VICTORY BREAD IS THE LATEST DEMAND FOOD ADMINISTRATION ISSUES A NEW ORDER TO HOUSEWIVES AND DEALERS IN CONSERVATION CAMPAIGN ONE MEATLESS DAY AND ONE MEATLESS MEAL EACH DAY ALSO TO BE OBSERVED Housewives and dealers in food-stuffs will have to studiously read the newspapers in order to keep pace with the government in its efforts to conserve food in America and thus afford a surplus for the needs of our allies in the war. In conformity with a proclamation by the president Food Administrator Hoover on Saturday issued the following statement, making changes in the rules heretofore imposed. This new ruling went into effect Monday of this week and is now in force. Mr. Hoover says: The effectiveness of these rules is dependent solely upon the good will of, and the willingness to sacrifice by the American people and in the last analysis the success or failure of any such plan as here outlined rests with the people. We are dependent upon the cooperation of the grades. We have but one police force—the American woman—and we depend upon her to organize in cooperation with our state and local food administration while flour and represents from two to four per cent higher extraction than from last year's harvest. 6—To assist further in conservation, Mon yadandWednesday k BdpsaO,C$ Monday and Wednesday of each week are to be observed as wheatless days and one meal of each day as a wheatless meal. This applies both in the home and in the public eating places, and on such days and meals no crackers, pastries, macaroni, breakfast food, or other cereals containing wheat should be used. The only exception to this is such small amounts of flour as may be needed for thickening soups or gravies, or as a binder in corn bread or other cereal breads. 7—On wheatless days, and at wheatless meals, the food administration urges that bread baked in the home be other than wheat bread. Where bread is purchased either for use in public eating places or in the home, Victory bread should be used, if no wheat substitute can be found. The Federal food administrator in each state will announce the meal to be observed as a wheatless meal in his state. If no meal is designated, the United States food administration prefers that the evening meal be wheatless. 8—It is further desired, in order that meat and pork products be conserved, that one meatless day (Tuesday) in every week, and one meatless meal in every day be observed, and, in addition two porkless days, (Tuesday and Saturday) in every week be strictly kept. By meatless is meant without hog, cattle or sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in preference to beef or pork. By porkless is meant without pork, bacon, ham, lard, or pork products, fresh or preserved. Use fish, poultry and eggs. 9—For local situations, where exceptions are necessary, application ready to serve and dwell on image and likeness; the order establish world should be prepared; no authority comes from above.

A story ever told The tale told at caught the attention living head of The effectiveness of these rules is dependent solely upon the good will of, and the willingness to sacrifice by the American people and in the last analysis the success or failure of any such plan as here outlined rests with the people. We are dependent upon the cooperation of the grades. We have but one police force—the American woman—and we depend upon her to organize in cooperation with our state and local food administration to seg that these rules are obeyed by that small minority who may fail. Part of the rules will be enforced under the Lever food act; other parts are voluntary and will depend for their success upon the vast majority of consumers and a full cooperation of the trades to undergo the self-sacrifice necessary to render such measures effective. The small minority who refuse to cooperate should not be allowed to defeat the nation's necessities. 1—As their part in reducing the consumption of wheat flour the consumers of the country are called upon in purchasing such flour, to buy at the same time an equal weight of the other cereals (corn meal, corn starch, corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, buckwheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy bean flour and feterita flours, and meals.) A housewife may use these products separately in making bread, cakes and pastry, or mix them as she thinks best. The realers are to sell wheat flour only with an equal weight of these other cereals. 2—Consumers will be able to obtain mixed cereals bread from their bakers, who will be required under the license regulations to mix five per cent of other cereals with their wheat flour, both in bread and rolls, and will be required gradually to increase this substitution until, beginning February 24, a minimum of 20 per cent of such cereals is to be used. The food administration strongly urges on consumers the buying of this bread, which will be known as Victory Bread, and will contain not less than 20 per cent of cereals other than wheat. Graham, or whole wheat bread, will also be given that name because, containing as they do 25 per cent more of the wheat grain than ordinary white bread, they too, will serve the purpose of saving white flour. “If you bake bread at home use wheat substitutes; if you buy it, buy only Victory Bread. 