Atlanta, June 16.—
The military expedition into
Cherokee County to round up de
serters resulted fatally this after
noon for one of the three truck
loads of troops. Four men were
killed, six were tatallv injured and
five others seriously injured, but
with good chances of recovery.
One of the three large army
trucks, carrying a detail of twenty
men, went through the bridge
over Little River, seven miles from
Canton, between 2:30 and 3 o’clock
while the expedition was en route
to the second of the localities to
be searched for deserters, the
Woodstock section of the county
having been finished before day
break and up to noon.
Two other trucks, each carrying
the same number of enlisted men,
escaped accident, one having be

the train and other, trailing to

bridge collapsed.

about 10 or 12 feet on the bridge,
which was about forty feet above
the water, when the stringers
gave entirely away, precipitating

river.
The men were literally poured
out of the truck into the water,
the truck turned turtle as it went

Two of the men were killed out

Another died a few hours later.

They Will Help Save the Wheat
By eating potatoes instead of wheat,
the people of Georgia can better help
win the war.
The situation, in brief, is this. We
have not enough wheat for our Allies
and ourselves. We have an abundance
of potatoes, an excess of 90,000.090
bushels over normal times. If we are
to win this war the Allies must have
wheat. The potato cannot quite come
up to wheat In food value, bur it does
come about as close to taking the
pktee of wheat as any other food
Therefore, by eating potatoes we can
save wheat for the Allies.
Americans should rally to the sup
port of the potato, for, like corn, it is a
native of this continent and is as thor
oughly American as the American In
dian. When it is realized that the
potato is one of the chief foods now
sustaining Germany and that the oth
er European countries are largely de
pendent upon it, its importance in the
war may readily be seen. Yet the po
tato was not known abroad until the
end of the sixteenth century when
both the English and Spanish intro
duced it from their American colonies.
New Mill Feed Margins
A new schedule of maximum prices
which mills may charge for wheat by
products has been announced by the
T T . S. Food Administration. The mar
gins show a general reduction down
ward compared with those previously
in force.
The maximum bulk price of bran per
■ton bears the same relation to the
price of wheat as formerly—38 per
cent of the average cost to the mill
of a ton of wheat. The price of flour
middlings which before was $9.00 per
ton over bran prices has been reduc
ed to a $2.00 differential. Red dog has
also been reduced to a maximum of
$2.00 per ton over the price of bran,
w hereas the former difference was $15.
Mixed wheat feed prices, according
to the new schedule must not be more
than $1.25 per ton over the price of
bran. The former difference was $4.00
per ton. These new price margins are
the outcome of an investigation into
present methods of milling. With the
larger percentage of flour now be
ing milled from wheat, the quantity
of flour middlings and red dog is con
siderably less and these products have
been placed in the same by-produat
group as shorts, standard middlings,
gray shorts and gray middlings. The
bulk price of ail these feeds must not
exceed bran prices by more than $2.00
per ton.
Although these new price margins
are already in force, the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that they are for
bulk carloads at the mill. Persona
buying In small quantities at retail
should consider freight, dealer’s proflt
and cost of sacks. The last item alone
is at present between $5 and $6 per
ton. Both jobbing and retail profits
have been limited, however, to a mod
erate fixed maximum.
