vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al-
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for-
wnrdod by tlie Food Administration to
all retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted In stores
throughout the Country. This card
states, "We pledge ourselves loyally to
carry out the Food Administration pro-

we will not sell any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight of one or more of the following,
a greater uso of which In the borne

“Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn

Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer in construing
this "BO-BO” ruling to mean that an
equal amount In value of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat flour.
This Is a mlstakCh Idea. The ruling
states that the consumer In purchasing
flour shall "buy at the same time au

One exception to this ruling Is con-
cernlng graham flour nnd whole wheat
flour, which may be sold at the ratio
of three pounds to five pounds ol
wheat flour. This provision Is made
because approximately 23 per cent,
more of the wheat berry Is used In the

were in Meeker shopping - (,e sold without substitutes. Retailers,
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
flours containing more than 50 pel
cent, of wheat flour to any person un-
less the amount of wheat flour substi-
tutes sold Is sufficient to make the to-
tal amount of substitutes, Including
those mixed In flours, equal to the to-
tal amount In wheat flour In the mixed
flour. For Instance, If any mixed flout
Is purchased containing 80 per cent
wheat flour and 40 per cent substi-
tutes It Is necessary that an additional
20 per cent of substitutes be pur-
chased. This brings It to the basis ol
one pound of substitutes tir each j
pound of wheat flour.
A special exemption may be granted
upon application In the case of special-
ly prepared Infants' and invalids' food
containing flour where the necessity Is
shown.
Some misunderstanding seems to ex-
ist on the part of consumers In assum-
ing that with the purchase of wheal
flour one must confine the additional I
50 per cent purchase to one of th«
substitutes. This Is not the case. Ona
may select from the entire range ol
substitutes a sufficient amount of each
to bring the total weight of all substi-
tutes equal to the weight of the wheal
flour purchased. For Instance, If a
purchase of 24 pounds of wheat floui
Is made a range of substitutes may b« 1
selected as follows:
Cornmeal, 8 pounds: corn grits, 4
pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 3
pounds; corn starch, 1 pound ; hominy, J
2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds.
These substitutes may be used In
the following manner:
Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.—Corn bread, no
flour; corn muffins or spoon bread,
one-fourth flour or one-third rice ol
one-third hominy; 20 per cent, substi-
tutes In whole bread.
Corn Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening
gravy, making custard, one-third sub- j
stltute In cake.
Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried Ilks
mush, used with meal In making corn'
bread.
Rolled Oats, 9 Pounds.—One-fourtl)
to one-third substitutes In bread, one-
half substitute In muffins; breakfast
porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies,!
oatmeal soup.
Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.—One.;
fourth substitute In bread, buckwheat
cakes.
Hominy, 2 Pounds.—Boiled for din. J
ner, baked for dinner, with cheeM *
sauce.
Rice, 4 Pound*.—One-fourth substi-
tute In wheat bread, one-third substi-
tute In corn bread, boiled for dinner («

thicken soups, rice pudding Instead o| 1

The formation of the Federal Reserve Bank
System was one of the most important steps
ever taken in the history of banking.
It is founded upon the principle that “In
Union There is Strength.”
By co-operation, every member bank sup-
ports and is supported by every other mem-
ber bank, instead of having to rely at all
times upon its own individual resources.
In times of stress this becomes a matter of
supreme importance to the individual, for, if
he is doing business with a bank that is a
member of the Federal Reserve System, he is
assured that his bank will be in position to
protect his interests to the full limit of legit-
imate banking.
You enjoy the advantages and protection
of this mighty banking system the mo-
ment you become a customer of this
bank.
