WEEKLY MAIL EDITION Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA., SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918 TO CUT WHEAT USE ONE-HALF Military Necessity Demands That Each American Eat Only 11/2 Pounds Wheat Products Weekly. CORN AND OATS SUBSTITUTES Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to Maintain Their War Bread Till Next Harvest. If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month as against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent of our normal consumption. This is the situation as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washington. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of wheat products weekly per person, the Food Administration's statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers' bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abundant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have available a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and barley as substitutes has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. To effect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed: 1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than $1\frac{1}{4}$ pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, ples, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eating establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus conforming with the limitations requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before, and corresponding proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per cent, of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using whea* ucts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat products whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one-half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households in the country to follow this additional programme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a proportion of substitutes. In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are absolutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operation of the public by a further limitation of distribution, and we shall place once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable distribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until then we ask for the necessary patience, sacrifice and co-operation of the distributing codes. HELP IN 50-50 WHEAT PROGRAM Thousands of Retail Grocers Support Food Administration Rules. SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY. New Wheat Saving Program Demanded — Allied Food Shortage Increases—America Must Feed Fighters. Explainning the United States Food Administration's new 50:50 wheat regulations is a war time task the American grocer has gladly shouldered. Many stores are already displaying their Food Administration wheat saving pledge cards, that they have signed, agreeing to carry out the new wheat program. Each flour customer is now required to buy one pound of cereal substitute for every pound of wheat flour. The substitute may be of one kind or assorted. This 50:50 sale is made by weight and not by value of the commodities. There is, of course, no regulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat flour at all. A wide variety of substitutes has been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour, edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean flour, Fetizer flour and meals, rice, rice flour, omeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour. Graham and whole wheat flour constitute an exception to the national regulation. Either of these commodities may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour—that is, five pounds of graham or wheat flour counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour. Mixed flours form another exception. Where any flour contains 50 per cent, or less of wheat it may be sold without any substitutes. Where the flour is mixed at the rate of 60 per cent, wheat and 40 per cent, of other ingredients an additional 20 per cent, of substitutes must be purchased by the consumer. Where necessity is shown specially prepared infant's and invalid's food containing flour may be sold. That the approved substitutes may be assorted is a fact many grocers and housewives overlooked for a time. For instance, if a customer wishes to buy a 24 pound sack of flour the necessary substitutes might be assorted as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds. None of the substitutes should be considered as a waste purchase. There are many household uses for each. The eight pounds of cornmeal can be made into cornbread, corn muffins or used in the baking of wheat bread. Cornstarch is useful in making custard, thickening gravity or may be used in cake baking. Corn grits fried like mush forms a delicious dish, or it may be used in baking corn bread. Rolled oats are used largely as breakfast porridge or in oatmeal cookies or in making muffins. Buckwheat flour may be used in bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of the wheat flour, but is especially choice in the form of buckwheat cakes for breakfast. With 11 wheatless meals needed each week in America to provide enough wheat for the allies, the Food Administration believes the substitutes will all be used to advantage. PYTHIANS HEAR ANNUAL SERMON. REV. ABERNATHY PREACHES ABLE SERMON FOR K. P.S The annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias was preached at the Mt. Zion Baptist church last Sunday afternoon by Rev. J. H. Abernathy, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city. The spacious basement floor of the church was filled to capacity. A special program had been arranged for the occasion, which was enjoyed by all those present. Rev. Abernathy was at his best and delivered a very able sermon on Damon and Pythias. After the exercises at the church the uniform rank headed a parade several blocks long. The women of the Court of Calanthe rode in automobiles behind the uniform rank. It was one of the best parades ever seen in Tulsa. ADAMS ADDITION OPEN TO COLORED PEOPLE. EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE DISTRICT NOW OPEN The Adams Addition on the north of the city limits, which heretofore has been sold to white people only, is now open and for sale to colored people. This is one of the high-class residence districts in Tulsa, and is the only addition in the city not segregated. There are just 36 lots open for sale and these will be sold under restrictions as the owners are desirous of establishing a restricted residence district for colored people. Lawyer E. L. Sadler and A. J. Smitherman are the sole agents for the property. Telephones 6918 and 931. For the present these lots, all fronting east, will sell for $250. "SAMMIES" WANT THE STAR With the U. S. A. Somewhere in Oklahoma. Mr. A. J. Smitherman. Dear Editor—We (Hiro Hughes, Emery M. Gibbs, John H. Arbaugh) arrived in Oklahoma City, April 25, 1918, 4:39 p.m. M.