3—Manufacturers of macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers, breakfast every week, and one meatless meal in every day be observed, and, in addition two porkless days, (Tuesday and Saturday) in every week be strictly kept. By meatless is meant without hog, cattle or sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in preference to beef or pork. By porkless is meant without pork, bacon, ham, lard, or pork products, fresh or preserved. Use fish, poultry and eggs. 9—For local situations, where exceptions are necessary, application should be made to the state food administrators. GET READY TO DIG UP Compulsory purchase of Liberty bonds is in sight. Instead of the non-sensical hurrah and tremendous effort on the part of public spirited and patriotic citizens urging other citizens to lend their money to the government, a bill has been introduced in congress providing for compulsory purchase of bonds by property owners, with the alternative of a pro rata tax on all property. Congress has the unquestioned right to do just that thing. Article 1, section 2, paragraph 3 of the constitution of the United States says: “Representation and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states,” etc., and while we do not know that it has ever been done, the power is lodged in the government to levy such a tax, thus compelling every property owner to bear just his share of the burden. Possibly the introduction of the measure is merely as a warning, and its effect may be to persuade people to subscribe more readily for bonds and without so much urging. But the present method is an imposition upon those who are patriotic and willing to be imposed upon. It is out of all proportion that one element of the community should not only be willing to subscribe for bonds, but give valuable time in persuading other folks that they also should buy bonds. Let the tax come.—San Bernardino Sun. THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING The English have not been considered a saving nation, and one of the most notable examples of the effect of patriotism on a whole people was the fact that during the year 1916, although purchasing billions of dollars was the small savings banks sense of hearth of his ideals and his satisfaction to kin, wealth and health and strength tions of the future determination, sus privation, hardship so that the principle might live.

Graham, or whole wheat bread, will also be given that name because, containing as they do 25 per cent more of the wheat grain than ordinary white bread, they too, will serve the purpose of saving white flour. "If you bake bread at home use wheat substitutes; if you buy it, buy only Victory Bread. 3—Manufacturers of macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers, breakfast foods, pie, cake and pastry are not to purchase to exceed 70 per cent of the wheat flour used during the corresponding months of 1917. These manufacturers will be performing a patriotic duty by using cereals other than wheat in their productions. 4—Wholesalers will be required, under license regulations, not to buy more than 70 per cent of their purchases of flour from millers as based on their purchases for the corresponding months of the preceding years and their sales to the retail trade must be in the proportion of one pound of wheat flour to one pound of other cereals, this being the same proportion in which the retailer sells to the consumer unless the wholesaler satisfies himself that the substitutes have already been purchased from another source. A ruling has been made that in making any combination sales under this program, dealers shall name a price for each of the articles so sold which shall not represent more than a normal "pre-war" profit on anyone of the articles sold. 5—Millers of flour are to distribute their output through their customary channels and make this In such a manner that each city, town and district may receive its usual proportions. The wheat millers have been required to produce one barrel of flour (196 lbs.) from 264 pounds of wheat. This is a THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING The English have not been considered a saving nation, and one of the most notable examples of the effect of patriotism on a whole people was the fact that during the year 1916, although purchasing billions of dollars of war bonds, the small savings banks depositors in England increased their deposits over $60,000,000. The patriotic appeal to the American people for war savings has met with a similar response. Statistics for the year 1917 are not yet available, but reports from various sections of the United States indicate that membership and assets in cooperative building, or savings and loan associations, increased at least 10 per cent, the same rate of increase for the year 1916 and about the average rate of increase for the last 10 years. The small savings-bank accounts show a similar increase in numbers of depositors and amounts of deposits. Sales of war savings stamps also show a great growth of the habit of saving. The American people have responded to the call of duty to economize and save. They have not only purchased nearly $6,000,000,000 of Liberty loan bonds and war savings stamps but in addition they have increased their savings as above shown. Patriotism and saving are synonymous now, and economy is a duty, and many millions of American citizens are