The "Stars and Stripes," an American newspaper' published In France by Yankee soldiers, sums up the kaiser in the following Inn guage: "In 1905 the kaiser awarded to Mr. Wilson-Marshall, of New York, winner of the ocean yacht race In that year, an alleged gold cup which he declared to be worth so.uuu. uo cently Mr. Wilson-Marshall decided to auction off the cup for the benem of the Red Cross. It brought $125,000 and the successful bidden- had it sent off to a dealer's to be cleaned and put In Shane. "The dealer assayed and tested It, and then reported that, instead of be ing of gold, the cup was made or Gor man pewter, and that, fur from be ing worth the .15,000 the kaiser claimed for It, it was only worth S35. "There Is really no need for com ment on the occurrence. It is meroly put Into the record here to show that even In the matter of yncht race prizes as far back as 1905, the kaiser was practicing for the day when he expected to sou the whole world the gold brick of kultiir. In other words, Wllhelm was merely running true to form." While the senate was discussing the injustices that have arison be cause the food administration fixed the price of wheat flour and requir ed the purchase of substitutes the price of which was not flxod, Senium Curtis, of Kansas, road tho follow ing statement from ono of his con stituents: "My neighbors complain that In the new food schedule the prices charged for substitutes are ex cessive. Flour Is $2.75, or 5 Vj cents per poirnd, while tho substitutes all are sold at 10 cents per pound corn meal 10 cents, barley Hour 10 cents, etc Now, I buy corn "and got It ground at a little mill at Hart ford, Kans. I pay 15 cents per hun dred for grinding. He keop the bran and gives me 40 pounds of menl per bUBhel. - This makoB tho moal cost me 314 cents per pound. A comparison with schedule prices will show that the poor pooplo of this country are paying 6 cents por pound more on this article of food than It costs, or nenrly 200 por cent above cost." The system which pro duces higher prices for the poorer food product was criticized by several scnutors. Tho HunB on tho Marno speeded up so faBt yesterday to get nway from the Yankees it beenmo nccos sary for the latter to use thoir cavalry in order to keep up with tho fleeing enemy. The Western Union Itself, by mail ing messages now and thon mnde the first movo toward amalgamating tho postoffice and the telegraph service. It is now denied that the ex-czar has boon slain; so Old Nick will have to wait a spoil boforo mooting young Nick. Austria may not know whore It's going but It certainly Is on Its way. Wings of riches enable thorn to fly up and roost on tho highest branchcB. It politics la adjourned, enn't tho vice-president have a third term, too? The Busy Stoppers, a ladles" club at Olalla, yesterday turned In a quill to the Red Cross in this city. There is surely Bometlilug In a name, as I Ills Is the seventh quilt turned In to tho Red Cross by those patriotic women who are giving nnioJi of their time t aid In the great work for tho boys "over there." A WOMAN'S SHOP FOR WOMAN'S WEAR We Cater toYourWants and specialize to meet the de mands of our army of customers THE BELLOWS STORE THE LADIES' EXCLUSIVE . NOTICE TO PATRONS. .' ' , : '4 ' Newspapers have come under government survey, and pub- Ushers are asked to conserve the ubo of paper stock to the greatest possible degree. Com- pllmentary copies, copies to correspondents, sample copies, all of which may have been sent out free, are to be elim- inatod. Subscribers who have received the paper tor uny length of time and fulled to pay for It, are under the ban; The News will endeavor to meet the requirements of the government, in this connection It becomes necessary to speak a word more particularly to tho city subscriber whose paper goes to tho postoffice. Many of these valued patrons frequently drop in at the publication of- flee and get an extra copy. Then there Is the subscriber who gets his paper at the counter each evening. Fre- quently two or even three members of a family come in the same evening and pick up a copy. One paper in itself is a trifling thing. Hut where sev- eral dozen go out each even- lng, often two or three copies to one family, the thing be- - comes burdensome to the pub- Usher. The cost for this loss is considerable for a year. Tho waste of paper 1b large, and the government says It must be cut out. Therefore, we are asking - that subscribers who got their paper at the desk or through the postofllco, take heed and please not duplicate their copy, thoreby helping us to obey this conservation order.

It Is doHirud to make the Rosuburg Chautauqua session the big event ot tha ttouuun We quote below one of America's greut writers on this American insti tution: "One of the host Institutions In this country Is the Chautauqua sum mer platlorm. Certainly In the streps of these tlmoB it should be prcscrveu If any Institution Is to be preserved. It does a variety of things that havo groat need should be done now. It brings to people who are harrnssed by the thought of the future. Deal: by entertainment, something different from what they got in their towns It brings u fresh element into the so cial life of the town a very desir able thlng'pai-ticularly in tho sinnllor communlty. It will give stimulating ideas about the great questions that tho country must understand and study. Everything now depends upon ttio country keeping Its mind steady and active and inspiring people to a full co-operation in the undertakings of tho government. The Chautauqua platform will do this in n wonderful!:' direct way. Every community ought to be willing to sacrifice. If neces sary, to keep Chautauqua ullvc In the community."

PLACED CUSS ONE Howard Starrett, son of the mil Honairo lumberman of tho 11 rm of Starrett & Hovoy, has boon placed In class one of the draft by the ap peal board for the second district of Oregon, says the Eugene Guard. Starrett, who has been In charm of the firm's extensive holdings In Lane county, was originally placed In class one, but was later given a deferred classification upon a allow ing that he was the head of a boom company which would be furnish ing large quantities of logs to the mills. The district board Iuib again placed him In class one, because no actual logging operations have been carried on. Starrett has been in Detroit, Midi., for several months. The board In reclassifying htm took the view that he Is non-productive. Starrett, in connection with his first classification in class one, ap pealed to tho president, but tho dis trict hoard had reconsidered its ac tion and placed him in class three beforo any action was taken in con nection with this appeal. Sergeant H. J. Robinson arrived in this city this morning on train No. 53 to attend to special duties for the military police headquarters at Camp Lewis. He will return to his camp tomorrow.
