HOLMAN, SrsSSaST"1 Telephone 2134 PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN ON BLOWERS URGES NEED OF SAVING School Snperintendent Gibson is Local Food Administrator-School Districts to Help Judge Blowers has offered Superin tendent Gibson, recently appointed by VV. B. Aver as Hood River county food administrator, every aid in the. local food pledge card campaign. Judge Blowers has issued the following proc lamation: , "We are engaged in the greatest war of all time. The armies of Napo leon. Wellington or Grant would make but a corporal's guard as compared with the mighty armies of today. 'These men cannot exist much less fight without proper food, and while all oi us cannot take part in the nnng line, all men and women can do their bit in this war for democracy. It is the duty of every housewife to see that not a particle of food, so sorely needed in France and Belgium, is wasted. Enlist under Hoover's banner and help carry the war to a victorious conclusion.'' With J. O. McLaughlin and Mrs. F. W. Rand in charge, the pledge card campaign has been given an impetus in the city. Prof. Uibson Monday began the organization of every school dist rict in the county to promote the food conservation campaign. Prof. Uibson has received the fol lowing letter from Mr. Ayer : "I am especially anxious that you should enlist the leading men and women in Hood River county in sup port of this movement You will need, and should have, their influence and every bit of backing they can give. This campaign, as they will not fail to understand, is not one whit less im portant than the Liberty Bond cam paign. The two should go hand in hand and should stir every one of us to moat enthusiastic participation." The 'following is the advice issued on cards by Food Administrator Hoov er: The men of the allied nations are fighting : they are not on the farms. The production of food by these coun tries has therefore been greatly re duced. Even before the war it was much less than the amount consumed. The difference came from America and a few other countries. Now this dif ference is greater than ever and, at the same time, but little food can be brought in from the outside except from America. Therefore, our allies depend on America for food as they have never depended before, and they ask us for it with a right whichjthey have never had ; before. For today they are our companions in the great war for de mocracy and liberty. They are doing the fighting, the suffering, and dying in our war. Why we must send more wheat- England, France, Italy and Belgium, taken together, import in peace time 40 per cent of their breads tuffs. But now, with their reduction in harvest, they must import 60 per cent. We must increase our normal export sur plus of 88,000,000 bushels to 220,000,- 000 bushels. It can be done but in one way : by economizing and substituting, The people of the allies cannot substi tute corn alone for bread, as we can. They are using other cereals added to wheat flour to make war bread, and thus use up to 25 per cent of corn for wheat. We have, plenty of com to send them, but, except in Italy, whose neonle normally use it. our allies have few corn mills and corn meal is not durable enough to be shipped by us in large quantities. Moreover, the allied peoples do not make their bread at home : it is all made in bakeries, and corn bread cannot be distributed from bakeries. There is but one way ; we must reduce our use of wheat. W e use now an average of five pounds of wheat flour per person per week. The whole problem can be met if we will substitue onepound of corn and other cereal flour for one pound of wheat flour weekly per person ; that is, if we reduce our consumption of wheat flour from five pounds a week to four pounds a week. Whv we must send more meat The food animals of the allies have de creased 33,000,000 head since the war began ; thus the source of their meat production is decreasing. At the same time the needs of their soldiers and war workers have increased the neces sary meat consumption. Our meat ex- Dorts to our allies are now already al most three times what they were be fore the war. The needs of the allies will steadily increane because their own production of food animals will steadily decrease because of lack of feed for them. If we save one ounce of meat per person per day we can send our allies what they need. Whv we must send butter and milk The decreasing herds and the lack of fodder mean a steady falling off in the dairy products of our allies. IThey have been asking for larger and larger exports from us. Last year we sent them three times as much butter and almost ten times as much condensed milk as we used to send them before the war. Yet we must not only keep up to this level, but do