From Every Kitchen. Officials Believe Enlistment of Women In Conservation Cam paign Will Be Far-Reacli-lng and Beneficial. The latest move In Herbert Hoover'i campaign calls to the food conserva tlon colors the housewives of Amer ica, and is generally conceded to pre cage certain victory. " Housewives of Portland and Oregon who will be asked to sign the. home card, which pledges them to comply with the requirements mad by the United States lood administration, will be organized without delay for that purpose by W. B. Ayer, Kederal food administrator for Oregon, aided by the strong- executive committee he has ap pointed. The pledg-e which will banish waste from the kitchen and introduce new dishes to the table Is as follows: "I am g-Iad to join you in the service of food conservation for our Nation, and I hereby accept membership in the United States food administration. pledging- myself to carry out the di rections of the food administration in my home, insofar as my circumstances "Will permit." Effect Will Be Fr-Rechlnc, Federal Food Administrator Ayer, discussing the plan to pledge house wives to the campaign for food con servation, declared his conviction that Jta effect would be far-reaching- and beneficial beyond the most hopeful pre diction. "When Mr. Hoover, at President Wil son's request, took charge of the Fed eral food administration problem," said Mr. Ayer. "he conceived the idea of enlisting the support of the-women of the Nation by asking them to sign a card pledging their support to the food conservation programme, Insofar as they could do so. In those states' where Legislatures were in session after our declaration of war, appropriations were made for carrying on the local war activities. No expropriation was pos sible in the state of Oregon and many others, and the state councils have auffered from lack of funds. Campaign Committee Chosen. "The National food administration has therefore directed the Federal food commissioners in each state to perfect organizations for the proper carrying on of active and energetic campaigns to secure the signing of these pledge cards. 1 have therefore, acting under these Instructions, appointed the fol lowing committee: Arthur M. Church ill. S. C. Bratton. Mrs. a. H Btate Superintendent Churchill, Bruce iciinis. james is. Holbrook. Mrs. Jennie Kemp. O. It. Inummer and C. N Wonacott. "This committee will hav full charge or the campaign in this state. Every county in the state will be thor oughly and systematically organized and we are expecting a registration of 100 per cent. "There is every reason why every woman at the head of a household should enlist herself tinder the banner vl iooa conservation and do her part ... i.s mis war. i am Just In re ceipt or a telegram from Mr. Hoover advising me that he has completed Ar rangements whereby three expert con servation organizers will make a tour of the mountain and Pacific states for the purpose of meeting with the state eumimsiraiors. campaign executors committees, etc. These Organizers will meet with administration representa- .i. ir . , V Bon ana Washington at i. no nuiei x-onaina at 10:30 A.

General suggestions found on the Iiome cards, which are to have a place In each kitchen where conservation rules, are as follows: Buy less, cook no more than necessary, serve smaller portions; use local and seasonable sup plies; patronize your local producers and lessen the need of transportation: preach and practice the gospel of "the clean plate"; we do not ask the Ameri can people to starve themselves- eat .plenty, but wisely and without Waste do not limit the plain food of growing children; do not eat between meals; watch out for the waste in ih. munity; you can yourself devise other methods of saving to the ends we wish to accomplish; under various circum stances and with varvlne rnnHitu... you can vary the methods of economiz ing. One "tVfceatless" Meal Advised. The home card advises at least one "wheatless" meal a day, with the sub stitution of corn, oats, rye, barley or mixed cereal rolls, muffins or bread in place of white bread, for one meal, and If possible, two. Less cake and pastry are counseled. Instructions also are given for the conservation of beef, pork and mutton, and for the use of nutritious substi tutes.
