(iencial Pershing Insists that Letter be Written Home. "Duty to one's country docs not end on the parade ground, nor even on the battle field, but consists in doing everything in one's power to help win the war," says an order is sued by Gen. Pershing, a copy of which has been received by the War Department. "To write home frequently and regularly to keep in constant touch with family and friends is one of the soldier's most important duties. Mo thers and fathers will suffer if they do not hear often from sons fighting in France. In the present large com panies it is not possible for officers to write letters for their men, ami LIMITED 10 25 L6S. Portland, Ore., Juno 24. In tu nouneing the recent Food Adminis tration rule that, until further notice, uo family In Oregon be allowed to purchase mere than 25 poouds of su gar (or canning purposes, instead of the 100 pounds heretofore permitted, Assistant Federal Food Administra tor V. K. Newell explained that this new restriction is not due to any ac tual shortage of sugar or of sugar-re-lining capacity but that it is made ne cessary because of the lack of ship ping facilities. . "There is ample raw sujMr in the West Indies, Hawaii, the Philliplnes, and otiier sugar-producing countries." said Mr. Newell, "and there is ample sugar-refining capacity here in the United States. It is all a 'lueslioii of ships in which to bring the raw sugar to this country. Every foot of ship ping space is in demand for overseas erpcrt, and we must get along with as little transportation as possible for the needs of our own country. The previous allowance of 100 pounds of sugar for canning was very liberal, much more liberal than in many oth er states. Those who secured 100 pound sacks have probably supplied their canning needs for the season, but those who have not as yet bought their canning supplies must get their sugar as they need it, purchasing not more than -25 pounds at a time. It should be clearly understood, too, that where it is not absolutely essen tial to a family to have the full 25 pounds, a lesser amount should be purchased, In order that no more su gar than necessary be drawn out of the general supply until the accumu lation is sufficient to permit more lib eral drafts for domestic purposes. This will not work a hardship on any one, as sugar will not be drawn out of the nation's supply so rapidly and the distribution will be more equible. The new restriction does not have any application to sugar purchased for general household use, which is to be purchased only t'o pounds at a time in towns and cities, and five pounds to rural consumers. ACCIDENTS ON INCREASE Total tit 20,700 Persons Hurt In Year In Oregon. SALEM, Or., june -'(. (Special.) In a statement Issued today by the Industrial Accident Commission cov ering its business for the year ending May 31, a great increase In work for !u- period is pointed out, owing to 'l:e fact, the commission stales, that a :nuch larger number of units have 'ie:i advance of the .-.'o'l-.mco's compensation act and greater aotlv ! v catispd by war conditions. In tile statement the commission "ivs: "Duvine the year ending May 31, 1917, 11,71! accidents were reported to the commission, of which S3 were fatal, while during the past year 211, 769 accidents were reported, 169 of these being fatal. "Employers contributed to the in surance fund during the past year $1,573,590.32, while in the preceding year the total was only $832,173.59. The payments made by workmen dur ing the sametperlods were $106,400. 44 and $145,561.89, respectively. "There was paid out in compensa 'ion benefits during the past year $1,266,642.74, and for the preceding year the total was $884,942.22. "During the year ending May 31, 1917, the cost of administration was "al to 7.68 per cent of the total re ceipts, while for the last 12 months he ratio was lowered to 5.17 per ent. Out of all moneys s'lent. by the -mniission for every purpose since 'he law became effective, injured vorVmen have received In compensu Mon benefits 91.7 kper cent of the to al expenditures." verv man must do it for himself." oddly Sbi.pcd l-Vet Now (Jet Fined in Army Shoes. Two out of every 1,00(1 men in the Army have to have their shoes made lo order. In several camps entire regiments have had their feet meas ured, and hundreds of drawings were made of odd shapes and sizes. At the present time the Army uses be tween 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 pairs of shoes a month. Facts brought out in tests seem to prove that men in the present Army are larger than those serving In pre vious wars. Not only is this shown by the larger sizes jf shoes called for, but by the larger si'.es of outer cloth ing that Is being required. Records In the QuartM.vmaf.ioi' Corps show that a size larger, on the average, Is being demanded In blouses, shirts, and breeches than have ever before been used. Lend Your Pennies to the Government!