still better. Why we must send sugar Before the war trance, Italy ana Belgium produced as much sugar as they used, while England drew most oi lis suppiy from what are now enemy countries, France and Italy are producing lees than they need, while England is cut off from the source of 70 per cent of her usual imports. These cards will be distributed to be place on the walls of all kitchens, On the reverse side of them Mr. Hoov er tells as follows how housewives mav aid in winning the war : Our problem is to feed our allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. Ihese foods are wheat, beef, oork. dairv products and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. Bread and cereals Have at least one wheatless meal a day. Use corn. oat. rye. barley or mixed cereal rolls. muffins and breads in place of white bread certainly for one meal and, if possible, for two. Eat less cake and pastry. As to the white bread, if yon buy from a baker, order it a day in ad vance ; then he will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as required. Use stale bread for toasting and for cooking. Meat Use more poultry, rabbita. and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton and pork. Do not use either beef, mutton or pork more than once daily, and then serve smaller portions. Use all left over meat cold or in made dishes. Use soups more freely. Use beans ; they have nearly the same food value as meat. Milk Use all of the milk, waste no part of it. The children roust have whole milk : therefore, use less cream. There is a great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk. Sour milk can be used in Crooking and to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk and cheese freely. Fats (butter, lard, etc.) Dairy but ter has food values vital to children. Therefore, use it on thejtable as .usual, especially for children. Use as little as possible in cooking. Reduce the use ,of (fried foods to reducelthe con sumption of lard and other fats. Use vegetable oils, as olive and cottonseed 4-Minute Men-4 "THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN" J. H. HAZLETT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT ELECTRIC THEATRES oil. Save daily one-third of an ounce offanimal fat. Waste no soap ; it con tains fat and the glycerine necessary for explosives. You can make scrub bing soap at home, and in some locali ties you can sell your saved fats to the soap maker, who will thus secure our needed glycerine. Sugar Use less candy and sweet drinks. Use less sugarlin tea and cof fee. Use honey, maple syrup and dark syrups for hot cakes and waffles without buttter and sugar. Do not frost or ice cakes. Do not stint the usejof sugar in putting up fruits and jams. They may be used in place of butter. Vegetables and fruits We nave a superabundance of vegetables. JJouble the use of vegetables. They take the place of the wheat and meat, and, at the same time, are healthful. Use po tatoes abundantly, store potatoes and roots properly and they will keep. Use fruits generously. Fuel Coal comes from a distance. and our railway facilities are needed for war purposes. Burn fewer tires. If you can get wood use it. TWO CARS OF APPLES SHIPPED TO MANILA While Hood River apples in former years have frequently gone to Manila aboard United States transports, the first shipments of fruit sold direct to Island 'commission concerns was made Saturday by the Apple Growers Asso ciation. The shipment consisted of two carloads of fruit of earlier vari eties. "We will endeavor to push other Unental markets this season says C. W. McCullagh. Mr. McCullagh states that the 1917 apple deal is opening with a healthy demand from many dealers of smaller points of the country. "We are re ceiving two orlthree orders dally." he says "from many towns in the four parts of the country that have never bought before. WOMAN'S CLUB MEET ING VERY SUCCESSFUL The Hood River Woman's club held its regular meeting Wednesday of last week. There was the usual business meeting followed by a program and so cial hour. Mrs. C. D. Hoyt. in introducing the tonic. "Child Welfare." spoke linter- estingly of the splendid worn ot the Congress of Mothers andifarent-leach er Associations. Also of the Child Welfare commissioners and the bu reaus of education maintanied in larg er cities. Dr. J. W. Sif ton, the speaker of the afternoon, gave many helpful sugges tions on the prevention of contagious diseases. In the course oi his address he especially emphasized the responsi bility of parents, and advised daily in spection of school rooms by a regularly emoloved school nurse. At the next meeting, October 24, the art committee, of which Mrs. J. E. Ferguson is chairman, will present the subject, "Woman in Art1' The general federation art