THE GAZETTE HELP IN 50-50 ROORAM Thousands of Retail Grocers Sup port Food Administration Rules. SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY. New Wheat Saving Program Demand ed Allied .Food Shortage In creases America Must Feed Fighters. Explaining tlie United States Food Administration's new OO-uO wheat reg ulations is u war time task the Ameri can grocer has trlally shouldered. Many stores are already displaying their Kood Administration wheat sav ing pledge cards, tUl they have sign ed, ugreeing to curry out the new wheat program. Each Hour customer is now requir ed to buy one pound of cereal substi tute for every pound of wheat Hour. The substitute mny he of one kind or assorted. This 00-50 sale Is made by weight and not by value of the com modities'. There Is, of course, no reg ulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat Hour at nil. A wide variety of substitutes has been provided : Comment, corn flour, edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, liarley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean Hour, r'eterilu flour and meals, rice, rice flour, outmeal, rolled onts and buckwheat flour. - Graham and whole wheat flour con stitute nn exception to the national regulation. Either of these commodi ties may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat fljur that is, five pounds of graham or wheat flour counts the same us three pounds of the usual wheat flour. Mixed flours form another excep tion. Where any Hour contains 00 tier cent, or less of wheat It may be sold without any substitutes. Where the flour Is mixed at the rate of CO per cent, wheat and 10 per cent, of other Ingredients an additional U0 per cent, of substitutes must be purchased by the consumer. Where necessity Is shown specially prepared Infant's and Invalid's food containing flour may be sold. Thnt the approved substitutes may be assorted Is a fact many grocers and housewives overlooked for a time. For Instance, If a customer wishes to buy a 21 pound sack of flour the nec essary substitutes might be assorted as follows: Cornmeul, 8 pounds; coru grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds. i None of the substitutes should he considered ns a waste purchase. There are many household uses for emh. The eight pounds of cornmeal can be made Into cornbread, corn muf fins or used in the baking of wheat bread. Cornstarch Is useful In making cus tard, thickening gravy or mny be used In enke iiuklng. Coru grits fried like mush forms a delicious dish, or it mny be used in baking corn bread. Rolled oatsiire used largely as breakfast por ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in making muffins. Buckwheat flour may be used In bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of the wheat flour, but Is especially choice in the form of buckwheat cakes for breakfast. With 11 wheatless meals needed each week In America t'o provide enough wheat for the allies, the Food Administration believes the substitutes will all be used to advantage. USE LESS WHEAT. The nllled nations have mnde further Increased demands on us for breadstulTs demands thnt Americans are obligated to meet. In the meantime America's meat supply lias been greatly Increased for some months to come by the unprecedented shipping to market of bogs that averaged 2H2 pounds each In stend of 203 pounds the nor mnl. The United Stntes Food Ad ministration, endeavoring to ad just the intornntimml food bal ance, promptly removed certain restrictions In this country on the use of meat and at the same time asked for a smaller con sumption of breadstulTs. We are asked to observe only one meatless day each week Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. Rut our bread ration must be held to n minimum. In altering Its food conserva tion program the Food Admin istration emphasizes that the food situation -is of necessity, subject to . radical changes, caused by crop conditions nt home and abroad and by the precarious transportation prob lem, both In overseas shipping and In America's overburdened transportation system. The Food Administration will keep the Amerlcnn people fully and frankly advised of each change in the developing situa tion that they may know defi nitely the part their food sac rifices play in the world war. - TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1918. WOMEN ASK M RATIONING PLAN American Women Volunteer to Buy Fixed Amounts ot Meat, Bread Flour, Su;ar and Butter. PLAN STARTED IN NEW Y0.1K. Idea Supplements U. S. Food Adminlt tration's New 'Home Card Now in 10,000,000 Homes. The women of America, who are anxious to do their gieut part In the winning of the war, are now, us a whole, familiar with Mie most Impor tant uspecls of food conservation. The Home Card, both in its original form uiid iu the revised edition for 1018, which provides for two wheatless days, one meatless day u week, iu udditiou to a wheatless meal every day, has been placed by the Food Administration aft er a vigorous campaign in lO.OOO.lHK) American homes. An Intelligent und conscientious observance of the Home Card's requirements is all the Food Administration asks of the housewives of the country. The. Food Administration has had a great many .cquests, however, particu larly from the hom-.-s of the well-to-do, that it. should issue a worked out plan for a voluntary system of rationing. This desire- for a voluntary ration springs from two causes first, be cause it is far simpler for the house wife to save food when she has a con crete working plan by which to pro ceed, and, second, because the loyal women of America aesire, unselfishly, to put themselves on the same basis as the women of the Allied countries. The ration proposed by the Food Ad ministration is almost , the same as that adopted in England for voluntary observance. All over the United King dom, in hundreds of houses there hangs in the front window a card with the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION. AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA TIONS." The ration recommended by the Food Administration, and adopted first In J'ew York city, whence the idea has spread through the entire country, la the following: Weekly Allowance Per I'erson. Meat Beef (fresh, salted, tin ned and hashed) ; mutton, lamb and veal (mutton by preference) 2 lbs. Butter ft lb.. looking Fats (margarine, Inrd, lard substitutes, vegetuble oils) ft lb. Wheat Flour (for use in cook ing gravies, etc., where com starch, cracker dust or bread crumbs cannot be substituted) lb. Victory Bread (containing at least 20 per cent, of a sub stitute for wheat flour)..,. 