(Special) - Approximately 4700 daily newspapers (including the Oregon Statesman) and; county seat weekly newspapers in the United States are being used this week by the United States Brew ers foundation for an institutional wheat-conservation advertisement. The advertisement is one of the biggest single placements in re cent newspaper advertising" his tory. J. Walter Thompson com pany, handling the placing, esti mated the "spot" campaign will cost approximately: $200,000. The advertisement is designated to give information on three points first, that no wheat whatever is being used in American beer and ale; second, that due to rising consumption in the face of a 30 per cent reduction in other avail able grains, the coming beer short age will be approximately 50 per cent under demand; and third, that the Famine Emergency com mittee has called upon everyone in the nation to save and share scarce foods.

Strictly Fresh EGGS Cleon, Smooth Surfoces Fine for Coloring Medium DOZEN 40c GRADE A Large Size. DOZEN How to make your . Easter table attractive Whether your Easter celebration includes only the immediate family or whether you make the day: one for entertaining, the occa sion calls for table decorations. Here's an idea that may be used for almost any Easter party end for every age group, too. The first thing to do when planning your decorations is to decide on the color scheme. Your tablecloth or place mats may be the key to the colors you'll use. Place mats sim plify the laundry problem, but you may pre fer an all-white or pastel cloth. If white ia your choice then any color scheme may be carried out in the decorations. EASTER BONNET CENTERPIECE The main attraction of our centerpiece is a hat box. It may be either round or square, small or large, and it doesn't have to be a fancy, one. Ours is covered with gay striped gift paper, but the same effect is obtained by covering the hatbox in plain pastel colored paper and pasting on contrasting stripes, t Vegetable glue makes a neater job of this, for it doesn't come through the paper.) Plain or figured shelf paper, wallpaper or crepe E' aper may also be used. Use real ribbon of armonizing or contrasting color or crepe paper to tie up the box and form the bow. Line the box with pastel -colored tissue paper; tilt the lid aid let sprays of spring blossoms or flowers, pussy willows or green leaves hang put over the side. Place one or two toy bunnies (or you could use A pottery bunny, chicken or duck, or a, cov ered hen dish) by the hatbox. Arrange flowers or decorated Raster eggs and leaves around the hatbox to complete the centerpiece. The same idea may be carried out in the favors. Cover small boxes similarly, but place he lid on the box. Then when tle box is ppened, there could be a "surprise" opening Course, dessert, or favors such as candy Easter eggs or small gifts.
