COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER '
the nation culls upon tho son to serve,
and the father to sacrifice.
For if the boy .does not come buck
tho f.-tlier c.iiuiot have quite the store
of memories of the mother, and if lie
does come brck as most of them
will he will hrve spent the time
that might have been the father's ,
with other men and tu other scenes. !
And though he nir.y be a bigger, j
stronger and better man fur it, dud '
and ho will never quite touch the Intl-!
niicy they would otherwise nuve
kuown.
So without belittling the beauty
and holiness cf tho mother's sacrifice,
I speak this brief word for tho brave,
quiet, tearless sacrifice of dad.
Portland News, o
ing this courso the war department
has pluced Itself iu lino with the best
thought and practice which modern
police exporlonco hus developed.
This policy Involves, of courso,
constant vlgtlncco on tho p:rt of the
police, not only In eliminating regu
lar houses of prosttutlou, but in
checking the more or less clandes
tine class that walks the streets and
is apt to frequent lodging houses and
hotel.
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it
stands, one Nation Indivisible, with
Liberty and Justice for All."
HOW ABOUT DAI) AM) THE HOY?
"There's been a lot written about
the brave mothers who are giving
their sons to war. And no one will
quarrel with the words of praise
uttered in their behalf. It is impos
sible to overestimate the sacrifice
they make in the service of their
country.
"But I want to speck ebout tho
fathers.
"A boy's babyhood and youth be
long very largely to his mother. His
father and he may be tho best of pals,
but because the father ic at work all
day, while the mother is at homo,
there cannot be the same intimacy.
"It is not until the boy merges into
manhood, till he rep.chos thp.t time in
his life when he is rcidy to play the
game with men, that father and son
find themselves In a closer relation
ship. Then did discovers that the
"kid" talks his language, and jhe
"kid" learns that dad is not only
dad but a bully good companion, and
friend, who understands his point of
view as no mother, however loving,
can hope to understand.
This Is the time when the father
and aon plan toge.her on the boy's
immediate and more distant future,
when they havo long smoke-talks and
look more deiply into each other's
hearts and souls than ever before.
And it is Just at this place in their
lives that war cteps in and separates
them. It is just at this period that
WHERE THE REIJEF OF HKU
till'M HAS COM E FROM.
The commission for Belgian relief,
according to William M. Hounold, its
director in the United States, has col
lected $200,000,000. This country
has given $9,000,000, and part of
this was food and clothing. The
British government, although financ
ing several of Its allies as well as It
self, relieves the Belgians to the
amount of $60,000,000 yearly. The
French government, although France
is iu straits to meet its own require
ments, succors the Belgians to the
extent of $2,000,000 each month.
Australia has given $1.23 from each
Australian, New Zealand $1.98 from
each of its citizens, Canada 18 cents
from every Canadian.
More than half that is, $125,000,
000 of the $191,000,000 contributed
by other countries for the succor of
Bolgtum has been spent In the,
United States for the purchase of
American supplies. The profit from
this transaction has been at least
$15,000,000.
THE KHiHT )l E A
"Buy at home" ts the right Idea
for the person who desires to sae
this city grow and prosper. It Is a
scrn.on which offers no opportunity
for adverse argument. There is no
need of sending money out of St.
Helens for articles which can ba pur
chased here. The practice of buying
away from homo is a detriment to
any community and our town will
never be the town It should be until
wo burn the lesson of trading at
homo.
Things are beginning to look
brighter congress has udjuuruod.
Herbert Hoover says fruit is much
healthier if euteu with tho skin on
it. Wonder It that includes pineapples.
"i'lnnt potatoes and nil so chick
ens," says an ad In an exchange.
Verily, hers Is a problem tor Luther
Burbank.
Even newspapermen are now sub
ject to the Inconio tax, showing you
need mighty little Inconio to come
under this tax.
If marriod couples hold each
other's rights as sacred as they con
sider their tooth brushes tlioo would
ba fewer divorces.
XO RESTRICTED DISTRICT
Secretary of War Baker, among :
other instructions, has advised off i-1
clals of cities near army camps ai '
follows: I
Tho war department will not toler
ate the existence ot any restricted
district within an effective radius of
the camp.
Experience has proved that such
districts in tho vicinity of army i
camps, no matter how conducted, are
Jnevltably attended by unht'.ppy con
sequences.
The only practical policy which
presents itself in relation to this prob
lem is tho policy of absolute repres
sion, and I am confident ttu.t In tak-
One has only to read some of the
price fixing schemes emanating from
Washington to know that we need
a few business men on tho Job.
The Spokane, Portland & Seattle
Railway System lines In O-egon and
Washington made a splendid record
in improvement cf traffc conditions
In unison with the help-wln-the-war i
spirit of serve? wheh tho ralrouds
have manifested. These lines during
the month ot July handled an In
crease of 84 per cent In commercial
tonnage as compared with the sumo
month in 1916, with nn Increase of
28 per cent In the number ot freight
cars in service.
