FOOD WASTE MUST

WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL CON-
GRESS is READY WITH
THEIR LAWS.
HOOVER GETS WILSON'SORDER
Volunteers to Be Put to Work on
Conservation of SuppIies.-Presi-
dent Calls on Housewives to
Cooperate Under Leaders.

Washington.-Congress' delay in
passing the administrations food
bills drew from President Wilson
this week an order directing Herbert
c. Hoover to proceed Immediately with
organization of the new food admins
tration, in so far as it contemplates
food conservation and elimination of
waste through the cooperation of vol
unteer forces.
while it would in many ways be
desirable to await complete legisla-
ton establishing the food admins
tration," the president wrote, ''it APP
pears to me that so far as voluntary
effort can be assembled we should
wait no longer"
Plans for enlisting every house
wife in the country as a volunteer
member of the food administration
have been announced by Mr.. Hoover.
Every woman will be taught to save
food in the kitchen and how to pur.
chase.
President Wilson's insistence that
the food bills be speeded up caused
the senate to put the food con
troll bill next on the calendar. and the
measure will be taken up Monday
when the house also begins debate on
the bill. The measure was reported
to the senate without recommendation

SECRETARY M'ADOO TO REJECT

BIG OFFERS TO BE REDUCED
Keep Tab on Late Comers-Banks
Buried in Offers-Appreciates
Work of Publicity in Making
Loan a Success.

Washington.-Secre McAdoo an
nounces that no part OF the great
oversubscription to the Liberty loan
would be accepted, and that his state
ment of May 10 in which he declared
that the issue would be limited to
$4,000, 100000 stood good now as then.
Mr.. McAdoo's announcement will
result in pairing down hundreds of the
larger subscriptions until the total
reaches the $2,OOO,O 900, 900 limit. How
much will have to be taken from the
amount the country offered to take
is still an unknown quantity. The
oversubscription will not fall below
$500. 100000 it seemed certain, and
may go as high as 5000, 100000.
Special TabuIation.
In disposing of reports that the
amount of the issue might be enlarg-
ed to include all offers, Mr.. McAdoo
issued the following statement:
"Allotments of Liberty bonds will
not be made in excess of the two
billion dollars offered. l announced
this on May 10, when the details of
the loan were first published.
81 have asked the reserve banks to
tabulate separately, and on supple
mentary lists, the subscriptions re-
ceived yesterday, June Is, after noon,
in order that l may be in a position
to consider, in making allotment OF
the two billion dollars of bonds, those
applications which, through no fault
of the subscriber, were not recorded
on time.
ut is impossible to foretell what de
cision will be reached in this matter
or to determine the basis upon which
allotments will be made until sub
stantially definite returns have beer
received from the several federal re
serve banks. The organizations o
!, these banks, unusually efficient, al
they are, have been overwhelmed b.
! the multitude of applications receiv
ed at the last moment
81 shall avail myself of the right re
served in the circular offering tn
; bonds, to allot in full upon applica
r lions for smaller amounts of bond
and to reduce allotments on applics
tions for larger amounts, as sue
, action will be clearly in the publ
4 interest"

SELECTED DRAFT BRINGS

Plans Include Appointment of Boards
Through Governors, Judges or

Washington.-Reg totaling
S,S96,790 under the selective draft
law have been reported from 40 states
and the District of Columbia. The
states still missing were Massachu-
sets, Kentucky and Wyoming. whose
aggregate is expected to bring the
grand total close to 100000.
By the time the registration rolls
are complete officials may be ready
to proceed with selections for the
first war army increment Work on
the regulations to govern selectives
and exemptions has been continued
while the totals were being compiled.
The greatest single problem pre-
scented is formulation of fair policy
of selecting exemption tribunals.
Three plans are understood to be un-
der consideration. One would pro-
vide for appointment through the
governors of the states, a second
through federal judges. and the third
through a central committee to be
located in Washington.

