Evidences are accumulating that the habit or saving among the Amorlcan people, especially among the patrons of savings bunks and pos tal savings, is outstripping the finan cial demands made upon the govern ment. While no exact figures are avall aglo at present, it is known that pos tal savings deposits havo steadily gained during the yeur 1917, and not ably Bince the first of July of that year, which was oHor the first Usue of tho liberty loan. The reports from Bavlngs banks also show a steady gain, and the Baine is true of co-operative building and loan associations. Nor have the people of small means been the only Buyers. It Is estimated that the savings of the whole people of the United States, ordinarily o,000,000,000 to C 000,000,000 annually, were Increased to $14,000,000,000 to $15,000,000, 000 in 1917. The response of the people to the national need of economy and sav ing has been general nnd generous. The foundation of society rests on Its home. The success of the homo rests on the wives. Therefore, first of all teach our girls how to be suc cessful wives. Begin oarly to train their character. Teach them that Jealousy is an immorality and gossip a vice. Train them to keep the Smallest promise sacredly and to speak to people only as thoy would speak to them. Teach them to look for the best qualities In evryone they meet, and to notice other people's faults only to avoid them. Train them to do small things well and to delight In helping others, that sacrifice made for other's pleasures is a means of soul development. Once given a firm foundation of char acter like this, which the poorest as well as tho rlchoBt parents enn give to their girls, nnd no matter what necessity arises thoy will he able to rise above It. Food Enough to Furnish Complete Yearly Rations for 57,100,000 People Sent Allies by U. S. in Past Three and One-Half Years From July 1, 1914, to January 1 1918, the United States exported to the European allies sufficient food to furnish complete yearly rations for 57,100,933 people, in addition there was a surplus of protein capable of supplying this portion of the diet for 22,194,570 additional men. These llgures were compiled by the United States food administration, Hussla received only a small por tion of tho enormous total. Statistics compiled by the food administration show that the thruo and a halt years' exports in terms of nutritive units totaled 08,159,934,000,000 calories. Of this amount only 52,017,000,000 calories went to Hussla. England, France, and Italy received 08,107, 917,000,000 calories more than 99 per cent of the total. Of nearly all commodities, by far the largest amountB have gone to the United Kingdom. In the case of oats oleomargarine, and corn oil cake and meal the amount exported to France has exceeded that of the other coun tries, while Italy has been tho larg est recipient of corn oil and syrup. The total -export of wheat and wheat Hour to the three principal allies Is equivalent to about 284. 000,000 bushels, or an average of about 110,000.000 bushels per year. Tho pork exports for the three and a half years amounted to almost 2,000,000,000 pounds. This Includes nil pork products bacon, hams, shoulders, lard, neutral lurd, frosh and pickled pork. Tho sugar exports to tho three principal alllos show a yearly aver age of about 648,000,000 pounds. Grains and wheat maintained a steady lead. The three and a half years' exports of wheat (grain and flour) totaled 383,940,577 bushels. OatB ran second, with a total of 212, 761,197 bushels; corn third, 24,310, 299 bushels; rye next, 3,018,002 bushels, . During the three and a half years the United Kingdom received enough food to furnish complete ruttons for 27,334,441 people for one year. This would supply rations for a yearly average of almost 8,000,000 people. In auuitlon to this there was a large excess of fats and also an excess of protein. France received sufficient food to furnish complete rations tor about 15,000,000 people a little more than one-hair the number supplied in Englund. Ituly received ubout one-fourth as much as went to Eng land complete rations ror about 7,200,000 mon. All three received material ex cesses of fats and protein. The exports of frosh beer amount ed! to 443,484,400 pounds ill the three and a half years. The butter exports to the three principal allies and Russia showed a grand total of 28.998,891 pounds.

