SAVE YOUR MONEY BY TRADING WITH US AND BUY THRIFT STAMPS OREGON MEN OVERSEAS NEED GRAIN Plan Devised to Save Transportation ■ nd Time—Local Donations to Be Retold 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 ing 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 ernment, 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 ernment commissary at the nearest point, and will release an equal quan tity of wheat flour on the Atlantic seaboard for immediate shipment "over there.” Under this novel plan when a patriotic Oregon family goes on a wheatless diet for a week or a month, or longer period, the wheat flour they 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 usual patriotic Oregon way. I had a tele gram from Mr. Hoover today in which he asked me for an estimate on what I thoqght 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 tímate than other states had made, and I realize that it will probably be unsatisfactory at Washington. 1 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 big wheat saving rec ord for the Northwest. Federal Food Administrators R. F. Bicknell of Idaho and Charles Hebberd of Washington join with Federal Food Administrator W. B. Ayer 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 Food Administrators that the excess stocks of flour held by public eating placea, baker«, 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' supply and all hotels, bakers, etc., that have an excess amount that cannot be disposed of locally, they should Immediately communicate with Mr M H Houaer. 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 ia resold to the consumer should be reported to Mr Houser, in order that an equal amount may be released for shipment to the Allies. Best quality, most useful and just what “The whole object 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."
