equal amount In value Of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat nour.
This In q mistaken idea The ruling
states that the consumer In purchasing
-four shall buy at the same time an
equal weight Of other cerealS"
One exception to this ruling b con-
corning graham hour and whole wheat
-four. which may be sold at the ratio
OF three pounds to i've pounds Of
wheat nour. This provision II made
because approximately Is per cent
more Of the wheat berry n used In the
manufacture of these nours than stand
ard wheat hour.
Another exception II that concern
Ing mixed nours containing less than
80 per cent Of wheat -four. which may
be sold without substitutes. Retailers,
however. are forbidden TO sell mixed
nours containing more than 90 per
cent. of wheat nour to any person un-
less the amount Of wheat -four substi-
tutes sold II sufficient to make the to-
tai amount Of substitutes, including
those mixed In nours. equal to the to-
tai amount In wheat -four In the mixed
-four. For instance, IL any mixed nour
IL purchased containing 90 per cent
wheat flour and 40 per cent substi-
tutes IL Is necessary that an additional
20 per cent. Of substitutes be pur'
chased. This brings II to the basis of
one pound Of substitutes for each
pound of wheat -four.
A special exemption may be granted
upon application In the case OF special
" prepared infants and invalids' food
containing -four where the necessity u
shown.
Some misunderstanding seems to e1-
list on the part Of consumers l. assum-
ing that with the purchase OF wheat
| -four one must conhne the additional
80 per cent. purchase TO one OF the
substitutes. This Is not the case. One
may select from the entire range OF
substitutes a sufficient amount OF each
TO bring the total weight Of all suosti.
tutes equal to the weight OF the wheat
-four purchased. For instance, II q
purchase of "a pounds of wheat -four
Is made q range OF substitutes may b
: selected as follows:
Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits,
pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat,
!. pounds; corn starch, pound; hominy
2 pounds; rolled oats, 8 pounds.
These substitutes may be used II
the following manner:
Cornmeal. 8 Pounds.-Corn bread, N
-four; corn mullins or spoon bread
one-fourth -four or one-third rice o
one third hominy; 20 per cent. substt

PROGRAM.
POST CARDS IN STORES.
Explain New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands of Cuatomers-In-
Sures Greater Food Saving.

Grocers OF the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the $3.50 basis for the
purchase of wheat -four and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu.
lation TO the housewife. This ruling by
the U. s. Food Administration requires
each purchaser OF wheat -four to buy
one pound OF cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat flour. 1t was necessary TO re-
strict the use of wheat flour In order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured OF an ade-
Quate supply of wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for
warded by the Food Administration to
all retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted in stores
throughout the country. This card
states, I'VE pledge ourselves Loyalty to
carry out the Food Administration pro-
gram. In accordance with this order
we will not sell any wheat -four except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight OF one or more OF the following,
greater use OF which in the home
| will save wheat:
"Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn
starch, hOmlny, corn grits, barley -four
| potato flour, sweet potato -four. soy
bean -four, feterita -four and meals

LAST CALL
FOR THE BONDS

This is a war not merely OF guns
and bullets, but it is a struggle of ma
tional sentiment. We have TO be very
careful that a front OF united feeling
is presented to our foes. There can
be no hope of ending the war so long
as Germany believes our people are
not unitedly behind it.
The subscription of the Liberty
Loan is the most accurate register Of
public sentiment. Germany does not
care how our people talk. She wants
TO know what they will do. II they
won't dig down into their pockets for
money, she will feel that the war does
not have general sanction, and that
we will make peace the first time an
easy way out is offered. That will
encourage her 10 keep on and on and
kill more and more OF our boys.
There is a tendency among some
people to wait until the last moment
thinking perhaps their help will not
De needed. That is taking chances
1t is not possible to get too much mon
ey. II double the amount asked fol
could be obtained, the significance Of
! the thing would not be lost on Berlin
II would show them that we NEAR
business. When they get it thorough
ly in their heads that we mean bust
ness. there will be some change il
their attitude. Probably not a suffi
cient change to justify ending the wa
but they will have begun to see thr,
the mists of illusion. Then there will
be some hope that they will abandon
their maniac desire to dominate tn
world
Wherefore let us go the limit t
help put over the loan, and to max
a big oyer-subscription. The indiyiC
ual man may say that his little sui
scription amounts to nothing. Yet
everyone takes that view, the loa
will be failure and the worlds fir

BUILDING 10000
AlRPLANES

Here is the airplane situation as II
developed at a recent conference of
technical men. What Is needed Is a
fighting plane in tremendous num-
bers. The way to get great numbers
OF anything Is by machine work, turn
ing out great quantities of standard
lied parts. The European machines
are made with a great deal of hand
labor, This produces splendid
quality OF work, but 1t is a slow way
of getting 1t done.
In this country We have plenty of
skilled mechanics that could be train
ed to make them. But we have taken
hundreds of thousands of that class
of help for munition factories and
ship work. Could we find enough
of them to turn out airplane parts by
hand as you would nails?
So our airplane makers went ahead
on the theory that the parts must all
be standardized so they could be
turned out by machine in vast guam
titles. The delay is due to the fac
that this Standardization has taker
longer than we expected. II does moi
prove that the idea was wrong.
IL is generally conceded that the
men in charge did not realize the big
ness of the job, which has taken fai
too long. There needs to be a mar
at the head OF the size of Mr.. Schwab
who is to direct the shipbuilding.
1t would have been better had thl!
situation been frankly explained t
the public. The delay in building the
planes has seemed interminable. Tn,
crepe hangers have said we woult
never wake up and get into the war.
While production has been bitterl.
disappointing, yet II Is not fair I,
assume that It is n failure and tina
our hopes Of prepondering air fore
are going to be disappointed. TIL
eagerness with which the kaiser I
trying to end the war before our fore
os get there, suggests that he know
what is going on.
