As a great i) any consider the election was il firal. for the want of proper publi ation. they remained away, and i lie dirorton. of the district attempt o levy the tax voted the electior ill le contested. The main objec-1 ion In the budget, as prepared, was o the item of $ ton for the convey nu of children to and from school "his by many is considered extra rdinary. as the children of two o be familv to be transported to tin rbool li e within a short distan if the school building, anil their par uits are well able to sve that t he et to the Mhool without outside as dstanre. As a matter of providinc or transportation for children who ie within two miles of the school 'milding is discretionary with the 'ire. tors, and not mandatory, ninny "eel that the directors are using poor liscretion in tainn the pemde of th 'strict for this purpose. They might as well eipplov their automo tiles and carry the ehild'-en in town 0 and from school,. Why make flesh of one and fi.-b of the other?

Pluiumer. member of the Portland school board, publicit) ma if. member of the administrative lepart of the N. K. A. .and a member of the Food Conservation Hoard of the State of Oreaon. addressed the High School this morning on "Con servation" in Its various phases. Mr. (Mummer dwelt on the necessity of saving every article of food that can he shipped to the hoys at the tront "We do not realize." he Raid "why we should have a meatiest lav. why we should have a w heat- less day, and why we should have :i butterlesN day. People will stuiU to themselves and for one day they will go without meat, then the next dav thev eat double the amount It is the food we wnnt. not the money. We may think t'mt we just must sit still, and that our enemy across the water will starve out. Hut (iermany is self-supporting, and with the country s-he has taken in Belgium and Kussia, she w ill last indefinitely as far a supplies are on corned. And at the same time our hoys at the front may he starved for the very thing they need to make the best soldiers' of them." Mr. Plummer made a very strong plea for the conservation campaign to be started all over the Fnited States in the near future, ' For.'' he -aid. "the entire food siutaution de pends upon America. France and Kngland cannot help us; they will have all they can do to take care ot 'heir own peovle. Hut we can profit by their example. If the people of the country will eat nuts, honey or anything of the sort in place of but ter ami sugrar, then our men at the rout will hae the proper foot) ma eriaW. and we at home will be just as well off. If the men back of the lines are not getting enough v then t hey cant give their best to t heir ountry. Tuesday has been desig nated as a meatless day. and Wed nesday as a wheatless day. On Tues lay eat chicken, birds and meats ol hat sort and rave the red meats for the soldiers. And the next day go .vithout wheat in any form; use rye 1 nil the brans. They are pa la tab! and nutritious. One slice of bread 1 day means winning the war. and a loal a week from every one will have pledged enough bread to feed an army. Next Monday every hny and girl in the Fnited States will receive n Hoover card and for the next five lay a tboiough study will be mad of the card. Then when the mother receives one. any child should b able to explain to his mother 1n wh'it eah phrase and clause meam and why such saving will he of bene fit. Kverj- home will have an oppor tunity to ?ign one of these cards. and in every home where one 1 signed and (tie instructions followed another card will be put in the front w indow, and I hope there w ill not be a home in Houglas County where such a card Is not on display," con cluded M r. Plum mer. Conservation In education was al jo discussed by t he spea kor. who urges every hoy to remain in school as long as possible, for "one boy of or with a good education Is worth three hoys who are young ' r and not -o well educated." If tin war keeps on, there will be a great demand for 1 1 aim-d men in main different phases of w 01 k and tb person who is trained will get the Job. France has done more w It b her educational system since the war began than at any time before, and Kngland is doing the same. And America will do the same and is al ready beg inn i rig. At the out break of our ttouble with (Iermany. Pre-j dent WiKnn urged eerv boy who po1bly cniild to continue in s-bnol. The more edu ation one has the b t- repoDl:bl position in the world's arf.uri. Tho beaker concluded the ad I dress bv announcing tint the Hoover cards will be placed in the various organization of the city which par ticular one to he announced later and that for the week beginnmK October 21. every housewife in houg las County would he asked to till out and sign one of them. Full par ticulars of the campaign will be an nounced, later. I'ltl PAUK roil FHOVT. When frost is imminent and pro tection is not possible or practicable, vegetables likely to be injured should be gathered and canned, dried, pickled, preserved, or stored. Those that cannot be saed from exposure to freezing should, if possible, be gathered before thawing takes place. In the case of potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, all vines should be cut off at the surface of the ground alter the occurence of frost. Treiilinent for Tomatoe. Tomatoes- may be pulled up. plants and all. and hung tops downward in a dark place, preferably a cellar. When treated in this way the fruit will ripen nicely and slowly and will be available for table use for a long time after the plants hae been re moved from the soil. Fruit that is very immature should be removed from the vines and nicy he used for pickling or In other ways. If facili ties for hanging the vines are lack ing, the tomatoes' nearing full growth will ripen satisfactorily If wrapped separately in paper and stored in a dark place. Many vegetables such as cabbage and turnips are not harmed by ordin ary frost and need no spocial pro tection. In fact, such root vegetables as carrots1, parsnips, and salsify. are Improved bv freezing and are cu tomarily left in the ground until needed. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. (Sutherlin Sun.)
