"'. rr: ' : SWINDLERS GET SOLDIERS fJOHEY ' f The government has sent out a " - timely warning with reference to send-- r Jng money to soldiers in the various i I encampments. This has been done; l because of the fact that a number of swindlers are now in the game of wir-ing parents or relatives of certain sol- - Jitrs and asking that a certain sum of money be dispatched them to meet t some unexpected emergency. In each instance brought to light the Bwlndler wired for the money and ask-- i ed that the money be telegraphed and , that identification be waived because ' he was at a new place and was un-- known. Where the money was sent i - under such conditions the swindler had no trouble in getting the cash. ' The government suggests that be- - ore money is sent under vsuch condl-- 1 tiong the request should vbe verified by telegraphing the commanding officer in the camp where the soldier is stationed. TO CUT WHEAT USEJNE-IIAL- F Military Necessity Demands That Each American Eat Only Vg Pounds Wheat Products : Weekly.' . CORN AND OATS SUBSTITUTES. Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to Maintain Their War Bread Till Next Harvest f c 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 la the situation as set forth by the O. S. Food Aomlnis-tratlo- n at Washington. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for gen-eral consumption approximately pounds "of wheat products weekly per person, the Food Admlniptratlon'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-- a nee. The well-to-d- o 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 skilled In the preparation of breads from these other cereals -- than the crowded city and Industrial popula-tion!. ;? .i 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 greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. . To effect the needed saving of wheat 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 pounds per week of wheat product per person. ' This means not mor than 1 pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-ha- lf pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week; Monday and Wednesday, as at present in aao.mon tnereto, not to serve to any one guest at say one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs. ' macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total 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 UmltatloDS requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eight- h of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quart- 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-quarte- r 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 cent, of the average monthly amount purchased In the four months prior to March 1. .: 5. Manufacturers using shcat prod-ucts for non-foo- d purposes should cense such use entirely, x ' 6. There Is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, I'arley, buckwheat potato flour, et cetera. j Muny thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod-- 1 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 alt of the American people who are able to conk in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of , less wheat products than one and one-ha- lf pounds a week, and we specially imk the well-to-d- o households In the ' country to follow this additional pro-gramme In order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for (hose parts of the community less able to Rdnpt themselves to so large a pro-portion of substitutes. In order that we shall be 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 nrrny, we propose, to supplement the voluntary of the public by a further limita-tion of distribution, and we shall place j at once restrictions on distribution which will' be adjusted from time to ' time to secure as nearly equltHlile dis-tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should he able to relax such restrictions, I'litil then we ask for the necei.iiry patience, sncrltlce nnd co operation of (lie distributing trades. i NEW ARRIVALS!I B THIS WEEK f vy-yyy.

Then word came to reduce our con-sumption of wheat flour 60 per cent. Now our country needs even greater reduction. The French people already have had -- to 'reduce their bread consumption 66 2-- 3 with only a limited supply of other foods, and even their soldiers bave been reduced d per eent ".: Get in Una.

Wise and Otherwise The pretty little girl who has been wanting so bad has learned to swim at last. The high school yearbook, the ttletal", has arrived and it brought with it some excitement the nature of which we do not exactly understand, but we know that, several fellows are on their mettle. A certain fellow in town was called on the phone a fe day ago and the party called "Is his The man answering the phone said. "No; this Is but the caller broke In on him with the response. "1 know this Is 1!18," and thin hmg up. A fellow who left here nearly two weeks apo for the state made famous by Carrie Nation, Sockless Je.ry Simp-son, John iRrown and others, has not been heard from In the camp since his departure, and in view of the fact that jhls route of travel led through the broad state of Wyoming there Is some j little speculation as to whether he succeeded In getting through that state. He has a decided dislike for Wyoming, said so before he left, and possibly may have stopped somewhere along the line to give vent his feel- - llnf?8- - .
