NHEAT CONSERVATION
is MOST IMPORTANT

Portland, Ore, April 11.-"The
conservation of wheat is the most i'm
portant duty of the nation during the
next four months. / can not stress
too emphatically the Importance Of
This duty, which now confronts every
man, woman and child in the United
States"
These are the words of Federal
Food Administrator W. B. Aver, who
earnestly urged the people of Oregon
to cut their use of wheat flour down
tc the least possible amount, or to
eliminate it altogether, for the period
named.
II wonder" said Mr.. Aver in re-
cent interview, "how many people
have considered that the real solu-
tion of the wheat-saving problem is
Tie absolute abandonment by us all,
of purchasing wheat flour at all.
This need not be the hardship that it
sounds, for the various substitutes
are now more plentiful and we are
all learning how to use them in mix
ing palatable breads and pastries,
We are also learning that by eating
more potatoes, rice and vegetables
especially potatoes-we require less
bread
"The Food Administration head
quarters at Washington report that
there are now several thousand men,
women and children banded together
in small clubs in different parts of
the country, who are pledged to eat
no wheat at all for the next four
months. These clubs are composed
of loyal Americans who realize, as
so many do not, the seriousness OF
the food problem and who eagerly
welcome the opportunity for this
slight personal sacrificed as a war
service. have not as yet heard Of
any such organization in Oregon, but

OF loyal families who have quietly
adopted the wheatless program, and
who are rigidly adhering to 1t. | am

who is not his or her utmost in this
regard is falling short of his or her
duty.
"The free and undisciplined people
of this nation should keep in mind
at all times that we are at war with
a country whose people are under the
most rigid discipline and who obey
unquestioningly every rule laid down
for them. How can we hope to win
against such an organization il we do
not show more readiness to follow
the rules and regulations which are
laid down for us by our own leaders
without more teamwork? Mr.. Hoo
yer has asked this nation for team
work, and the Food Administrator
must have it. Without teamwork,
and the most cordial, whole-hearted
kind of teamwork, we will fall short
Of our most important and most i'm
perative war service-that of feeding
the fighting armies and the famish
ing peoples allied with us in this
great life-and-death struggle against
the rule of Prussianism. The Food
Administration, charged with the
duty and the difficult task of provid-
ing food for the fighting forces across
the sea, and for the struggling civil
ian population of the allies, has
asked us to save wheat. Let us save

SECOND DRAFT CALL
WILL SOON BE DUE

Orders for the mobilization of the
first large number of men of the Sec
ond draft will go out to the govern
ors of the states very soon.
Fifteen thousand men of the sec
ond draft are now mobilizing and
the April call about to go out will
represent probably more than the
months proportion of the 100000
men who it previously has been an
nounced will be called during the re-
naming nine months of the year. To
call the 100000 in equal monthly in
crements would mobilize them at the
rate of 10000 month, approximate
ly. However, there is no assurance
that this will be fixed figure be-
cause the flow of men will be deter
mined by the needs Of the army in
France. As General Pershing may
call for specially qualified troops an
average of 10000 a month may be
much exceeded or much decreased.
1t has been announced that the
men will be drawn as gradually and
In as small numbers as possible so
as not to dislocate industry and par
agriculture.
So far as possible this plan will be
The immediate need of in
creasing the American forces in
France, however, to meet the Ger
man drive in the west is likely to re-
suit in calling the men faster than
first supposed For that reason the
April quota undoubtedly will exceed
It's normal average. In fact, if the
need is pressing, the entire 100000
might be called in much less time
than the nine months originally
scheduled.

NO WAR SESSION
:OFLEGISLATURE
HARDING HAS OTHER PLANS TO
MEET THE WAR
EMERGENCIES.

Des Moines, Jan. 10.-Governo1
w. l.. Harding has definitely abandon
ed plans for calling a special war SEES
sion of the Iowa legislature, at least
for the present, it was learned today
1t had been proposed that special
session be called to enact legislation
legaliZing the state council of defense
which now acts merely in an advisory
capacity to the governor, and to pro-
vide for institutions under the state
board of control.
TO ACCOUNT FOR FUND.
Governor Harding said today that
he would outline tomorrow, at meet
ing of the defense council, plans which
he says will meet all present war
emergencies including the financial
needs of the various state institutions.
The governor will make known to
the council the status of the $1,000,00O
war fund appropriated by the legisla-
ture last spring for raising and equip.
ping an army, and of which $250,000
was used last summer in mobilizing
and maintaining Iowa national guards
men until they were mustered into
federal service.
To provide necessary funds for in
situations under the state board of
control, money could be borrowed at
per cent interest, the governor said.
INTEREST SHOWN AS SAVING.
During the first six months of the
current fiscal year, the Indebtedness
of these institutions aggregated $780,
900, due in large measure to the in
creased coal. If this rate Of indebted
ness were continued, it would amount
to s360,OO0 by the time the next ap>
preparations became available in July
1920.
Interest on this amount the gov
ernor pointed out, would approximate
$4,000 which he declared would be
much less than the cost of a special
session. He estimated that session
would continue at least twelve days,
at an average daily expense Of from
$4,000 to $4,000.
