Cranking a camera, like cranking a machine gun has its exciting mom ents—quite! Captain Donald C. Thompson, war photographer and correspondent who took the picture to be shown at the Princess Theatre, Tuesday and Wed nesday, May 21-22, under the title “The German Curse in Russia”, was arrested fourteen times while snapping photographs on the battlefields of Europe, He was twice knocked senseless by concussions, thrown into prison by the secret police on four occasions and then rescued by revol- utionists. He was decorated four times and wounded three times; and now he is going back for more—you just simply can’t satisfy some people. Another such picture probably will never be shown in Tillamook, as very few men are willing to risk their lives as Captain Thompson did, and even if they did it would be a mericle if they succeded in getting away with their lives and the picture. When we offer this picture to the people of Tillamook at the exceptionally low price of 50 cents for Adults and 25 cents for children we expect to fill our theatre to capacity both nights.

In many cases the advancing French troops brought the first aid material and sometimes suc ceeded In saving the trees. Where the tree was absolutely cut down—as hun dreds were—there was, of course, no relief measure to employ. Members of the U. S. Food Administration brought this picture to America. Ear ly tn the war the German govern ment introduced a policy of strict food conservation at home and has CWiDLZJ) JRi/ST endeavored to curtail tn every possi ble manner the French and English America is today the great larder Of supply. U boat warfare and destruc- the allied nation«. Out of our food lion ot farming property are parts of stocks we muot save enough to feed the same campaign. j our Europeen aaMH'tatea in tills war. I If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month as against our nor mal consumption of about 42.000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situation as set forth by the U. S. Food Adminis tration at Washington. Reserving a margin for distribution to the unity and for special eases, leaves for gen eral consumption approximately 1*4 pounds of wheat products weekly per person, the Food Administration’s statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers’ bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore requires a larger propor tion of wheat products than cereal breads baked In the household. Our army and navy require a full allow ance. The well-to-do In our population can make greater sacrifices In the con sumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population In the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abundant, are more I i skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the jrowded city and industrial popula tions. With Improved transportation condi tions we now have available a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for hu man consumption. The drain on rye and barley as substitutes has already i greatly exhausted the supply of these , grainR. To effect the needed saving of wheat j we are wholly dependent upon the ¡voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed: 1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of 1*4 pounds per week of wheat products per person, This t means not more than 1$4 pounds of Victory bread containing the required I percentage of substitutes and one-half ' pound of cooking flour, macaroni, I | crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat j breakfast cereals, all combined. I 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an ' iggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat | breakfast cereals, containing a total I of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eat ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con forming with the limitations requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before, and corresponding proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per eent. of the average monthly »mount purchased In the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfac tion. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook In their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one- half pounds a week, and we specially ask the «ell-to-do households In the country to follow this additional pro gramme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community Less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order that we shall ba able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-opera- tton of the publie by a further limita tion of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will bo adjusted from time to ttes to secure as nearly equitable dis tribution as possible. With the arrival sf barvest we should be able to relax each rentrictioM. Until then we ask for the tu c—ss r y patience, sacrifice and co-operatloa of tbs dlotributiBg I If You Were “Over There” Instead of Over Here.
