RETURN SURPLUS FLOUR
BY 18TH OF MARCH

In order that all persons NAV be
placed on an equal basis. and that
flour supplies may be more evenly di-
Nided, Charles IIebberd, food admin
istrator for Washington, is calling ON
ali persons having in their possession
more than a 30-day supply of flour
to return it to their merchant by
March 25.
This situation arises from the fact
that it has been the custom for many
persons to purchase enough flour in
the fall to do them for a year, and
the stock they now have on hand
came to them in a perfectly proper
manner However, the administra-
tor hopes they will return the flour.
which is not necessary for their i'm
mediate needs. Such returns will
add considerable to the general sup
ply in the channels of trade.
SO far as possible citizens are
asked to return the flour to the mer-
chant from whom it was purchased.
Where this is not practical the food
administration in the county is asked
to assist any who wish to return their
surplus.

CHICKENS AND RABBITS

That from 100 to $50 of the stu
dents of the Pullman grade schools
are already raising chickens or rab-
bits and that at least as many more
are anxious to engage in the industry
but lack the funds to make a start,
was the report made to the chamber
OF commerce by David Guthrie on be-
half of the committee of high schools
boys to whom was assigned the task
OF taking the rabbit and chicken CEN
sus of the grade school pupils. the
census is part of the campaign
launched by the chamber OF COM
merce for greatly increased chicken
and rabbit production as war meas
ure, and It is probable that means
for financing the pupils who are de-
slrous of engaging In this backyard
industry will be be found.

LOCAL BASKET TOSSERS
ARE COUNTY CHAMPS
Pullman High School Defeats Endi-
colt High in Post-Season Game
for County Honors

Pullman high school annexed the
county basket ball cham pionship
last Friday evening when they de-
feated Endicott high school, contend
ers for the honor, in a post-season
game played on the St John floor,
by a score of A to "a. The game
was fast from start to finish, with
many exciting moments, but entirely
free from roughness. Pullman
showed distinct superiority at every
stage of the game and the final re-
suit was never seriously in doubt.
Dressler was the bright and shining
star for Pullman, annexing nine bas-
kets and playing brilliantly through
out the contest. Douglas and Nash
were also well up in the scoring de-
partm of the game, while Dixon
and Grow, through careful guarding,
helped their teammates pile up the
score and kept Endicott from getting
close enough to the basket to score.
Both teams accepted the point
penalty for fouls over the maximum
of four rather than send in substi-
tutes for the offending player, Pull
man gaining six points by this means
and Endicott four
OF the two games previously
played between Endicott and Pull
man each team had won a victory,
leaving the county championship in
doubt, with the two contending
teams on even terms. The post-sea-
son game was arranged to settle the
question of championship and was
played on a neutral floor so that
neither team could claim an adyant-
age on that score.

Be assured that these sensational

the facts to prove that they are. Lis

The percentage of yenereal disease
in this army of yours is three-tenths
Of one per cent-the smallest per-
centage on record for any army, or
any civilian population, in the
worlds history 1t is sober lrmy,
and well-beh&yed one The statis-
tics in the possession of the Judge adj
vocate generals department prove
that there have been, in proportion.
fewer cases Of drunkenness, fewer
breaches Of military discipline among
its members than has been the case
with any army whose records have
been preserved.
Now, to take specific instance.
\ certain self-constituted board of
morals is quoted in a dispatch from
the United States to the effect that
1O46 men from the northeastern
states were locked up in the guard
house following their first pay day
for drunkenness.
That is the story; here are the
facts:
Since the troops referred to as
coming from the northeastern
states came to France, the total
number of their men locked up in the
guardhouse for all offenses-not for
drunkenness alone, mind you-has
been exactly 1874 to date. In other
words, the self-constituted champions
of sobriety generously multiplied by
eight the number Of men imprisoned
for all DEMONSTRATING as it does
those punished for infractions of
rules, INSTRUMENTATION and the like
and passed the enlarged figures on
to you as representing the number
of men locked up for drunkenness
alone! No wonder you were scared
as they probably intended you
should be.
Just to refute them again, here is
quotation from the report of a
protestant chaplain on active service
with these same maligned troops
from the northeastern states
Bear in mind, too, that this particu-
lar chaplain has been in the army but
a short time, and therefore brings a
fresh and impartial judgment to bear
on the problems. This is what he
says:
In performing my priestly func-
tons it has been my privilege to
travel considerably among the troops
and it pleases me immensely to be
able to state that | find moral con
ditions most satisfactory The mill
itary authorities are vigilant in re-
moving temptation. We have a clean
army; and l am honestly convinced
that the men in France are in less
danger morally than they would be
in service in their own country"
The men in France are in less
danger morally than they would be
in service in their own country"
That last clause is worth repetition.
Ponder on that, dear people, at home.

slandered troops declare that, out of
thousands of men admitted to the
only three have con-

MISS CRAIG BRINGS
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Tells Why 1t Is vitality Important
for the People of This County to
Conserve Cereals and Fats

