IV HEAT COXSEKVATIOX
IS MOST IMPORTANT
Portland, Ore., April 11. "The
cofsenation of wheat Is the most Im
portant duty of the nation during the
next four months. I can not stress
too emphatically the Importance of
Hhis duty, which now confronts every
man, woman and child In the United
States'
These are the words of Federal
Tood Administrator W. B. Ayer, who
earnestly urged the people of Oregon
to cut their use of wheat flour down
to the least possible amount, or to
eliminate It altogether, for the period
named.
"1 wonder," said Mr. Ayer In a re
cent Interview, "how many people
liave considered that the real solu
tion of the wheat-saving problem is
tlie absolute abandonment by us all,
ef purchasing wheat flour at all.
This need not be the hardship that It
rounds, for the various substitutes
are now more plentiful and we are
all learning how to use them In mlx
li'g palatable breads and pastries.
"We are also learning that by eating
more potatoes, rice and vegetables
especially potatoes we require less
lti ead.
"The Food Administration head
quarters at Washington report that
there are now several thousand men,
women and children banded together
In Rmnll clubs In different parts of
the country, who are pledged to eat
no wheat at all for the next four
months. These clubs are composed
f loyal Americans who realize, as
so many do not, the seriousness of
the food problem and who eagerly
welcome the opportunity for this
Blight personal sacrifice' as a war
service. I have not as yet heard of
eny such organization in Oregon, but
I personally know of a large number
c loyal families who have quietly
adopted the wheatless program, and
who are rigidly adhoring to It. I am
hoping the good example set by these
clubs' and families will bring others
to a realization that wheat-saving is
a military necessity and that anv one
who is not, his or her utmost in this
regard is falling Bhort of his or her
duty.
"The free and undisciplined people
of this nation should keep In mind
at all times that we are at war with
a country whose people are under the
most rigid discipline;and who obey
unquestlonlngly every rule laid down
for them. How can we hope to win
against such an organization If we do
not show more readiness to follow
the rules and regulations which are
laid down for us by our own leaders
without more teamwork? Mr. Hoo
ver has asked this nation for team
work, and the Food Administration
must have It. 'Without teamwork,
and the most cordial, whole-hearted
kind of teamwork, we will fall short
of our most Important and most Im
perative war service thait of feeding
the fighting armies and the famish
ing peoples allied with us in this
great lifeand-death struggle against
the rule of Prusslanism. The Food
Administration, charged with the
duty and the difficult task of provid
ing food for the fighting forces across
the sea, nd for the struggling civil
ian population of the allies, has
asked us to save wheat. Let us save
wheat."

Orders for the mobilization of the
first large number of men of the sec
ond draft will go out to the govern
ors of the states very soon.
Fifteen thousand men of the sec
ond draft are now mobilizing and
the April call about to go out will
represent probably more than the
month's proportion of the 800,000
men who it previously has been an
nounced will be called during the re
maining nine months of the year. To
call the 800,000 In equal monthly In
crements would mobilize them at tho
rate of 90,000 a month, approximate
ly. However, there is no assurance
that this will be a fixed figure be
cause the flow of mon will be deter
mined by the needs of the army in
France. As General Pershing may
call for specially qualified troops an
average of 90,000 a month may be
much exceeded or much decreased.
It has been announced that the
men will be drawn a? gradually and
In as small numbers as possible so
as not to dislocate Industry and par
ticularly agriculture.
So far as possible this plan will be
followed.! The immediate need of in
creasing the American forces In
France1, however, .to meet the Ger
man drive In the west Is likely to re
sult iu calling the men faster than
first supposed. For that reason the
April quota undoubtedly will exceed
Its normal average. In fact, if the
need Is pressing, the entire 800,000
might be called in much less time
than the nine months originally
scheduled.

Victor Berger, In his candidacy for
United States senator, demanded the
recall of our troops from Franco.
Can't somebody get Victor to do somo
electioneering over in Canada? Those
Canadians have a mighty convincing
way of answering arguments of that
kind.

"E are now building more
naval and merchant ships
than we have constructed in the
last generation.1
We are building a vast fleet of air
plaines, and enormous supplies of ar
tillery, motor trucks, machine guns,
rifles and ammunition. We are feeding,
clothing and training an army of a
million men, and preparing for a mil
lion more. We have loaned billions of
dollars' to our allies to be spent in the
United States.
From the shipyards of the Pacific
to those of the Atlantic; on our farms
and in our mines," mills and factories in
every State in the Union; back of the
firing lines in France, where men are
training, camps are , being erected and
railroads built, billions upon billions
are being expended for labor, for trans
portation, for materials and supplies
of every description.
The mind. can hardly conceive the sums of money
required for our war preparations. Yet these ex
penditures are absolutely essential.
We must win the war quickly if possible; must
carry it on for years if necessary. We must do
the job with American, thoroughness, let the cost
; be what it may.
Remember, when you invest in your Liberty Bonds, that there is
immediate, urgent, imperative need for every dollar you can spare.
