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 Government Requires Information Regarding Prodnction. A census of the lumber production of the country during 1917 is to be made by the Forest Service in co-operation with the National Lumber Manufactur 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. NEW CORPORATION FORMED Company Organized to Handle Goods Produced in China. The Trans-Pacifio Corporation is a new Portland enterprise organized by A. C Black, who for the last 10 years served as advertising; and export man ager for the Union Meat Company. The new organization is a consolidation of the Overseas Trading Company, of Shanghai, and the import and export department of the Pacific Waste Paper Company, of Portland. The corporation will engage in the importation of general merchandise and raw materials produced In China, the most of which will be marketed in the haL but the main headauarters are in! Portland.

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.

' 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.
