FRUITS MUST BE HELD

Action of reed AdaalalatraMen Is
Takes Indicate Extensive
Goverassrat Orders.
Firms engaged In the fruit drying;
Industry have bsea ordered by the
Government not to enter into contracts
for tha sale of their output prior to
Junel. After that date all quotations on
carload lots of dried apples, prunes.
peaob.es and raisins must be filed with
the National Food Administration. It
Is believed that these restrictions point
to rathsr extensive orders for evapor
ated fruita from the Government.
Tha date set originally for bringing
the Industry fully under license re
strictions was May 1. but this baa
been changed to June 1. Operators In
this state may get facta concerning
the new regulations .from their county
administrators, the State Food Admin
istration having- been unable to get in
touch with all evaporating; plants and
firms.
One phase of the restrictions that
Is new eliminates the "facing" of boxed
products In containers of a else larger
than ! pounds In weight. The waste
fulness of the practice Justifies this
restriction. It la declared.
SAN F-RANCISCO. May 1. Licensed
deslers In dried fruits. Including prunes.
raisins, peaches and apples, will not
be permitted to make sales prior to
June 1. It waa announced today In a
telegram from the Food Administra
tion at Washington to Ralph P. Mer-
rite state food administrator. t
Fruit growers will not be materially
affected. Merrltt said, as no restrict
ion is made on buying for future de

ERFECT WAR LOAF FOUND
Formnla for Xew Bread Contains
4 Ter Cent Substitutes.
There Is a difference between wsr
bread and victory bread, although
any people do not realise it: Food
Commissioner Ayer wants It understood
distinctly that wsr bread Is 40 per cent
ubstltuta. while victory oresd is only
i per cent substitute.
After weeks of experimenting a for
mula for war bread has been devised
hlch utilises 40 ner cent substitute In
such a combination that It hasbeen
dubbsd the "perfect" war loaf. The
new recipe for war bread calls for 00
per cent wheat. I per cent potatoes (un
cooked weight), ii per cent barley flour
aad 10 per cent com flour.
Mr. Ayer urges that the bakers of
Oregon lose no time In standardising
their war bread according to the new
formula.

OFIMO O WITHDRAWAL.
Caadldate for V. S. Seaate Expected tm
Br la a Salt-Cempelllas; Reaaeral
ef Kasae Fress Ballot.,
SALEM. Or.. May 1. (Special.)
Attorney-General Brown held In abey
ance today the Issuance of an opinion
as to whether or not the name of S. B.
Huston may be stricken by the County
Clerks from the Republican primary
ballot as a candidate for the lone; term
United States Senatorshlp, pending de
termination of whether or not the
question will be adjudicated In the
courts. District Attorney Evans, of
Multnomah County. informed the
Attorney-General this morning- that a
suit of that nature was In contem
plation. la the . meantime tha Attorney-
General was suggesting to the many
County Clerks who called up to refer
the matter to their respective Dis
trict Attorneys. It Is expected that
one of these District Attorneys will in
turn present the matter formally to
Mr. Brown, and In erent speedy action
Is not taken in the courts he will then
offer an opinion.
Mr. Brown said today that In those
counties where the ballots have been
printed he considered It doubtful if the
clerks can be compelled to have them
reprinted, as the clerks have merely
performed an act In the regular per
formance of their duty, and the coun
ties could not be expected to bear the
expense of reprinting.
All of the County Clerks received
telegrams from Mr. Huston today
notifying them of his withdrawal and
of the fact that he had filed an affi
davit as provided by law setting forth
the fact of his withdrawal.
Under the opinion of Attorney
General Crawford, cited by Mr. Brown
Saturday, the matter has passed en
tirely out of the hands of the Secretary
of State, and so passed out of his
hands when he certified the names on
the ballot to the respective County
Clerks. As a result the action to be
taken lies entirely with the clerks until
the courts pass on the subject, or
until the Attorney-General furnishes an
opinion.
