wearers of knitted articles in the bull
letin issued by the Southern Pacific
Company Bureau of News:
"All our mothers, wives, sisters,
sweethearts and many others who are
not but hope to be, are knitting
socks, scarfs, gloves, sweaters, in
khaki and in gray, for our army and
navy boys in camp and in the field.
So great is the need that knitting
now may be said to be the pational
feminine ayocation. Those who have
no loved ones to provide for person
ally give their articles to Red Cross,
National Defense clubs or other or
ganized home supporters of the
armed forces. Every one of these or
ganizations has many more calls for
these comforts (often more probably
than can possibly be filled; in fact,

supply for the benefit of especially
reedy cases, boys from the tropics or
from our southern states, for exam

bread and pastry dough with gen.

toes or potato flour for the victory

wives to do their share in this mat
ter. Experts pronounce the mashed
potato an entirely satisfactory sub
stitute, and from samples submitted

use of the mashed potatoes up to 10
per cent in no way detracts from the
taste, quality or appearance of the
loaf. In fact, it is my personal
opinion that the potato improves the

MANY REASONS FOR
SHORTAGE OF WHEAT

Millions of men have been taken
from wheat-raising and have gone
into the trenches. Fields have been
laid waste by the enemy. Food sup
ply ships have been sunk by subma-
rines. Crops in other countries have
been poor. These are some of the
reasons why there is a shortage of
wheat and why we are asked by Mr..
Hoover to conserve in our kitchens
and at our tables.
Four hundred million bushels of
wheat is a large amount, but we must
supply it. In one way or another we
must get it together here and send it
across the water to those associated
with us in this war. We cannot do

Oregon housewives can kill two

"The potato-grower needs encour-

wherever possible" says Federal
Food Administrator Aver and both
these purposes will be served if the

other food for part Of the wheat
we would ordinarily consume. That
Is why we are urged, as a patriotic
duty, to observe wheatless days
strictly, and on other days to use only
the minimum amount Of wheat foods,
wasting absolutely none. The aid of
every individual is needed. Are you

GRAZING PRIVILEGES
MUST NOT BE SOLD

District Forester George II. Cecil
announces that the secretary of agri-
culture'is notifying all holders of per-
riits for grazing livestock on the ma
tiCnal forests that the payment of
any bonus or allowance for waiver Of
the grazing privilege in connection
with sales of livestock or ranch prop
critics will be cause for revocation Of
the permit.
This is in accordance with one Of
the regulations governing the use of
the national forests for grazing privi-
leges, which provides that permits
will be granted only for the exclusive
Use and benefit of the owners of the
stock and will be forfeited if sold or
transferred in any manner or for any
consideration. To protect permittees
who may wish to dispose of their
property against the losses which sac
rifiCe sales would involve, it has been
customary to allow continued use of
the national forest ranges by the new
owner. Without some provision for
this, the Forest Service grazing Off
cials point out, holders Of permits
who wish to go out Of business would
not be able to obtain a fair value for
their property. But the procedure
has aimed throughout at such a safe
guarding of the situation as would
prevent the acquisition of anything
approaching vested rights in the pub
lie property by private individuals or
companies.
Owing to the great and ever-grow-
ing demand for use of the forest
ranges, which is now in most regions
far beyond their capacity, the graz
ing privilege is of large value. Upon
the national forests the government
applies a system Of regulated use de-
signed to encourage production, pro-
mote the upbuilding of the country
along healthy lines, and secure the
greatest good to the greatest number,
but makes only moderate charge
for the grazing permits.
In the view of those in charge of |
the national forest grazing business,
1t would be entirely unfair for the
public to forego a maximum return
for the value Of use of its property |
and then allow those granted the
of use to collect this value
from others, as the price of surren-
dering their privileges. Such a prac-
tice would, they say, make competi-
tive disposal by the government OF
the grazing the only logical course.
AS Secretary Houston says in warn
ing the range users that the payment
Of bonuses or the giving of any con-
si6eration to secure the filing of
waiver of the grazing privilege is
prohibited, such a payment would
be consideration for a privilege the
of which is wholly within
he discretion of the government and
'or which no one is entitled to re-
,eive compensation" Therefore any
'uch payment will be sufficient
,ause for the revocation of permit or
'orfeiture of all grazing preferences
ased upon the purchase of permitted
tock."

FRANCE PROTECTS
HER POOR FARMERS
LENDS MONEY TO THOSE WHOSE
Z FARMS WERE DEVASTATED
BY THE INVADING HUNS
AND SAVES HORSES
FROM THE ARMY.

France has come to the rescue of her
farmers. Every bit Of French soil must
be cultivated as never before. To
Increase production the French govern
ment is making great effort to help the
farmer, according to information sent
to United States Food Administrator
j. Il. Deems at Burlington, Iowa.
AS our own farm loan board is do
Ing, provision is being made there to
enable the farmers to get money and
equipment with which to cultivate
these abandoned lands of France. Ac-
cording to the present decree, prefer
ence is being given to farmers who
lived originally in the invaded regions.
70 such borrowers the amount may be
doubled. Loans may be renewed at
the end of the season, but each farm
er must report the results of his sea-
sons production.
The farmers of France are being
safeguarded in another respect, and
that is in the requisitioning of their
horses for army use. .Requisitioning
committees are instructed to take only
/. certain proportion of the animals of
each farmer and not to take these I'M
til after the harvest, unless it is alb
isolutely necessary. Not all the horses
are to be taken at once, and If farm
er has but one horse he is not to be
deprived of it.
