The plan, it is felt in official circles, solves many serious problems which camp commanders faced in preserving strict discipline and at the same time allowing their men necessary relax ation. Somo erf tho men, suddenly taken from an everyday lifo where they did about as they pleased, have found relaxation in nearby cities and towns near the camps where influ ences, have not been of ' the best. Under the new plan, some of tho best jkinds of entertainment tho country affords, including six or more of tho season's bost successes, will be pre sented in the camps, in theaters built by the government; Friends of the soldiers throughout the United States will pay for tha entertain ment by buying SmileoKe books, con taining coupons passing soldiers to it , 1 i. ihe cbaiiiplonsh'p of Southwestern Washington and Enatern Oregon. .More compete dclulla of the indi vidual scoring of the I-n Grande play ers will be published In tomorrow's Observer.

"It is a severe test to take men from civil life and subject them to dis cipline and the entire chuneo which is incident to camp life all nt the same time," says General Johnson. "Anything that can lie done to effect this transition into the military serv ice in a pmoother and loss abrupt manner will tend to the comfort and happiness of those who have will ingly entered the service nnd are cheerfully performing their duty under a very intensive schedule of training.

Tho rules went into ofrect Monday: ' Tn oil WhnlAonln in1 T?..nM T'nnn.. in the State of Oregon: In accordancvo with the Presi dent's proclamation -of this dale and tho rules and regulations promulgat ed by the Food Administration, tho following rules becomo fully effocl ivo on Monday, January 28, 1018: Wheat flour and tho substitutes listed below must bo sold at not nioro than a reasonable advance over act-, ual purchase prlco of particular goods sold, without regrd to market or replacement value and In no ease nt a greater profit than obtained bo foro this order becamo effective. All dealers must conflno their purchases of wheat flour to not more tbhn 70 per cent of their purchases for the corresponding months of last year, nnd all wholesalers must govern their sales to tho retail trado on this basis. Due to congested traffic conditions and the consequent unequal distri bution of Bntuo of the substitutes I have secured a modification of the C0-5U order for this Hiato. The order an applied to Oregon follows: Dealers selling to consumers must sell one pound of n substitute or substitute! with evtry tbreo pounds of fi-henf. flour sold. For instance, to sell a 49 lb. sack of wheat flour a dealer must In the same purchase sell 17 lbs. of ono or more of the BUbrtitutes listed below; with every 2 4 lb. purchase of wheat flour must go a purchase of 8 lbs. of a suhtitltulc, etc. SubtititutPB are as follows: Hurley, buckwheat flour, corn flour, potato flour and rice flour, corn meal, corn starch, coin grits, hominy, oat meal, rolled oats and rb-o.

' Smilcage Campaign on January 28.1 In every community in the United States, January 28, a campaign will be started to provide high class, en-' tertainment for the men in the can tonments and national guard camps.' The campaign will be for tho sale of what is called "smileage" books, little books containing twenty and one hundred coupons good for admission of any soldier to the liberty theatres and liberty tents in tho cantonments and rational guard camps. The little b'k t,re to 1)0 sent by tho pur chasers direct to soldiers who are relatives or personal friends or to the camps for general distribution among soldiers who otherwise might not get a book of passes. Wealthy individuals and business organize-! tions. clubs and societies, it is under-' stood, are planning to buy smileage books in quantities and send them to; camp commanders for distribution as; they sea fit St. Paul has already! ordered 5,000 Bmilcag books and' Minneapolis has plaood an order forj urn.. ministration. Deulers, In making Hales to bakeries, hotels, restaurants, etc., must exercise due precaution, not to exceed the reasonable require ments of their customers. These regulations are not made on account of any present shortage of flour, but in order that a shortugu may not occur later, and thus pre vent tills nation from doing its full duty.to- its Army in Franco and to ttie Allies.
