In a report by r. H. King, director

It is his aim to make that percentage

will act accordingly.
Two states have already exceeded

WHEATLES5 MEALS
UNTIL KEW CROP
UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINS.
TRATloN APPEAL READ IN SUM-
DAY SCHOOLS AND PuLPlTS.
THE WHEAT MUST BE SAVED

Nashville, Tenn.-A wheatless Ten.
nessee until the next wheat crop is
available. That is the program Of the
United States Food Administration,
directed In this state by DR.. H. AZ
Morgan. On last Sunday an appeal
from Herbert Hoover, United States
Food Administrator, was read in thou
sands Of Sunday schools and pulpits,
asking the people of the state who
could do so to go on a wheatless ra-
ton. The response in many sections
was most gratifying, hundreds and
thousands of people pledging them
selves to abstain absolutely from the
use Of any wheat products until tl9
next crop goes on the market
This appeal wiz be read this week
in hundreds of fraterlal lodges in the
state. 1t will be presented to numer-
GUS woman's clubs, the councils OF
defense and many other patriotic or
ganizations.
The Food Administration Is bring
ing every means at its command to
bear upon the people of this state to
get them to adopt the wheatless ra-
tion. Outside of the Industrial ecu
tiers, where the people must Of neces'
sity eat largely of wheat bread, or a
bread of a large wheat content, be-
cause they have little facilities at
home for home baking, and many of
them must eat cold lunches, it ia
hoped that all the patriotic people OF
the state will go on the wheatlesa
diet.
1t is a race between the needs OF
the allies for wheat flouR the ever
decreasing surplus of America and
the efforts the Food Administration
Is making for conservation in order
that an admittedly inadequate sup
ply may be made to serve the largest
possible use.
It has been necessary repeatedly
for the Food Administration of France
to reduce the bread allowance OF the
people of that country, although bread
has always been the chief article OF
diet of the French. Failure to get an
adequate supply from this country to
at least meet the minimum needs OF
France and England would mean dis
aster for the American and allied ar
mics in this conflict.
1t has been brought to the attention
of the Food Administration that ia
many homes in the country wheat
flour Is being served almost as abun
dainty as It was before the war, and
that in homes that have given sons to
the war, subscribed to the Red Cross
and bought Liberty bonds. These peo-
pie have g led to appreciate the tire
mendous Importance Of wheat conser-
vations as q measure. a vital one, too,
of national defense. Thoughtlessly,
they have gone on in the old way, lit
tie regard being had for the frequent
appeals Of the Food Administration.

At that time the widest dreams of the most progressive could never have imag- ined the city having lady chauffeurs, but this now has become an accom- olished fact and Miss G.

 Be it resolved, by the Priorities Board, that gold mining is an es- sential war industry, and that the powers of this board will be so ex- ercised as to accord to such industry preferential treatment in the supply not only of tools, machinery and equipment, but in transportation service, fuel supply and labor sup ply"

Members of the Home Guards Last Evening
 Also Discussed
 New Bylaws.

Thirty-two signatures were SC for membership in the Juneau Gun and Rifle Club The only reason more members were not secured Is that a number left the meeting be- fore the question was brought up according to Capt. George w. Mock. Capt. Mock said that the Juneau Gun Club had remitted the $5 fee for members of the Home Guarc, and has requested that all members who have not already signed the sub scription list call at the office of the c. w. Young Company, sign the list, and pay the fee of $1. as Capt. Mock is anxious to secure the privi- lege of using The rife range for tar get practice.
 No definite arrangements were made for the entertainment of the troops from Fort Seward because of the uncertainty of the date they may arrive. Capt Mock said that they were expected any time be- tween the goth and 27th
 There was a great deal of dis cussion among the members of the Home Guard regarding the new con stitution and bylaws. The need of Territorial legislation to properly define the status of the guards was made evident at the meeting, and it is believed that as the result of the discussions a measure will be presented to the next Territorial Legislature.

 '1n this connection we beg tc say that the gold mining industry has been listed on the first pref erence list and they should now have no trouble whatever in obtain. ing their future supplies and mate rial.
 'If they have any trouble which will interfere with the production of gold, if they will be kind enough to call 1t to our attention, we vii. do whatever we can to straighten the matter out, although we believe that their position is such on the Preference List that they ought not to have any trouble"
 To this Delegate Sulzer adds:
 "I will appreciate it very much if you will give publicity to this statement And if the miners meet with anw difficulty in obtaining theii supplies, I would be glad to have them notify me as well as the Pri critics Committee, that I may takt it up in their behalf"
