COUNTY CHAIRMAN ASKED TO
COMPLETE ORGANIZATION
OF w. S. S. SOCIETIES

Atlanta, Ga, May ALI county
chairman for War Savings Stamps in
Georgia are being asked to complete
their county organization not later
than June in preparation for big
drive to be launched early in that
month. Georgia's War Saving
Stamp quota of $50000000 cannot be
sold without perfect organization, and
that is why State Director Hugh M
Richardson and his executive com
mittee have decided to lay special
stress on this work for the next four
weeks Complete organization means
that one War Saving Society must
be organized for every 800 persons at
the outside, and one sales agency for
Thrift and War Saving Stamps must
be established for every 800 1t means.
that every industrial, business, civic
commercial, educational, religious and
fraternal group in every county must
be organized to buy War Saving
Stamps Systematically, and to take
an active and enthusiastic part in the
great patriotic movement

EAT THIS Big CROP
EAT more notatoes."

Eat more potatoes"
With that slogan the Food Admin
istration has inaugurated a national
campaign to encourage the free mar
keting and consumption of potatoes.
1t has enlisted the cooperation Of all
agencies of the potato trade, state
and local authorities, various organi-
cations, and the press. During the
next few months the great potato
crop of America will be moved from
producing centers to points of con-
sumption as rapidly as the public will
consume the delectable "spuds."
There are two great reasons for do
ing this:
Cd American growers in 1917 pro-
duced great crop which in large part
is unmarketed on the coming of
spring. Bad weather conditions was
the cause; but if this crop is not con-
sumed rapidly and in larger proper
ton to other foods than is customary,
millions Of bushels of potatoes will
not be sold before the next harvest.
Such calamity could not fail to dis
courage potato growers who a year
ago responded to the appeal Of the
country to be patriotic and increase
food production.
(2) By eating plenty Of potatoes,
Americans can lower materially their
consumption of wheat products and
thus comply with the urgent request
of the, Food Administration to cut
the national consumption of wheat
products by 500.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-05-03
The Exceptions To the
- $3.50 Rule

By this time nearly everybody un-
derstands the pound-for-pound or So
30 ruling, to the effect that when you
buy wheat -four you must purchase
al the same time an equal weight Of
food products selected from the fol-
lowing: corn meal, corn -four, edible
eorn-starch, hominy, corn grits, barley
9our, rice, rice flour, potato -four, sweet
potato -four, oatmeal, rolled oats, soya
bean -four, feterita -four and. meals,
buckwheat -four.
This is clear to all, as we'll as the
fact that it does not matter whether
the buyer sticks to enc substitute or
distributes his choice among several.
SO long as the total weight of substi-
tutes equals that of the wheat -four.
! Somewhat less we'll understood are
the two exceptions to the $3.50 rule.
The first of these concerns graham
nour and whole wheat -four Both
OF these, because of the process of
milling, use a larger percentage OF the
wheat berry than regular wheat flour;
l O., bushel of wheat will make a
greater weight OF graham or whole
wheat -four than it does of the ordi-
nary wheat -four. In other words, gra-
ham and whole wheat fiours are in
themselves making wheat go farther.
For that reason, a person buying a GER
I n number of pounds of graham
-four or whole wheat -four, need get
o-ly 3-5 Of that weight in substitutes.
The second exception applies to
mixed fours- When any mixed flour
contains GO per cent or more of ingre-
dents other than wheat, it may be
sold alone. for it is observing the So
80 rule in itself. But il this mixed
-FOUR contains less than so per cent Of
substitute ingredients, that difference
must be made up by other purchases
For instance. suppose person bought

DANGER OF famine
(From Farm Life.)

Maybe you've seen that expression
before. 1t is taken from statement
made not long ago by Lord Rhondda,
the British food controller. 1t gives
Q graphic picture OF the food shortage.
III fact, as Lord Rhondda says:
THE food wanted by mankind does
not exist.
1.-The word shortage is not strong
enough for the situation.
ITO put the matter bluntly, the
whole world is UP against a nasty
thing, familiar to the people Of India.
called Famine"
1t is a good thing for us to let
that melancholy statement soak into
our consciousness. Then we'll do
what we can, every one of US, to save
the world from famine.
Some folks say that they are tired
OF hearing about starvation" and
food shortage" and similar unpleas-
ant things.

