A ;tHl l.KMSON TO l.KAItN Some of us look upou tho food con servation campaign lightly. We see abundant crops grown near us and il is hard to behove there will be any food shortage, and we thluk tho gov ernment is exaggerating the present or future conditions, so we do not enter into Hoover's campaign as enthusiastically as we should. Even if the matter hus beeu exaggerated, food conservation is necessary be cause It teaches the lesson of saving Mid avoiding wastefulness, and the American people are known as the wa: teful nation. If the truth of the old saying, "Wasto not, want not," can be brought forcibly to the atten tion of tho nation, then we will have learned one great lesson which will be of inestimable benefit to our coun try, not only at this particular time, but for all time to come. THE BUSINESS OK MAKINti MEN Our recent visit to Camp Lewis, Washington, where 40,000 conscript ed men aro receiving military train ing, demonstrated to us that in addi tion to the great war undertakings which he now has on hand, I'ncle Sam is engaged in another great work making men. Those in au- Commissloner Harvey doesn't know where tho money will come from to build tho St. HelonslColum bia City road. Wo presume if the road is built the money will come from tho same source that it comes from when much road work is done in Harvey's district from tho tax payers. It seems to us tluit this mut- tpr In lllrt hllxintiMa nf St Hulmiu nml thorny pound Into the young soldier. those not , thlg roaJ slouU, not lose any sleep over the matter. If the St. Helens people want the road and are willing to pay for it, wo don't think Mr. Harvey should worry. St. Helens peoplo haven't worried much b?cause thousands of dollars have been spent In the lower end of the county, although a con siderable portion of tho Improvement was made on general road fund mouey in which this end of the comi ty had a large interest. A county commissioner should be for the whole county and the Interests of the whole county and when the Mist advocated Harvey's elec'.lon as commissioner we thought he would bo Columbia coun- commissioner. "Exports of condensed milk which for a three year period beforo the war r.veruged 17,792,679 pounds an nuully have increased to af.9,1 02.2 1 :t pounds for tho llscal year ending Juno 30, 1917. "Cheese exports which for the three pre-war years averaged 3,788, 065 pounds reached 66,087,218 pounds for the last llscul year, a sjvcnteenfold Increase. "Exports of butter which for the threo years previous to the wrr were 4,457,144 pounds increased In 1917 to 26,835,092 pounds.

He is taught to take care of himself, and wherever he doesn't take this care c penalty is inflicted. In conversation with an officer in regard to this important phase of the soldier's training, he said: "The Im pressionable youth Is far safer from temptation and from the evils thai como from vice while soldiering un der the conditions which are found in a majority cf the training camps than he is when even lvilng in the home atmosphere in the average city or town."

HQIMKELY HKrOKK IS. Our soldier boys in France are now in the first lino of trenches, side by side with the French soldiers, facing the enemy. It will not be many weeks before we will be rer.dlng lists of the honored dead, "died while I:i the dis charge of duty." Over many Amer ican homes, possibly right here in St. Helens, a gloom will bo cast be cause the father, son, or brother will never return. We cannot expect to engage in this war without paying a fearful price In human blood. Soon we will realize the price our soldiery will have to pay, and the" sacrifices they will have to make In order to maintain for us the freedom wa now enjoy. And while theso soldier boys at the front are sacrificing their lives for us, we at homo must also make some sacrifices. There are many ways in which wo can show our patriotism and help tho government in the titanic struggle In which we are engaged. Let each one of us ask ourselves, are we doing our duty io the government as faithfully and cheerfully as wo expect tho soldier boys to perform their duty, and If your own conscience Bays no, start to do your duty today. You know what It 1b, so It is unnecessary for you to be told. There are a thousand und one ways in which the govern ment can be assisted, and your as sistance Is needed and needed now. sary. Labor knows what they have to have, and capital knows how much they can grant. Instead of arbitrat ing after a strike, why not arbitrate before, then we would have no strikes.
