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, and an old newspaper man, has 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 tative of Ail the People," has a good sound.

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. IT'S TOASTED to n;7 07 Ounrantced by Mas nKJLCccw 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.
