WHEAT WANTED At WkR
BIG HOTELS CUT IT CUT

Saltimore.-Patrons who object to

when they want wheat will be allowed
by a leading Baltimore hotel to FL

sure that If anybody will thus openly
confess he thinks more of eating
wheat than of winning the war that
lander.
More wheat must be saved to In
sure victory. Mr.. Hoover recently
made that definite announcement to a
national gathering from the Hotel
mems Association Five hundred
Danish wheat from their menus till
next harvest time. Several OF these
represented the largest Baltimore no

When every pound counts that fg-
ure means much. Yet 1t Is but frac-
ton Of the saving that will be effect.
ed when the rest Of Maryland's hotels,
restaurants, and clubs take the Food
A6nninis word as to the need
and give him in return their word Do
rise to t.
Tho regulations permit a hotel to
serve an average of a little more than
an ounce OF wheat to each meal. How
cutting out that ounce runs into hun
dreds Of pounds q week is shown by
the typical case Of the Hotel Belve-
dere. There seven thousand meals are
served a week-and every one Of them
real wheatless ones, meals without
grain of wheat OF that military
necessity" the increased mobilization"
is 500 pounds each week. The com.
plete substitution of other fours made
from rice, corn, potato, buckwheat,
etc, and the use of quick breads and
biscuits will put each month at Uncle
Sans disposal over ten more barrels
Of -four. Already three carloads have
been turned over to the Federal al.
thorities.
If one hotel can save a ton a month,
how much can be saved by total alb
stfnence from wheat IN Maryland's
quarter million homes? The need is
urgent The difficulties are not small.
To accept the whole gospel Of wheat
lessness must entail patriotic sacr.
fee. But the housewife who is eager
TO do her bit by weaponing our army
with wheat has something new in her
favor-should she need 1t. As one Of
them says, we women hope soon to
have the men at our mercy. If any
don't like our bread and biscuits, they
won't be able to flounce out and get
the pre-war kind The time has about
come when no frst-class hotel or up
to-date club will serve it to them. No
longer will they find there a haven
from our patriotic baking"

RAISERS
 ARE HARD HIT
 BY DRY SPELL

DALLAS, Tex, April 24.-Cattle raisers in Texas have been hard hit by the lack of moisture in the past two years and West Texas herds which were not depleted by the drought have been reduced by sales and by shipment to better ranges.
 l. N. McCrary, interested in a ranch of 175O00 acres near Post City, said recently that there had not been good rain in his section since Feb ruary IA, 1916. If we don't get a good rain within thirty or forty days it is hard to predict just what will be- come of the cattlemen and their herds," he said. "For four years our range cleared better than $lOO,OOO a season. Last year we didn't make a cent and it will be the same this year"
 Hundreds of thousands of cattle perished of thirst last summer Those that were able to stand the trip were sent to better ranges in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.
 Cattle left on the Texas range during the winter suffered consider ably in the January and February blizzards, because of their poor phy- sical condition and cattlemen say that hundreds of thousands of calves will be lost this spring because of the con dition of the cows. Many ranchmen are shipping their calves to market and for the next two or three years there probably will be marked short age of young Texas cattle.
 West Texas banks have come to the aid of the cattlemen in loaning them money with which to buy feed and also make shipments.
 A Birmingham (AlA.) business man, owner of big ranch about 15O miles west of Fort Worth, came to Texas a few weeks ago to sell the property. He said he had reduced the cattle on his ranch from herds valued at $7,OO0,OO0 to about S500,Ooo, but he expected that with good rains and seasons the herds would be built up again.
 The wives of ranchmen generally are refraining from the purchase of new spring and summer dresses, in keeping with the spirit of ecnomy and automobile salesmen from West Tex as say that there is TO demand for new automobiles.
