There is no doubt of the result, but It depends upon the whole American people and not alone, upon our 'fighting men. We who remain in safety at home must do our part, work, economize, save and support the finances of the government. In dustry, saving and lending to the gov ernment are now national needs and national duties. A single thrift stamp will buy a tent pole or five tent pins, a waist belt or hat cord, shoe laces or Iden tification tags; two will buyi one trench tool or a pair ot woolen gloves. Four thrift stamps will buy two pairs of canvas legglns, six will buy five pairs of woolen socks or three suits of summer underwear;! twelve will buy a steel helmet. One war saving stamp will buy one hun dred cartridges or cartridge belt or a Bcubbard for a bayonet, two will purchase two pairs of woolen hreecheB or two flunnol shirts, two and a half will buy a gas mask. Three war savings stamps will buy an overcoat or two woolen service coats, three and a half will buy three pairs of woolen blankets, four will buy a rifle. A comlmttee composed of mem- bora of the local home guard was soliciting funds yesterday for the purpose of defraying a part of the expense of the uniforms to be se cured by this organization and the efforts of the committee was readily responded to by the "boys" who go to make up the organization, mat the willingness of the county court to stand sponsor for a part of the eaulnment has met with the approv al of our citizens generally Is made known by the many expressions of approval announced the past lew davs and has created an Intense in terest among all the members who are taking to the work like old "war horses." At the regular drill last evening the attendance was so large that It was Impossible to accom modate many who were anxious to affiliate with the organization ana it may be possible that another com pany will be formed in order to serve tne patriotic cuizons wno wmn to enlist their services for tne pro testlon of the home folks. The coun ty court 1b to be commended for their spirit of patriotism in lending their encouragement In a substantial manner to eighty or more recruits who are attending drill reguiariy, and may later be a cog In the world conflict now m progress.

It Is not the political rights wo men claim that will unsex them and make them unwomanly. It 1b the way In which they some limes try to acquire those rights. You can always find some one that objects to most any oldi thing that happens in a community and there are -some people who have such a habit of being "fornlBt" any and all IhlngB that If they Bhould over get their eye on anything that really looked good to them they would probably collapse, which would necessitate a hurry up call for the undertaker which, by the way, wouldn't be so bud alter all.

Gov ernor Stewart, of Montana, today re ceived the resignation of Judge Charles Crum, whose impeachment trial was recently sot for March 20, before the U. S. senate. Judge Crum was charged with uttering sedulous and disloyal remarks against the government some time ago. Judge Crum in a statement made today de clared that he has taken the pies ent action because he was unable to stand any more trouble, he having reached the limit of human endur ance and that the . impeuchment trial would give his enomles the op portunity of distorting his state ments. The judge denies ull disloy ally charges but admits that he may have boen "possibly reckless" in his statements of the administration's war policy. Governor Stewart has not as yet acted upon the resigns tlon of Judge Crum. Mr. and Mrs. Ira Conger, of Sac City, Iowu, arrived hore last evening and are vlslling at tho home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

THE CASS STREET GROCERY, PHONE 279 j BELGIAN LITTLE ONES , A month ago the women of the Red Cross unit for the relief of French and Belgian babies gave a noon meal down town, which the public- very generally attended. With the 183 proceeds the unit purchased material which it has made into warm little garments for the needy children across the seas. Altogether there was money enough to furnish goods for nearly fifteen complote layettes. Now the unit Is in need of more funds, and plans to servo another good substantial meal next Saturday noon in the building opposite the Hamilton drug store. The price Is only 26 cents and the ladles hope to serve a large number. The cause Is a most worthy ono. Every cent of the proceeds goes towards clothing suffering little ones. There will be an Interesting window display of work already done. The ladies who have the meal in charge are Mrs. Dexter Rice, Mrs. Walter Hamilton, Mrs. Roy Bellows, Mrs. Charles Wharton.

Two car loads of broccoli have been shipped from this city to the John Nix Co., of New York City, since the season opened and accord ing to an official of the Umpqua Val ley Fruit Union it is expected that 60 cars will go from the county to the eastern concern. Although the broccoli brought $1.40 per crate last season it ia now being sold for $1.25 per crate and it is thought that be cause of the excellency of the pro duct that the easterners will advance the price to a record figure before the season closes. The utmost care is taken in the shipment of the broc coli as like all perishable products It requires careful refrigeration in order to reach the buyers in a good condition.

The Ford home and five adjacent houses were wrecked by n bomb. tloned there, which reported that the war department would not or could not drain that swamp, and that health conditions were not improv ing. The Red Cross investigated and found that the war department could not improve the swamp be cause It Is limited by congress to spending money only upon lands which the government owns or upon which it gipssesseg a right of ease ment; and to dig a ditch to drain the swamp, for the war department, would be Illegal. iiut it was not Illegal Tor the Red Cross people. They shot a steam shovel down to Georgia, and while the war department was still consid ering the situation, the Red Cross had the swamp drainage well under way. There will be a considerable re duction In both mosquitoes and ma laria In that section this summer, the Red Cross workers say. NOTICE. RED CROSS AGAIN CUTS WAR DEPT.
