Bakers, butchers, retail and wholesale grocers, restaurants, slaughter houses and city and rural school were represented at the meeting, with A. H. Buss man, chairman for the program in Klamath county. Each orguniiation offered sev eral suggestions for conserving wheat ana iais, irora wim.ii practical program will be j worked out, and it was em phasized that potatoes can be substituted for many wheal ' uses in this potato growing cen- t?The main object of the pro-l gram as pointed out by Buss man, is to avoid waste, there; being plenty of wheat and fats, for domestic use without stint-: ing the American people if the; ...,.,,4 o,iA nrt I Kiiruius is tuuacivcu wasted. .,, Mrs. Winnifred K. Gillcn, pub licity chairman for the urogram stated she would use suggestions for substituting potatoes on her radio talks and in her home dem onstrations to extension units. Bulletins and recipes for using potatoes arc available on re quest at the home demonstration office in the post office building. A meeting of restaurant opera tors has been called by Avis Mc Conncll, committee chairman, for 2 p. m. Friday in the Pelican party room and for those who cannot come Friday there will be another meeting held Satur day at 2 p. m. at the same place. Canal Priming To Commence Priming of the main or "A" canal ot the U. S. reclamation project, will be started Wednes day morning and water for ir rigation will be in all canals a weeK later, reclamation authori ties announced today. The amount of water in stor age in project reservoirs during war years was more than ample for all irrigation requirements, it was stated, but the capacity of existing canals and laterals on the Klamath project during these years at the peak of the season, was taxed to meet the demand for irrigation water. On account of the shortage of labor and more especially ex perienced irrigators, the project farmers were, in many cases, put to the necessity ot dump ing or cutting back the water they were using. In some in stances the irrigators would only work eight hours and where this occurred the water was used only eight hours out of 24 which meant the farm ers must keep the water three times as long as if they could use the water full time. For this reason other farm ers would have to wait a longer time until they could receive the water they needed. Now that the labor situation has im proved, and the idea is to create more jobs, it is right and proper for project farmers to employ enough men so that full use of irrigation water may be made, according to the bureau. The board of directors of the Klamath irrigation district here stated that needless waste, dumping and cutting back will not be allowed. Farmers should make plans and provide means of cooperating with bureau em ployes, it was stated. LA GRANDE. April 16 (JP) Quarterly meeting of the Ore gon Wildlife Federation, to be held here April 20, is expected to be highlighted by discussions of an overall conservation pro gram for Oregon and the winter ing problems of big game.

Surprise Witness Pictures Cine As Courtly Lothario SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 (Pi A surprise witness for the state today pictured Alfred Leon ard Cline, white-haired forger and ex-choir master, as a courtly Lothario who as a "widower" paid her attentions .during the period his wife was supposed to be alive. The tangled web of the 56-year-old ex-convict's relations with various women had another strand added through the testi mony of Miss Mary' Louise Smith of San Francisco, who was called in Cline's trial for forgery and grand theft in connection with the disposition of the $323,000 estate of the late Eva Delora Krebs Cline of Chicago. Throughout most of last year, Church Dignitary To Retire May 26 PORTLAND. April 16 'PI Dr. Frank B.

Famine Group Beset With Difficulties PORTLAND, April 16 iJP) Oregon's Food and Famine com mittee reported today that al though efforts were being made to conserve 20,000 tons of wheat and 500 tons of food fats by July 1, a -number of difficulties were encountered. Joseph K. Carson, committee chairman, said that bakers were unable to cut the size of bread loaves 10 per cent if they ship from Oregon to Washington or California and would be unable to get new wrappers printed in time for use in the state. The Oregon State Hotel asso ciation reported to the commit tee that all members were be ing advised of ways to cut down on the amounts of food used and at the same time not to make savings at the expense of pat rons.

The Clown Surprises Mrs.' Truman his arm on the shoulder of Mrs. Miss Smith related, Cline enter tained her frequently, that she visited him once in Los Angeles, and that he told her "he was retired, a widower, and had been one for 12 years." State Claim Cline has contended that Mrs. Krebs Cline died in Portland, Ore., in November of last year, although the state asserts she died more than a year earlier in Dallas, Texas, and was cre mated at Cline's direction as I "Mrs. Alice Carpenter" of Tam , pa, Fla. A woman was cremated i at Cline's order in Portland, but the state says this one actually was Mrs. Isabel Van Natta of San Francisco, also a companion of the defendant. Judge Herbert C. Kaufman asked Norman Elkington. assist ant district attorney, what the state was attempting to prove through Miss Smith's testimony. "Your honor.'' the prosecutor replied, "we wish to show that at the very time he (Cline) was representing himself in a series of letters (to the former Mrs. Krebs' relatives) to be married to and living with Delora Krebs Cline, he was meeting other women " Cheating Wife? Cline's attorney, J. W. Ehrlich interrupted: "You mean he was cheating on his wife?" "I wish to show,'' Elkington resumed, "th,at she (Miss Smith) never saw a wife of his, that he . took her to his home, and there still was no wife." Stanley L. Murdock, insurance salesman of Oakland, testified that Cline took out a $2000 an nuity in favor of his son. and listed himself as a widower. This was after the death of the wom an in Dallas who the prosecu tion insists was Mrs. Krebs Cline and before the death in Portland of another woman.
