Birthday Dinner Party
An enjoyable dinner party was
given at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Win. Ayers last Sunday,
the occasion being Mr. Ayers'
birthday, the gentleman being
just 59 years young th.it day. A
splendid dinner was served and
the occasion was a most pleasant
ore. The afir was planned as
a surprise for Mr. Ayers, but he
says he has become so accus
tomed to Mrs. Ayers' good din
ners that an extra good one does
not surprise him much. Those
present Sunday were: Mr. and
Mrs. Creede Owen and children,
Mr. and Mrs. Quackenbush and
son, Mrs. R. P. Matteson and
Walter Matteson.
Ben West for State Treasurer
Ben F. West, of Salem, pres
ent assessor of Marion county,

announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for State
Treasurer. Mr.West has a large
acquaintance throughout the
state, has a pleasing personality,
a clean record, takes a good pict
ure, which adorns his campaign
cards, and the brevity and
"punch" of his platform as set
forth on his card, "A Represen

good sound.

YOU COOK YOUR
FOOD WHY NOT
YOUR TOBACCO?
YOU know what broiling
does to steak, baking to a
potato and toasting to bread.
In each case flavor is brought
out by cooking by "toasting."
i So you can imagine how
toasting improves the flavor
of the Burley tobacco used in
the Lucky Strike Cigarette.

EUROPE NEEDS EOOD
Food Administration Declares It It an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food Food
Has Become Sacred.
Europe Is still sending an Insistent
call for. more food. We must send It
If the war Is to go on efficiently. If
we eat It all we cannot ship it, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
Is needed by people who will starve If
they do not get It, the food administra
tion states.
"For the least bit of heedlessness
on your part in food conservation some
one somewhere In the world must suf
fer privation," an official statement
declares. "The food administration
has mastered the problem of Ameri
ca's food In such a -way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
"It is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
"Food means life; it means some-
body's life, and you cannot escape re
sponsibility. "There is no waste of food among
the allied nations."
WAR DREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Every year the Urltlsh government
pays $200,000,000 toward the cost of
that nation's war bread. That is the
principal reason why Knjilish bread
prices ure lower today to the consumer
than In America. Incidentally the
Urltlsh bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi
trary price, and all Imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents.
The two pound loaf costs 9 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for 5 cents.
In milling, however, 14 per cent,
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there Is a com
pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent,
and an allowable adulteration of 50
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product Is only nbout Cj per
cent, pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some-
what similar, but with a Tnrgcr extrac
tion, the four pound loaf sells for 18
cents.
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS
"We have already exported the
whole of the surplus of the 1!17 wheat
harvest, over anil above the iminuil de
mands of our own population. It Is
necessary, therefore, for the food ad
ministration to rest rlrt export of wheat
so as to retain In the I'nlted Stales
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
"Therefore nil exports of wheat
from now forward are limited cnllrly
to volume of kiivIiii; made by Ihe Amer
ican people In their cons pilim of
wheat and wheat pnnluets.
"We continued wheat shipments fur
December as f:tr as our situation al
lowed, but een with all the conserva
tion made we were still miiihlt! to load
several hundred thousand tuns of food
stulTs urgently required l.v the allied
tuitions during the month of Hci iher
olone."

G CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING
More Than 3,000 Million Bushels
Raised in 1917 Gives
Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
eumption In History, Using Cereal
in Many Delicious Dishes.
Corn, America's greatest cereal crop,
Is now moving rapidly to market
More than 3,000 million bushels
30 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America were raised in 1917.
It was a mighty crop. The actual In
crease is about 500 million bushels.
And this extra store of grain is com
ing on to the market In the nick of
time, since the American wheat sur
plus has been sent to help feed famine
threatened Europe.
Just as It happened In the Colonial
days, the War of the Revolution, and
the Civil Mar, corn lias actually be
come the natiou's mainstay.
In the entire list of America's food
commodities there is no item that is
better than corn. In puddings, bread,
coin pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs, corn is without a
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number of delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are benefiting by an increas
ed use of the cereal. Corn, more than
any other cereal, contains all of the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health."
In order that the fighting men
abroad and in the army camps at home
may be fed, and in order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America In the war,
the citizens of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatable
on "wheatless days" and glory In the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations in Europe,
England, France and Italy must be
fed from America's great storehouse.
They will get some corn especially
Italy but most of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
to use enyn is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And It Is the opinion of officials In
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits of
Europe.
America's greatest use of corn will
be In the form of corn bread and corn
meal, mixed with wheat In the making
of leavened bread.
Mixed with 80 per cent, wheat flour,
corn meal can be used In bread mak
ing, producing a loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone.
It Is a fact corn millers will verify
that dozens of the large American bak
ers have been successfully using a corn
flour In bread making for several
years.
Hominy grits, served at breakfast
with a poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy, Is an
other use of corn that will become un
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn enkes
and corn oil for use In all kinds of
cooking, are two more products that
are already welcomed In thousands of
American homes.
THE UNITED 8TATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS
Food saving la In Its essence th
dally Individual service of all the
people. Every group can substi
tute, and even the great majority
of thrifty people can save a little
and the more luxurious elements
of the population can, by reduc
tion to simple living, save much.
This means no more than that we
should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.