Hoping to get the kaiser soon, Yours truly, The Boys P. S.—Please save us a copy of your paper. We will send you our address when we get to Newport News. We will also send for a subscription when we get there. SOLDIER BOYS GFT BIG SEND OFF. DRAFTED MEN LEAVE HOME IN GOOD SPIRITS The Cleaver-Cherry hall on North Greenwood was filled with the friends and loved ones of 27 drafted men last Saturday night for the one purpose of giving the boys a "good time" send-off to Camp Funston in Kansas. Each of the drafted men were in the best of spirits and left with the usual look of determination upon their faces. The boys danced with their best girls as they never danced before. After the dancing the boys were served with fruit, cake and ice cream, while Madame Billy Kersand and her company sang a number of patriotic songs, which were certainly appreciated by those present. The boys leftover the Katy at 10 o'clock for Camp Funston. CIVIC LEAGUE ENTERTAINS WITH HIGH-CLASS SMOKER Geo. Reeves Was Principal Speaker of the Day. A smoker was given at Smith's hall on North Hartford, Tuesday night, by the Civic League of Tulsa, at which a number of the members were present, besides a few outsiders. County Attorney George Reeves was present and was the principal speaker for the occasion. This was the beginning of a series of entertainments to be given by the league. On each such occasion some good speaker will be introduced. The next entertainment will be held some time t this month. 90,000 DRAFTED MEN WILL BE CALLED OUT MONTHLN IN 1918 Trained Troops to Be Rushed to France to Make Room for Recruits. Washington.—rders for the mobilization of the first large number of men of the second draft will go out to the governors of the states very soon. Fifteen thousand men of the second draft now are mobilizing and the April call about to go out will represent probably more than the month's proportion of the 800,000 men who it previously has been announced will be called during the remaining nine months of the year. To call the 800,000 in equal monthly increments will mean to mobilize them at about a rate of 90,000 a month. A. G. RODGERS FINED $100 AND GIVEN 20 DAYS IN JAIL. The preliminary trial of policeman A. G. Rodgers for assault upon J. J. Jackson on election day was held before Justice Daniels yesterday and resulted in a conviction. He was fined $100 and given 20 days in jail. His lawyer appealed the case. The court fixed his bond $500. NO.25 Late War News LONDAN, May 3.—The German infantry in Flanders is still resting from Monday's supreme exertion. The guns are pitching in again with great vigor, however, and the lull seems about to be broken. There was one local raid by the enemy today at Hebuterne, between Albert and Arras. It was easily repulsed by the British. At Arras, Lens and at St. Vincent, the Krupps thundered forth an overture to new infantry assaults which had not yet materialized up to late today, however. French Score Local Successes. In Picardy, too, there were heavy gun duels. There the French scored a couple of important local successes. They captured Baune wood, southwest of Mailly-Rainyeal (south of Morizel) taking 30 prisoners, they also registered an appreciable advance in Hangard wood. Earlier in the day the repulse of a German local thrust at Themes (nine miles southeast of Amiens) was officially reported by Paris. The German artillery paid special attention all night and day to the sector of Villers-Bretonneux, the village nine miles due east of Amiens which the French and British retook the other day just when the Germans were making ready to sweep westward down the slopes of the high ground on the summit of which the village is located. The German war office called the situation in Picardy and Flanders unchanged in the day reports and claimed in Lorraine. Paris in the earlier statement reported successful French thrusts in Lorraine. Twenty prisoners were taken. The estimates of the German losses in killed, wounded and missing since March 21 range all the way from 350-000 to 900,000. Jpst now, as von Arnim is "taking breath," as one correspondent puts it, and a revival of the German effort to break through is looked for with certainly before many hours have passed. ASSASSIN WHO PRECIPITATED WAR DIES OF TUBERCULOSIS LONDON, May 1.—Gavrio Prinzip, the assassin of Arch Duke Francis Ferdinand, the heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife, at Sarajevo, Bosnia, died yesterday in a fortress near Prague of tuberculosis, telegraphs the correspondent at The Hague of the Exchange Telegraph Company. Prinzip shot the Austrian arch duke and his wife while they were on a visit to the Bosnian capital on June 28, 1914, and out of this double murder the European war developed. Prinzip, who was a student, was found guilty and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. Prinzip fired two explosive bullets from a revolver at the Austrian heir apparent, the first striking the Duchess of Hohenberg, the arch duke's morganatic wife, in the abdomen, and the second taking effect in the neck of the arch duke. Both bullets caused death within a short time. Earlier in the day, Medeljo Gabrinovic, a typist of Servian nationality, had thrown a bomb which the arch duke warded off with his arm, so that it exploded some distance from his automobile. The bomb injured six persons. Gabrinovic was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. Four other conspirators were sentenced to death by hanging, one to life imprisonment, and one to twenty years in jail. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION.

