TRUE TO FORM.
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.

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.
Respectfully,
THIS PUUL1SI1ISR.

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

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.