Objec tions to the treatment being ac corded tho farming classes in govern ment rulings rolutive to commodities were voiced at the last meeting of the Turner Grange. The Grangers agreed that the farmers have not been fair ly dealt with, particularly relative to the potato market and held that rulings of this yoar will not encour- ago a big crop next year. A resolution was adopted disap proving tho high price of farm ma chinery, binding twlno and other farm necessities. Among other reso lutions adopted was one favoring the lowering of the price of wheat flour substltutes as far as consistent with the welfare of tho country. A reso lution to oppose unnecessarily high salaries for officials was adopted. The Grangers doclded to oppose the appointment of a county agricul turist for the coming year. It was decided1 the money could better be spent for good roads and community welfare. FRUIT AND VEGETABLES REPLACE WHEAT, FATS By Associated Press.) EUGENE, Or., Marcn 15. The necessity of using fruit and veget nbles in order to save wheat and fats for the soldiers is being emphasized by Miss Lillian Tingle, head of the household arts department of the University of Oregon. "America has the finest veget ables," Miss Tingle says, "but she cooks them the most unscientifically and tastelessly." In order to bring out the flavor better, she suggests that the veget ables for a soup of stew be put Into a pan containing a small amount of fats, that a lid be put on this and that thus, witnout browning them, the vegetables be allowed to "sweat" bo that the julcos will be brought out. Tho use of greens, especially chick weed and' wild mustard is urged. A favorite story Is botng peddled that sweaters which are knit for sol diers are being sold by merchants In various parts of the state. It's u Ho. Go out and prove It by trying to buy one, or by trying to find the fellow who sold one, or Iho fellow who bought one. A movement Is on In Oregon to mako evory day a speechless day so far as idle gossip Is concerned. In advertising, nlways say what you bellevo if you want people to believe what you say. This is groat weather for "hitting her up" on tho woslern front or the buck yard garden.

Harpham, forest supervisor at Piine- vllle, from his brother, Everett IS Harpham, formerly of Roseburg and whose mother is now a resident of this city. The letter wns forwarded to the district forest office in Port land'. It is as follows: Would like to tell you more about where I am, but foci that such in formation would he held up by l li censor. 1 was unfortunate In being aboard the TUBcania when she was torpedo- ed in the North channel and had not the slightest idea of ever getting out of the mess alive. They hit us about 0 o'clock (dark) In the even lag, and as the torpedo struck the engine room the ship could not beach herself, ulthou&Ji we were In sight of land. Ours was the Inst life boat to reach the water, but did so in fine shape. We drifted about upon the rough waters in the channel, dipping water to keep from foundering, at the same time keeping the boat aright with the waves. I saw the big ship go down and one could have heard the roar and rush of water upon her upper decks for miles. I do not believe there was a living soul aboard when she plunged as all had previously taken to the life boats or were rescued by the destroyers. However, little did we in the life boats realize what was ahead of us Wo drifted about for hours, thinking perhaps we would be picked up, but It would have been suicide for the larger boats to try to rescue us after dnrk In waters where the submarine was lurking. So w,e continued to ball water, dodge the rocks and hope, until finally we sighted what looked like an Island with trees upon it. We steered toward It but found -that Instead of trees, the objects we saw wero cliffs of rocks. Then we tried' to row away, but had drifted so nenr that tho break ers wore taking us faster than we could row In the overcrowded boat. The officer in command raised In our boat and threw his' electric flash light against the rugged shoals only a stone's throw ahead, and we could see the white foam dashing high on the rocks. Each breaker took us nearer until finally. our boat struck a terrific crash and broke In a dozen ploces and after Ifat it was each man for himself. Hoy Muncaster, a ranger from the Olympic who enlisted when I did, did not hnve on a life belt and 1 am sure ho was drowned. 1 was taken un- uor by the waves, hit against the rocks nnd finally, by some act of Providence, was thrown high on a rock where I manager to hang until 1 was able to crawl above the high est waves. The cold wind just about finished me. but six of us, including a lieutenant, managed to huddl to gether under a rock where we lny in the water and mud for five hours be foro daylight, when a Scotch High lander living on a plateau above, rescued us. Ho was told of the dis aster by a soldier who was not hurt upon landing. Out of about f0 In my lifeboat only seven camo out alive. We wero treated royally by tho Scotch people and I went to a hotel with others, where we roceived medical attention and kind' attention other wise. 1 was badly bruised in several places and had an Internal bruise on my left side, but am getting along tine. s All my personnl equipment was lost when the ship went down excepting a littlo money loose In my pocket. However, I think the Red Cross and army together will re placo some of the stuff. Tho American consul wns just In to see me nnd anything I need bad ly will be looked after. I have tho best ot care and will be with my bat talion .beforo long, I think. There are lots of fellows from the wost coast (Pacific) In my bnttaliou. FOR SALE -S. C.