Go After the Mail
Order Business

Right now is the best possible time
for the retailers of the country to
start an aggressive campaign against
the invasion of their territory by the
mail order houses. There is need
of stimulant to increased effort. The
moral effect resultant from getting
busy along constructive and progress
sive lines is potential and far-reach-
ing.
War conditions and regulations
weaken the position of the big cata-
log houses. impeachment is offered to
prompt delivery. The value of the
home market is strengthened. There
is greater need for community CO.
operation and community loyalty
The logic of patronizing the home
merchant impresses itself with great
err force than in the past. 1t is die.
tated by self-interest.
Get out of the rut, away from the
trenches, and carry the fight to the
open and the offensive. Find out who
is depicting the home field by send
ing their money away for merchan
| hioC. IhahC a uClihitC tdh fooo VI lhC
situation. Go after the business, and
go after it hard.
Marshal the advantages that are
offered by the home dealer, empha-
size the need for wisdom and discre-
ton in buying. Point out the de-
mand strengthening the distributive
facilities of the local unit. Study the
catalog offerings that you may know
their weaknesses, as well as their
drawing power, enlist the co-opera-
ton of jobbers and manufacturers
in meeting this competition honestly
and fairly, but effectively.
Mail order buying is to be classed
among the luxuries. Protection and
safeguard to the home is a para
mount necessity. 1t is a duty that
legitimate merchants owe to them
selves and the public to prune away
the parasitic growths that are in
creasing the cost of doing business
and enriching the few through the
impoverishment of the many. Wipe
out the tendency towards commercial
autocracy by making the fight now,
when the public is in a receptive at
titude.

Government Is
Rendering Service

Uncle Sam is an extremely busy
man these days in making his prep
arations for war, but wholly aside
machinery to organize the armies, he
is also preparing in other ways, espe-
cially with regard to food matters.
The various governmental depart
ments were always more prolific of
bulletins on all conceivable subjects,
but of recent months they have been
issued in streams, and are of a much
more varied character.
These added features are proving
attractive and valuable. For instance,
the depart ment of agriculture,
through the marketing division, is is
suing a weekly statement of ship
ments of fruits and vegetables from
the various states, and in addition is
giving the prices at which they are
selling, together with a comparison
for the same period of last year.
Another recent innovation is the
issuance of a report. showing the
amount of foods of all kinds in cold
storage This is given out section
ally and the figures are compared
with the stocks in storage for the
same period last year. The figures
are given in great detail and those is
sued so far include fresh meats
cured meats, poultry, butter, eggs
cheese and apples and afford the
close student of available supplies
much food for thought.
Another line of bulletins being is
sued in great numbers is called thu
food thrift series" They cover
wide range of suggestions and have
especial reference to methods where
by economy can be practiced. Regu
lar meals from breakfast to Dime
are planned, all with the single idei
of suggesting substitutes to take thu
place of more expensive and scarce
products.
In this regard, the department i
digging up" foods that have hereto
fore been little heard of and littl
used, yet they are pointed out as no
only being wholesome but serve
useful purpose, to say nothing o
providing change of diet, all
very little expense. Ways of prepai
ing them are also given, and Will
many housewives would ordinarily
hesitate at using such products, tn
campaign is said to be having its ei
feet and many new dishes are mai
ing their appearance upon the table
of American homes.
For instance, who in the past use
dandelions as food, yet a govern
ment bulletin recommends them, a
also wild green's, curly dock, pigwee
or lambs quarters, chickweed, mus
tard shoots, purple milkweek shoots
young horseradish leaves, pok
Sprouts, pepper cress, purslane c

beets and onions, all of which tn
government says should be cooke
as is spinach.

1t is pretty hard to beat the effect
of truth in advertising. A large east
ern dry goods firm once said in an
ad: "They were intended to be worth
1925, but they are not" That was
good advertising; it was all the bet
ter because so few do it. The very
less refreshing and, moreover, it is
not without suggestion of good value
for the money. Many who advertise
are so used to drawing the long
bow" that it is hard to make them
see the advantage of sticking to facts.
Your advertising is largely "queered"
if people get the idea that statements
are exaggerated or evasive.
