FRESH OYSTERS, CLAMS, CRABS, FISH Mr Hoover says: "Eat more Ash." The best will be found here. Phone Main, 73 HENRY SCHWARZ, Proprietor Corn Meal Facts. A question that Is frequently asked at the Federal Food Administration offices is why, in the face of a "bum per" crop of corn, -the price of corn meal should be so high. "It Is true that the -1917 corn yield was a heay one," said Assistant Federal Food Administrator W. K. Newell in explanation. "Plans had been made for a plentiful .supply of corn meat for the entire nation to use as a wheat substitute, and the corn growers had responded splendid ly to the request of the Food Admin istration by planting every possible acre to corn. The almost unpreceden ted corn crop that resulted has been commented upon far and wide, but It Is not so generally known that un favorable weather conditions, includ ing several early, warm rains, render ed most of this crop unfit for milling. "Only the first-class, dry corn can be milled. The moist 'soft' corn can not be made Into corn meal, although some of the better grade can be con verted into meal after a slow process of kiln drying. Such of the corn as can be milled, including all the prime grain an mtm t the. seoena-gide 'soft-corn', is now being ground lpto corn meal. One of the first elements in the-bisk price la thev greatly- In creased demand for the meal. Every corn mill In the country is working night and day at capacity, to supply this demand. Every mill has sold Its full output for weeks ahead. "Another element contributing to the price is the added cost of the kiln drying process for the moist corn, which is being used this year to sup plement the first grade dry corn. Traffic congestion, which was the cause of the great delay in moving the crop from field to mills, contri buted further to the high price. This is the corn situation throughout the whole country, and here In the North west, because of our great distance from the corn belt and the greater difficulty of securing transportation facilities by which to ship in our sup ply, our corn meal prices are even higher than those of the Middle West and Eastern states. A little serious study of these facts should make It clear to anyone that talk of 'profit- J Fixtures formerly used in the post office at The Dalles wer.e bought for the lone office.

The auto matic Insurance .aggregates abcfut$4, 300, netting $25 a month for 240 monthB.' Insurance" that had been applied for Is payable to a' much-larger class of beneficiaries and can' go as high as $10,000, netting $57.50 a month for 240 months. ' ' The compensation in case of death, given by the Government without charge and regardless of rank or pay, ranges from $20 td 75''a month, based on the number of dependants. Payments' under 'the' compensation feature of the military and naval' In surance act in case of death are pay able to a widow, children, or depen dent widowed mother'. The automatic insurance ceased on February 12, but the compensation feature of the act Is a seperate pro vision. The scale of compensation in case of death follows: (a) For a widow alone; $26.' (b) For a widow and one child, 35. (c) For a widow and two children, $47.50, with five dollars foi) each ad ditional child up to two. (d) If there be no widow, then for one child, $20. (e) tor two children, $30. (f) For three children, $40, with $5 for each additional child up to two. (g) For a widowed mother,$20. The amount payable under this sub division shall not be greater than a sum which when adled to the total amount payable to the widow and children, does not exceed $75. eering' as the cause of the high corn meel prices is unfounded. "And by the way," Mr. NeeH'con eluded, "an interesting development of the oversupply of soft corn wag the discovery of an entirely new and very fine vegetable oil corn oil. Corn oil, now being made in great quanti ties from this soft corn, is pronounced by experts to be among the best, most palatable, and most nutritious veg etable oils on the market. It offers substantial help In the solution of our conservation problems. Corn syrup Is also a good conservation product that is being extensively manufactur ed from the soft corn. Both of these fine conservation commodities may now be had in abundant quantities and at reasonable prices. Oregon housewives are urged to try them."
