wheat products per person. This
means not more than TX pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and One-half
pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry. pies, cakes, wheat

2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to

forming with the limitations requested
of the householders.
8. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of a barrel
to 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.
A. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume Of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the three-Quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in other weights We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount Of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 20 per

BY M. QUAD.
When Mr.. Bowser came up to din
ner the other evening there was a let
ter awaiting him which had come in
the afternoon mail. It was a letter
from a postmaster up the state. He
opened 1t, and expressed a great satis-
faction. He had no particulars to give
out, and Mrs. Bowser had learned to
repress her curiosity.
Half an hour after they had gone
upstairs Mr.. Bowser began pacing
the floor. as he always does when he
has got little scheme on hand. By
and by he suddenly made up his
mind to unbosom himself, and he sat
down and drew the letter from his
pocket and said:

II hope 1t won't be as bad as that,

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people sympathetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uatIon and to render assistance. said
David F. Houston. secretary Of agri-
culture, in recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
In the field Of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting. cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers In the necessary un-
dertaking Of maintaining and. II possi-
BILE, supplementing. the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
II 1t appears that the farmers Of a
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see II they cannot assist In
solving the problem. The department
Of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid. but ench community
knows its own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-04-25
Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be Of
immediate service in the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking,
sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks. especially in preparing the
large amount of food needed for har-
vesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks In ofilce, store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to go out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsuited to WON
ems physical strength.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-04-25
Men and Boys Firstl

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies. This
work calls for Drawn. muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think of women
at heavy work In the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store, office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
viding the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.
Help your employees to get out to the
farms at harvest and other critical
seasons.
