Talk about the autocracy of the enemy . countiries of the United States, if they have anything en what is.in vogue in:the nation’s capital in the “swivel chair brigade” it.ig.not known. There are nearly 2,000 young men of draft age in clerical work in various bureaus who are wearing uniforms.and carry- ing- commissions of lieutenants of the regular.army, who have never seen the inside of a. training camp, who don’t know the first rudiments of a military training and who are holding their costly tin horn jobs through friendly political pulls. That has been asserted in the halls of the national legis- lature and not denied. They are-the:pampered:and favered sons and relatives of officials and those who have influence with the powers that be. . The red blooded youth of the nation who answer the.call and enter training camps to prepare to go over to the trenches to battle for their country are compelled to salute these tin horn shrimps, owing to their having unearned commissions. It’s about the most disgusting piece . ef. popinjay . tactic: in official annals of the country. z 1 E It was during a.debate on thisiquestion in the house of congress that one:of the congressmen asked Cobgressman “Uncle Joe” Cannon of the Eighteenth district, Illinois, why, it was necessary for these imitation: officers to. wear.spurs, to which the veteran congressman replied:: ‘“To. keep:their heels. from slipping off the desks.” g NOTICE ANY “HONOR PATCHES,” MR. CULVER? In an account of the return of D. S. Culver, director of the Mnneapolis War Savings Stamp commission, a Minneapolis paper quoted him as saying: : F. A. Vanderlip emphasized.at the meeting in Chicago that War Savings Stamps-are to be purchased from little sacrifices our people - make, said Mr. Culver. He said every time we put a patch on our clothes, it means a badge of honor for our soldiers at home. If we are to save, begin now. It always “tickles” our gizzard. whenever.we run.into a piece of slush like that and we have encountered considerable exudeing from some luminary speaking for the,people of the United States. : To hear of an individual like:Vanderlip, a man possessed: of wealth and the president of the largest bank in the United States, in New York, handing out the. illuminating ~and vital information that patches on one’s clothes are ‘“‘badges of honor,” etc., etc. g Notice any “badges of honor” such as Vanderlip describes on his raiment, Mr. Culver? You did not. He’s not kidding anybody. R s il A WILTON SOUNDLY :REBUFFS:SEDITION. Wilton, a few miles went of Bemidji, beat its quota of $1,500 in the third Liberty Loan campaign by $1,700, a total of $3,200. Wilton is to be congratulated. y It was in Wilton only a few days ago. when an.attempt was made to bring discredit and disgrace upon the people of that thriving little village by holding ‘a -meeting at which dis- loyalty and treason to the cause of their home country was to be mouthed by a hair-brained boy of tender years, fostered by irresponsibles. Loyal citizens of a neighboring city, Bemid,ji, checked the outrage and placed under arrest the misguided “orator” of the evening, and, instead-of the utterances of sedi- tion, were heard from impromptu speakers the:voice of loyaity to the flag and their country. : It was not a set program. None was needed. It.was the voice of the patriot that was heard in plea to his fellow citizens to co-operate in upholding the nation that has given them their all and what life holds in store:for;them. And 'Wilton heard and showed that she, too, was patriotic to the core. ST Vo - SOME MORE STATESMANSHIP. The increased charges for postage which the magazines of the country will have to pay this year will doubtless affect their subscription price, and the ultimate effect .upon ‘the periodical press may be very great. The policy of the govern- ment hitherto has been to. aid in the dissemination of: informa- tion through, generous use of -the mails for publishers. It is in keeping with the policy of secretiveness now prevailing at Washington that it should be made harder. and.more costly to get printed information to the people. d — Come on folks! Get the spirit! Going to.have one:big day May 18 when the Red Cross drive starts. It will be nation wide and little old Bemidji will be there as usual. PR, WS S # If you can accommodate a delegate to the state Sunday school convention in Bemidji it will be heartily appreciated. Haven’t you a spare room or a spare bed? — e Gautemala has now joined the allies. Gautemala has a large supply of “shock” troops that would prove effective if we could get them over there. Go to the Red Cross auction sale at the Elko Saturday