The Associated Press Is exclusively With Huston out of the race it Is Stanfleldi and McNary "to the but" with the odds In favor of Stanfleld just at the present moment. The West - Olcott - McNary combination threw1 their hat' Into the political arena only to Jiave it "chewed up' by a member of their own family the lrrealstable Oswald West, who now aspires to become a democratic senator for the United States congress. The sooner Oregon voters "rub off" the elate this combination of astute politicians the better for all concerned.

The quartermaster corps, charged with the responsibility or leeamg ana clothing the soldiers, is rigidly in specting the food purchased for the troops to see that only pure articles are supplied. As an Indication of the amount of food that must .be obtained, says a statement authorla- . ed by the Quartermaster general, l.uOO.OOO men consume dally 1,500, oOO pounds of beet, 226,000 pounds of bacon, 210,000 pounds or nam, 135,000 cans of tomatoes, and i 226,000 cans of jam with other ar ticles aggregating 6,750,000. These quantities of food stuffs ore subjected to thorough inspection which, begin at the source and con tinue until the food Is actually com umed. Each depot of the quarter master corps Is a central subsistence business of its own, supplying tint cajmps. cantonments, aviation fields, and! other posts in its territory. The subsistence officers are held respon- . Bible for the quality of the goods they receive. Before the supplies reach the do- pots, however, they are passer! upon by inspectors In the packing housos. canneries, and other sources of ori gin. The records at Washington . show the capabilities, character, and standard of every establishment fur- niehlng food for the army. The specifications which their products must meet ere clear and exact. The inspection branch maintains a current file of unreliable dealers and -unreliable products, insuring the elimination of dealers, who, hav ing been denied the light to supply tone of the many depots of the army, make subsequent attempts to ob tain contracts at other points. We have been at war more than a year; we have sent on army over seas; we have shed our blood on the buttlo fields of France; yet the whole American people have not become partners in the great enterprise; first, for the reason that they have no acute realization of what it all means; second, because the majority of them hawe as yet no intimate per sonal stake In the struggle. When you read of millions of flgihtlng men In the 'European armies and of bll . lions of dollars being poured out on the rod altar, you are apt to lose sight of tiho large part that small things play In the conflict. Yet the whole stupendous effort is made pos sible by the sum of small units. Just as the war is being won by the pri vate soldier, so must the cost be de frayed by the private coin. The vast treasure recruited from a compara tively tow peopliop will not be so po tent a factor In determining the re sult as the money of the masses. In other words, the quarter that you put into a thrift stamp Is like the drop of water that makes the rush ing rivulet or the grain of sand that hulUls up the mighty shore. the young soldiers write they are young soldiers wrlto that they are "hitting her up " and getting aloug nicely. Young Riddle Is now operat ing a gasoline engine in a hospital, which supplies light for the institu tion and other quarters as well, and says that he likes his new post of duty, as It is a branch of the gov ernment work that he fully under stands. His engine is of French make and ho states that dt. runs "just like a clock". The company to which the two young men belong has not been ordered to the front to assist in quelling the Germans, ac cording to their letters, which were written early the present month, but they may get a hurry-up order at any moment to move to the front. A letter was received also today by I. B. Riddle from Bouseman Crosby, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Crosby, at Riddle. He Is with the aero squad ron and Is getting along nicely. UNIFORMS ARRIVE. Uniforms for the local Oregon guard arrived yesterday and at the regular drill this evening all the members who have received their suits will report In full uniform for drill work. . The suits very much re semble ' tho regular army uniform, both In cut and color andi it is ex pected that some very "charming" specimens of "physical fitness'' for soldier duty will be presented when the guard makes -Its initial appear ance in full uniform. But regard less of their "slvape" and "stylo" the boys aro all there, when It comes to patriotism and a decided interest is manifest among all of thein in the work to be done. The medical de partment Is getting into good shape and will soon become an Important part of 'the regular organization. 8. S. CONENTlOV CLOSES. SALEM, Or., April 27.

There Is going to be no disposi tion on the part of the voters of the great stato of Oregon to trade off a governor of the type of James Wlthy- combe for a fellow like Bon Olcott- not When a man of brains andl high executive ability is needed at .the head of stato affairs. Governor Wlthycombe should receive tho sup port of every loyal American citizen In the Btate. Ben Olcott the double office holder and Spanish athlete should be shoved to tho rear ranks until the stato needs a man of his calibre to dlroct its af fairs, which, by the way, Is certain ly not during the present critical time, Mayor Harley, of Astoria, can didate for governor on a "wot" plat form says if all those persons who have taken a. drink since tho state has gono bone-dry vote for lilm ho will bo elected hands down. But they won't thero's whore the rub comes In Hint will get Hniioy's goat. AMSTERDAM, April 28.

He was visiting Salem yes- day, calling on some of his old-time friends. Frank was a Salem boy. When he was a youngster he car ried papers and collected for the Statesman for several years.

OA OH WILL CONTINUE nn ;:l'TO.'.-.:;.::;--.; .HAY lltli READ WHAT MR. FISHER SAYS: While we have sold thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of merchandise since the opening of our great removal sale, we still have a great many dollars worth of men s goods that must and will be closed out completely, and many other lines, principally women's suits, coats and dresses that must and will be sold before we can think of moving into our smaller quartern Everyone knows it would be impossible to move this immense stock into our new store, so for that reason we have decided to continue our sale up to Saturday night, May 11th, and have reduced prices still greater in our desperate and final effort to reduce this stock at least one half. Such an opportunity as this comes but once in the ordinary lifetime. Every family should figure not only their present but future needs and take advantage of this most wonderful opportunity to save. As the war continues merchandise is going to be scarcer and scarcer every day, and there is no telling what kind of goods you will be able to get or what . kind of unreasonable prices you will be compelled to pay. , .. r DEPT.
