TIIE SUNDAY OBEGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 22, 1913. SURPLUS L UMBER WORRIES MIL Fear Is Felt That Some Plants in West May Have to Suspend. ' 1 SIDE CUT FAST PILING UP lack of Market for Common I.um toer May Interfere Seriously With J" rod actio a of Government ' Airplane Stock. SEATTLE. Wash. Sept 21. (Special.) v Lack of orders for surplus lir and apruce soon may force some of the mills In Western Oregon and Western Washington to close, and millmen are beginning to fear the effects of such action on future production of air craft stock and ship timber which the ;nvrnment is demanding. The lumbermen say they have done rrthinr no.tsible to move their ac rnmtilations of common lumber, but that it is niline- ud at an alarming rate. Thir onmmercial market has been tikn aviv from them through era ti-rrx nd buildine restrictions and the district has not been favored with large Government orders for common lumber. The situation Is serious, as every mill that is forced to close through inability to move its surplus means a corresponding reaucuon in production of aircraft stock, ship tim ber, railroad material and other gov ernment requirements. Daaarr Is Pointed Oat. The lumbermen have brought the altuatien to the attention of Govern ment officials on the coast and through their representatives at Washington D. C. have impressed it upon members of Congress. The danger of curtailing .the nroduction of aircraft stock has been emDhatically pointed out. The nresent condition, the lumber men insist, is one for which they are in no way responsible. They have ad vised the authorities that the present government demands for aircraft stock, ship timber and other material, require- less than 50 per cent of their output, and that lack of corresponding government orders for common jumoer renders the financing of their opera tions one of increasing difficulty. At the same time, they point out., govern ment orders for common lumber are being placed in large quantities with mills in the South. Coat of Prodartloa la. On account of Increased wages and general price advances the present cost of producing lumber is fully $15 in excess of the normal and the mills are forced to carry their surplus stocks at this excess cost. With a generous distribution of gov ernment orders in this territory for material required in cantonment con struction, boxing, crating and other government work, the lumbermen de clare they would be able to move enough of their side cut to permit con tinued production of essential air craft material. r I MOTHERS' PARADE SUCCESS (Continued From First Page.) and proudly that most of our thanks Is due. f The boys at the front are watching the papers at home and they will know if the second line is doing- its duty," de clared Judge Robert Tucker, in an appeal for the fourth liberty loan.

EAT POUND LESS A WEEK, SAYS HOOVER New Conservation Call Jssued to People of United States by Food Administrator. NO RATIONING IN PROSPECT Greater Simplicity in Living During Coming Tear Urged; Practice of Gospel of Clean Plate Suggested. USTRALIA WILL SEE IT CnACTACQUA TO BE PRESENTED TO CITIES IN AST1PODES.I Ellison-White Company, Leaving Van. aver, B. C Tomorrow, Will Serve as Test for Other Coaatrlea. - Between 30 and 40 talented members of the Ellison-White Musical Bureau will leave Vancouver. B. C tomorrow for Australia, where they will present the first Chautauqua programme ever given in that country. Headed by J. R. Ellison, the company is planning to appear in more than 80 cities and towns of Australia during the next few months. It wag last January that the work of establishing the Chautauqua on the far-distant island was begun by the Elllson-Whlte Company, which has Western headquarters in Portland. A large advance corps of managers, as sistants and field workers have, for the past eight months, been preparing the way for the entertainers who now are following.

Food Ad ministrator Hoover, in ' a statement issued tonight, recommended that the American people reduce their consump tion of food by one pound a week. This reduction Is to include a half pound of breadstuff s and a half pound of meats and fats. Mr. Hoover,, in outlining the food conservation programme recommended for the American people during the coming year, said the United States was prepared to ship 5,730,000 more tons of foodstuffs to its armies and allies than last year and still have a margin over the amount necessary to maintain health and strength at home. There will be no food rationing In this country to long as the people con tinue to conserve, as in the past, Mr. Hoover said. "Of our imports." Mr. Hoover said, "we shall apparently have sufficient sugar to maintain the present consump tion and take care of the extra drain of the allies from our markets, instead of compelling them to send their ships to the Far East. "We can secure in sailing vessels the coffee we need, if no one makes an over-brew. Redaction to Be Secured. "Of our own products we must se cure a reduction In consumption and waste in the two great groups of, first, breadstuffs, and, second, meats and fats that is, in all bread and cereals, beef, pork, poultry, dairy and vegetable oil products. . "The average consumption of our people of breadstuffs amounts to about six pounds per week and of meats and fats to four pounds a week for each person. "A reduction in consumption of less than one-half pound perweek per per son in each of these two great groups of foods would accomplish our pur pose. . We wish to emphasize, however, that we do not want curtailment in the use of milk for children. "Some of our homes, by reason of limited Income, cannot now provide more food than they Should have to maintain health in the family. They cannot rightfully be asked to make the suggested reduction in consump tion. But the great majority or our homes can do more than suggested. Greater Simplicity Called For. "We need even greater simplicity of living than last year. We . estimate that nearly 9,000,000 people eat at our public eating places hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, clubs, dining cars and so forth. The food consumption in these places is larrer than in the average home. We are asking the proprietors and employes of the institutions to under take in many particulars a more strict programme than last year and we are confident that they win willingly aa this. This Is not rationing a thing we shall never have if our people continue to support us. We have so arranged the interna tional food profirramme that except for a moderate substitution of other cereals n bread; it will not, we hope, be neces sary to substitute one xooasiuii iur another, nor to resort to wheatless and meatless days. "It is necessary that every family in the United States study its food budget and food ways to see if it cannot buy less, serve less, return nothing to the kitchen and practice the gospel of the clean, plate." .
