Lies About Wheat Spread In Iowa Wartime Food Campai
Burlington reports widespread false rumors about food rules in Iowa during the wartime drive. Claims that all wheat flour would be banned from May and that eggs could not be sold in April are denied by the state food administration. Administrator Deems urges voluntary restraint to save wheat flour, with no compulsory measures. A trader, H. B. Roberts of Postville, is fined 500 dollars, required to apologize publicly, and loses his flour selling license for retail sales without proper substitutions.