That the United States is at the
present time 100000 bushels
short OF supplying the wheat prom
ised to the allies and that this de-
flcit must be made up by April 20
was the message brought to the
women of Pullman yesterday by Miss
Agnes Craig, director of home eco
Monies for the state of WASHINGTON
for the food administration and head
OF the college of home economics at
the State College. Miss Craig has
Just returned from WASHINGTON.
ID. C., where she attended a national
conference of home economics direct
ors' and her message to the people of
Pullman came direct from Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator,
with whom Miss Craig had several
conferences She spoke before the
meeting of the Women's Union for
Community Conservation, and the
chamber of commerce rooms were
packed with listeners.
AT the present time the United
States is short 100000 bushels
of supplying the wheat promised our
allies and this deficit must be made
up by April 90" said Miss Craig. 1T
will require the strictest conserva-
ton on the part of our people and
the imm ediate release of any surplus
wheat products in their possession.
Tis Is the reason for the request to
the people for the return to the re-
tailers and wholesalers of any sur
plus flour which may be in their
possession.
The cereal foods and fats are not
a necessity in a country which has
plenty of other varieties of food, but
are absolutely necessary In a country
which is short of all other kinds of
sustenance. That is why we must
supply England and France with
these particular articles of food.
The United States today is short
six per cent of the normal require
ments of fats and 10 per cent of cal
orie producing foods. At the end of
February England was 80 per cent
below the normal requirements of
cereal foods"
Miss Craig denounced as absolute
ly false the statement that the ma
tional food administration was vast
ing money, stating that to her own
knowledge many of the claims of ex-
travagance and useless expenditure
have no foundation in fact. She
called attention to the urgency of
the demand for the strictest con-
servation of wheat foods and fats and
urged every housewife to heed the
requests Of the food administration
to the letter.
The program was opened by flag
salute and two patriotic songs by
the school children of the Seventh
and Eighth grades
Mrs. Albert Cammack, vice chair
man of the Pullman Red Cross, gave
an interesting report on Red Cross
work.

PULLMAN SECURES
TRACTOR DISPLAY
Power Farming Demonstration To Re
Held Here-Probably During
Last Week In May

The Northwests power farming
demonstration will this year be held
IN Pullman, 10 of the leading tractor
manufacturing concerns having al
ready given their guarantee of CO.
operation and assurance that they
Will have representatives in Pullman
TO demonstrate their tractors under
typical Northwestern farming candi-
tons Prof. George Severance. head
OF the committee from the chamber
OIL commerce, to which the question
OF holding the power farming dem
onstration was referred, reports that
most of the tractor manufacturing
concerns with which he has come In
touch have promised their most
hearty support, and that the success
OF the undertaking, from the stand
point of variety of tractors for
demonstration purposes, Is already
assured.
The demonstration, according to
the plans already mapped out by the
committee, will cover a period OF
from three days to a full week, and
will be held either the last week in
May or early In June, the exact date
not having yet been set. To the
state College has been assigned the
task Of cacurino n troo4 oe i,.a -.
tco far from Pullman, of from 200
to AGO acres, which presents all the
means and extremes of Inland EN-
pre- farm topography. The college
also will secure the necessary plows,
diS's, bitches. drills, feed cutters and
other equipment required to demon
strate just what each tractor can don
A guarantee will be given to the
farmer whose acreage is used for the
demonstration that a thorough lob
OF cultivation will be done on the
entire tract.
Efforts will be made to have the
agricultural agents Of the various
counties of the state arrange their
annual farmer excursions to the col
lege so that they will be here for the
demonstration. Through this means
1t IS expected that representative
farmers from every part of the state
will be brought to Pullman to see at
first hand the work of the various
types of tractors, placing each In a
position to ascertain just what type
Of tractor is best adapted to his own
farming conditions. The
demonstration is also expected to at
tract farmers from all parts of the
including Montana and
Canada
The problem of handling the big
crowd and providing food accommo-
dations will be taken in hand by the
chamber of commerce, which organi-
cation will probably grant restaurant
concessions to reliable parties.
All tractor manufacturing con-
eerns will be invited to send tractors
for the dem onstration and 1t Is
thought that many more than the 10
tlready assured will take advantage
Of rhe opportunity to demonstrate
their particular farm labor savers
before the representative crowd of
farmers. The demonstration will
have a dual purpose, to show what
he tractors can not do as we'll as
what they can do. They are all valu-
able machines, each one fitted to do
'irst class work under certain condi-
ions. The demonstration will en-
ible each farmer to select the ma
,hine best fitted to the work
which he requires and to the topog-
Apply of his land.

TO THE FOLKS BACK HOME

10 the Fathers and Mothers, Sisters
and Brothers, Wives, Sweet
hearts, and Friends of the Men
in the American Expeditionary
Forces:
We hear that you have been re-
called with some alarming stories
about us of the A. L. f. and our
comfort here in France. In fact,
some of those stories have been re-
layed to us, and if they weren't so
far from the truth we might be in
cllned to get really mad. But know
ing the authors of some of them-for
some of the hysterical stripe have
really been over here-our first in
clination is to laugh.
But, after all, it's no laughing mat
ter to be talked about behind our
backs in such a reckless and ire
sponsible way by reckless and ire
sponsible people, though no doubt
some of them have the best inten-
tons in the world and think that
they, and they alone, can save US
CThey probably told you that, and
asked you to contribute money to
their worthy cause, haven't they?)
What hurts most, however, is the
thought that, though we know you
are loyal to us and have the firmest
of faith in us, perhaps their dire
tales may have caused you anxiety,
may even have brought you to be-
lieve that perhaps, after all, we had
become a bit neglectful of our trust;
