Entertainments In "Hut" Proving to
Be Most Successful.
Finding that serving refreshments to
soldiers who enjoy the regular Satur-
day night "hut" entertainments in the
auditorium of the Portland Y. M. C A.
Is proving a most successful, patriotic
service, the central committee of Port
land war auxiliaries has arranged to
prepare the menu for each Saturday
night hereafter. The committee in
charge consists of Mrs. T. C. Morris,
Mrs. E. lb Doneka and Mrs. M. E.
Daniel.
For the coming Saturday evening the
responsibility has-been delegated to
the Auxiliary of Company A, 116th
Engineers. Two unusual features of
entertainment are to be introduced for
the pleasure of the soldiers in the Y.
M. C. A. "hut" Saturday evening. P.
Waldo Davis will give 30 minutes of
muslo on his "Golden Chimes," with
which he delighted immense audiences
at the world's fairs in St. Louis and
San Francisco. The students of Jef

elaborate playlet.
BAKER FIRST TO REPORT
Town Leads State In Providing War
Stamp Stations.
Baker Is reported to be the first
city In the state to achieve 100 per
cent in the matter of providing war
savings stamp selling stations. Its al
loted quota of stations was 79. D. W.
French, county chairman, yesterday
morning sent word to state headquar-.
ters that the last one of the desired
79 distributing points had been estab
lished. Baker also has five agencies
other than the postomce and banks.
In the sale of savings stamps the
Portland Postofftce ranks 16th in the
United States, reveals the latest bulle
tin from National headquarters of the
crusade. The local office, with sales
aggregating $23,272.80 to its credit,
topped such places as Buffalo. Cleve
land, Atlanta, Penver, Louisville, New
Orleans. New Haven, Salt Lake City
and Seattle.
GOAL TAG DAY HELD
Children Help Campaign for
Saving of Fuel.
SHOVELS ARE DECORATED
Slessagcs Explaining How to Save
Heat Are Tied on Most of Coal
Shovels of State by Enterpris
ing Youngsters in Campaign.
School children throughout the state
yesterday co-operated with Fuel Ad
ministrator Holmes in the observation
of "coal tag day." As a result of
their combined activity every shovel
used for feeding coal to a furnace
or stove in every Oregon household
last night should have been tagged
with a message calling attention to the
need for conserving the Nation's fuel
supply.
The campaign was state-wide. Every
schoolteacher in the state was supplied
in advance with a supply of these tags,
which were distributed yesterday
among the pupils In his room, with
Instructions to tie one on every coal
shovel In the community in which
they lived. In all 40,000 of these tags
were sent out from the office of Mr.
Holmes In this city. One side of the
tag carried the message: "Save tha
shovelful of coal a. day for Uncle
bam." On the reverse side was printed
1. Cover furnace and pipes with
asbestos or other insulation; also
weather strip your windows or stuff
cracks with cottons -
2. Keep your rooms at 68 degrees
(best heat for health).
3. Heat only the rooms you use all
the time.
. Test your ashes by sifting. If
you find much good coal, there is
something wrong with your heater.
See a furnace expert.
6. Write to the maker of your fur
nace or stove for praotical directions
for running economically.
6. Save gas and electric light as much
as possible. This will help save coal
for the Nation.
Oregon is not an extensive user of
coal for fuel, but the distribution of
the tags was made wherever that fuel
is used. In order to stimulate the dis
trlbutlon of the tags by school chil
dren it was announced In various
schools throughout the state that the
pupil who decorated the greatest num
ber of coal shovels with tags would
have the honor of so decorating the
shovel of the Mayor in his home town
In Salem the pupil with the, highest
record will tie a tag on the Governor's
coal shovel.
In a few of the schools pupils were
asked to prepare essays on "Coal Sav
ing." The winner in the contest, as a
reward, is to decorate publicly the
shovel used at the school building in
the presence of the patrons of the dis
trict and in connection with other ap
propriate exercises at a later date.
TIMBER CENSUS ORDERED

ers' Association, as In past years. Ques
tionnaires have already been mailed to
the 30,000 sawmills throughout the
country asking that the amount of
each kind of lumber cut be reported
promptly.
It Is pointed out by officials of the
Forest Service that the lumber census
a of particular importance at this time,
because of the large quantities of spe
cial material needed for the conduct
of the war. Several of the Government
departments, they say, depend upon the
Forest Service for data and technical
advice on subjects connected with lum
ber. Since the entry of the United
States Into the war, this demand has
been greatly increased.

HOUSEWIVES STOCK UP FEARING
FAMIXE, GROCERS SAY.
Plenty of Flour Is on Hand to Supply
Aorthwest for Season, Is
Statement Made.
Flour millers and wholesale grocers
report that housewives In some parts
of the city are trying to stock up with
flour in violation of the food regula-
tlns, believing that a shortage of wheat
flour threatens this part of the coun
try. This is not the case. There is
enough wheat left in the Northwest to
supply the flour needs of all consum
era here during the remainder of the
season, and also provide a great quan
tity to be exported to Europe.
One of the provisions of the Federal
food act specifies that the necessary
wants of the American people shall be
attended to, and the grain corporation
Is charged with the distribution of
wheat so there will be no shortage in
any locality. It was to Increase the
supply of flour that could be shipped
to the allies that the President issued
his recent proclamation calling for a
larger use of substitutes, and not be
cause of any threatened flour famine.
The President s order came so sud
denly that many wholesalers were not
prepared to lay in a sufficient stock, or
flour substitutes, but orders for sup
plies were rushed out and there will
soon be an adequate quantity here.
The mills in the Northwest are adapt
ing their machinery to barley grind
ing and flour made from Oregon and
Washington barley is now on the mar
ket and selling at the same price as
wheat flour. Rice flour is also being
shipped to Portland from California and
dealers have taken steps to obtain a
sufficient quantity of white corn meal
from the East.
The wholesale price of these articles
has not been raised in consequence of
the ereatly increased demand and there
is no reason why retail prices should
be any higher than they were.

Says corns stop hurting, then . t
lift right off without
one bit of pain T
Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you Invite lock
jaw or blood poison, which Is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone costs but a few cents
at any drugstore but Is sufficient to
rid one's feet of every hard or soft
corn or callus without even one little
twinge of pain. '
You simply apply a few drops of this
froezone on a tender, aching corn and
the soreness is instantly relieved.
Shortly the entire corn can be lifted
out, root and all, with your fingers.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to Just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even Irritat
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. Adv.
