URGES OBSERVING APRIL s
!. AS ''WIN THE WAR DAY"
william II. Lewis Of Patriotic So
! eisties Makes Appeal to Gov
ernment Officials.

Nationwide Observance Of April as
National Win the War Day" is urged
in q circular appeal sent out by Will
liam Mather Lewis. secretary of the
National Committee of Patriotic So
cieties. On this date a year ago the
United States recognized a state of
war with the imperial German govern
M.ant.
Mr.. Lewis has sent out copies Of the
appeal to the President, members of
the cabinet and Congress and other
government officials and patriotic So
oaeties. 1t is planned to have the first
anniversary of Americas entrance into
the war celebrated by appropriate ex-
eretses In schools, public assembly
places and generally observed by all
cttiSens Of the United States.
It Is not suggested that the day be
observed as a holiday, thus depriving
thousands OF persons of work on April
Because of numerous working DAYS
LOST during the past winter, it is not
Advisable that the occasion be a holi-
day" says Mr.. Lewis. In every fac
tory and store and on every farm
there should be a brief period of the
Gay when every one who is loyal to the
nag should stand up and be counted.
1I4gs should everywhere be unfurled" {"
TWO of the most important results
6rom such an observance, Mr. Lewis
points out, would be the inspiring Of
courage in American troops and de-
preston to the enemy.

that the time for filing income and ex.

from March l to April /. there has been
a slight falling off in the number Of
callers at the Legal building. To those
inclined TO put of this important duty
the advice Of the revenue officers is
"Dol't delay" Better, they say, to get
your return in early and avoid the big
rush that is sure to come during the
last days Of March.
This advice applies especially to gov
ernment employees. both federal and
from the income tax. but the exemption
does not extend to employees of the
United States government. AS District

the filing out Of the forms.

parently failed to understand is that the
tax applies only to income for 1917. Many

| before LII
| All sound like foolish questions.
But wait: Perhaps you saw an item
in this newspaper Of Saturday, Feb
ruay q, quoting a Washington
housewife as complaining about the
necessity of buying wheat substi-
tutes under the $3.50 plan-in other
words, the necessity Of buying one
pound of our substitutes for each
pound of wheat flour.
This party complained that the
substitutes were piling up in the
pantry and each time she purchased
more flour she must purchase more
substitute, which only added to the
pile of unused goods in the pantry.
Lets Get This Thing Straight
It's either economy on wheat
right now or do without it for several
months before the new crop wheat
can be milled. Mr.. Geo. P. Lichty
of the National Food Administration,
in charge of Retail Distribution in the
United States, in an address to the
grocers and their clerks at Central
High School last week stated the
case about as follows: At the time
the $3.50 rule was promulgated
(about Feb. | } there was on hand
in the United States about 24O,-
100000 bushels of wheat. Of this
amount it was imperative that 10O,-
100000 bushels bereserved for ship
ment to our allies, leaving 100000
600 to run us until the new crop is
ready for milling. Now, this country
had been using wheat at the rate of
100000 bushels a month, at
which rate the entire remaining
visible supplywould have been used
up by not later than May IS, leaving
us about four months absolutely
without wheat.
What Was to Be Done
Should we eat it all at once, or

What Was to Be Done

Should we eat it all at once, OF
should the supply be conserved?
Would you have preferred flour cards
or would you have agreed to the
present method had the choice been
yours? Please remember that it was
absolutely necessary that the public
be protected. In this country today,
with living costs as they are, please
remember that there are multitudes
Of people who figure not on what
they are going to choose to eat, but
ON GETTING SOMETHING TO
EAT.

Now About These Substitutes
This rule was made not to force
you to buy these substitutes to pile
up in your pantry, but to eat them in
place Of wheat. The idea is to use
corn bread in place Of wheat bread,
cooked hominy and rice instead of
wheat products, and all the other
procurable items instead of wheat
flour products. Because you cannot
get every item listed as a substitute
is no reason why you should not
cheerfully cooperate in conserving
wheat. In the southern gulf states
they are using sweet potato flour; in
Oklahoma and Kansas and sur
rounding states they are using fete-
rita flour, just exactly what should
be done, as it relieves the already
overloaded freight-carrying railroads.
There will be plenty Of flour substi-
tutes, and we may be lucky to get
them, let alone getting wheat flour
once in a while.
ButI Don't Like These Wheat
Substitutes, You Say
Neither are the fighters in the
trenches and frozen battlefields Of
Europe particularly pleased with the
job they are working at FOR US.
Every soldier and sailor of Great
Britain, France, Italy and Belgium is

to FEED THEM ALL. To do it we
