The crisis in the wheat saving pro-

federal food administrator for Okla- j
homa, and the next two months will
tell whether or not the efforts of
America to 0«ve for our allies has
been In aln.
"Now is the time for the greatest
conservation In wheat that has been
practiced," Judgo Ames said. "If
present supplies will bridge uh over
until after the harvest we have aceorn-
pllshed our lirst objective, in order
to do this, however, the lids on flour
barrels must be tightened more than ;
•ver before "
Judge Atues Is not one of thoss
who expects to see wheatloss days ,
and the fifty-fifty basis for substitutes
pass with the milling of flour from the j
new wheat.
"The war is certain to last another
rear after tills one and we must save
enough wheat from this harvest to
guard against a lean year for 1919,"

PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION.
PRESIDENT WILSON SETS ASIDE JUNE 28 AS NATIONAL WAR
PRESIDENT DAY._APPEALS TO EVERYBODY TO BUY
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.
In a proclamation designating June 28 as National War Savings
Day President Wilson said: in# ,v,.„
" ■ This war Is one of nations— r.. o armies, and all of our one
hundred million people must be ideally and industrially ad-
jested to war conditions it this ml: , is to play its full part la
the conflict The problem befor ns M not primarily a financial
problem hut rather a problem of i« ) . .1 production of war essen
tlals and the saving of the materia:, and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our army and navy. Thoughtless
exi rndlture of money for non-essentials uses up the labor for non-
essenlials uses up the labor of men, the products of tho farm, mines
and factories and overburdens transportation, all of which must
be used to tho utmost and at their best for war purposes.
"1 earnestly appeal to every man. woman and child to pledge
themselves on the iiSth day of June to save constantly and to buy
as regularly as possible the securities of the government; and to do
this as far as possible through membership In War Savings Societies.
The 28th of June ends this special period of enlistment in the great
volunteer army of production and saving here at home. May there
he none unenlisted on that day."
WOODROW WILSON,
President of the United States.

SUGAR LIMIT 3 POUNDS.
Three pounds of sugar for
June is the allotment of each
Oklahoman, according to C. H.
Ames, federal food admini tra-
tor.
"Tha person who eats more
than three pounds of sugar is
cheating a soldier," Judge Ames
says. "The shortage of shipptng
space has caused an acute scar-
city of sugar and If tiie present
supply Is made to last through
the canning seson ech person
must see to it that he stays
within the three pound Unit "

It will be the day that will set the
pare for the people < f every nation in

This glorious country felt its way
carefully before making a declaration
of war i'gainst Germany but from
that time on it has jumped by leaps
*iii«t bounds into the very vortex of
the frav.
The president asks every person to
usume an individual responsibility in
helping to win the war by signing
the War Savings Pledge. Those who
fail to sign will have their names re-
corded together with their reasons.
I nele Sam wants to know those who
are willing to do their part. lie wants
to know also those who shirk.
Everybody appears to be willing and
if reports are any criterion Oklahoma
will oversubscribe its quota of forty