exhibit, consist ing of 21 pictures by Gilbert Stuart and contemporary artists, win oe en joyed at this time. Interesting papers will be read by Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. C. H. Jenkins, .several musical numbers will be given, including a piano solo by Miss Annamae Chipping and a group of Carrie Jacobs Bond songs bv Miss uiadvs Keavis. Club members are invited to bring guests to this meeting. LIBERTY SPE ERSELOQiENT SMALL CROWD BUT KTEREST KEEN RED CROSS RUMMAGE SALE SUCCESSFUL The revival of the Red Cross Rum mage Sales fpr the mutual benefit of the organization and the many apple pickers now in the vauey, nas proven a success. The new quarters of the Red Cross sale in the Jackson building on Oak street, just opposite the First National Bank, were crowded Saturday. The Red Cross still has hundreds of valuable articles, clothing, shoes and numerous other articles of clothing, which are being displayed. The sales will continue each Saturday from 9 a. m. until 9 p.m. Jesse Davidson Picks Cherries While he and neighbors have been picking apples, Jesse Davidson, an orchardist of the Mount Hood district, has also been picking cherries the past i - rv :j tL. weea. Mr. uaviuson wo tii-y Saturday and presented numerous friends with samples of the fruit large and juicy. The cherries are of the late Rich mond variety. They were grown at an altitude of 1700 feet. Samuel White and K. K. Kubli, of Port land, Arrive by Gasoline Speeder to Address People Monday While the audience that greeted Samuel White and K. K. Kubli, of Portland, here Monday night to deliver addresses on the Liberty Loan cam paign in celebration of Oregon Patri otic Week, was small, the enthusiasm of the listeners more than made up for the limited number present. Because the Hood Kiver apple har vest is at its height, no country people attended the meeting. Members oi the local Liberty Loan committee, however, stated that the nonappearance . of rural residents could not be taken as a criterion of a lack ; of 'interest, since orchardists.are daily'subscribing to the great loan." The appeals (of the Portland speak- . era, eloquent and earnest, were greeted . with frequent applause. Calling at tention to J. K. Carson, Jr., and Sid- -ney Carnine, members of 12th Co., O. C. A., home for brief furloughs, who occupied seats on the stage at Library . hall, Mr. White said : "1 am told that 80 men out of your company of boys have subscribed for I $5,000 of the bond issue, plegding themselves to pay for their bonds out . of their monthly salaries of $30 each. . Those boys are true heroes, their names - should be engraved on marble and bronze. i C. A. Miller, manager of the Oregon Liberty drive, arrived at the close of ' the meeting for a conference with lo- : cal bankers. Because of the impossibility of se- curning audiences at meetings in the i j 11 . . f nooa luver vauey, air. miner sug gested a change in the plan of conduct- ' ing the drive locally. Conferring with members of the committee, he sug gested that flying squadrons, composed of men of the city, go out each even-' ing by automobile and can at tne homes of orchardists, pointing out to them the necessity of participating in the loan. By this means he expressed the be lief that a material gain could be shown in subscriptions. "The people in this section," de clared Mr. Miller, "have as yet not re alized the seriousness of the great war. The government must have the funds. The people of England and France have come to the realization that their nations must be financed during the progress of the war, and the people of uregon snouid come to see that they must face a new bond issue every six months for the continu ation of the war. It is a necessity and must be met, and every family should make an appropriation to be devoted 1 to the purchase of bonds." . -For a time Monday local men in charge of the Monday evening meeting feared that it would have to proceed without Mr. Kubli and Mr. White. ' First having made preparations for a luncheon at the Hotel Oregon, a party of local men assembled at the O.-W. R. & N. station to await the arrival of the eastbound Oregon-Washington lim ited. The train bowled in as usual, but Mr. Kubli and Mr. White failed to alight from any of the opened vesti bules. The local men knew that the Highway was closed, so local orators were set to work preparing thunder for the mass meeting. About two o'clock the following tel ergam was received at the Glacier office: "Missed morning train. Will be there on a special about four o'clock. Kubli and White." The men came as far as Cascade Locks by automobile. At that point they were met by a gasoline speed mo tor of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. and bur rie here, arriving at 4.45 o'clock.
