FOOD ADMINISTRATION LETS
FARMERS FEED STOCK GRAIN

On account of shortage Of feed
due to severe drought conditions of
the past season the Food Admins
tration has made a special ruling APP
plicable to the State of Washington
and other states of the Northwest
zone relaxing the prohibition against
feeding of wheat to animals and poul-
try.
Any wheat grading below number
three or which for any reason is not
Of good milling standard may be
released for feeding. Also all wheat
at remote points inaccessible to trans
portation and all wheat grown in
such small quantities as not to be
readily marketed may thus be re-
leased for feeding.
Samples of all such wheat must be
submitted to the County Feod Ad-
ministrator and none shall be fed un-
til the County Food Administrator
has issued written permit to the
owner of such wheat.
The prohibition against -four mills,
grist mills and others grinding wheat
for this purpose may be considered
suspended in all cases where the
County Food Administrator has is
sued a permit to the owner to feed
such wheat.
County Food Administrators will
please impress upon all applicants
for permits that it is not the inten-
tion of the Food Administration to is
sue permits to feed wheat except
where it is impossible to obtain
coarse grain for feeding purposes at
reasonable prices. 1t is the duty of
every feeder of stock to make every
reasonable effort to supply his feed
requirements without using wheat.
The foregoing permission from the
cially for the States of this zone, and
must not be abused. In case of any
abuse of the privilege granted or OF
any unfair practice as to price or
otherwise. the County Food Admin
istrator is authorized to cancel any
permit issued by him.
County Food Administrators will
exercise their best judgment in the
issuance of wheat feeding permits &C
cording to the foregoing limitations
in order that there may be uniformi-
ty in all sections however. they are
requested to notify Mr.. ]. X. Smith,

GUS.
When the United States entered
the great war the Young Women's
Christian Association was, as always.
working among women. With the
call to new duties its members did
not abandon their old responsibilities.
The War Work Council was formed
as an emergency measure to take
care Of the women who were caught
in some of the mazes of war, Just as
the parent organization has taken
care OF them through many years of
peace. The varied activities decided
upon by the War Work Council fol.
low closely the needs Of the differ
ent communities of the country Sec
retaries trained In the methods of
the organization were sent out
broadcast. They were instructed to
report to the National Board of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tons in New York the lines Of work
which could be best followed in the
various localities. These secretaries
work in close cooperation with min
listers. women's clubs, chambers OF
commerce, churches. military officials.
and charitable societies. The rec.
ord Of a days doings Of q secretary
reads like q novel, an economic
treatise, and q psychological essay
all compressed into a hne-a-day entry.
A secretary sent out by the War
Work Council must be equal to any
emergency. Miss Lillian Hull at Chill.

came upon forlorn couple. A Fin

wife, so that she might come on
from Cleveland. When she arrives
she was refused the place because
she spoke no English. Their money
had been all spent on the railroad
fare, and the soldier was due back
at Camp. The situation was bad.
Thanks to Miss Hull Chillicothian
housewife now has an industrious
and grateful domestic, . soldier is
happy, and q soldiers wife il safe.
Army folks often benefit even more
directly from the secretaries' work.
In Bremerton, Washington, a secre-

he was on the verge of deserving.
But this woman gave him genuine
sympathy and encouragement. She
saved him to his country.
From north, south, east and west
these pioneer secretaries sent In
their reports. The appalling size OF
the undertaking was revealed to the
War Work Council. Systematization
of the work was the first step. Out
of the multitudinous phases certain
lines of work were revealed.
