Ayer, Federal Food Admin istrator for Oregon, in the following message: "if we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest (and this is a military necessity) we must reduce our monthly consumption to twenty one million bushels a month as against our normal consumption of about forty-two million bushels or fifty per cent of our normal consumption, re serving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leav Ing for general consumption approxi mately one and one-half pounds of SWEET GETS HERD OF wheat products weekly per person.

This system is outlined by the Department as follows: 1. A specially designed honor flag, officially adopted as the Third Liberty Loan flag, will be awarded to all communities upon their attainment of their assigned quota. 2. A small individual poster, containing a reproduction of the honor flag and a blank for the name of the subscriber, will be awarded to each subscriber for display in his home. 3. A large honor roll, containing at the top a reproduction of the honor flag and the slogan, “Help Our Town Win the Right to Ely This nag." and below space for the names of all subscribers, will bo posted in a conspicuous place in the community. 4. A large honor flag will be awarded to each state upon the attainment of its quota, the state flag to contain the names of those subordinate groups which have attained their quota». 5. A national honor flag will be unfurled at Washington on which will be presented the returns from all the states. 1 Bandon is just $11,000 short of reaching its quota in the Third Lib- erty Loan campaign, whlch opened Saturday. The local quota Is $30,- 000, of which up to hank closing time tonight $19,000 has been sub- scribed. It is hoped to raise the quota within the present week, so that Bandon may have its name well to the top in the list of those who ■each their allotted amounts The Bandon district for the present cam paign does not Include Curry county as it did heretofore. Curry having been put into a district by itself. For this reason the local quota Is less in proportion Than before.

The local organization for H ip campaign is as follows: Executive committee R. H. Rusa. The sale of thrift stamps and war savings certificates by the school children received a decided impetus this week when the flag was present ed to the room whose pupils had sold the greatest amount of stamps dur ing the first month. Miss Hilde's pupils, in the Sixth A and Seventh B grades, sold more stamps during the first month of the canvass than any other room, so hold the flag for a month. The flag is an exceptional ly beautiful one of heavy silk, five by three feet In size Pupils and teachers are equally eager to secure the flag, and the contest for next month promises to be very close. Ad ditional stimulus to the stamp can vass was given by the announcement of the Individual prizes to the best salesman among the pupils Fol lowing the plan in other towns of the county, the committee has solicit ed funds to be used to provide prizes, etc ., to further the stamp campaign The Bank of Bandon and the First National Bank have agreed to pro vide a war savings stamp as a first prize each month to the boy or girl selling the largest amount of stamps, and second and thrld prizes of $2 50 and $1 50 worth of thrift stamps will These prizes be provided for also will be awarded each month, begfn- ning with April's sales A number of war savings societies are being formed among the pupils of the various rooms as an aid to systematic saving These are similar Young Mother Very Hl A nine-pound daughter was born at the Emergency hospital today to chairman.

Portlaud. Ore, April 8—Nine hundred and twenty-three more Ore gon men are to be called to the col ors immediately for the National Army. They will be Inducted into the military service from class one, in the sequence of their order num bers. Orders have been received from the war department by the ad jutant general of Oregon that all these men must be entrained for Camp Lewis, Wash., in the five day period beginning April 26. This quota of 923 meu is tn addi tion to the draft quota of 369 meu who were called into service from Oregon on March 29. The 923 com prise 12.5 per cent of Oregon's gross quota in the first draft. No county n the state will be exempted from furnishing Its proportionate quota of uien to meet this call. At the same time it Is announced by the war de partment that each county will re ceive full credit on the next net draft quota for the men sent now. Tho' men from class one are to be induct ed into service in the sequence of their order numbers, the calling of men actively, completely and assid uously engaged in the planting and cultivation of farm crops, by direc tion of the president, will be defer red until the end of the new quota. Under this call Coos county must furnish 30 men. These, together with the twelve who entrained March 29th, makes forty-two men called from the county in two months. This last call is a proportionate fraction jt the national call for 150,000 men under the second draft.

While the primary purpose of the new program Is the "purifica tion" of the second, third and fourth classes of registrants who are not engaged in any productive Industry, attention also would be given to low er sections of class one. The effect, its framers believe, would be to solve the nation's labor problem and largely Increase ths out put of the neceesitles of life. The proposal would utilize the draft for putting industrial slackers to work It purposes to make a most careful survey of the lower section of class one and other classes to Identify those men »ho are idlers or who are gaining their living thru undesirable or harmful pursuits. Under the latter head, officials sug gest, might be listed gamblers, book makers for races, poolroom touts and others.