1 lbs. Sugar (Including all sugar used on the tuble and in cooking and all sweaineuts and candies, but not that used for cunning and pre serving) lb. The items listed above are the only ones which are definitely limited. In the case of milk nnd cream, as much mny be used us necessary, and chll dren, of course, must hnve their full allowance of whole milk. Fish und poultry, any cereal other than wheat, vegetables nnd fruits nnd cheese mny he used as freely as is desired. The above ration Is in no wise In tended to supplant the Home Card, hut rather t supplement it. It bus been published with the Idea that It will be n very real nid to the Amerl cnn woman In her splendid effort to carry out the great food conservntlon program. USE MORE POTATOES. VA.P consume the 1017 record break ing pot n to crop, (ioverntnent ex perts hnve esti mated that over 700,000 extra acres of potatoes were planted last year. The United States Food Administration is endeavor ing to push the nation's big po tato stocks Into channels of trade and has placed potatoes on the list of substitutes that may be bought along with wheat flour. Potato soup has become a war dish. Here is a recipe that has been tested by United Stales Food Admlnislratlon experts. In gredients needed are three pota toes, one quart of milk, two slices onion, three tnblespoons butter substitute, two table spoons Hour, one and one-half tablespoons salt, one-quarter teaspoon celery salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, few grains cay enne nnd one teaspoon chopped parsley. Cook potatoes In boiled salted water. When soft run through a strainer. Scald milk with on ion, remove onion and add milk slowly to potatoes. Melt the fat, add dry Ingredients, stir until well mixed, then stir Into boiling soup. Cook one minute, strain and sprinkle with, barley. s FEM HOME THERE W. F.

Barnett and family were in Portland last week, whore they went .o lock over plans for a modern res idence which they plan to build in Lcxingtcn in the near future. Mr. Harnett has been contemplating this progressive move for some time an. whon his plans have fully material ized, Lexington will have one more,! modern dwelling to add to the attrac tiveness and prosperous appearance of the town. The farm residence of Barney Doh erty, prominent Umatilla and Moi row county sheepman, burned to mi ground at Sand Hollow last Wednes day, a week ago. Just how the fire started, is somewhat of a mystery, al though it is believed that the blaze first started in the ceiling of the first story, where a stove pipe passed through-. Mr. Doherty's daughter was the only one present at the time and she was unable to save anything from the house. The Red Cross auction sale and dance was held last Thursday a' Leach Hall and a neat sum was real ized. Mr. Taylor is entitled to a grea deal of praise for putting the affair over and Lew Holmes went after the money in rapid fire manner, by ofli dating as auctioneer. The stuff sold included some pigs, which were do nated by patriotic Lexington citizens The dance was an enjoyable affair. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Evans motored to Heppner last Saturday afternoon, Mr. Evans going up to receive work it the dentists. Howard Lane has bought a "bug" auto from E. J. Starkey of Heppner and expects to use the same in his busisess round and about Lexington. Howard Lane was a Heppner busi ness visitor last Saturday.

The lone baseball diamond was the scene of an interesting and closely contested game between the married men of lone and the single men last Sunday afternoon. The receipts of the game were given to the lone Red Cross. The game opened up well for the single boys and they never allowed their opponents to score throughout the 8 and a half innings of rapid play ing. Bob Nelll of Heppner was in the box for the singles and the swifl ones he banded over were too hot for the old married stiffs nnd 14 of them whiffed the air. Neill also held his opponents down to two hits. Johnson was in the box for the married men and pitched a remark able game up to the seventh Inning when he showed signs of weakening and the unmarried bucks opened up with some real tire works. Nichol son, who played second base for the singles, slammed out a home run. The final score was 9 to 0. A large crowd attended the game. Wash burn officiated as umpire. Mr. and Mrs. Earle Ingle of Port land were visiting during the week at the home of Mr. Ingle's mother, Mrs. Hossie Kinney in this city. Mr. In gle is In the employ of the O. W. Rt & N. Co. and his wife will be best re membered by friends here as Miss Lilah Hicks. 1 -13 The Live stock is marketed from farmer to consumer at a lower cost than almost any other farm product. The United States Department of agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cattle "approxi mately two-thirds to three-fourths" of the final retail price paid by the con sumer for the resulting beef. Under normal conditions, the farmer's share of retail prices of various farm products is approximately as follows: Butter CATTLE Eggs Potatoes Ptnltrv Fruits 35 per cent The difference between farmer's price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and whole sale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufacturing operations of pre paring cattle for market in its well equipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. All this is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about 4 f a cent Per pound of beef. Large volume of business and expert management, make possible this indis pensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the larger proportion of retail prices received by farmers.