County Attorney George Reeves is waging a campaign against vice and crookedness and he thinks it the better plan to start at the foundation head, hence the uneasiness of some of our officers who have been taking blood money from Joint operators and women of easy virtue. The probabilities are that the people of Oklahoma will shortly be under a stipulator allowance of flour for family use. The food administrator of the state, Judge Ames, is fathering a plan to issue allowance cards to all householders, flour and bread purchasers in each county, limiting the amount to six pounds of flour per month or its equivalent, in bread to each consumer. No flour in excess of this will be purchased, or bread purchased without the card. England has a national problem on its hands in dealing with the Irish situation. For many years England has wrestled with this grave question without having accomplished its object.

The only cases of supposed crime, of any nature charged a trial before an impartial court CURBING THE MOB SPIRIT The anti-lynching bill presented to congress by Representative Dyer of Minnesota is a necessary measure, made so by the unabated system of these atrocious and inhuman acts of violence on the part of the citizens of several states, especially in the south. Be it said to the shame of our government that specia' acts of legislation become expedient to protect the lives and homes of a certain portion of its citizens. But it is nevertheless true and the law enacted should be fortified with the most severe punishment to the perpetrators of these soulless crimes against a fell human being. Within the past two weeks two more lynchings have been reported, one in Tennessee and one in Louisiana. Tennessee apparently leads in the number and the most revolting spectacle of mob violence. The horrible burning and mutilating of Eli Pierson at Memphis is an example of its form of inhuman and brute methods of lynchings. And the place chosen was the court house yard, near the court where justice and fair play should be exalted and respected. It seems to be the idea of an element in the southern states that lynching the black man without giving him even a semblance of a trial by court or jury, is his right and prerogative. And the entire state in which these lawless acts are committed stands equally guilty because its officers and sponsors of public peace and protection take no step to seek out the guilty ones on prevent these dastardly crimes. The American government also comes in for its share of condemnation because it does not exercise its power to protect this class of its citizens. It therefore becomes necessary to enact special legislation to see that our race is protected against mob-law and mob-rule. The proposed law contains many stringent features, which will no doubt serve to stop lynching if passed by congress and made a law. We give below four of the main excerpts of the proposed law as submitted to congress by Representative Dyer: 1. Make the county liable for not less than $5,000, nor more than $10,000, wherever lynching occurs. 2. Remove from office the officers or persons into whose custody the victim was at the time. 3. The United States to have full charge of the prosecution of all persons involved. 4. Three or more persons may constitute a mob.

