EVERYBODY HELPING
SAVE FOOD NOW
Not Only the Housewife, But the Men,
the Hotels and Restaurants and the
Farmers, Have Got the Habit.

Columbia-In the first months OF
food conservation, the housewives Of
She country were often heard to COM
plain and to ask: What is the use
of trying to ave food in our kitchens
when waste on 80 much larger scale
is going on everywhere" The men,
in public eating places, were particu-
larly pointed out as wasters; and 1t
was complained that in the manufac-
ture of food there was another big
waste.
If this was true several months ago,
however, it is no longer fair COM
plant. The men Of the country, both
in business and in private, are doing
their part, in a patriotic way, to con-
serve the worlds food.
Since the increasing need OF saving
wheat has been made plain by the
food administration, many hotels and
restaurants all over the country have
voluntarily pledged themselves to do
without wheat until the next harvest.
And now an effort is to be made to
increase the coming wheat harvest by
cleaner threshing. It has been esti-
mated that three bushels of grain in
every 100 bushels threshed can be
saved by better methods. Where
grain has been exceptionally poorly
threshed as much az 10 per cent has
gone into the straw stack. To correct
this waste has become very impor-
tsnt in view Of the nations war needs,
and the food administration has this
year established q special grain
threshing division to carry on cam
paign Of education and to actually
help the farmers Of the country to
properly and to thoroughly thresh
their grain.
Still another effort to increase the
-four output during this crisis is be-
ing made by urging farmers not to
hold over any Of their crop for seed.
Even if we have only normal crop
there is little fear that any risk would
be run in not holding over seed for
next years sowing. During the next
two to three months every bushel OF
grain that can be recovered may play
an important part in the drama OF
war.

DANGEROUS RUMOR
SHOWN TO BE FALSE

Columbia-Reports in circulation
to the effect that Food Administration
officials had stated no further con.
servation of wheat was necessary have
been nailed as unfouded in telegram
received by William Elliott, State food
administrator, from Herbert Hoover.
mo statement Of this character has
ever been issued" says Mr. Hoover,
and the federal food administrator
then states frankly the exact situation
which emphasizes the absolute neces-
sity Of even greater conservation Of
wheat than the American people have
yet practiced. For that reason the ap-
peal was recently made to the Ameri-
can people, through the churches, by
Mr.. Hoover, asking that every one
who possibly can do 50 discontinue
eating wheat or wheat products in any
form until the next harvest.
It is stated in Mr.. Hoover's tOle.
gram that American supplies of wheat
until the next harvest allow a home
consumption of not more than one
third of normal, il America is to MAIN
tain allied supplies-that is, the send
ing of wheat to Europe, as this coun-
try is pledged to do.
At the beginning of May, there were
in farmers hands and in storage in
America about 75,000,000 bushels Of
wheat, which will have to carry the
American people for approximately
three months, until the new crop
comes in. Americas normal consump-
tion for three months would be 120,-
100000 bushels, not allowing the allies
anything
= 1t can therefore be readily seen that
reports quoting Food Administration
officials as saying there is no further
need OF whaat saving are simply On
emy propaganda Of very dangereaa
kind

Home-Canned Products Will
be Given Preference Over
Maryland and Virginia Pack
by Large Concerns.

been developed in South Carolina for
all home-canned fruits and vegetables
that will be put up during the CON-
ing canning season in excess OF do
mestic needs This announcement has
been made by the Conservation and
Production Division OF the Food Ad-
ministrstion, which has been work
ing on the problem Of marketing Of
home-canned products for the past
two months. A number Of the lead
ing wholesale grooers and jobbers Of
the State have not only expressed
their willingness to buy home-canned
fruits and vegetables properly pre-
pared for commercial use, but will
give the home-canned product the
preference over Maryland and Vir.
ginia packed goods.
The Food Administration has on
file the requirements of several large
concerns and has been asked to find
the canned products to supply their
needs. Thousands Of cans of fruits
and vegetables can be readily sold,
but the packers will be required, as a
matter of course, to conform to GER
tain trade rules.
In the first place, the price must be
in conformity with that for which
Maryland and Virginia packed goods
can be bought
Canned products should not be of.
fered for the wholesale trade except
IN large lots. It is suggested that
farmers and others who desire to put
upfruits and vegetables for the market
form marketing agencies, in order that
their product may be handled in larg-
ex lots to a greater advantage.
The grades must be uniform and
certain standards maintained. The
canned product must of course be put
up in uniform cases, and the cans uni
formly labelled.
Contracts for fall deliveries should
be made now or in the very near
future.
Canning clubs, community clubs or
marketing & agencies with large guam
titles Of canned fruits and vegetables
to offer for sale should write the Food
Administration, Conservation and Pro
duction Division, at Columbia, stating
what they have to offer at the present
time or what they will have to deliver
in the fall, stating the price desired
and all information.
The Food Administration will make
no purchases or sales, but it may serve
as connecting link to bring the pack
ers and the dealers together.
AS has already been announced,
there will be plenty Of cans and jars
available for home Gamers during the
coming season. Communities that are
not supplied should report to the Food
Administration at Columbia, and mer-
chants will be put in touch with
sources Of supply upon request. At.
tractive stock labels can be bought
at a very low price.
Packers of fruits and vegetables
should remember that they cannot e1-
pect to receive the retail price for
their products If sold at whole sale,
and those who have only job lots to
offer should seek a market in their
home communities. The wholesaler
and the jobber cannot handle job
lots.
ANY information which may be de-
sired by any interested person or can
ming club will be furnished by the
Conservation and Production Division
Of the Food Administration, Columbia.

