TO CUT WHEAT
USEJE-HALF
Military Necessity Demands That
Each American Eat Only 1 V 2
Pounds Wheat Products
Weekly.
CORN AND OATS SUBSTITUTES.
Alliee Must Have Wheat Enough to
Maintain Their War Bread
Till Next Harvest
If we are to furnish the allies with
the necessary proportion of wheat to
maintain their ur bread from now
until the um harvest, and this I a
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21.000.000
bushels a uiotuh as against our nor
mal consumption of about 4Z000.000
bushels, or 50 per cent ot our normal
consumption. This Is the situation as
set forth by the U. S. Food Adminis
tration at Washington. Reserving a
margin for distribution to the army
and for special cases, leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately 1V
pounda ot wheat products weekly per
person, the Food Administration's
statement continues: Many ot our
consumers are dependent upou bakers'
breed. Such bread must be durable
and therefore requires a larger propor
tion of wheat products than cereal
breads baked In the household. Our
army and navy require a full allow
ance. The well-to-do In our population
can make greater sacrifices In the con
sumption of wheat products than rau
the poor. In addition, our population
In the agricultural districts, where the
other cereals are abundant are more
skilled in the preparation of breads
from these other cereals than the
crowded city and Industrial popula
tions. j With Improved transportation condi
tions we now have available a surplus
of potatoes. We also have In the
spring months a surplus of milk, and
we have ample corn and oata for hu
man consumption. The drain on rye
and barley as substltutee has already
greatly exhausted the supply of theee
grains.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
I we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
. rules shall be observed :
L Householders to use not to exceed
a total of lVt pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than l pounds ot
) Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-hulf
, pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
J breakfast cereals, ail combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, at at present
In addition thereto, not to serve te
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuff's, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
nnless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
1 0f the householders,
3. Retailers to sell not more than
! one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of a barrel
! to any country customer at any one
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
told, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in other weights. We ilso ask bakers
not to Increase the amount of tbelr
wheat flonr purchases beyond 70 per
cent of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March L
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There Is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat potato flour, et
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so In perfect health and satisfac
tion. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households In the
country to follow this additional pro
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are ab
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-operation
of the public by a further limita
tion of distribution, and we shnll place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure ns nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necesxnry patience, sacrifice
end co-operation of the distributing
trades.

Colonel Roosevelt afterwards, with a

KALAMA, Wash., May 27. Sheriff
Clark Studebaker and Prosecuting At
torney Deios Spauldlng, of Cowlitz
county, and Sheriff Clair Ward, ot
Okanogan county, arrived here last
night with William R. Horner, in the
same automobile in which Horner,
Mrs. Nellie Bassett and her two chil
dren, Ada, 13 and Ana, 11, began
their journey out ot the state, which
terminated In the murder of the
woman and two children at Kelso, May
27. The flight and capture ot Horner
was followed by his confession to the
crime In Seattle early Sunday morn
ing. The officers accompanying Horner
here from Seattle say that the mur
derer broke down in the Seattle Jail
when shown photographs of the bodies
of his victims and made a complete
confession of the trlpple murder, deny
ing, however, that he bad murdered
the husband and father of his vic
tims, four years ago.
A message received from Cowlitz
county by Sheriff Studebaker at Seat
tle on Saturday stating that the resi
dents of this county were preparing
to lynch the confessed murderer when
he arrived was apparently a hoax, as
the murderer and the three officials
accompanying him passed through on
their way to this city, where Horner
Js now lodged in Jail, without causing
any excitment.
MEMORIAL DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
ON FRENCH SOIL
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Saturday, May 27. The
American dead, sleeping In the soil
of France, will receive the homage
of the American army on Memorial
Day. Many of those who have given
their lives for their country are burl
ed in graves over Which shells and
bullets are flying close to where they
fell. Hut wherever they are resting,
their comrades will bear them In
mind and pay tribute to their mem
ory. To many Americans now fighting
in France Memorial Day heretofore
simply has meant a holiday. In a
vague way they appreciated the mean
ing of ths decoration of graves by the
s-.irvivors of Civil war days, but now
they regard Memorial Day in a differ
ent light, for it means honoring the
memory of men they have known,
bunked with and fought with.

Head ot the vartou local exepiu
I to n board look for an early receipt
of order to begin reclassifying reg
istrants with the view ot plating
those not engaged In useful work In
Clat 1. exemption board member
today expressed themselves at well
pleased with the new order ot thing
at It glvet them opportunity lo put
would be thrlkert and Idler Into use
ful employment or In the army.
"The order," said Ian J. Malarkey,
secretary ot the district exemption
board, "will have the effect of reliev
ing labor shortage in Oregon to
marked degree aud at the tame time
nill make It possible to draw on the
unmarried men more for army service.
"In the shlpyardg today are sev
eral thousand unmarried men of draft
age who are now und t deferred
classification because they are en
gaged in the work. Many of them
secured employment a unskilled men
In the shipyard to escape service.
"At the same time there are several
thousands of murrled men and those
wlth dependent who are engaged In
non-productive occupations. The order
will cause them to seek positions In
the shipyard, and this In turn will
make It poHnlblu to draft lite unmar
lilg wage offered by Industry,
rled men now employed In them.
"Tho order likewise will send many
men to the farms, where they are
badly needed. The farms have been
diploid of labor through volunteer
enlistments of farm boyt nnd the
draft, and through desertion for the
more attractive lite of the city and
"There 1 need of men In the tim
ber and mill also, Here married men
can get Jobs. Industrial plants of all
sort are seeking more help and the
order will make It pottibla for them
to get employee."
The first work of the local boards
after orders are received from Wash
ington will be to go over their de
ferred classification lists and ascer
tain how many men there are em
ployed now who can be used In more
useful linos. Then the men probably
will bo called before the boards for
examination.
In case It Is found that a man can
make changes without disturbing the
buaines be it in or without working
unduo hardship on his dependants he
will bo Instructed to get another Job
and do It within a specified time.
In short, the order means that wo
men will replace men where they can
do so easily and the men will be put
on Jobs that are man shod.
