There are large stocks of n he.il which cannot be drawn upon by the allies during the war. but In the event of peace or defeat of the submarines, these would be available anil might seriously demoralize the demand for American wheat.

DISTRICT BOARDS MUST APPROVE ALL EXEMPTIONS MUX KXCtfiKD BY tAtCAL. IIOAItlkS It K HAVfX BK-KK-NUKNTS TO MKKT 8KC OM TEST. District Boards Have Already An nounced Stiff Policy In Connection With Granting of Kxemptlons From Braft service. ' POIiTLAND. Ore.. Aug. 13. It will not be enough for a local board to approve a claim for exemption or dis charge from military service on thfl Kiound that a man has one or more persons dependent on him. If the local board approves the claim, the man asking exemption will still have to run the gauntlet of ons of the three district beards of th- state. And these district boards Indi cated at their recent meeting in Port land to formulate a policy that hey will be very strict indeed In their in terpretation of what constitutes a "de pendent." Kmphatic Instructions have been received from Washington that every discharge or exemption on the ground of dependency granted by a local board, must be appealed to a district board. This does not mean that some case of dependency will be appealed. It means that all discharges or exemp tions granted by local boards on that ground must be appealed, no matter what the circumstances. The official representative of the fovernment In each county, who in most cases Is the county attorney, will make the appeals to the district boards in behalf of the government. The regulations provide that he may appeal discharges or exemp tions granted by local boards for ether reasons than dependency, bm that he must, without exception, ap peal all those granted for depend ency. As by far the greater number ot claims for exemptions are based on the alleged fact that the man has de pendents, there are bound to be a great many disappointed claimants, for the district boards will be much more severe in their rulings in most cas-s than the local boards. The district boards have already an nounced that It will lie their policy to allow claims for exemption or dis charge for dependency, only when it appears that if the man is token into the military service, his dependent or dependents are llkel yto become' a burden to the conrmunity. If a wife has relatives who can support her during her husband's ab sence at the. front, or if she is able by her own labor to support herself, the district boards will not execuse the husband from service. This fact might us well be realized now. for it will save many husky young men the trouble of filing claims for exemption or discharge that will never .get by the district boards even should they be passed by local boards. ' The great number of claims for ex emption, estimated to be about SO per cent of the number of men called for service is resulting in a general tightening up of the regulations gov erninr exemptions and discharges. later in the year; d with stabilized .prizes, extra hazards are introduced ' into ail distribution links which must be paid for by the -consumer. It must he evident that the United States gov ernment can more justly deal with the situation than any of the agencies mentioned. ouiSo Is Hetermin'd. "Therefore, the food administra tion has determined to take the fol lowing course: "First In order to eliminate spec ulation in wheat and flour, all eleva tors and mills over 100 barrels daily capacity wilt be required to take out 1 a government license, aim in; ' ditlons of this license to be: !
