Columbia.-The embargo on flour, wvhich has been in effect in South -arolina, has been raised by order of Villiam Elliott, food administrator for ie State. Since May 16, during the me the embargo on flour has been a in this State, shipments of flour 'ere made into South Carolina only ' permits from the Food Administra on. The lifting- of the embargo leans that there may be free move -went of flour into the State, without ri3rmits, hereafter. The embargo serv I to cut down shipment of flour from 'ie mills at a critical time and through period of extreme shortage so far 23 the wheat supply was concerned. t'uring the embargo, however, there wtas free movement of flour from one part of the State to another, and no ;ection suffered, which was seen to 'y the Food Administration. With the coming in of the new "rheat crop there will be relief, ii the situation, but this does not mean that he public will be relieved from wheat aving. Conservation is still vitally ecessary. A hungry, fighting world i to be fed. Only in the United .states will there be enough wheat, nd the harvest will provide enough i this country only if the people con arm with the Food Administration ules and regulations. '-UGAR OBTAINABLE ONLY IN SMALL LOTS urohases for Household Use Limited by Food Administration.--Sugar Can Be Secured for Cahninrj and Pre-. serving. Columbia.--Under new regulations " sued by the Food Administration - :d which have already gone into ef ett, sugar for household use cannot , purchased in larger lots than two )unds by persons residing in cities td towns, or in larger than five )und lots by persons residing in ru. .1 sections. These new regulations' we been rendered necessary by the igar shortage, which has become se ous. It is unlawful for any dealer violate this rule, and the serious. ass of the situation as regards sugar ills for the most rigid economy -in ____ a use. IVFor canning and preserving fruits ad vegetables, which is regarded as try important by the Food Adminis. ation, sugar can be obtained in lots .> to 25 p)ounds, but not more than 25 > undls will be sold to any one per mn in any one month for canning d preserving. It is necessary, in order to obtain igar for canning and preserving pur. >ses0, - that the purchaser sign a *edge blanks for which the dealer * s on hand, these being furnished the Food Administration. The pur taser pledges himself to use .the -igar so obtained for canning and pro 'rving purposes only, and to return ,the dealer any portion of the sugar )t used for such purpose. Dealers ill strictly enforce this rule. * V The public is urged by the Food Ad. inistration to save every possible *)oonful of sugar. There is none to ~aste. As a matter of fact, thie sugar tuation is serious. Cuban deliveries ave been shorter than were expected. onsumption has been larger. Sub tarine losses have beena heavy, and a 3duction of sugar consunmption all s long the line becomes absolutely nec isary, says the Food Administration.

Workers Teach Returned Russian Soldiers Useful Trades Vith the Governmnt at Washington prepared to lend economic and philanthropic support to Russia, the National War Work Council of the -' M. C. A. is actively recruiting to reinforce the Red Triangle workers already Illanning huts over there. Agricultural experts, physical direc tors and regular Y. M. C. A. secretaries as well as other men familiar with welfare work in communities are being sought. A further consideration of a definite policy toward Russia has served virtually as a "go-ahead" order to the association. The Y. M. C. A., through all uncertainties of the past few months, has kept 100 of its secretaries in Russia. These men have been kept busy day and night in an effort to build up the morale of the citizens and soldiers of the unfortunate coun try. The secretaries today are in all parts of Russia. In the dark days of Russia the American secretaries "stood by" all over that country to serve the people in every way possible. Thousands of invalid prisoners were taken care of as they returned from Germany. Most all the men were broken in health. They died, almost without exception, with curses against Germany. But greater even than their hatred was their wonder that their countrymen could have made "peace" with such an enemy. "The Y. M. C. A. leaders in Russia," said Dr. W. W. Alexander, direc tor of the War Personnel Board of the Southeastern Department, National War Work Council, "have never doubted the essential soundness of the Russian People. Despite all difficulties and inevitable loses and discour agements, the Y M. C. A. has remained in Russia, seeking to serve and watching for a ;tter day. The day is now evidently coming." Fifteen new Acretaries, with ability to contribute some constructive element to the 1; .1.;sian life of the future are being searched for throughout the Southeaste::n Department. Sonic agriculturists are wanted, some business men, but the call comes stronger for men skilled in rural Y. M. C. A. and Community work. All are to go with the purpose of helping Russia help herself.
