Sugar rationing policy clarified amid hot wartime demand
The Office of Price Administration reports fuller policy explanations to local sugar rationing boards. There is no top limit on sugar for canning beyond one pound per four quarts of finished fruit. Washington promises uniform rules, though misunderstandings have caused consumer hardships. The piece covers wartime inflation concerns, tax bill progress, labor dispute measures, and investigations into war-contract profiteering, noting grand jury actions and bids tainted by brokers and commissions.

First use of Hawkeye for Iowa residents 1839
The name Hawkeye was first given to Iowa residents in 1839. Judge Rorer of Des Moines suggested it and the Fort Madison Patriot, published by James G. Edwards, first used the term. Edwards later moved the paper to Burlington and named it the Burlington Hawkeye. Bob Burdette as a Hawkeye reporter helped popularize the expression.
