Office Receipts Pad the Sugar Division Funds
Ottumwa reports a government order to divert sugar division funds to the post office and railroad, ending mail franking and requiring stamps. Iowa sugar administrator W. H. McElroy says the policy increases local post stamp sales and aims to justify wider government ownership before Wilson's wartime measures end. The move shifts $24,000,000 in indirect taxes into Treasury later and inflates postal receipts, critics say.

The British ministry of food has taken over wholesale milk trade in Great Britain to ensure fair distribution amid a looming shortage.