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap." AFTER PROHIBITION — WHAT? Ratification of the pending prohibition amendment has proceeded far enough to leave little room for doubt as to its early triumph. If all legislatures were in session it is probable that this year would see the end of the legalized liquor industry in the United States. In spite of difference of opinion on the justice or expediency of the step, it must be accepted as inevitable, and preparations should be under way to meet the situation. Elimination of the liquor traffic means elimination of an important source of public revenue. Congress should not wait until this has actually occurred before considering how to make up the deficit. Revenue legislation hastily enacted to meet a sudden emergency is likely to be more favorable to special interests than to useful ones. At least all experience so indicates. That risk ought to be avoided. The strong advocates of the amendment predict many benefits to follow its adoption. Vice and crime are to be lessened, workers are to become more efficient, industry is to be more productive, business is to improve, and social conditions generally are to show an approach toward the ideal. Perhaps it would not be wise or fair to insist on literal fulfillment of these predictions, but we have a right to assume that if the liquor traffic is one half as great an evil as its opponents claim, its abolition must bring great benefits. And who, but those to whom these benefits bring financial gain should make up the deficit in public revenue? A more sober, industrious, efficient and law-abiding population must make the United States a better country, and enable its owners to exact a bigger price for the privilege of living and working within it. They will get higher rents or ask bigger selling prices for land. This might be no loss to the worker whose slavery to the drink habit had previously impaired his earning powers. Freed from temptation, he could increase his earning power. But to the man who had never been addicted to drink, increased rent will not see a matter of indifference. Glad, as he ought to be, of the emancipation of his fellow worker, he may justly complain should the landlord be allowed to gather from wealth producers not only money that was previously spent in the saloon but much more that would never have found its way thither. That is one reason why a tax should be laid on land values to get the revenue formerly obtained from the saloon. Otherwise must be additions to taxes --- THE TULSA STAR now laid upon industry, thrift and enterprise. And these, with increased rents, will make the change a more expensive one than it need be. Prohibitionists who must feel naturally proud in the accomplishment of their mission should be forewarned of the possibility that mismanagement may turn the fruit of their efforts into apples of Sodom. But if they put into the movement for taxation of land values, the same energy and enthusiasm that has carried prohibition to victory, they will not only assure permanent popular satisfaction with that policy, but make of it a means to end an evil institution more responsible for driving people to drink than the liquor business itself. And this reform is essential to saving of prohibition from failure. PROMINENT RACE MAN PASSES AWAY SERVED MANY YEARS AN HONEST PUBLIC OFFICIAL Succumbing to injuries received when he fell from a third-story window of his apartments to the sidewalk below, Saturday night, April 20, Phil Waters, age 47, for fifteen years assistant clerk of the supreme court of appeals, died last night at a local hospital. Philip Henry Waters, born at Leesburg, Va., August 22, 1870, was the best known man of his race in West Virginia, and one of the best known in the country. He held public position continuously since his appointment to a clerkship in 1897. Prior to that time he had served as librarian of the house of delegates. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan, from which he received the degree of bachelor of laws in 1895. He was also a graduate of Morgan college and, previously a student at Harvard. Waters was the first notary public of color to be appointed in the state and was several times clerk of the committee on finance and taxation on one or the other side of the legislature. He was active in politics from boyhood, and attend. 4, always in an official capacity, every republican national convention since that of 1892. He had attended also every state convention of his party since that year, serving as reading clerk, in which capacity he had few equals. His circle of acquaintances and of friends was unusually large. From these, colored as well as white, all over the country, telegrams of condolence are pouring into the city to the bereaved family, the immediate members of which are the widow, a daughter, father, mother and two brothers.

Food Administration's New Home Card Now in 10,000,000 Homes. The women of America, who are anxious to do their great part in the winning of the war, are now, as a whole, familiar with the most important aspects of food conservation. The Home Card, both in its original form and in the revised edition for 1915, which provides for two wheatless days, one meantless day a week, in addition to a wheatless meal every day, has been placed by the Food Administration after a vigorous campaign in 10,000,000 American homes. An intelligent and conscientious observance of the Home Card's requirements is all the Food Administration asks of the housewives of the country. The Food Administration has had a great many requests, however, particularly from the homes of the well-to-do, that it should issue a worked out plan for a voluntary system of rationing. This desire for a voluntary ration springs from two causes—first, because it is far simpler for the housewife to save food when she has a concrete working plan by which to proceed, and, second, because the loyal women of America desire, usselflly, to put themselves on the same basis as the women of the Allied countries. The ration proposed by the Food Administration is almost the same as that adopted in England for voluntary observance. All over the United Kingdom, in hundreds of houses there hangs in the front window a card with the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RATIONS."

The allied nations have made further increased demands on us for breadstuff—demands that Americans are obligated to meet. In the meantime America's meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to come by the unprecedented shipping to market of nops that averaged 232 pounds each instead of 203 pounds—the normal. The United States Food Administration, endeavoring to adjust the international food balance, promptly removed certain restrictions in this country on the use of meat and at the same time asked for a smaller consumption of breadstuffs. We are asked to observe only one meatless day each week—Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. But our bread ration must be held to a minimum. In altering its food conservation program the Food Administration emphasizes that the food situation is of necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the precarious transportation problem, both in overseas shipping and in America's overburdened transportation system. The Food Administration will keep the American people fully and frankly advised of each change in the developing situation that they may know definitely the part their food sacrifices play in the world war.
