IN THE HOME

Do you bake straight wheat bread
in your home, or do you bake Victory
bread consisting of four pounds of
wheat flour and one pound of substi-
tutes? If the straight wheat loaf is
served in your home you are violating
solemn pledge made by U. S. Food
Administrator Hoover to the food con-
trollers of England, France and Italy
that we would eat the same kind of
bread they agreed to eat.
The allies enforce the 1920 rule by
law. We require bakers to observe
this regulation, but the householder
is put on honor. Mr.. Hoover has such
faith in the American housewife that
he promised the allies she would bake
Victory bread without being forced to
do it.
Americans are limited to 2 pounds
of sugar each a month in order that
the allies may have 11a pounds a
person month. Your sympathy
with the allied cause will determine
your attitude on the sugar restriction.

MILLING WHEAT is NOT
USED FOR STOCK FOOD

The food administration does not
permit the use of wheat for feeding
purposes except wheat which is unfit
for human consumption or wheat
which is not millable wheat. Such
unmillable wheat or wheat unfit for
human consumption can only be used
in mixed feed containing not more
than 1879 of such wheat.
The fact that other feeds are more
expensive than wheat is no justifica-
ton for use of wheat for feeding pur-
poses.
Wheat grading below No. 8, or
wheat not fit for milling purposes,
or wheat grown in small quantities
or remote from transportation, may
be released for feeding, by the coun-
ty food administrator on special per-
NIT. Sample of the grain must go
to the county administrator before a
permit is issued, and full details of
quantity and location must be given.
Farmers having their own wheat
ground at the mill must take substi-
tutes or show receipt where they
bought the substitutes, unless they
take graham or whole wheat, in which
case no substitutes are required.
Grinders must give the farmer back
everything he brings in flour, mill
feed and screenings.

WHO WILL SERVE.

On September 12 men from eigh- teen to forty-five years of age, will register in the cause of patriotism. According to present estimates ap- proximately twelve or thirteen mil lion men will be registered.
 Of this great number about one fourth will be called to the colors. The remainder will be classified and if not engaged in essential occupa- tions will be put to work winning the war, by work at home."
 The natural question in every ones mind is: Who will be the ones called for military duty?
 Every question connected with the next draft call is fully answered by President Wilson's proclamation.
 First those who are not physically fit will be excused; those exempted by alien allegiance (this class will be neghgible); those who should not be relieved of their present responsib- ilities; above all those who cannot be spared at home upon which the suc- cess of our armies depends as much as the fighting.
 In the next draft only men who can be spared without seriously him dering civil progress will be called. Heads of businesses of importance to the civil world, subordinates and per- sons who are of value in the running of these businesses will not be called in fact they will not be allowed to enter the service, if they so desired.
 It is a question of patriotism at home and abroad. Discrimination will be used. Local draft boards will not have the entire discrimination in the matter. They have instructions, set rules that cannot be misconstrued and if they are misconstrued, they will be set right. The president realizes that the war will be won lover here'' just as much as Cover there" and he and the government does not intend to allow persons in the army who will be of greater value to the war in g business and civil way than he woule bSfin carrying a rifle or "going ovel the top."
