Belgian Relief

hCiSlhu ItCIICI
The Belgian relief committee, of
the Parent-Teacher association, have
not been quiet during the summer
even though we haven't been talking.
Besides all the garments we have
been instrumental in making for the
Red Cross here we have given them
a box of clothes, all new. to be ship
ped soon. The Crowley ladies de-
serve considerable credit for helping
to fill this box
Now we are asked to raise one or
two hundred dollars to help keep the
poor little children from starving.
DR.. Corwin says they need food now
more than clothing, so we are asking
everyone to help us raise this money
at once.
We know you will enjoy your own
dinner better If you have helped to
feed these little destitute children
who are looking to you for help.
Give your donation to any of the
committee at once, please.
Another thing, be sure to attend
the meeting of the Parent-Teacher
association the evening of October 4.
Hear our plans for helping the COM
ing year. and give us your ideas and
assistance.
We are very grateful to grandma
Henderson and Mrs. Mayfield and
Gound for the two quilts they SO
kindly made and gave us. Everyone
has been so generous and kind and
we know they will still continue, and
that none shall go cold or hungry il
we can prevent it.

SAVING STILL NEEDED IF
new FOOD PROGRAM
IS TO Be A SUCCESS

During the coming year. America
must ship to Europe 100000 tons OF
food stuffs."
With this announcement. Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator.
places on the American people a re-
sponsibility greater than any before.
The $3.50 substitute rulings have
been relaxed, the erstwhile ban upon
beef products has been lessened-and
yet Americans must send 100000
tons of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
every man, woman and child who 10
for Liberty against Tyranny, must
make his eating. and his buying as
sane and saving as possible, and keep
the consumption of vital food stuffs in
America down to the lowest point.
The relaxation of the stricter rules Is
not meant to lower the bars so that
boarding or excessive consumption Is
allowable. 1t is simply to relieve con-
sumers from rules which worked q
certain amount of hardship. but
which were absolutely necessary dur
ing the wheat crisis of few months
ago.
The food administration still re-
serves the right to commander any or
all flour consumers may have on hand
should the need arise-as 1t did in
the spring of 1917. 1t is hoped that
consumers will realize that out of the
great harvest this year, a reserve sup
ply of food must be built II future
short crops and decreased labor are to
be discounted and made harmless.
"The food administration will ex-
pect every patriotic American to hold
flour now purchased In trust, 20 to
speak, for uture use OF the govern
ment. and to keep that flour in such
q manner that 1t will not be damaged
or ruined" declared T. 3. Stearns,
food administrator for Colorado. in Z
recent statement.

Agricultural Notes

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. %. Numerous
inquiries have come to the office Of
DR.. Andrew M Soule, federal food
administrator for Georgia, on the
use of potatoes as an off-setting the
purchase Of flour, on the individual
purchaser.
The following rulings by the United
States Food Administration cover
the pointi in question:
The list of substitutes has been
made as wide as possible.
1t includes bran, shorts and mid
dlings, corn flour, cornmeal, edible
cornstarch, hominy, corn gnts bar
ley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice,
rice flour, buckwheat flour. potato
flour, sW eet potato flour, milk flour
and similar flours and meals, bean
meal, peanut meal, casava, taro anc
banana flours and other products or
similar nature. Bread made Of
graham flour or so-called whole
fwheat flour, complies with the wheat
substitute rule on account of the
high percentage Of wheat grains
utilized in milling. Potatoes may
be used as q wheat flour substitute
but four pounds of potatoes must be
used where one pound of other SUBJ
stitutes would be required, since
three-quarters of the potato is water.
It is expected that bakers will use
substitutes locally produced where
ever possible ip order to secure them
at the lowest price and with least
Transportation.
The proyisionsfor flour substitutes
in cases Of bakers substantially APP
| plies to the principal to be adhered
to by the individual, except as to
bran, shorts and middlings. The
range Of substitutes is 60 wide no
trouble at all should be experienced
by willing American Patriot in
supplying every possible food want
and IN doing so fully and abundantly
complying with the government re-
Equirements. Individual purchasers
as wellas bakers. may adhere to the
following clause of the substitute rule
Potatoes may be purchased as 9
wheat flour substitute bat foul
pounds of potstoes must be purchase
where one pound Of thersubstitutei
would be required, since three
quarters cf the potato is water.
