TO CUT WHEAT
USEJE-HALF
Military Necessity Oemands That
Each American Eat Only IV2
Pounds Wheat Products
Weekly.
CORN AND 0AT$ SUBSTITUTES.
Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to
Maintain Their War Bread
Till Next Harvest
If we are ;o furnish the allies with
the necessary proportion of wheat to
iruiintuin their war bread from now
until the next harvest, and tlds is a
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000,000
bushels a month as against our nor
mal consumption of about 42 000,000
bushels, or 60 per cent, of our normal
consumption. This Is the situation a
et forth by the U. S. Food Adminis
tration at Washington. Reserving a
margin for distribution to the anny
and for special cases, leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately 14
pounds of wheat products weekly per
person, the Food Administration's
statement continues: Many of our
consumers are dependent upon bakers'
bread. Such breed must be durable
and therefore requires a larger propor
tion of wheat products than cereal
breads baked In the household. Our
army and navy require a full allow
ance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices In the con
sumption of wheat products than can
the poor. In addition, our population
In the agricultural districts, where the
other cereals are abundant, are more
skilled In the preparation of breads
from these other cerenls than the
crowded city and Industrial popula
tions. With Improved transportation condi
tions we now have available a surplus
of potatoes. We also have In the
spring months a surplus of milk, and
we have nmple corn and onts for hu
man consumption. The drain on rye
and barley as substitutes has already
greatly exhausted the supply of these
grain.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance nf the American
people ami we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householder to use not to exceed
a total of l'a pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than Hi pounds of
Victory bread coniainitif; the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of enokiiij; Hour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cukes, when!
breakfast cereals, all combined,
2. I'ulillc eating places and cluls to
observe two whentloss days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one uuest at any one meal nn
n'srcKale of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cerenls, containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
flour. No wheat products to he served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, tints con
forming with the limitations requested
of the householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel of Hour lo any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of n barrel
to any country customer nt any one
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equtil
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory hreiul
sold, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, mid corresponding proportion
in other weights. We llso ask bakers
not to Increase the amount of their
wheat Hour purchases beyond 70 pel
cent, of the average monthly umoum
purchased In the four mouths prior to
March 1.
ii. Manufacturers using wheat prod
nets for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use ot
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health mid satisfac
tion. There Is no rensnn why nil of
the American people who nre able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less whent products than one nnd one
half pounds a week, and wc specially
ask the well-to-do households In the
country to follow this additional pro
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order thnt we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are ab
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-operation
of the public by a further limita
tion of distribution, and we shall place
nt once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for l'!i', 1 " "v t " 'T.'Ti'ier

L
People of Wheat Center Are In Hear
ty Accord With Food Administration.-
Old Time Lexington
Resident Returns for
First Visit in Twenty
Five Year.
Lexington people are in hearty ac
cord with the Ideas of the Foor Ad
ministration concerning wheatless
days and the conservation of wheat
and flour for our soldiers and allies
across the water. Last week was
"wheatless week" here and it was
thoroughly observed by all. It was
not possible to buy any wheat flour
in any of the Lexington stores last
week, because they were not selling
It. But according to the merchants,
"wheatles week" was so well lived up
to that there was very little call for
white flour. In fact a large number
have expressed their willingness to go
on a wheatless diet from now on until
the end of Kalserism.

lierry l'utcb.

Barnett and the man who runs
things at the Barnett ranch north of
Lexington, says he has a large patch

Gallant Young Officer, In
Heppner During Liberty
Loan Drive, Is Dead
Word has been received In Hepp
ner of the death of Lieutenant Alex
ander G. MacDonald. MacDonald
will .be remembered here as one of
the speakers during the last Liberty
Loan drive. He spoke at both Pine
City and Rhea creek school houses
and would have appeared in more
meetings had his schedule permitted
it. He was a young man of forceful
personal attractiveness and while
speaking, his earnestness wuo a re
ntal Uable trait. He did a great work
iu Oregon to help put over the big
drive in record breaking time.
MacDonald was an only son. He
was a lieutenant in the 102nd North
British Columbians and formerly ot
the 16th Battalion. Canadian Scot
tish. Desiring to return to the front
Lieutenant MacDonald entered a mil
itary hospital at Vancouver for a mi
nor operation to his left knee. Infec
tion, however, set In, and despite a
light for life the young officer suc
cumbed after three weeks.
The Vancouver World pays the fol
lowing tribute to Lieutenant Mac
Donald. "Twice seriously wounded, but
spared to come back to his home and
family, and with every hope of re
covering and returning to the trout
a third time, Lieutenant Alexander
0. MacDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles MacDonald of this city,
passed away at an early hour this
morning, after a plucky right against
pneumonia, which had developed as
a consequence of infection following
an operation on his knee. A bright,
gallant youth, and an only son, his
loss is sincerely mourned by his com
rades, and the deepest sympathy is
extended by a wide circle of friends
to his parents and sisters, so badly
unexpectedly bereaved.
"Lieutenant MacDonald was edu
cated at Upper Canada college and
Toronto university, and when the
war broke out he was engaged in sur
veying for his final examination in
the profession for which he was pre
paring. Throwing everything up, he
enlisted, an 'original first' in that
glorious battalion which was to cover
itself with glory, the Sixteenth, and
with it fought in the series of battles
that stemmed the German rush to Ca
lais. He was seriously wounded at
Festubert, May, 1915, hut after sev
eral months in the hospital recovered
and was given a commission in an
other famous British Columbia unit,
the 102nd. He participated in the
Somme fighting in the fall of 1916
and again was wounded in November
of that year. Owing to an injury to
his knee, which incapacitated him for
the time being from further service,
he was returned to Canada in Decern
ber, last, and came to Vancouver,
where he spent a joyful furlough with
his family. Anxious to get back to
the firing line, Lieutenant MacDon
ald underwent an operation on his
knee three weeks ago. As already
stated, infection developed and pneu
monia set in, both lungs being in
volved. He breathed his last shortly
after four o'clock this morning.
"Lieutenant MacDonald leaves to
mourn the loss of a brave and gentle
son and brother, his parents and
three sisters, Mrs. F. A. 11. Sitwell of
Chicago,' Mrs. Thomas K. Price whose
husband is in France, and Miss Mary
MacDonald. He was a nephew of thi.
late Lieutenant John Cilmour Hay,
formerly city solicitor of Vancouver,
who was killed in action when light
ing with the 47th battalion."
Free Soo, a Chinese gardener on
the Alex Cornett place in the lower
end of town, died last Saturday after
noon after a very brief illness. Free
was about 70 years of age and so far
as is known, he had no relatives in
this country. The remains were laid
to rest In Masonic cemetery Monday
afternoon. Free was a kindly old
man and a gardener of the first order.