LEARNING EVERY rtY.

One never gets too old to learn.
learned several things on Sunday last
I had heretofore learned that even
a Ford would not run when the gaso-
line feed pipe was choked so that the
gasoline would not get to the motor
l learned on Sunday that the engine
would get hot and refuse to turn over
when the cylinder oil got too low
And / also learned that one may have
q lot of tire trouble even when he has
his mascot along. And then l learu-
ed a whole lot about human nature
and the ethics of the road.

I had promised to be in Columbia
Sunday morning by 9 o'clock, and that
l found is pretty soon since the day
light law went into effect. And theh
Rev. DR.. Babb said I had to be IN
Pomaria the same afternoon at five
o'clock to make a speech in the Wa'
Savings Stamp campaign. So told
the mascot to be on hand by five
o'clock a. M, and we would try to get
off by 6. Well, to start with he was
an hour late. And then 1 decided It
would be a nice ride for my American
bows and their mother if everything
worked we'll. So with them and Miss
MYRTLE Aull we left at o'clock bound
for Columbia, with the avowed pur-
nose of getting back to Adam Aulrs
for dinner, and then rest an hour or
two and think out something to say
at Pomaria.
Everything worked beautifully and
III ran as pretty as we ever saw
even a more pretentious machine,
until we got within about ten miles
of Columbia when we discovered that
the cylinder oil was out. A numDer
of friends whom we knew stopped and
offered assistance, but none had any
oil. and many whom we did not know
offered help but no one had oil. Some
passed with heads straight in from
and did not even deign to take
glance at US. It is but symptom
of the age that made, them go along
without thought of helping a fellow
man in distress. If they ever heard
of the distress sign I am sure they
have forgotten it, though maybe some
time along the wayside they may have
to sound it for themselves. Finally,
q colored man who lived by the road
side came out and told US that a
man who lived a mile away possibly
could let US have some oil. We sent
over and secured enough to take Us
into Columbia, but we were late. TOO
late to get to Adam Aull's for that
good dinner I know he had for US
But we got dinner with John ant
Kate and started back in plenty of
time to get that hours rest, if every
thing had gone we'll.

The meeting was held in the audi
torium of the school house and I
could not help thinking what great
thing those good people did when
they built that school house. 1t be-
comes in reality the centre of the
community and the place for just
such gatherings. Mr. q. F. Wright
was present and the people asked
me to take charge Of the meeting.
This I did as best I could and told
them something about the reasons
why we should buy these stamps or
bonds of the government. The at
tendance was very good and the peo-
pie were interested. Mr.. Wright made
a GOOD talk and explained the stamps
and there was good music by a beyy
of young people and altogether I'VE
had a good meeting.

But things are not only not always
what they seem, but you can never
tell how many flat tires you are going
to have on hot day, and even Il
mile the hour schedule can not al
wavs be maintained. / do not re-
member how many times we had to
change tires. but I know the delays
were sufficient to force us to cut out
the idea of getting to Adam Aulis
and also be on time at Pomaria. We
felt in duty bound to be at Pomarif,
if possible, and so when we got to
Spring Hill we decided to come by
Lattakoo, and if the time was toe
short, to cut off there into Pomaria,
and this we did and reached Pomaria
exactly at o'clock We were on
time but utterly out of tune to try
to make a talk on War Savings
Stamps or any other subject But
we did the best we could under the
circumstances.

Of Westhrook and the Portland Rail-
road Go. in 1901 does not prevent the

the investigation. The order now per-
mits the books to be Withdrawn, find
