THEY HOOVERIZE In I
THE ARMY NOWADAYS
(By United Press. J

With the American Army In
France, Sept 16. (By Mail. - he
boys over there are not going to let
the folks back home excel in this
game Of Hooverizing.
The boys have been getting letters
from the folks in U. S. A. telling
about food saving. Some mothers and
fathers and sisters and brothers were
going without things they wanted,
that the fighters might have more.
To show its appreciation Of econ
omy back home, the army has begun
similar campaign to "save grub,
as they call it in the ranks.
The campaign is one of saving
without denial. Men cannot stand
the strain over here is they are denied
enough food. But they can save
without being stingy.
There are several ways OF going at
Saving grub" in the army.
One is to avoid over-helpings at the
camp kitchen or the mess. The cooks
in the army are good scouts and
proud Of their creations, and when
doughboy shoves UP his plate for
meal, the tendency is for the cook
to get enthusiastic and dish out more
than any normal man can eat. They
are much more careful about helpings
now than formerly, and if a mans
belt is not tight after his first plate
Of schow'' he may go back for more.
They're utilizing surplus fat in all
meats for cooking grease, instead OF
Just frying it away into smoke.
Crusts and dried bread will make
good material for various dishes
probably there'1l be more puddings
than usual in the army now. 1t won't
make the doughboys mad.
The American army has better
Chow than any other in the army
now, and the men in it realize that
they are under obligations to the rest
of the allies to economize on the food.

been intimately acquainted with Mr..
Nelson for years. He was greatly
moved when he learned Of the pass
ing of his friend and said:
"To me he was one OF the most low
able souls, of high character, abso-
lutely honest. absolutely just, and
absolutely fearless. AS mill super

citation with our company, first with
me at Bemidji, then with the mill at
Spooner, Mimi, from where he came
to Bend, has endeared him to all Of
us. tGs "A 49,

has lived as Knute lived. Such men
live forever in the work they have
done while here" .-...

Grocers have been notified not

etc., must be confined strictly to
basis of three pounds per per-

Sugar for canning and preserv.
ing may be obtained in 25-pound
lots on a written statement from

a card system of rationing the
country, the food administration
said.

The personal desires, comfort

employment will be placed in class
1, in spite of the fact that many
of them may have been placed in
