Some confusion has resulted on th<
part of the consumer in constrains
this "50-50" ruling to mean that arf

ms is a mistaken Idea. The rulin|
states that the consumer in purchasln|
Sour shall "buy at the same tlms aa
Ogual weight of other cereals."
One exception to this ruling Is con.
earning graham floor and whole wheat
Sour, which may be sold at the rati*
three pounds to five pounds of
wheat floar. This provision Is msdi
because approximately 25 per cent
■ore of the wheat berry Is used In th«
Manufacture of these flours than stand-
ard wheat flour.
Another exception Is that concern-
ing mixed flours containing less thaq
SO per cent, of wheat flour, which may
-|n sold without substitutes. Retailer^
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
Sours containing more than 60 pet
, of wheat flour to any person an-
i the amount of wheat flour substfc
i sold Is sufficient to make the to

ithoae mixed In flours, equal to the to<

Wheat floor and 40 per cent substk

SO per cent of substitutes be pun

one pound of substitutes for eacb

Claude Miller was here Satur-
day meeting his mar.:* old time
friends and giving his reasons
for running in these war times.
He spoke at the 0. M. school
house Council of Defense regu-
lar monthly meeting, where he
is always welcome. Below we
give some of the Points in
Claude Miller's Platform:
I propose to go to Congress on a
Win the War Platform from
a Bread and Meat Basis, and
looking at it from an Agri-
cultural District Standpoint.
Win the War
We are going to win this war,
sentative. If we keep, up the
present lick on wheat, corn and
hogs, there will be a famine in
U. S. and the Western Euro-
pean front in less than two
years. Let's try to keep the
men who arc oh farms there
and encourage production, else
many farmers may seek work
which there is more pay.
End War and Force Peace
As soon as a victorious and
honorable peace may be had, I
believe in an International Con-
gress, Court and Constitution,
and an International army to
absolutely police any unruly or
warring mtion on the earth; a
and WE MUST WIN IT and do Congress formed by all the civ-
so as fast as possible. Why llizfd nations to prevent war,
waste a moment of unnecessary
time or waste a single unneces-
sary life? Lefs do it now with
and to actually force nations to
a Court of Arbitration, and stop
the manufacturing of war muni-
all our might, as it has to bei J®118 0l£y under direction of the
done.
Encourage Bread and Meat
Raising
If a price is set on wheat,
let's put it on all other j?9Jn-
modities. J fear setting prices
q{ farm products is like mon-
keying Jyftk .a buzz saw, or fac-
ing a famm£ Let's give every
bit of encouragement possible
to the producers of wheat and
hogs, as well SS all other eata-
bles. l|r -ww-
erabiy enlarged, and we caj*/fupplyjhe
alllef UTth all of thvmeat p^auctf
tffclch transportation facilities reiyMf
possible and. at the, tame time some-
what Increase our own consumption.
In these circumstances the Food Ad-
ministration considers It wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con-,
sumption to some extent with a view,
to further decreasing bread consump-
tion.
Conservation of food must be ad-
Justed to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al-
lied demands are constant factors, nor
can any of these factors be anticipated
for long periods In advance In the dis-
turbed conditions in which we at pres-
ent live. While the world situation is
not one that warrants any relaxation
In the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy In food,' the Adminis-
tration deal res to secure better adjust-
ment In food balance*
So long as tbe present conditions
continue the only special restrictions
we ask are the beefless and porkless
Tuesday.
The meatless meal and the porkless
Saturday are no longer asked.
The farmers of the United States
are responding to the national call to
Increase hog production. Their In-
crease, to all appearances, la being at-
tained more rapidly. Of more Imme-
diate Importance, however, are several
complex factors which have effected
an immediate Increase In meat sup-
plies.
The transportation shortage before
the government took over the rail-
roads, the bad weather In January and
early In February, the large percent-
age of Immature corn In the last har-
vest and the necessity of feeding this
corn as rapidly as possible to save It
from decay, have not only resulted In
backing up the animals—particularly
hogs—on the farms for a longer pe-
riod of feeding, but have resulted in a
great Increase in their average weight
Move Corn Without Profit
If we are strong enough to
conscript the railroads, we ire
surely strong enough to move
cora from Iowa or other cora
districts (by the Government,
without profit at either end of
the line) into a district that
has not raised an, ear of corn
for two years.
Congressman Must Know the
Needs
I believe that the implement
makers, the hide and leather
dealers, the bullet manufactur-
ers and the Iowa corn fellows
International Congress.
Swapping Horses Now
In the midst of the greatest
battle ever fought on the earth
the allied nations changed gen-
erals and put in General Foch.
In the midst of her fearful trials
Great Britain swapped Asquith
for Loyd George, my? Effi-
ciency! A man who had the
experience; a man who knew
the needs; a man who dares to
do or die.
Junketing Trips—Garden Seed
. —flanking
All of my life I have been op-
posed to twenty cent mileage
for congressmen or officials to
take junketing trips to Hawa-
iian Islands and other pleasure
resorts at the expense of the
public, especially in war times,
and am against the garden seed
waste, and the franking of let-
ters for political purposes.
Conscript Munition Plants
. If I go to Congress, I shall
favor the conscription of every
should be allowed made on the
bullets while the blood is going
free.
Our Boys Over There In Camps
If it takes alll the wealth of our
country to care for our soldiers
I say take the wealth. Those
boys are doing the most noble
thing that has ever yet been
done. The fathers and mothers
of those boys have a right to
demand the spending of the
wealth of this nation to care
for the boys who have gone to
the front. How little this
seems the part of those "who
have but gold to give."
End All Large Fortunes
At the Oklahoma City meet-
ing, Secretary Lane said that
this war is the beginning of the
end of all large fortunes in the
U. S., and I hope to be able to
see that that statement is car-
ried out, and believe the radical
profiteer is as dangerous to our
country as the radical I. W. W.
or Bolsheviki.

