Much of the fighting in this world wide war will be done behind the - Hnee that Ib, those who are not call ed upon to line up at the battle front . must necessarily take an active part and make an agresslve tight at home " . in various ways to suBaln, equip and maintain the mlguiy army that , wlll.be required to wage the tre mendous onslaught on our enemies who are endeavoring to place the en tire world under the dictatorship of individuals and . thereby crush and throttle the spirit of democracy so prevalent and loved by every true born and red-bloodedl American citi zen. Already a great work has been done by our people at home that has redounded with telling glory to the great old state of Oregon and there is still just as much more important ''work In the future to be accomplish ed as in the, past. And to accom plish this work it is at all times necessary to have a leader a person in whom there is no question of his ability, no reflection upon his char acter, nothing in his past business ca reer that would lead the most casual observer to lend an ear of distrust, in fact, he should be a man above reproach In every particular a peer among his fellflw associates. 'Every inch a man from top to bottom there must be ho camouflaging or the use of patriotic methods to "cover up" any delinquencies of the past, for those who contribute of their funds large or small will not encourage any uncertain risks. They want ev ery cent to count and patriotically giving their utmost to the nation's great war cause expect, and demand, that the fullest results possible be achieved. Locally, these matters can be ready ily adjusted, for what is one man's business in the small community us ually becomes everybody's especial ly In these war times and the-fact that this city and county has so gen erously contributed to all war meas ures so far advanced is flattering proof that the leaders and their lieu tenants, were men in whom the strictest confidence c'ould be placed, and had the faculty of presenting the issues in a clear, business-like manner, thetr Integrity unquestioned. But, carrying these patriotic drives from your home qommunity to the state at large clothes the undertak ing In an entirely different wardrobe. Here the faults and errors or any unbuslness-llke methods that have spotted the calendars of the past years are not so easily obliterated they don t "soak in" with the result that the effect of a worthy cause is lost in the channels of distrust, sim ply because there was a lack of faith in the leader's ability that spark of distrust that cannot be overcome and forgotten. Therefore, in the nation's war pro gram only true and' unflinching pat riots without a blemish on their career should lead any cause affect ing the world-wide struggle for dem ocracy. It's a man's job and the peo ple demand a, man, If they are to follow him "over the top"" in future drives in this state, and the issue should not be clouded in any mys terious manner. There are thous ands of individuals In the state equal to the taslc-'-and from this rank and file selections should be ma'le. A PATRIOTIC DUTY. Cleveland Moffett believes that public school teachers have a definite patriotic duty to perform in their daily work and has written a creed for their use which contains the fol lowing: I teach my pupils that their duty is first, last and all me time, to be loyal to the president of the United States, loyal to the allies of the united States, loyal to the military policy or the United States. I teach my pupils that when Ger many sank the Lnsitania, she sank St A Woman's Shop for Woman's Wear her right to be treated! aB a civilized nation. I teach my pupils that there is one thing in the world worse thou a Ger man enemy and that Is an American traitor, an American coward, an American slacker, an American pad fist. I teach them that treasonable utterances, spoken or written, are as dangerous to this republic as armed attack and must be punished by law and by the force of outraged public opinion. - I teach my pupils that a premature peace would be a world disaster that we are fighting a war for liber ty against German tyranny, and that having drawn the sword in a Just cause, we must never sheathe it un itptll Germany has been conquered punished and made pay or her crimes. I teach my pupils that they must defend with all their strength our precious heritage of American liber ty, and must be ready and glad to do their part in universal military train ing. X teach my pupils that this war has ceased to be a fight and has be coem a great world religion, a relig ion' of democracy, that we must be ready to die for, if need be, so that our children may live and be fvos, I inculcate in my pupils faith ihat the American people will dedicate their lives and! substance to these great ends, invoking the spirit of our fathers and the blessing of the God who never forsakes a righteous cause. . GOOD WAY TO HOOVERIZE. Most families take a morning and an evening paper jyith a five-pounder on Sundays. Here are four ways of making them do their bit after their first usefulness is over. Take out the illustrated and maga zine sections of the Sunday editions and send them overseas to some sol dier or to the Y. M. C. A. Eurbpeans say that American photographs of war scenes are the best they have. Cut from the papers material suit able for scrap books for soldiers in hospitals. These books are made from cambric, a piece 27 inches wide and 43 long being folded three times into a book of 1,6 pages. Cartoons war pictures, short poems, jokes, short stories and' anecdotes of well known men and women are ail ob tainable from newspapers and give pleasure to convalescents who are too feeble to hold a heavier book. For trench candles, cut the news paper page in two parts the long way of the sheet. Take 8 pieces placing the top edge of each an inch below the top edge of the piece below. Roll very tightly from the bottom, when the roll is finished paste across, dry, cut into four can dies, stand on end in a pan filled with melted parafineA When dry each 'candle burns an hour. They may be sent in tin boxes to soldiers or they may save gas or electricity at home. Fuel logs are made in the same way as trench candles, only larger. These newspaper 'logs do their bit handsomely when the coal supply runs low. As many thicknesses of papers as can be rolled conveniently are overlapped and rolled until the log is about as tnick as the upper arm. Then they are pasted across and when dry are cut into lengths suitable for grate or stove or open fire. Soaking them wrth kerosene converts them into long-burning fuel. Not content with putting fires be hind the bars, the fuel conservers now want to take the open fireplace away altogether. It will be difficult to be grateful on a grateless day. Whether he got it by absorption or telepathy, there is in Lloyd George's utterances evidence that he is now in possesion of American di restness and "punch." Von Tirpitz advises the German people to "keep cool.'