EVERY DAY WILL BE WHEAT
LESS ON THE S. p.

No wheat or wheat products Of any
kind will be served on Southern Pa
cific dining cars during the period
of the war, it was announced yester-
day by Allan Pollok, Superintendent
of Dining Cars, Hotels and Restau-
rants for the Company.
This action follows the plea Of the
Food Administration for still further
Saving in wheat. Under Pollok's
direction, the Southern Pacific chefs
are attending special cooking schools
to learn the utmost use that can be
made of other cereals.
The Southern Pacific operators
more dining cars than any other rail-
road in the country. The exclusion
Of wheat from the six million meals
that are served annually is expected
to effect big saving.

, Your Share In The Third Liberty

How much should I subscribe to
the Liberty Loan? What is my
share?" These questions are being
asked daily and replied to in thou
sand different ways. The need of
some guide, some rule on the sub
ject has been felt by practically ev-
eryone. Mr.. Seward Prosser, pres
ident of the Bankers Trust Com
pany of New York, has endeavored
to supply the want, calling to his
assistance some Of the cleverest fl
nancial brains Of the country. He
puts forth approximate figures bas-
ed upon national statistics of I'M
doubted reliability.
Presenting that we must raise
fifteen billion dollars during the
next twelve months to conduct the
war, the following figures show how
we must do it. Customs exercise and
indirected taxation will yield
one and one half billion dollars.
Corporations assessed upon their
wealth. should provide by taxation
and subscriptions to government
loans, two and three quarteN bill
lions. The banks of the country
may well be asked to carry bonds
themselves and their customers to
the value of three and one half bill
lion dollar. This leaves balance of
seven and one quarter billions dollars
to be actually saved and handed ov-
err to the Government for war pur-
poses by the ordinary Individual
comprising the general public. whose
income ranges from eight hundred
to five million dollars yearly.
Since IS percent Of US earn less
than ten thousand dollars yearly,
the figures relating to this class,
interest us most. The actuerles and
experts who have worked upon the
problem have come to the conclu-
sion that a family with an income
Of two thousand dollars yearly. should

MANY STILL Love

Seem Not to Mind Having "Some-

PINK pAJAMAs FOR SHIRT
Mail Order Houses Find 1t Easy to

r. vas famous American Snowman
who declared that the American people
love to be humbugged. That saying Is
many years old now but sometimes II
seems that there is about as much
truth in it now as there was when II
was first uttered.
People as rule do not like the idea
of having something put over" on
them, but from the way in which the
great mail order houses in the Dig
cities flourish it seems that great
many people do not mind it a bit.
The business man who, when he gets
n call for an article which he has not
in stock, attempts to substitute some
other article of a similar nature With
out telling the buyer OF the substitu-
ton, is putting something over on
his customer. Few retail merchants
nowadays attempt to do thing OF that
kind. The great majority of merchants
do not do this for two reasons. one
reason is that they wouldn't DO 1t II
they could and the other is that they
couldn't do it if they would. The man
who buys an article over the counter
and sees what he is buying before ne
pays for it, is pretty sure to get what
he wants.
Ordered Shirt, Got Pajamas.
But there is another class OF mer-
chants, of which the same thing can
not be said. A man who has been close
" connected with some of the big mail
order houses is authority for the state
ment that the heads Of the various
merchandise departments Of many
mail order houses have standing orders
to substitute with the nearest thing
they have II the articles ordered are
not In stock and available for delivery.
It is related that in one Instance as a
result Of these instructions, man who
ordered dress shirt from q mail order
house received a pair Of pink pajamas
instead.
It is easy for the mail order house to
