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

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

The Hood River Woman's club held
its regular meeting Wednesday of last

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.