doing their duty in this particular. San Bernardino county produced in 1917, according to annual crop report of County Horticultural Commissioner Coy, $17,212,862. SERVICE FLAG IMPRESSIVELY BLESSED Continued from Page 1 ready to serve and obey His mandates. The Lord who had made man to His image and likeness also desired that the order established by Him in the world should be perpetuated, wherefore, no authority but that which comes from above. Man created equal by the law of society must live in community. Community must have its laws, these laws should come from the consent of those who as free men are willing to submit to them for the common good. Here is the principle of democracy, and democracy begets the love of patriot, of fatherland. A slave never loves his condition, a country where the voice of the people rules not is hardly above the state of slavery. There are various forms of government, but to beget love for government it is necessary that the individual feels he is an integral part of the whole. It follows as a consequence that after the love of God there is no stronger passion; no stronger love in the free man as a love for his country. It means for him a defense of hearth and home, a defense of his ideals and principles. Whence he is satisfied to sacrifice, home and kin, wealth and ease, comfort and joy, health and strength, hopes and ambitions of the future, and accept in stern determination, subjection, discipline, privation, hardship, aye, death itself so that the principles of his conviction might live. A story ever ancient and ever new. The tale told at the cradle which caught the attention of the child, and loving its head on the pillar begor the permitted blood to flow, ruin and destruction to follow, and man in mad savage rage to destroy what he can never replace. And we who had prayed for peace, hoped to have been spared are now in the conflict. Cast your eyes on yonder service flag, note its field of white, its border or red, its stars of blue. Men of true blue with consciences clear may have to pass from the white field to the crimson red. They, like the grain of wheat, may have to die that you and I may live and continue to enjoy the freedom of our country's principles. Plain is our duty—We honor your noble brothers, we wish you well, our prayers are with you and we hope for your safe return. Should the deadly missile strike you, we ask you to kiss once more the colors of your country, the crucifix of your Saviour and turn your eyes towards California, dying, saluting, teaching us patriotism. O Hero of Calvary, thou who didst love thy people and didst weep for the nation—we gaze on thee. I see the red blood, I see the white of thy body, I see the blue of the wounds. O Jesus, thou has consecrated the red, white and blue to stand for truth, justice and right. Bless thou the sons of our parish and let them return in full number. Ahlborn Responds Following is Captain Ahlborn's brief but pointed address following the calling of the roll: It affords me great pleasure to be called upon as an humble representative and appointee of our illustrious president, to answer the roll call for the patriots, who have gone forth from this parish, to do battle under the glorious banner of our country. The Stars and Stripes. In answer to the call of our governors by the farmers and others interested, and a movement set on foot for bringing in Mexicans to supply the shortage. The state council of defense, it is announced, will back up the demand for necessary legislation to make this possible. Importers of Mexican laborers are now required to give bond in $500 for each Mexican brought in, obligating themselves to return him to his own country when the work for which he is imported is finished. The laborer is also compelled to pay a head tax of $8. It is proposed to do away with these restrictions, and also give assurance that these laborers will not be conscripted for war service. What guaranty, if any, is to be given for their return to Mexico is not stated. American labor will probably consider this a pertinent question. The proposed importation of Mexicans is at least much more feasible than to bring coolies from China. To do the latter would require scores of ships—which are not to be had—and months of time. And, as has been suggested, it would be much better and cheaper to import the product of these coolies, which would not have to be returned, than to bring in the coolies themselves. Mexicans could be brought in by either boat or rail, and the time consumed in bringing them to California would be negligible. That California and other agricultural states are confronted with a serious labor problem is undeniable. The drafting of many thousands of young men for service in the army, as well as the natural tendency of labor to seek work where the hours are short and the pay is greater, has greatly disturbed usual conditions. Particularly is this case on the farms, able bodied and experienced workers having either enlisted or sought the cities, where there is a constant demand for men in the mu- he is satisfied to sacrifice, home and kin, wealth and ease, comfort and joy, health and strength, hopes and ambitions of the future, and accept in stern determination, subjection, discipline, privation, hardship, aye, death itself so that the principles of his conviction might live.

