FORTUNE SMILES ON THESE
Minors of Mixed Indian and African
Descent Now Millionaires.
Muskogee, Okla.—When the United
States government made the allot
ments of 160 acres of land to members
of the Five Civilized Tribes or Creeks,
beginning in 1899 and continuing
about five years, the older Indians
and half-breeds, or “Negroes,” as they
were classed, picked the fertile cattle
lands. The rougher lands were left to
the minors, mostly Colored boys and
girls. Some of the guardians of these
minors offered their holdings at ridic
ulously low prices, but could get no
buyers. Bertha Rector, now' 14 years
old and one of the richest of the Col
ored minors, could not get $400 for
her 160 acres, though anxious to sell
in 1909. Then came the discovery of
oil beneath this “worthless soil” anti
Bertha Rector now has an income of
$6,000 to $8,000 per month. She will
be a millionaire.
Many of these Colored minors will
attain their majority this year. Fdit)’
Durant will be 18 in July and her
joint guardians, Lee Hays and Mon
day Durant (white) will hand over to
her leases and cash, beside farms and
mortgages, aggregating more than a
million dollars.
Sallie Reed, a married minor, wife j
of Curtis Reed of Muskogee, a busi- j
ness man of the race, has been strug- j
gling along on $150 per month allow'- J
anee, but will have little less than a
million when she reaches her majority
in September. Many legal fights have
been waged with white business men
and lawyers over the control of these
properties, and more trouble may be
expected.

TO CUT WHEAT
USE ONE-HALF
Military Necessity Demands That
Each American Eat Only 1V2
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 tills is a
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000,000
bushels a month us against our nor
ma! 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 Adminis
tration at Washington. Reserving a
margin for distribution to the army
and for special eases, leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately 1 v4
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 he durable
and therefore requires a larger propor
tion of wheat products than cereal
breads linked in the household. Our
army and navy require a full allow
ance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the con
sumption 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 popula
tions.
With Improved transportation condi
tions 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 hu
man 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 nre wholly, dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules alinII he observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
n total of 1 % pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than TJ4 pounds of
Victory bread containing tiie required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking Hour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheutless 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 brendstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, rakes, Wheat
breakfast cereals, containing n total
of more than two ounces of wheat
Hour. No wheat products to tie served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con
forming with tiie limitations requested
of the householders.
,’i. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of n barrel of Hour to any
town customer at any one lime 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 linkers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of thu three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in ottier weights. We ilso ask bakers
not to Increase the amount of their
wheat Hour purchases beyond 70 per
cent, of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March 1.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There Is no limit tqion (he use of
other cereals, Hours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato Hour, et
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and arc
doing so In perfect health and satisfac
tion. There Is no reason why all of
the American people who are able lo
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds u week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of tiie community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are ab
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera
tion of the public by n further limita
tion of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will he adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should he tilde to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and co-operation of tiie distributing
trades.
FOOD CONTROL
MEANS VICTORY
European Shortage Places Prob
lem Before American Govern
ment—Farsighted Policy
Adopted.
_
NEED 75,000.000 BU. WHEAT.
Food Administration Asks Aid of
Every American in Gigantic
Task of Feeding Millions,
It is the food problem over there
that makes a food problem over here.
If we wished to he supremely selfish—
and supremely shortsighted—we could
go on euting us much as we like and
whatever we like, without much diffi
culty or interruption—at least, until
the Germans came!
But we are not doing things in that
selfish and suicidal way. VVe are try
ing to make a great common pool of
all of our food, and all of the food of
the allies, and all of the food we can
get from South American and other
neutrals, and dividing it up fairly
among America, England, France, Bel
gium arid Italy.
This does not mean that all of the
people in the great pool are going to
have the same ration, but means that
we are trying to arrange to have
enough for everybody, so that the sol
diers—our soldiers and their soldiers—
will be well fed, as they have to be
to fight hard and continuously, and
that the munitions workers and the
workers in all the other necessary in
dustries, and the men and women at
home will all have enough to keep
alive and well. It is absolutely neces
sary to do this If the war is to be won,
and we nre going to do it, but It means
planning, working, arranging, co-oper
nting, being careful, not wasting, sav
ing.
And It means that each and every
one of us has got to help.
Now, we have enough and more than
enough food for ourselves, and the
Government is going to see to it that
we keep here at home a sufficient sup
ply of every essential kind of food to
support our people. But over there
they simply have not enough. Lord
Rhondda, the English food controller,
recently cabled the Americai food ad
ministrator, that unless we can send
the allies before the next uropean
harvest 75,000,000 bushels of wheat in
addition to what had been sent up to
January 1 of this year he could not
assure the people of the allies that
they would have a sufficient supply of
food to carry on the war.
lie did not say anything in this cable
about the other food necessary, but
he hns told of these needs In other
cables—and by bis actions in England.
For example, bis latest regulation
compels a reduction of meat ealing In
the United Kingdom to a maximum of
one pound per week per person, this
pound • Including the bone and other
waste parts in the meat as bought in
the shop.
The allies must have more wheat,
more meat, more fats, more dairy prod
ucts, more sugar. Their harvests were
very short—France had less than half
her normal crop of wheat—and the
available shipping Is smnll In amount
and constantly being lessened by sub
marines, so that it is now practically
Impossible to use any ships for the long
voyage necessary to bring food from
Australia and other remote markets.
The food must come chiefly from
America. In specific figures it Is nec
essary for us to send to the allies
1.100,000 tons of foodstuffs a month.
This Is a great responsibility and a
great problem. The fond must be
found, and also the ships to carry it.
It is being done, but can only continue
to be done by the help and full co
operation of all of us over our broad
land. VVe must produce and save
more.
To supply the wheat necessary until
the next harvest, we must reduce our
consumption by from one-fourth te
one-third ; we must cut down our usual
average consumption of meats and
fat* by from 10 to 15 per cent, and
dairy products by about 10 per cent.
Over there they are tightening their
belts and doing everything they can.
They are eating war bread ; they are
cutting down their sugar in England
to two pounds per person per month,
and In France and Ilnly to one pound—■
how much are you eating?—and they
are using ration cards for most of the
staples. VVe must meet sacrifice with
sacrifice. If we don't, we are helping
to lose the war instead of helping to
win It.
