MEN OVERSEAS NEED GRAIN
I Plan Devised to Sav Transportation
and Time Local Donations to Be
Rcso'd Locally But Release Equal
Amount at Atlantic Seaboard For
Immediate Shipment to Allies and
Troops.
Opportunity Is now offered, through
Federal Food Administrator W. B.
Ayer, for Oregon families and manu
facturing firms using wheat flour, to
make a voluntary personal sacrifice
for the benefit of Uncle Sam's boys in
the Army and Navy. Mr. Ayer has
announced that any family, public eat
lng place, or factory using wheat flour,
such as bakeries and cracker factories,
now has the privilege of directly con
tributing to the flour bins of the Army
and Navy by turning back to the gov
eminent, at the market price, such
portion of their wheat flour allowance
as they will patriotically refrain from
consuming themselves.
Such gifts of wheat flour, while not
going directly to France for the boys
overseas, will be turned Into the gov
eminent commissary at the nearest
point, and will release an equal quan
tity of wheat flour on the Atlantic
aea-board for immediate shipment
"over tljare." Under this novel plan
when a patriotic Oregon family goes
en a wheatless diet for a week or a
motitV, -ir longer period, the wheat
fMV it '7 save and turn back to the
government actually represents an
equivalent of wheat flour three thou
sand miles away, which Immediately
starts to move forward to the fighting
forces. This arrangement has been
made In order to save transportation
across the continent.
"I am hoping for a splendid wheat
saving record In Oregon" said Mr.
Ayer the other day, "For I believe
when Oregon families and public eat
ing places in the state know that the
flour they save will go direct to the
boys of the Army and Navy they will
not hesitate to respond in the usua;
patriotic Oregon way. I had a tele
gram from Mr. Hoover today in which
he asked me for an estimate on what
I thought Oregon could be relied upon
to save under the new plan. I wished
to be conservative, and I replied that
my estimate would be 30 to 35 per
cent of the normal wheat flour con
sumption. This is a much lower es
timate than other states had made,
and I realize that it will probably be
unsatisfactory at Washington. I am
hoping that the people of the state
will exceed this estimate by a gener
ous margin. The county administra
tors have In hand the full details of
the plan for saving wheat in this way
for the needs of our fighting men, and
any one wishing to personally contrib
ute wheat, flour should get In touch at
once with the Food Administrator of
the county In which he or she lives."
The wheat-saving plan announced
by Mr. Ayer is a national one, and it
Is now operative in all the states.
The states of Washington, Idaho and
Oregon are now cooperating in an
effort to make a bit; wheat-saving rec
orl for tn Northwest. Federal Food
Ariiiiinistuitors R. F. Bicknell of Idaho
and Charles Hebberd of Washington
Join with Federal Food Administrator
Vv'. G. Ajcr for Oregon in the follow
ing announcement, which gives In de
tail the plan of handling the returned
wheat: .
"Mr. Hoover has wired all Federal
Pood Administrators that the excess
stocks of flour held by public eating
places, bakers, dealers and consumers
may be voluntarily surrendered for
the use of the Army and Navy and the
Allies. This action has been prompted
by the many voluntary offerings from
different parts of the country.
"The practical method of handling
such returned flour will be through
the local merchant, who is hereby re
quested to receive all such flour and
pay the holding consumer the actual
cost of same, and then re-distribute it
without any additional charge to the
ultimate consumer. Where merchants
accumulate more than their thirty
days' Btipply and all hotels, bakers,
otc, that have an excess amount that
cannot be disposed of locally, they
should Immediately communicate with
Mr. M. H. Houser, Grain Commission
er of the Food Administration, Board
of Trade Building, Portland, and he
will arrange for the transportation to
the seaboard. All flour returned to
the merchant that is resold to the
consumer should be reported to Mr.
Houser, In order that an equal amount
may be released for shipment to the
Allies.
., "The whole object of the above' ar
rangement Is to provide a channel
through which all excess quantities
of flour may reach the Army and Navy
or the Allied armies as a voluntary
offering of the people of this country."
If you have a food conservation plan
or recipe pass it on to your neighbors
and your friends be "in the service."

Second War Fund Drive Found Peo
ple Heady and Willing to Give
Their Allotment to the
Kcd Cross.
"There was no argument from
anybody," said C. H. Pointer, chair
man of the Second Red Cross' War
Fund Drive in Lexington, Jn speaking
of the success in which the drive was
put over. "It was just a matter of
our various teams going around and
making the collections. You see, we
had made the allotments before the
drive opened, and when we went out
after the money a man would ask the
amount of his allotment and, then
paid It promptly."
Lexington went out to raise her
quota of J1500, but before the teams
got airly started an amount of 12.-
090.25 had come in and more than
J 1700 of that was cash, the balance
being in pledges. Mr. Pointer is of
the opinion that a large degree of the
success of the drive belongs to the
soliciting teams. S. J. Oevlne, B. S.
Clark and Ben Brown were one team,
W. P. McMillan and George Peck an
other, W. L. Holmes, Eph Eskelson,
and Earl Warner, and C. R. Pointer
and Ous McMillan still another. Karl
Beach, E. L. Reaney, Elmer Slocum
and W. O. Hill composed the team
working the town of Lexington.
Mr. Pointer says the greatest
praise is due the spirit which prompt
ed the Lexington people to come so
rapidly to the front and it is further
evidence that Lexington Is in the
fight to back up the nation to her last
dollar. The spirit with which the
Irish people in the vicinity of Lex
ington donated their dollars was es
pecially mentioned by Mr. Pointer.

his first trouble being the measles.
Later the young man was operated
upon for the removal of mastoid
growth and he is now rapidly recov
ering his health. Mr. and Mrs. Bar

and during that time they took ad
vantage of the occasion to see how
things were done at Camp Lewis.
Everything in the way of hospital
service approaches perfection as near
as is possible. When one of the boys
gets sick the parents are notified at
once.
Mr. and Mrs. Barlow met a num
ber of Morrow .county boys at the
camp. Frank E. Cronan, formerly
assistant cashier of the Bank of lone,
was sergeant of the mess supply for

mule shoeing department. In spite
of the excellent treatment the boys

anywhere," said Mr. Barlow, "and
they all look fit as a fiddle."
