(JHAZIXG 1'RIVIIiIXiES MI ST NOT BE SOLD District Forester George H. Cecil announces that the secretary of agrl- culture"ls notifying all holders of per nits for grazing livestock on the na tional forests that the payment of any bonus or allowance for waiver of tho grazing privilege in connection with sales of livestock or ranch prop erties will be cause for revocation of the permit. This is In accordance with one of tue regulations governing the use of the na'tlonal forests for grazing privi leges, which provides that permits will be granted only for the exclusive use and benefit of the owners of the Block and will be forfeited if sold or transferred in any manner or for any consideration. To protect permittees who may wish to dispose of their property against the losses which sac rifice sales would Involve, It has been customary to allow continued use of the national forest ranges by the new owner. Without some provision for this, the Forest Service grazing offi cials point out, holders of permits who wish to go out of business would pot be able to obtain a fair value for their property. But the procedure has aimed throughout at such a safe guarding of the situation as would prevent the acquisition of anything approaching vested rights in the pub lic property by private individuals or companies. ' Owing to the great and ever-grow ing demand for use of the forest ranges, which Is now In most regions far beyond their capacity, the graz ing privilege 13 of large value. Upon the national forests the government applies a system of regulated use de signed to encourage production, pro mote the upbuilding of the country along healthy lines, and secure the greatest good to the greatest number, but makes only a moderate charge for the grazing permits. In the view of those in charge of the national forest grazing business, It would be entirely unfair for the public to forego a maximum return for the value of use of Its property and then allow those granted the privilege of uae to collect this value from others, a3 the price of surren dering their privileges. Such a prac tice would, they say, make competi tive disposal by the government of the grazing the only logical course. As Secretary Houston says in warn ing the range users that the payment of bonuses or the giving of any con sideration to secure the filing of a waiver of the grazing privilege is prohibited, "such a payment would be a consideration for a privilege the granting of which is wholly within the discretion of the government and for which no one is entitled to re ceive compensation. Therefore any such payment will be "sufficient cause for tho revocation of permit or forfeiture of all grazing preferences lased upon the purchase of permitted stock." MASHED POTATOES AS FLOUR SUBSTITUTE Oregon housewives can kill two birds with one stone In their conserv ation work by mixing mashed pota toes with the flour in making bread. "The potato-grower needs encour agement, and we must save wheat wherever possible," says Federal Food Administrator Aver, "and both tnese purposes will be served if the patriotic women of Oregon will com ply with the earnest request of the food administration that they adopt the rule of mixing 10 per cent of mashed potatoes with the flour in HOTEL MANX Powell St, at OTarrcK San Francisco In the heart of the business, shopping and theatre district.

I The potato Is a simple and wholesome substitute that may be had at a reas onable price, and is entirely practical for home bread-making. All the com mercial bakers are now making their bread and pastry dough with a gen erous mixture of either mashed pota toes or potato flour for the 'victory' breads, and now it Is up to the house wives to do their share in this mat ter. Experts pronounce the mashed potato an entirely satisfactory sub stitute, and from samples submitted to me I can personally say that the use of the mashed potatoes up to 10 per cent In no way detracts from the taste, quailty or appearance of the loaf. In fact, it is my personal opinion that the potato Improves the taste", quality or appearance of the that the women of two generations ago used ma3hed potato In mixing tneir dough quite generously and that the potato was considered neces sary In the mixing of the choicest bread and pastry."

So great is the need that knitting now -may be said to be the national feminine avocation. Those who have no loved ones to provide for person ally give their articles to Red Cross, National Defense clubs or other or ganized home supporters of the armed forces. Every one of these or ganizations ha3 many more calls for these comforts (often more probably) than can possibly be filled; in fact, t.ieir workers now hoard the scanty supply for the benefit of especially r.eedy cases, boys from the tropics or from our southern states, for exam ple.

MAXV REASON'S FOR SHORTAGE OF WHEAT Millions of men have been taken from wheat-raising and have gone into the trenches. Fields have been laid waste by the enemy. Food sup ply ships have been, sunk by subma rines. Crops In other countries have been poor. These are some of the reasons why there Is a shortage of wheat and why we are asked by Mr. Hoover to conserve in our kitchens and at our tables. Four hundrod million bushels of wheat is a large amount, but we must supply it.