From north to south, from east to west, a call, a command has gone through our land and rallying around the flag, is the flower of manhood. Financial, commercial, industrial, agricultural centers have sent their quotas. From the flaming steel towns of Pennsylvania and the Great Lakes, from the mills and factories of New England, and the hammering shipyards from Bath to Newport News, from the copper fields of Arizona and Montana, and from the ore fields of Minnesota, from the cotton fields of the South, the grain fields of the Mississippi valley and the virgin forests of Puget Sound, from our sun kissed California, from every city, town, village and hamlet American boys are facing forth to the ordeal believing to serve mankind. A decade ago the representatives of forty-four nations sat in solemn convention. Their deliberations were on peace, how to make it lasting, how to modify the horrors of war. Their conclusions were couched in diplomatic terms and returning to their countries in secret councils it was determined more intensive must be the preparation. The war god Mars demanded new destructive weapons. The fear inspiring and destructive air craft, the subtle, merciless under-sea boat, the cruel, deadly gas fumes. Truly we may say—like a Babylon of old, the challenge was cast to the heavens and the God of hosts every patriot who is serving his country upon the field of battle. Loving hearts and skillful hands have placed these stars upon this beautiful flag in commemoration of the patriots who have gone forth from this parish to fight for democracy under the stars and stripes. Although absent from their place of worship, they are not forgotten, the prayers of this parish will follow them wherever they are and rest upon them as a benediction and a blessing. This parish will look upon this banner and there behold with pride thirty-three stars placed there in commemoration of the stalwart sons and ardent patriots who have left the field of this parish temporarily to serve their country. Indeed the whole nation will feel proud with you, for is this not a demonstration of loyalty, of unity of purpose, which is a sure sign of early victory and a lasting peace. Allow me to congratulate you upon this demonstration of loyalty and patriotism coupled with the fervent hope that these patriots will soon return with their banners flushed with victory and crowned with peace, to again clasp their dear ones to their hearts and again mingle with the members of this parish at this place of worship. We trust in God. SOLUTION OF LABOR PROBLEM When Dean Thomas F. Hunt of the University of California returned from Washington he brought disconcerting news to the advocates of coolie labor on the farms of California. Dean Hunt had made inquiries and found that there was not the ghost of a show that congress or the national administration would even consider the suspension of the restriction laws relating to Chinese labor. That settled it. A quick right about face was made off in carpet factories because the war has caused a sharp decrease in the purchase of floor coverings," while at the same time "woolen and cotton duck factories are calling for weavers because the war orders and civilian needs have increased their business. Factories making gears and other machinery for pleasure automobiles are laying off help while the makers of trucks and other service machines are calling for more labor." The committee which has been investigating the labor situation in this state offered a number of suggestions for relief, which are worth considering. They are: 1. Substituting women workers in places which they can fill, such as clerical positions in stores, salesmen, bookkeepers and others, and thus releasing many men for harder work on the farms and industries. 2. Taking up all the slack by putting all idlers to work, regardless of who they are, and whether they are idle bums or idle millionaires. Every man in war time should do his share by working at useful toll. 3. Shorten the school terms and lengthen the vacation period, thus giving students and teachers an opportunity of working on the farm in summer. With the exception of the second these recommendations are practical. Neither the "idle bums" nor the "idle millionaires" would be of value on the farms or in the industries. The advisability of shortening the school term is open to question. Directors of the San Bernardino county farm bureau have endorsed a movement to establish a branch of the university farm school at Riverside.

Center St. Home 614 Pacific 116 Phone Pacific 44-J Phone Pacific 44-J John Kellenberger City Marshal and Constable Anaheim Township Anaheim, California GAS COMPANY PATRIOTIC Backing up Uncle Sam's Thrift Stamp drive, the Southern Counties Gas company is selling government stamps not only in the local office but in all branch offices on the system, 16 in all. Before the first of this year the company made arrangements whereby it was to act as a government agent in selling the stamps to the public and everything possible is being done to boost the sale of these little silver bullets. Each of the offices of the Southern Counties Gas company has put up the attractive government Thrift Stamp posters, cards and is circulating literature on the campaign. The government plans to raise $2,000,000,000 by this method and it is believed that with the support of every person this tremendous figure can be reached. Some of the government slogans in the Thrift Stamps campaign are: "Save and Serve," "A country worth fighting for is worth saving for," "Do you bit daily, Double up, make it Two-Bits," "We will win with silver bullets" and "If you can't be a soldier, be a saver." In the Ranks. The American House Manager is today a member of the army that is fighting to save democracy in the world. More than 11,000,000 managers of American homes have enlisted for the duration of the war and pledged themselves to support the fighting men by the way they buy, cook and serve food. Food will win the war, and these women will help to win it. America must send food to Europe. The armies cannot hold out if we fail to send it. Only certain foods can be shipped—those that pack the most food value into the smallest shipping space. These foods are wheat, meat, fats, sugar. We cannot eat them and send them too. We cannot eat them and send others. We must send these foods, and in order to do that we must eat other foods ourselves. The American House Manager will see to it that no food comes into her home that does not do its full duty under her management in winning the war. (Copyright by Life Pub. Co.)
