Opportunity Is nw offorod, through
Federal Food Adnlnlstrator W. II,
Ayor, for Oregon families nml manu
facturing firm us'.'ig wheat flour, to
mako .a voluntary personal sacrifice
for thn benefit of Uncle Ham's boys In
tho Army and Navy. Mr. Ayor lias
announced that any family, public eat
ing place, or factor' using wheat flour,
such as bakeries and cracker factories,
now has the privilege of directly con
tributing to the flour bins of thn Army
and Navy by turning back to tho gov
eminent, at the market price, such
portion of their wheat flour allowance
as thoy will patriotically refrain from
consuming themselves.
Such gifts of wheat flour, while not
going directly to Frnnco for tho boys
overseas, will bo tttrnod Into tho gov
eminent commlsssry at tho nearest
point, and will relvaso an oiiual quan
tlty of wheat flour on tho Atlantic
sea-board for Immediate shipment
'over there." Under this novol plan
when a patriotic Oregon family goes
on a whoatloss diet for a wooK or a
month, or longer porlod, tho wheat
flour thoy save and turn back to tho
government actually represents an
equivalent of wheat flour three thou
sand miles away, which Immediately
starts to move forward to tho fighting
forcos. This arrtngoment has boon
made In order to save transportation
across the continent.
, "I am hoping for a splendid wheat
saving record I if Oregon" said Mr
Ayor tho other day, "For I bollovc
when Orogon families and public eat
Ing places In the utato know that the
flour they save will go direct to the
boys of the Army and Navy thoy wit;
not hcaltato to reupond In tho usual
patriotic Oregon way. I had a tele
gram from Mr. Hoover today In which
he naked mo for un ostlinoto on whnt
I thought Orogon could bo rolled upon
tp save under tho now plan. I wished
to bo conservative, and I replied tlint
my csttmnto would bo 50 to 35 per
cont of tho normul wheat flour con
sumption. This 1m a much lower es
timate than othttr states had made, i
and I rcallzo that It will probably bo
unsatisfactory at Washington. I am
hoping that the people of tho otnto
will exceed thin oktlmnto by a goner
ous margin. The county administra
tors have In hand the full details of
tho plan for saving wheat In this way
for the needs of our fighting mon, and
any ono wishing to personally contrib
ute wheat flour should get In touch at
once with tho Food Administrator of
tho county In which he or sho lives."
The wheat-saving plan announced
by Mr. Ayer Is a national ono, and It
Is now oparativo In all tho states.
Tho states of Washington, Idaho and
Orogon are now co-oporating In an
effort to make a big wheat-saving rec
ord for tho Northwest, Fodoral Food
Administrators It. F. Illcknell of Idaho
and. CharleB IJebbord or Washington
Join with Federal Food Administrator
W. D. Ayor for Orogon In tho follow
ing announcement, which gives in do-
tall tho plan of handling tho roturncd
wheat:
"Mr. Hoover has wirod all Federal
Food Administrators that tho excess
stocks of flour held by publla eating
places, bakors, dealers and consumors
may be voluntarily surrendered foe
the use of tho Army and Navy and tho
Allies. This action has been prompted
by the many voluntary offorlugs from
different parts of tho country.
"Tho practical mothod of handling
uch returnod flour will bo through.
the local morchant, who is horoby re
quested to recolvo all such flour and
pay the holding consumer tho actual
cost of same, and thon re-dlstrlbuto it
without any additional chargo to tho
ultimate consumer. Whore morchanta
accumulate mora than their thirty
days' supply and all hotels, bakers,
etc., that have an excess amount thnt
cannot be dlsposod of locally, they
should Immediately communicate with
Mr. M. II, Housor, Grain Commission
er of (he Food Administration, Hoard
of Trade Building, Portland, and ho
wllUarrango for the transportation to
the soaboard, All flour returnod to
tho merchant that is resold to the

may bo released for shipment to the
Allies.
''Tho wholo object of tho abovo ar
rangement Is to provide, a channel
through which all excess quantities
