucli a course, dreading a reaction I against the junker cUunent by the .Socialists, but imperial approval was given von Hir.dcnburg's plans and the :ocjuont f <r peace f; Mowed* \o indication. has been given ns lOI Av;:on rep us \vi i be made bw Presii dent Wilsmi to Austrian anv| Turkish 'appeals for .vae.o.

The same is true of the Turkish I appeal, and while not officially stalled, it is believed that the prime reaj son for delay in reply to both these applications is to afford time for the president's response to Germany's pv ace proffer to filter to the masses in Austria and Turkey through the rigoivus censorship that exists.
