Work gunrn'utudd eatlefaotory THE SUGAR SITUATION Tho threatened sugar famine makes It imporatlvo that individ uals and families conflervo sugar at once. This task will fall late ly on the housewife and on those who prepare food in public places for the women of our nation pur chase 90 per cent of tho foad stulfs. The Food Administration has requested that candy makers and all manufacturers reduce pur chases one-half until January 1st when the last hectcrop and West Indian crop will become available. Wholesale dealers are cooperating witli the food administration to serve the people to the best ad vantage, and ask that retail deal era will not buy more than a 15 day supply nor sell tho individual buyer moro thun is required for 15 days. Our present sugar supply is sulllcient for our needs perhaps not for our demands, but surely for tho needs of the body. The average person in this country would not Buffer if he wcrcoblig cd to forego sugar almost entirely for a few weeks; tho health of muny would be improved if the excessive amount now eaten daily by them were permanently de creased. The amount of sugar used by the individual can be materially reduced by eliminating tho need less ovcraweetening of tea, coffee and other table beverages, and by giving preference to dishes which contain littlo or no sugar, such as fresh fruits or baked apples, etc, instead of sweet puddings; or a salad in place of dessert. Reduco your use of sugar and get the delicious nutty ilavor of cereals and the natural taste of fruits. Christmas is coming with its customary holiday demands for "goodies." Do your bit by using tho sweet fruits: raisins, dates and figs; fresh fruits such as or anges and apples with nuts and popcorn. If you make candies use glucose and corn syrups; they will give splendid results. The French havo been for some time on & ration of 21 pounds per capita or less than one ounce a day, while Amoricuns havo been using sugar nt the rate of 90 lbs. per capita per year. Tho French and Allies will be supplied if we will reduc our consumption one third and purchase in 15-day quantities By all means do not hoard sugar it will be cheaper insido of two months. It is un thinkable that we refuse to sacri fice this littlo while others are sacrificing 10 much. May Murphy, Emergen Homo Demonstration Agent. The Eaglo Valley Red Crow auxiliary will meet at the K. P. Hall at 2:30 Saturday af tornoon to ar range for making up material re ceived from headquarters. Lot ovory lady interested bo' prosont.

L. Holcomb is in Roseburg today from tho Soldiers' Home, whero he comes to rest and visit several times a year. Mr. Hol comb is a placer miner and cattle man of Sparta, Baker county. He says that Sparta is about 32 miles from Baker and is 4000 feet above sea level. For a great many years Spuria has been a placer mining camp, but within tho past few years it has developed into one of tho finest dry farming districts in the West, Mr. Holcomb states. "Ho says that ho has had an exhibit of his dry farming pro ducts in Portland and they were pronounced exceptional for this year and for that dry country. Mr. Holcomb states that he had a number of potatoes wh'ch weighed four pounds, and corn as nearly perfect as any in tKo West. Other dry farming products in his' exhibit wore equally as fine. "Sparta peoplo have thought for the past 20 years that their section' of the country was good only for cattle raising, as the only vegetation was bunch grass. Most of the country in .the vicin ity of Sparta has been homestead ed and there are many wealthy farmers thero now. Mr. Hol comb leaves for his home in Spar ta the last of the week." Next Thursday.
