CONSERVATION TO
Be INTENSIFIED
Food Administration Outlines
Policy to Meet Desperate
Food Situation.

Ralefgh.-In the face of a food sit
nation much more critical than it
had been thought could possibly come
about, the United States Food Admin
istration has issued the following new
conservation message, copy of which
was wired to State Food Administra-
tor Henry A. Page The statement
follows:
If we are to furnish the Allies with
the necessary proportion of wheat to
maintain their war bread from now
until the next harvest-and this is a
military necessity-we must reduce
our monthly consumption to 21 mil
lion bushels a month, as against our
normal consumption of about AZ mil
lion bushels, or 80 per cent of our
normal consumption. Reserving a
margin for distribution to the army
and for special cases this leaves for
general consumption approximately
one and One-half pounds Of wheat
products weekly per person.
Many OF our consumers areldepend-
ent upon bakers bread. Such bread
must be durable and therefore re-
Quires a larger proportion of wheat
products tran cereal bread as baked
In the household. Our Army and Navy
require full allowance. The well-to-
do in our population can make greater
sacrifices in the consumption of wheat

Third. Retailers to sell not more
than one-eighth of q barrel OF -four to
any town customer at any one time
and not more than one-Quarter Of a
barrel 10 any country customer at any
one time and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
weight of other cereals.
Fourth We ask the bakers and
grocers to reduce the volume of vic
tory bread sold by delivery of the
three-quarters pound loaf where one
pound was sold BEFORE and cores
ponding proportions in other weights.
We also ask bakers not to increase
the amount of their wheat flour .pur-
chases beyond 70 per cent of the aver
age monthly AMOUNT purchased in the
four months prior to March 1st.
Fifth. Manufacturers using wheat
products for non-food purposes should
cease such uses entirely.
Sixth There is no limit upon the
use of other cereal flours and meals
corn, barley, buckwheat, potato -four,
etc.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes end are
doing so in perfect health and salts
faction.
There is no reason why all Of the
American people who are able to cook
in their own households cannot sub
sist perfectly well with the use of less
wheat products than one and a half
pounds a week, and we especially ask
the well-to-do households in the coun-
try to follow this additional program
in order that we may provide the nee
essary marginal supplies for those
parts Of the community less able to
adapt themselves to so large a pro-
portion Of substitutes.
In order that we shah be able to
make. the. wheat exports that are alb

sDlutely demanded Of us to m9iptain
the civil population and soldiers OF
the Allies and our own Army, we pro-
nose to supplement the voluntary CO.
operatfon of the public by a further
limitation of distribution which win
het adjusted from time to time to Sc
cure as nearly equitable distribution
as possible. Withothe arrival OF had
vest we should be able to relax such
restrictions. Until then we ask for
the necessary patience, sacrifice and
cooperation of the distributing trades.

THESE NEW SPRING DRESSES

Authoritative advice from those
H'high up" in Fashion predict strong
vogue for dresses this season and if
those still to come are anywhere
near as becoming as these, we know
the reason why. No woman who
sees these, but will fall in love with
them at first sight. There is such
diversity of pretty styles that choos-
ing becomes a pleasure. We can't
describe them -hardly-there are SO,
many, each model possesses its own
distince features, yet each blends. so
happily to the current styles. So the

products than can the poor. In addf-
tion, our population In the agricultural
districts, where the other cereals are
abundant, are more skilled in the prep
aration Of breads from these other
cereals than the crowded city and In
dustrial populations.
With improved transportation we
now have available a surplus of pota-
toes. We also have in the spring
months a surplus Of milk and we have
ample corn and oats for human con-
sumption. The drain on rye and bar
ley as substitutes has already greatly
exhausted the supply of these grains.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the vol
untary assistance Of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
First. HousehoIders to use not to
exceed a total of one and one-half
pounds per week of wheat products
per person. This means not more than
one and three-fourths pounds Of vic
tory bread containing the required
percentage Of substitutes" and about
one-hah pound-of~ cooking flour, mac
aroni, Crackers, pastry, pies, cakes,
wheat breakfast cereals, all combined.
Second. Public eating places and
clubs to observe two Wheatless days
per week-Monday and Wednesday,
as at present; in addition thereto not
to serve in the aggregate a total Of
naOro hroo cfUffr \Tno ropi oroo oIyoro
pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast
cereals, containing a total of more
than two onnces of wheat flour to any
one guest at any one meal; no wheat
products to be served unless specially
ordered; public eating establishments
not to buy more than six pounds of
wheat products per month per guest,
thus conforming with limitations re-
1uested of the householders.

at is when the count is two or three balls and
strikes against the pitcher that his work becomes
dangerous. Then he must put the ball the
plate, and the disaster that follows is commonly
known extra base hit.
Externally the game is to make the batter hit
at the ball you want him to strike at rather than
let him get the kind Of ball he wants to hit.
That is the main thing Aside from that the
knowledge you gain of the strong and weak points
of the different baters the opposition teams is
a great help. Lefthand hitters rule do not
hit southpaws easily, but it is important to
know whether a right-hand hitter against south

Contest Is Tie for Six Innings
Ends With Home
By Louis Lee Arms

MARLIN, Tex, March 20.-Wilbert
Nottingham Hubbell, better known as
"Bubbles," of Buhl, Idaho, knocked
himself into bit of transitory glory
this afternoon at Emerson Field when
he clouted a home run off Mike Hogan
when the bases were what for want of
better term is often referred to as
inebriated.
Wilbert Nottingham wallop offers
subtle opportunities for honest, jour-
neyman copy readers who write the
self-starting headlines for our metro
politan prints. For instance, "Hub-
BELLS Hilarious Homer Humbles Ho-
gan" is both appealing and allitrative.
Perhaps "Wilbert WhifIingham's WAL
lop Wins" would be as effective. The
thing is pregnant with possibilities.
and we doubt not that the said honest
journcyman copy readers will take full
advantage of it.
Gibson's Team Wins
The score this afternoon was 6 to 2
in favor of the team that George Glib
son captains. George explained before
the game that yesterdays defeat was
all mistake, and advised the popuace
to wager .hcir nickels on his team this
afternoon. Sure enough, he was right

Mike, who is machinist at Cohoes

in the art of umpiring bases he had
small time to give to such incidental
details as playing second base and bat
ting. Schelner and O'Neill failed to do
for their country, and it
looked as though Mike might never re-
turn to that steel lathe when Wilbcrt
Nottingham Hubbcll waddled TO the
plate.
Wllbert is built on the plan os Madi-

spreadlng-and since pitchers are not
supposed to hit there was little alarm

Wllbert is gentleman always to be
reckoned with, as his fullback record at
