It pays to know the facts before you spend
your money.
You will be sending your friend more
tobacco comfort and satisfaction in one pouch
of Real Gravely Plug than in half a dozen
plugs of ordinary tobacco.
Give any man a chew of Real Gravely Plug, and he will tell
you that'* the kind to send. Send the best!
Ordinary plug is false economy. It costs less per week to
chew Real Gravely, because a small chew of it lasts a long
while.
If you smoke a pipe, slice Gravely with your knife and add
a little to your smoking tobacco. It will give flavor—improve
your smoke.
SEND YOUR FRIEND IN THE U. S. SERVICE A POUCH OF GRAVELY
Dealer* all around here carry it in 10c. pouches. A 3c.
stamp will put it into his hands in any Training Camp or Sea
port of the U. S. A. Even “over there” a 3c. stamp will take
it to him. Your dealer will supply envelope and give you official
directions how to address it.

The Greatest War Picture Ever
Filmed.
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.

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

If You Were “Over There”
Instead of Over Here.
TF YOU should see a French child—a tiny

quietly because she is too weak from hun

If you should hear somewhere in the
restless wards the low moan of an American
soldier, you would gladly sit by him all
night long, if that would save his life. And

You are not “over there” but here, where
