HOOVER ASKS STATE
TO GIVE Her Wheat
TO ARMY and NAVY

Colorado has been called upon by
State Food Administrator Thomas b.
Stearns to tighten its belt and send
all of its excess wheat to American
soldiers and sailors.
This latest wheat order emanating
from Herbert Hoover asks that every
public concern and individual report
to the nearest county food admins
traitor any flour on hand in excess to
months supply before May 1. A
months supply is estimated on the
basis of six pounds q month for each
person.
In Colorado there are approximate
ly 100000 people and each one, un-
der the law, is allowed six pounds of
wheat month. This makes the
monthly consumption of wheat be-
tween now and the harvest amount TO
$4,000 900 pounds, 100000 that Col
orado can, if she will, send to the
fighting line of France.
I'VE are counting on the splendid
spirit OF Coloradoans to make 1t un-
necessary for the government thru
this Food Administration to comman-
deer the stored and boarded wheat,
Food Administrator Stearns declared
emphatically, but Americas fighters
must have wheat and Americas al
lies must be fed during these hours Of
their great need, and if Colorado
should disappoint us and refuse to re-
linquish her excess store willingly we
will have to take it from her"
The Food Administration is making
arrangements for storehouse in
which the flour will be cared for until
1t can be loaded onto cars and sent
direct to some designated point.
Farmers may turn over their supply
to the nearest mill and elevator and
definite points are being named by
county administrators at which indi-
viduals can turn over their wheat
supply.

TRY THIS.

The quick wit of a travelling sales
man who has since become well
known proprietor was severely tested
one day. He sent in his card by the
Office boy to the manager of large
concern, whose inner Office was sep
arated from the waiting room by a
ground glass partition. When the boy
handed his card to the manager the
salesman saw him impatiently tear
it in half and throw it in the waste
basket; the boy came out and told
the caller that he could not see the
chief The salesman told the boy to
go back and get him his card; the
boy brought out 5 cents, with the
message that his card was torn up.
Then the salesman took out another
card and sent the boy back again,
saying: "Tell your boss / sell two
cards for cents"
He got his interview and sold a
large bill of goods. - Pittsburgh

CONSUMPTION OF TUBER

Eat potatoes End serve your coun-

Bake them, boil them. cream them,

Remember that every potato eaten
by an American over here Will mean
that more wheat will be sent and

During Potato Week" the move
ment of potatoes was the heaviest
since the first of the year according

Food Administration by the U. S. Bu-
reau Of Markets, over $50 cars of po-
tatoes were rolled to market during
O. week of April 81 to 27-'Potato

less than $50 cars of marketable po-

COLORADO BEAN CROP
MUST BE INCREASED

Disheartening crop news from New
York and Michigan in regard to great
ly lowered acreage in pinto bean
planting has encouraged Colorado
bean growers to make an increased
effort to get a maximum acreage in
this state.
For the past three years. according
to the report, growers in these states
have been compelled to contend with
wet weather at harvest time which
greatly damaged their crops. In some
cases entire crops were lost

WHEAT SUBSTITUTE TABLE
IS USEFUL To HOUSEWIVES

In war time all the old reverenced
customs are cast overheard and new
strange practices instituted in their
places. Time was when a woman
would consider her housewifery i'm
peached if she used anything but the
best and finest wheat flour But that
tradition, with thousands of others,
has been shattered, and now real
tariff and loyalty to country makes
substitutes serve where only wheat
was once known
Out of some practice. skilled cooks
have compiled the following table for
women whose own experiment has not
told them what the proper proportion
OF substitute floUrs makes the best
mixture:

FAMINE FACES FRANCE!
SAVE WHEAT TO SEND
OVERSEAS TG ALLIES

1.-THE Allies are still hungry
and if you can spare little more
flour, for Gods sake send it, "
WIS the plea made recently by
British officer to an American
audience.
Who OF you, after hearing that
heart-breaking cry after realizing the
necessity which faces the brave ma
tions of Europe, can help saving
wheat?
Two definite appeals to US are
voiced there.
One is to patriotism. the other to
common sense.
The Allies cause is our cause. Our
men are fighting shoulder to shoul-
der with their men. II food fails, the
fighters must fail. The war must be
lost to Liberty. Even the most ignor-
ant among us knows what a German
victory would mean, especially TO the
women and children of the land. Our
love of country, our love of our
homes, our every instinct OF self
preservation must make us do every
thing, whether great or small toward
victory.
The other appeal is that of human
ity. Who can refuse to deny himself
because of his greediness, his love OF
his own food habits, when that
thought-the thought of the Allies
suffering-comes to us?
Can any one with either sense or
scnsibility keep on eating wheat pro-
ducts in the present need? Does 1t
not throw human weakness into an
ominous German shadow to insist up
on having food requiring white flour?
Won't you-all you -blooded
willing American citizens let that
British officers cry for the Allies
sound in your ears: III you can
spare little more flour, for Gods
sake send it?''

COLORADO BAKERS SEEK
FOR WHEATLESS FORMULA

Loyal bakers in Colorado have been
spending their leisure time OF late
plumbing the mysteries of absolutely
wheatless bread Wheat flour, in the
past, has always been used as the
binding ingredient in bread, and with
it eliminated, bakers have been hard
pressed to find an adequate substi-
tute.
Various excellent samples of wheat
less bread has been submitted TO w.
F. Pritts, head of the bakers division
of the Food Administration, and 1t is
expected that practical formula will
be discovered within very short
time.
The necessity for wheatless bread
faced the bakers OF the state when a
large number of its leading hotels
volunteered to refuse to serve wheat
products of any kind until after the
wheat harvest

Poultry Ban Lifted

The Gods of Chickens turned their
heads away when the United States
Food Administration changed its
mind and lifted the ban against the
killing of poultry week sooner than
had been contemplated.
According to the ruling made in
mid-winter, freshly killed hens could
not be sold between February % and
April 30. The amended ruling made
the sale of hens and young poultry
legal from midnight OF April 10. t.
Weather conditions which brought
about an early laying and Matching
period are given as the reason for tho
change in ruling.
In lifting the restrictions, the Food
Administration appeals to the farmers
not to begin rushing their hens to
market but to send them gradually
and thus prevent flooding the market
which will result in heavy spoiiage.

STATE BEAN GROWERS
TO INCREASE ACREAGE

Reassured by the rapidly increas-

Division of the Colorado Food Admin

pintos have come into high favor and
that housewives are demanding Colo

light syrup or honey, four eggs, pinch
of salt, two ounces baking powder,
one and n half pounds cornmeal and
one and half pounds rye -four. The
butter and syrup should be thoroughly

SUNSHINE CURE

The saving in electric light, in the
daylight saving plan, is obvious and
impressive. The possibility Of gain
ing great increase in. health is not
so obvious, and there is a chance of
its being missed altogether. We have
great need OF storing up good supply
OF health-of red blood and resistance
this summer. They will be needed
during the coming winter quite as
much as a cellar full of vegeta bles
and binful of grain.
At present about one-seventh of the
Wisconsin physicians are in uniform.
Nurses have left and are leaving daily.
Whereas the soldiers represent the
people who ordinarily do not require
physician, those remaining at home
represent the aged and the sickly, who
naturally need frequent medical at
tention. Those physicians available
for civil needs will be so busy and
SO much overworked that it should be
part OF our thrift to avoid preventable
illness.
AS nation, we have enjoyed too
little physical play. Utter absence of
bodily exercise has been one cause of
ills such as nervousness, insomnia, or
constipation, which beset most of us.
With an extra hour of sunlight at our
disposal, we should be impelled to
spend that much time out-of-doors in
base ball, swimming, war gardening,
or at least, in breathing the free air"
Now that the maintenance of physi-
cal vigor has become a patriotic duty
IN the interest of national conserva-
ton and national efficiency, let us re-
gard this extra hour of sunlight as
one which is pledged to health.