Some misunderstanding seems to e*
tat on the part of consumers In assum. |
Ing that with the pr.rcha.se of wheal j
Soar one must confine the additional,
CO per cent, purchase to one of th<
substitutes. This is not the case. On< j
my select from the entire range o|
Substitutes a ■ufllcler.f amount of eacfc
to bring the total welsrht of all substi-
tute* equal to the weight of the wheat
Sour purchased. For Instance, If «
purchase of 24 pounds of wheat floui
la made a range of substitutes may b<
■elected n follows:
Oorameal, 8 pounds; corn grits, i
pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 9
pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy,
,1 pounds; rolled oata, 3 pounds.
These substitutes may be used In
the following manner:
Gornmeal, 8 Pounde.—Corn bread, ne
inr; corn muffins or spoon bread,
ono-feurth flour or one-third rice oi
one-third hominy; 90 per cent aubatfr
tataa in whole bread.
Can Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening
navy, making cuatard. one-third tab.
ofalate In cake.
Cam Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried like
, used with meal In making corn
Boiled Oata, S Pounds.—One-fourth
go one-third substitutes In bread. ono>
>■ snbstltute In muffins; breakfast
porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies,
oatmeal soup.
Bockwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.—One-
ftrarth substitute in bread, buckwheat
cakes.
Hominy. 2 Pounds.—Boiled for din-
Mr. baked for dinner, with cheese
Bice, 4 Pounds.—One-fourth substl-1
tate in wheat bread, one-third substl* |
tute In corn bread, boiled for dinner (a
bread cut), as a breakfast food, to
thicken sonps, rice puddln* Instead ol
cake or p!e. rice batter mkes.
Several grocers have stated thai j
their customer* who strictly otservs
the 11 wheatless meals each week find
It necessary to buy substitutes In ad-
dition to those ordered under Um 60
(HpUn.
ll|rtntion conditions,.which already ap-
pear, In larger than normal arrivals at |
market for the next two or three
months. The weight of hogs coming
to the market for the past two weeks
Indicates an Increase in weight o{
from an average of 203 pounds last
year to the almost unprecedented
average of 232 pounds, or a net in-
crease In their meat vtlue of over 15
per cent This is a distinct addltloij
to the nation's meat supply. It there-
fore now seems certain that we have
such enlarged supplies for at least
some montha to come, that we can not
only Increase our exports to the allies
to the full extent of their transporta-
tion facilities, but at the same time
can properly Increase our domesUt
consumption.
Tbe response of the public to our re-
quests for reduced consumption of
meat during the past few montha ha|
been most gratifying, and thla service
alone haa enabled the government dais
lag thla period to provide ouch sap-
plies as transportation
permitted.

that In thoee- ^ierts of the country
where the old faahloned home preser-
vation of pork la still the custom, thli
practice qpould be extended at th«
present time, as It will relieve the bos
den upon transportation to and from
the packing bouses and Is ecqpomlcal
ly sound ss saving tbe cost of psckln|
operations and at the same time wilj
provide home supplies of pork to lasi
over the months of decreased supplies
The Food Administration desires t«
repeat that It does not want to glv«
the Impression that these are timet
when simplicity and moderation of liv-
ing are not critically necessary, but
that Its sole desire la to secure an ad
Justment between our different foot