THE BOY SWINE BREEDER

The following was taken from
the editorial page of recent issue of
the Breeders Gazette:
BY dint of saving the small
amounts received from time to time
for especially faithful performance of
work at home on the farm a fifteen
year.old boy had bank account last
fall of $50. He attended a sale of
pedigree bred sows in February and
came home the proud posessor of an
$50 sow, carrying her own guarantee
of producing capacity. The home
folks said he was reckless with his
hard-earned money. He sagely re-
piled, Nothing risked, nothing made.
The best | can afford is none too
good for me-"
One afternoon recently the cherish
ed sow brought forth and saved a lit
ter OF nine strong pigs. At bedtime
the wind changed to the northwest.
A. few hours after midnight the young
stockman's father slipped out to the
open shed where the sow was shelter
ed to see that her litter should not
become chilled A lantern glimmered
at the shed and there was the young
lad proudly finishing the job of board
ing up the open side of the shed and
lacking a gunnysack over the door
way he had left.
Would tired boy gladly roll out
OF his warm bed on a cold midnight
to fuss around his fathers old sow?
Scarcely would the sternest of orders
bulge him. But his very own sow
which he had watched and admired a
hundred times in thirty days, whose
pigs he had counted over and over in
a single evening, and had fattened and
sold over and over again in the
dreams of half a night, her welfare
was the most compelling considera-
ton in life. 1t was JOY to do any
thing for her comfort
The man who evolved boys pig
clubs applied practical psychology
which is making many a stockman.
Many father understands its power
and clinches his sons devotion to the
farm through the youthful ownership
of live stock Hard work for father
may be drudgery; it is joyous to care
tor ones own thriving, growing in
teresting pigs. The more boy swine
breeders we have today the more sue
cessful stockman we shall have to-
morrow-and the more bacon we
shall have next year."
Last year the farm crops of Kan
sas were $142,000,0O0 less than Geor-
gia and those of Wisconsin $175.OOO.-

fed substitutes. In so doing, he would

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
US for breadStuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market Of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Adj
ministration. endeavoring to ad.
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food conserva-
tlon program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
and in Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change in the developing situa-
ton that they may know def
nitely the part their food sac
rifices play in the world war.

Preserving and Canning

DR.. Andrew M. Soule, federal food
administrator, says the preserving and
canning industry-with especial refer
ence to the home plants-need not be-
come anxious about inability to OBJ
tain necessary sugar this year. There
is no abundance of supply, but the
machinery for taking care Of preserv>
ing and canning will be worked out
and announced in ample time. Il is
useless and ill advised to attempt 10
lay up a little at time in order to
get an accumulation. :

To Remove Smoke Stains.

This suggestion will be beneficial to
housewives who have not the conven-
fence of electricity or the modern gas
fixtures. Frequently the ceiling
above an old-"ashioned gas JET be-
comes dis colored from smoke and heat.
The discoloration may be removed If
layer of starch and water is applied
with piece of flannel. After the mix
ture has dried it should be brushed
lightly with brush. No stain or mark
will remain.

FOOD FACTS

They are even tired Of having the
papers urge greater production.
When they reflect little on Lord
Rhondda's statement, these tired ones

Under no circumstances must more
than 25 pounds of sugar be sold on

at any one time. No retailer shall sell
to the same customer on additional
certificates until he has satisfied him
self that the permission obtained in
previous certificates has not been
abused"
The certificate forms must be pro-
vided by dealers, and will not be pro-
vided by the food administration.

THE x. OF C. DRIVE

ITO-MORROW the Knights of
of Columbus begin their drive
for funds with which to main
tain recreation centers in the Army
encampments. The Y. NJ. c. A. and
the knights of Columbus are the
only organizations doing this kind of
work by authority of the govern
ment. The sum they ask is very
modest, in comparison with other
requests of the kind, and they de-
serve the support of the public, both
because they themselves worked
nobly and contributed generously to-
ward the success of the Y. NJ. C. A.
drive and because their "huts" will
be open to all soldiers. whether or
not they are members of the order.
Men of all sects and faiths are rep
resented on the committees in
charge of the campaign, as on all
the others that have preceded it.
Harrisburg and Dauphin county al
ways respond to the call for aid in
war work of any kind and there can
be no question of the success of this
latest phase Of war giving.

THE TAGLESS TAGGED

nN HERE need be no sympathy
wasted upon the man who tries
to run an automobile to-day or
Tomorrow or any day this week with
"a 1917 tag and gets arrested. He
has had his chance. For weeks the
newspapers have been filled with
urgings by Highway Commissioner ].
Denny O'Neil for owners of motor
vehicles to get their licenses for the
new year. Plain notice was given
that all applications made within a
reasonable time would be filed and
the tags in the hands of the proper
persons so that they could be dis
played wnere the law directs on
New Years Day. To take care of
the late comers the Automobile Di-
vision remained open last night until
midnight.
1t is estimated that 100, 900 out of
the 100000 vehicles in the State were
registered for 1918. Some people
are going to get into trouble. It will
be their own fault. The law requires
licenses to be displayed on the first
Of the year. There is no use in hav-
ing license system If 1t does not
start on a designated date and is en-
forced from that time. And there is
no excuse, in view of the ample
notices given, why anyone should
not have tag.
