WOMEN ASK FOR
RATIONING PLAN
American Women Volunteer to
Buy Fixed Amounts OF Meat,
Bread Flour, Sugar
and Butter.
PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK.
Idea Supplements U. S. Food Admins
trations New Home Gard Now
in 100000 Homes.

The women of America, who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning of the war, are now, as
whole, familiar with the most impOr-
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Gard, both IN its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918,
which provides for two wheatless days,
one meatleSs day week, in addition
to Wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er vigorous campaign in 100000
American homes An intelligent and
conscientious observance of the Home
, Cards requirements is all the Food
| Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration has had
great many cquests, however, partlcu-
larly from the homes of the well-to-do,
that it. should issue a worked out plan
for a voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for voluntary ration
springs from two csuses-first, be.
cause it is far simpler for the house
wife to save food when she has con-
| crete working plan by which to pro-
ceed, and, second, because the loyal
women of America desire, unseIfishly,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women Of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad.
ministration is almost the same as
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King
dom, in hundreds Of houses there
hangs in the front window card with
the stirring pledge, AIN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION.
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA.
TloNS."
The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, Is
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Meat-Beef (fresh, salted, tin
ned and hasheU mutton,
! lamb and veal (mutton by
preference) ............... 21s lbs.
Butter ..................... Y lb.
Cooking Fats margarine, lard,
lard substitutes, vegetable
oils) ................... Y lb.
Wheat Flour (for use in cook.
ing gravies, etc, where
! corn starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
substituted) .............. v lb.
Victory Bread Containing at
least 20 per cent. Of a sub.
stitute for wheat flour) -. ~ lbs.
Sugar (ncluding all sugar
used on the table and in
cooking and all Sweatmeats
and candies. but not that
used for canning and pre-.
SerNlng) ................. u 10.
The items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk and cream, as much
may be used as necessary, and chill
dren, of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
be used as freely rs Is desired.
The above ration is In no wise In
tended to supplant the Home Card,
but rather to supplement it, 1t has
been published with the idea that 1t
will be very real aid to the Ameri-
can woman in her splendid effort to
carry out the great food conservation
program.

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 203 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
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 minimum.
In altering its food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration~ emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity, o.
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-
tlon that they may know def
nitely the part their food sac
rifces play in the world war.

BellevieW District
Gets On Honor Roll

When the Belleview school district
was asked to raise their quota of war
savings stamps of $3,302, they went
at it with characteristic Belleview
energy. At the mass meeting at the
school on the 2Sth, it took but a few
minutes to pledge the necessary
amount to complete the quota.
The results of the campaign show
cd that with one or two exceptions,
every one in the district had done
their part, the spirit with which the
Hedges were made proving that the
PEOPLE of the community are solidly
behind the government. Slackers in
Delleview are lonesome.
The success of the movement was
brought about largely through the
very efficient management of Mrs.
Mary Tucker, secretary Of the school
tcard, assisted by the president Of the
board, Charles e. Gray. Mrs. Tucker
held her three teams of men solicit
tors on the job until every
Ierson had been interviewed and on
the last lap she got out herself, to
be sure that no stone was left un-
turned to bring in dollars for Uncle
Sam and the boys with the colors.

City Over the Top
In w. S. S. Drive

The mass meeting called for Fri
day night to finish up the war savings
stamp drive that had been carried
on during the week was unnecessary
SO far as that motive was concerned,
as Chairman Banta had the satisfac-
tion of announcing that Ashland had
gone over the top with its quota.
This was certainly cheering news
to the men who had labored unceas-
ingly through the week and had
given much time and energy that
the city would not fail in its reputa-
tion Of meeting all its demands for
war loans and charities.
This meeting, therefore, was turn
ed into one of rejoicing, and while
not SO large an assemblage was pres
ent as was hoped, the occasion was
notable one to those who were
deeply interested in this campaign.
Councilman c. w. Banta, chair
man Of the war savings stamp drive
presided at the meeting which was
opened with prayer by Rev. C. A.
Edwards, after which Mrs. Julia
Hockett sang the new war song late
iy written by Mrs. Carrie R. Mink
lei Of Ashland City Attorney Fred
Mears of Medford gave a short but
intensely patriotic address in which
he impressed upon his audience the
Iced of standing by the government
in all of the demands made upon
her people during this gigantic strug-
gle to win the war.
Another vocal selection by Mrs.
Hockett and clever original poem
entitled Yankees" by p. P. Camp
bell closed the meeting.
Statements from over the county
point to the result of more than max
ing the quota of s25S,66O. +

Ashland Boy Gets
Rapid Advancement

Gerald Wenner, well known Ash
land young men, and son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. III. Wenner, is fast forging
to the front in his military career.
Gerald responded to his country's 3
call last summer and went out with
the old 1st company when they de-
parted for Fort Stevens. He was
sent later to the Presidio, San Fran
cisco, for three months course in
officers training after which he went
TO Fort Monroe, Virginia, for an ad-
vanced course.
Recently Mrs. Wenner received
word from the young soldiers that
he had got his commission as ser
geent-mojor, and is assigned to duty
at the fort.
In his letter Gerald stated that
while he presumed his mother will be
clad to learn Of his permanent post
in the United States, it is quite dis
appointment to him to remain at
home while IA of his comrades left
the fort for France a short time
ago.
Gerald was a member of the cleri-
cal force of the First National bank
of this city before he left for Fort
Stevens, and his many friends here
who will be rejoiced to hear Of his
rapid advancement.

County Drafted Men
TO Have Reception

The drafted men Of Jackson county
who will start for the camps some
time after July 8, will be rendered a
rousing reception in Ashland on the
forenoon of that date. Chairman E.
T. Staples, of the celebration COM
mittee, together with Mayor Lamkin,
has completed arrangements whereby
the boys who will leave Medford pos
sibly Saturday or Sunday will have
part in the Ashland celebration.
The ceremonies will be held in the
rark at IL o'clock Friday morning,
July 5. Prof. Irving E. Vining has
accepted an invitation to be one of
the speakers, and Attorney P. ]. Neff
OF Mediord will be another.
This assures a speaking program
Of unusuall excellence, as both men
are gifted orators and both have a
keen appreciation of the issues in
yolved at the present time. There
will also be musical program, and
other numbers of an appropriate ma
ture to be announced later.
County Clerk Gardner, represent
ing the county draft board, is en-
thusiastic over the idea and offers
the Ashland committee every assist
ance in his power. AS few Ashland
young men 60 out at one time, and
as they have to entrain at Medford,
their exodus heretofore has attracted
no public attention, but owing to
this movement of the draft contin-
gent coming during the Fourth of
July festivities, an effort is being
made to have this one of the most
memorable occasions for southern
Oregon since the declaration of war.
