SOME REASONS WHY . m
WHEAT MUST BE SAVED
STATE'S NEEDS ARE MANY
Aggressive Spirit it Necessary to Cet
Our Own, Say L. J. Simpson.
' There is an opportunity in state
government to link very closely with
the plans and movements at Washing
ton, D. C. Appearing before people
of the Willamette Valley, recently, L.
J. Simpson, candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for Governor, made
several statements showing how inti
mate touch with Washington could
advance the interests of Oregon.
"Oregon must be aggressive. It is
a vast storehouse of potentialities,
which, however, do no one much good
unt 1 the outside world recognizes
them," stated Simpson.
"AVe have a glaring example in the
present wooden shipbuilding pro
gramme. For some time, men from
the Northwest had a terrific fight on
their hands to convince the Washing
ton authorities that the toothpicks of
the South were in no way to be com
pared with the timber of the North
west
"More recently, we find the govern
ment's war boards making restrictions
in contracts for condensed milk which
practically ruin the condenser'es of
Oregon.
"There are a thousand and one in
stances where understanding built up
between the people at home and the
people at Washington, and proper co
operation with our representatives at
Washington, whoever they made, will
make for recognition of Oregon's posi
tion. "Oregon has been first in everything
connected with the war, and it is up
to her to see that she is first in
everything after the war."
C.rva.l'S. Ore., April 17. Com
mon smut of the Pacific Coast Sta
tes is -raid by Dr. H. H. Brown. I'. S
Bureau of Chemistry, to be one of
Via nirtet ill flammahle dusts. It is
readily ignited by heat or electricity,
and because it explodes with consui-
erable force is particularly danger
ous.
Dust and smut explosions that oc
casionally occur in threshing ma
chines, mills, elevators, wareuouses
and other manufacturing and handl
ing plants were shown to be due to
a combination of organic dust smut,
cornstarch, wheat flour and others
and air, touched off by a spark or
flame. In a demonstration betore the
O. A. C. farm crops club Dr. Brown
showed that it is only required to
have the dust finely divided, of rea
sonable dryness, and heat enough to
produce ignition.
He created a -miniature explosion
with smut, wheat and corn dusts and
other finely divided organic substan
ces. The more finely divided the dust
is the more readily it ignites and
burns, and the more violent the ex
plosion. Because the smuts are so
fine and dry they explode witn con
siderable force. "
Any situation that fills the air with
a cloud of tine ausi is .aangeruus.
Only a fire that will, ignite is needed
to bring about violent explosions
with great loss of property and some
times human life. It is particularly
necessary that dust be not allowed
to accumulate in elevator legs, on
top of bins, around belts, or any
.vherc about the elevators and bins
All such factors as static electricity
nen flumes and hot boxes, should bi
eliminated.
The use of inert gas, usually flu
gas that has been washed and drie
and forced into the grinding machin
onders the dust particularly immuu
o explosions. Threshing machin
nen were urged to send for data c

"A Man Cannot Think, Work or Fight
When He It Hungry" Wt Mutt
Feed Our Soldiers.
"We have the preservation of the
world on our hands. Every tingle
living human being In this republic,
from ocean to ocean, should make it
his or her special purpose to save
food."
These are the words of E. F. Cullen,
personal representative of Herbert C.
Hoover, in a recent address.
"Men will resist any power but the
power of starvation," said Mr. Cullen.
"Hunger in the final analysis, Is the
only force that can weaken a nation
and demoralize an army. - Food is
strength, and without a perpetual sup
ply of strength, the world can stand
in danger of tottering, weakening and
falling into utter chaos. A man can-
net think, work or fight If he is hun
gry.
"The allies today are practically
wholly dependent upon the United
States for food. Upon this nation
rests the responsibility of preserving
the world from Prusslaoism. This it
the task of the people of this nation
to produce and save food enough to
keep a steady stream of essential sup
plies moving towards the front so
long as it shall be necessary to wage
this war. If at any time we fail in
this, we must Inevitably go down, with
the allies, to defeat. This is no ex
aeeeration. but a serious tact. It is
the purpose of the United States Food
Administration to bring the realiza
tion of this fact home to every Ameri
can man, woman and child, and to en
list the individual aid of our hundred
million people in- producing and sav
ing food. The Food Administration
is not asking you to eat less; it only
urges that you substitute one nutri-
l tious food for another' equally nutri
! tio-us food, thus saving the vital sta
pies needed by our armies and the !
. armies and peoples of the allies. We
1 must, during the next three nftnths
save wheat especially. Our surplus
has already been shipped abroad, and
, a . hundred million bushels more are
needed. When you eat a slice of bread
! less, omit the crackers with your soup,
or otherwise conserve on wheat prod
ucts, you are contributing towards the
hundred million bushels needed over
there by our fighting men and the
exhausted neoDle of Belgium. France
and England who have for more than
three years been bearing the brunt of
this war. which Is our war. Keep this
in mind, and bring it before the minds
of your thoughtless friends and neigh
bors."

Forty-five Wounded In Latest Long

PARIS, April 17. Thirteen per

Shells from the long-range German
guns killed and wounded one woman
and one man in the Paris district last
night, according to an official state
ment issued today.
One shell damaged an electricity
conduit in a street while another de
molished a garbage cart. One of the
missiles fell on a wood-chopping

The house which was struck by an
aerial torpedo dropped from a Gotha
airplane during a raid on Paris last
Friday now has been explored. The
body of an elderly widow was found
and the portions of the limbs of a
man, a woman and a child were dis

Potatoea for Patriotism.
By eating potatoes Instead of wheat
the people of the United States can
help win the war. We have not
enough wheat for the Allies and our
selves. We have an abundance of po
tatoes. Wheat flour is a concentrated
food and therefore good for shipping;
potatoes are bulky and are conse
quently not suited for limited shipping
space, nor are the Allies so short of
potatoes as of wheat. Next to cereals,
potatoes have been in this country
the mainstay of starchy food, which
supplies energy.
The more potatoes we eat, the less
wheat we need. A medium-sized po
tato, weighing about 3 ounces, sup
plies about as much starch as two
small slices of wheat bread one-half
inch thick. In other respects also,
the potato measures up well with
wheat bread and even has the advant
age over it In supplying certain salts
which the body needs to counteract
the acidity resulting from the use of
such foods as cereals, meat and eggs.
By exercising her Ingenuity the house
wife can prepare potatoes in many
different attractive ways, thus Increas

ples needed for shipment abroad. An
Important use of potatoes, also, Is In

GOOD ROADS MEN ARE
OUT FOR STANFIELD
Portland, April 10. Because of
the prominent part he took in support
of the $6,000,000 bond issue for good
roads R. N. Stanfield, Republican can
didate for United States Senator, is
being bitterly opposed by the oppon
ents of the good roads movement.
Some of the 'papers are saying that
Stanfield alone Is responsible for the
passage of the bill in the house of
which he was Speaker, and this week
an anonymous circular was distribu
ted in Portland, saying that Stanfield
was the man who engineered this bill
through the Legislature and should
therefore be defeated. This has been
taken up by the good roads suppor
ters and they are urging all their
friends to get out and work for Stan
field, for they assert that a man who
was opposed to the good roads move
ment and who personally worked a
gainst the bonds, would not be in fa
vor of them now and would not make
'himself very active toward securing
Federal aid for the construction