.' From all ac counts they will keep cool and hungry for the rest of the winter. In Pleasant Valley, N. Y, the ther mometer registered 25 degrees be low zero-last week, and in Death Valley it was 72 in the shade. judging oy the translation of a boche hate hymn, the German lan guage might well be abolished in the interests of humanity. . , The first woman snow shoveller in New York quit rather than be pho tographed. Maybe her shovel wasn't on straight. If you think a house should have only one head, and that be yours, postpone your wedding indefinitely. In addition to being cold at this season of the year, ( all Canada is now sitting in a "draft". The Russians won't let the Ger mans kill them, but they don't mind killing themselves. 1 We Cater to your wants and specialize to meet demands of our army of customers Bellows j CITY DADS MEET REGULAR SESSION Bonds and Applications From Several Jitney Operators - Were Accepted. NO LOADS EXCEED10T0N Ordinance Regulating Weights of Ve hicles Up lor Final Passage Now Becomes Effective Gives Horse Away. , The common council of the city of Roseburg met in regular session last night. Councllmen Kldd, Nichols, Hamilton, McClintock, Bullwinkle, Powell and Creason answered roll call. The minutes of the previous assemblage were read! and duly ap proved. v City Recorder Whipple produced a letter from O. R. Willard, who is now in Bandon, Ore., asking that his Jitney license Which expired Decem ber 31, be renewed. The request will be granted. A communication from Mrs. F. B. Hamlin, regarding street paving mat ters" was then read. Mrs. Hamlin stated that she would be able soon to arrange for the payment of. delin quent street assessments on Win chester street. iNo action was taken in the matter. 'Ronrln and finnllcatlnnR from H. Guest, Agnes Guest as sunfly ; George McCulloch, A. E. McCulloch as sur ety; Dv R. Troxel, Mrs. R. Troxel as surety.; George Allen, G. W. Young as surety; D. C. McGeehe, J. F. Bar ker as surety,' seeking a license to operate cars for hire were read and duly accepted and approved. Several other jitney drivers are expected to make their applications in the near future. B. F. Shields, who operates the "31 string of jitneys, was permit ted to take out a license for the whole year upon advice furnished hv Cltv Attornev Carl Wlmherlv. Heretofore niotor bus licenses were only granted for six months. By purchasing the license for the year the applicant saves the sum of $1.50 In revenue stamps. Chief of Police T. J-. Williams) re ported that during the month of De cember he had impounded five head of cows and a like number of horses. He further informed the body that the "dark horse," the archaic hat rack that was picked up some time ago,' had! been given away before it had a chance to die. This bit of in formation seemed to meet the avow ed approval of the council. A. jE. Oeland, superintendent of the street cleaning department. handed in his written monthly report showing that- $347.88 was the sum required to maintain the street cleaning department for the month of December. The sum of $608.65 was allowed the city by the county court for work done on road districts in side the city limits. This amount will be placed in the general fund of the city. The ordinance regulating the weight of loads that shall be moved over the city's streets was up for final reading and was approved and accepted and now becomes effective. No loads including the weight of. the vehicle will be allowed to stand on or traverse the streets that exceeds 10 tons. For violation of this ordinance a fine of $100 can be imposed, or the alternate of 50 days in jail, or both. Mayor Rice Instructea City Re corder Whipple to draw a warrant in the sum of $5.00 with which to purchase stamps to be used in mail ing out official business. Councilman Creason took the floor and eloquently Informed! the body that the time was ripe to pur chase the dumping grounds now used by the city in disposing of refuge. Explaining, Mr. Creason was of the opinion- that the lot could be pur chased very reasonably and in view of the fact that the city was now paying a good rental for this particu lar piece of landscape it would be cheaper in the long run to purchase same. Mr. Creason, not wishing to conceal anything informed the body mat ne at one time owned this ground, but had sold At some time ago and as a consequence had) no in terest therein at present. Council man Hamilton, after thinking the matter over for some little time ex pressed himself as favoring the rent al, stating that there were other sites me city could secure in case the present dumping ground had to be moved, and the matter went no fur ther. , . ..-I Chief of Police Tom Williams, re ported that many comDlalnts hod been received regardlne the dimm ing oi ruoDisn near the Staggs wood ara, irom residents livine in that vicinny ana especially from Mrs Staggs. The matter was discussed at some length andl finally turned over to the health and police committee tor investigation. Mr. Williams further Informed the council or the fact that the nAvln- i me uunn ena oi uie Deer creek oriage was fast goine to nieceR and that some action should be taken at onee to remedy the defects. It -was orougnt out that the city had a five year guarantee of maintenance from the contractors, who would be re- quirea to make the necessary re pairs.