evening. There will be some rare bargains offered, and they will be money savers. — ‘Alcoholic spirits have taken a back seat. Patriotic spirits is the national stimulant these days. ¢ IN 50-50 PLAN SIGN PLEDGE TO '‘CARRY OUT ~FOOD-ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM. ROST =~ CARDS IN STORES. Explain New Wheat Ruling- to Thousands; of Customers—In- sures Greater [Food . Saving, @Grocers of the nation have accepted enthusiastically the §0-50.basis for the ipurchase of wheat flour 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 flour to' buy one. pound of - cereal- substitute, one kind or assorted, for every .poulid of wheat flour, - It. was. necessary fo re- strict the use of wheat flour i order .that the allles-and. our fighting forces abroad might be. assured-of an:ade- quate supply of wheat to. weet-their vital necds. This supply wust 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 couatry. . This .card states, “We pledge oursgives loyally.to carry out the Food Administration. pro- gram. In_accordance with this ‘order ' we will not sell. any wheat flour except where. the -purchaser buys an equal welght qf one.or.more of the following, 8 .greater use of which in the home will: save wheat : g “Cornmeal, corn: flour, ‘edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato- flour, sweet-potato flour, soy bean flour, feterita flour-and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour.” z Some confusion has resulted on the part of the consumer in construing this “50-50" ruling to .mean that . an equal amount in .value of :substitutes must be purchased with..wheat: flour. This is a mistaken idea. The ruling states that the consumer in purchasing flour shall “buy at the same time an equal weight.of other. cereals.” One exception to this ruling is con- cerning graham flour-‘and whole wheat flour, which. may. be sold at. the. ratio of i three pounds to flve pounds of wheat- flour.- This provision is-made because approximately 25 per cent. more of the wheat berry is used In the manufacture of these flours than stand- ard wheat flouf. L S Another exception s that concern- ing- mixed flours containing less than* 50 per cent..of wheat flour, which:may be sold.without substitutes. ; Retailers, however, are: forbidden to.sell mixed flours containing more than, 50 per 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 flour is purchased containing. 60 per cent. wheat flour. and 40 per cent. substi- tutes it is necessary that an-additienal 20 per .cent. of suhstitutes be pur- chased. This brinis it to the hasis of one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat flour. A special .lexemption may be granted upon application in the.case offi]wvinl- Iy prepared- infants’ and invalids' food containing flour where the necessity is shown. Same misunderstanding seems to ¢X- {8t on the part of consumers in assum: ing that with the purchase of wheat fiow . one must confine the additional 50 pes cent. purchase to one of the substitutes. This is not the case.. One may select from. the .entire range of substitates-a.sufficlent.amount .of each to bring the total weight of all substl- tutes equal. to the weight of:the wheat flour purchased. For instance, if a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour {s made a range of substitutes may be selected as follows' Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 -pounds ; buckwheat, 2 pounds; corn starch, 1 pound ;-hominy, 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 onme-third rice or one-third hominy; 20 per cent. substi- tutes in whole, bread. Corn Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening | gravy, making,.custard, one-third sub- stitute in cake. Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried llke mush, used with nieal in making:corn bread. Rolled Oats, 3 Pounds.—One-fourth to one-third substitutes_in bread, one- half substitute in-muffins; breakfast porridge, use:freely ;s oatmeal; cogkies, oatmeal soup. . Buckwheat . Flour, . 2. Pounds.—One- fourth substitute in bread, buckwheat cakes. Hominy, 2 Pounds.—Boiled for din- per, baked for dinner, with cheese sauce. Rice, 4 Pounds.—One-fourth substi- tute In wheat bread, one-third substi- tute in.corn bread, boiled for dinner (a bread . cut), as a breakfast. food, to thickea soups, rice pudding Instead of cake ar ple, rice batter cakes. Sevefal grocers have stated that thelr customers who strictly observe the 11 wheatless meals each week find it necessary to buy substitutes in ad- dition to those ordered under the 50- 60 pian, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER 1My, ‘//md : ,Ther‘Shfie Man’s .
