"We IN eating Kurdish style now. and our belts are pretty loose," write- Wdmcr Boyer whose communication was printed in last week's issue of the Argus. That statement from one of the boys that almost evei'y reader of the Argus knows, or knows of. is worth pondering Upon. It is significant. It shows that the English jM'oplc nre not being fed to the Standard whieh our husky voting OregOtl friend is used to. and that means thai each of UR here at DOOM is being better fed than are our allies. Taken together with the statement made last week by Herbert Hoover that America, due to the rail shortage Is i5,000, 000 bushels short on its promises of wheat to Kurop''. Mr. Boyer 's statement is convinc ing that on America is falling tin1 real duty of feeding her co-warriors and that as yet, she is not making good. At least it is ap parent that the supply being sent is not us great as it should be. In view of the abundance that is here and tho we have adopted meatless mid wheatless days to save more food for them it can not be said of us: "we are eating En gltah style and OUT belts mv loose." Think of Winner Mover's meeaage the next time you are tempted to violate the letter and the spirit of the food regulations. Every time a on do that you are not only depriving some tjf our allies of enough food to properly feed "Yne who is cugaucd with the same enemy, hut as well you are helping to keep the bit of some American soldier boy loose. UP TO THE COUNCIL. Ontario's future is in the hands of the 'ity OouneiL The people have shown that they want a real water system and have put the problem squarely up to the City ('nun eil to see that the proper system is secured. There is OUly one thing to lie regretted about the election of laat slonday, That is the siae of the rote. Instead .if being 278 Votes .;ist there should have been a larger Dumber. It true that there was a inisan prehension on the part of manj voters who entertained the notion that the medieval re strietiou of property holdings was still op erative lor a bond ileet ion. Also owing to the weather many of the women voters did )li)t gO to the polls. It must not lie imagined bowever that by He 'oiimil the right t. spend 100,(MNI for a w.iler system that the t phoid problem has been thorol) solved. That is not all that is uecessaiy, Ontario must be cleaned id' the surface tilth and it must Rta( i lean. Ill- not enough to ju-t eh an up a little Lit. Guess tin Rastside folks want Tweuti tb 'i hi in conditions in w bleh to lac. Witin w ih, petition that went living over that ction within l'I hours after the water bonds earned. There Is nothing like u-iinu after w hat on want, w hen mi want it. That old wilful dozen just had to show Up .mam. Maybe Ontario's doseu did not understand the proposition. ..

Now that the arrangements have been lliadt for the hie. s.;le alld the people both in the Country and in the City have donated so generously . it is important that the goods be sold at prices which will make the so eietj money, The prices can go to the sky, so far as the feelings of anyone Is concern ed, the money will be used to a good purpose anyway. Nothinu should be sold for less than it is really worth. To do that would be p. depreciate the spirit of the giver.
