Aug II In onl'T that the consuming public may under stand the seriousness of the sugar situation and the great Importance of strictly observing the Komi Admin latratlon' sugar regulation. Federal Komi Administrator W. B. Ayer lis" it attention to a "catechism" recently Iwojed from Washington. D. 0. and Mr. Ayer nskes that erery Or egon household give this catechism careful consideration "The sugar shortage In the I'tilted States Is real, and not Imaginary." said Mr Ayer, "and the Food Admin istration Is endearorlng to ccttre a fair and equable distribution An al lotment has been made for every state, and any people buying in e cess of their proper allowance a wlthholdlng any sugar above their immediate needs from the gpneral supply. Is simply profiting at the ex pense of other. It should he suffi ciently clear to everyone by now th.it adherence to tha Food Administra tion's regulations la necessary for the common good of all. Anyone violat ing these regulations Is claiming a special privilege for himself, and If the offense Is detected, lie Is subject to the penalty provided under tha Food Control Act. I hope the num ber of khcIi poraons will prove to he small, and that tha Food Administra tion will have the loyal and united support of all Oregon families In Its efforts to fairly distribute the limited supply of sugar allotted to this state each month." Tha "catechism" to which Mr. Ayar directs attention la as follew: Hoe- a. What la sugar boarding 7 Having on head mora than Is need ed for a reaonable length of time. You should not fall to return any un used balance of sugar purchased for canning purpose May a household have a m onth's supply on hand? This Is not Justifiable except In ex treme oases where there Is no atora available for purchase, and It should be done only upon advloa of the Fed eral Food Administrator or his desv uty. What are soma of tha evil effects of hoarding? It throws the distribution system out of Joint; It ralaea prloes; It Im poses a heavier burden upon those al ready doing their utmost; It results In waste where there are no proper facilities for storage. What Is tha moral wrong of hoard ing? It la selfish, cowardly, unpatriotic It Is. In affect, taking unto one's self special privileges at a time when all Americans should be on the eaiuo footing, share and share alike. Is there any punishment for hoard ing? Yea. Tha Food Control Act pro vldeti fines of not mora than $5000 and Imprisonment for hoarding by dealers, manufacturers or house holder. BUY W.8.8.

I could not believe It unleaa I had seen It through and through. Per sev eral weeks Hvsd With It; I wont all about It and back of It; Inside and out of it was shown to me until Anally I came to roallxe that the Incredi ble waa true. It Is monstrous, It la unthinkable, but It exists. It Is the Prussian systam F. C. Walcott. (HIIIMWWIHHIIMH No more graphic description of the ravages of the Oermsn soldiery upon the civilian population of Invaded countries has been given than III con tained In the brief and simple state ments of F. 0. Walcott. now connected with the United States food adminis tration, who was aaslstsnt tn Mr. Hoover while America waa feeding Belgium, Pnlnnd snd northern France. In one of these statements Mr. Wal cott aaya: ' Even now t find It hard to describe In comprehensible terms the mini) f official Oermsnv. will h dominates and ahapoa all German thought and action. Yet It la aa hnrd, aa clear-cut, aa real as any material thing. I saw It In Poland, I aaw the sntne thing In Bel gram, I heard of It In Serbia and Ilou msnis. For weeks It was always be fore me, alwaya tha aame. Officers talked freely, frankly, directly. All the staff officers have the aame view. Lot me try to tell It, aa General von Krloa told me, lo Poland. In the midst of a dying nation. Germany la des tined to rule the world, or at least a great part of II. The German people are so much human material for build ing the German state, other people do not count. All Is for the glory and . might of the German atate. Tha lives of human beings are to bo conserved only If It makes for the sta' 'a ad vancement, their Uvea are tn he sacri ficed If It Is to the slate's adftmtage. The state la all, the people are noth ing. Conquered people signify little In the German account. Life, liberty, happiness, human sentiment, family ties, grace and generous Impulse, these have no place beside the one concern. the great neos of the Oermsn ststa. Starvation must excite no pity ; sym pathy must not be allowed. If It ham-, pera the main daslgm of promoting Germany's code. Starvation Is hero," gold General von Krloa. "Candidly, wo would like to see It relieved ; wo fear our soldiers may bo unfavorably affected by tbu things Ihst they aee. But since It la hero, starvation most serve onr pnr poee. Bo wo aet It to work for tier many. By starvation wo can aeeom pllah la two or three years In East Poland more than wa have In West Poland, which Is East Prussia, la the last hundred years. With that in view, we propose to turn this force to our advantage. This country Is mesnt for Ger many," continued the keeper of starv ing Poland. "It Is a rich alluvial country which Germany has neodod for some generations. We propose to remove the able-bodied working Poles from this country. It leaves li open for the Inflow of German working peo pie as fast aa we can apare them. They will occupy II and work It."
