MORTON Editor SUBSCRIPTION- RATES One Year 91.50 Six Months 75 Entered as second-class matter, January 10th, 1912. at the Postorflce at St. Helens, Oregon, under tbe act of March 3rd. 1879. COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER WAB CHEST IS SUGGESTED. The Hun must be licked. His must be an unconditional surrender. The war must be won. We can well afford to win. We can never af ford to lose. The cost of winning the war is great, the cost of losing would be appalling. ,Food, men and money are the which will beat the Kaiser and bring the bloody butchers murder ers of women and children, aged and decrepid, bombers of hospitals, etc., to hook. Our farms will furnish the food. Our army will furnish the men and our people will furnish the money. Our business is to win the war. It is a task for the best brains in the nation. It is a task for us all. We must get together as never before. The Food Administration will at tend all matters pertaining to pro viding the necessary food. Those in charge of the Army will provide and train the men who will knock the devil out, and civilization into old Fritz, etc. What is most needed now is better financial management so far as Columbia County is con cerned, and what is true in Colum bia is true largely everywhere. W. Should Have a War Chest Where All Charitable Funds for War Purposes Should be Collected and Put in Charge of a Committee Who Should Be Under Bonds for Their Proper Care. Columbia County is now asked to contribute a few thousand dollars for Red Cross purposes which is well and we will contribute it gladly. However, since the last Red Cross Drive we have sent almost continu ously large sums of money to Port land for Red Cross purposes and we receive no credit for the same. We might have sent ten times as much and still we would have been given no credit and would have been asked for our proportion just the same. The same is true with other drives. People from Portland and else where have come to our camps and sold thousands of dollars worth of bonds and solicited other funds and we receive no credit. If we had put all Red Cross money raised in Columbia County since the last drive in our war chest, when the call came for $3,600 Red Cross money from Columbia County, our Committee could have written the check and paid the bill in ten minutes. Drives are coming thick and fast. We should be prepared in advance. What is true of Red Cross funds is true of all other charitablefunds. We should be pre pared to meet the ever growing obligations asked of us without placing too large a burden on our people. Let us have a County war chest, place each charitable fund in it in a separate account, pay all County obligations from it. J. W. ALLEN.

There is a sufficient quantity of po- tatoes lu America for greater use li every home and for all needs of arm) and nuvy. Kut more potatoes, eai less wheat THRIFT AND ECONOMY. The Council of National Defense and the Advisory Commission of the Council believe that a concerted ef fort for economy by the people of the Nation will not only go far toward paying America's expense in the war, but will also reduce consumption of raw and manufac tured materials essential to the con duct of the war. The Council urges all to refrain from unnecessary expenditures of every kind, "and to bear constantly in mind that only one thing is now of real importance, and that is the winning of the war. The Nation's resources in man power, money, transportation, food stuffs, raw materials and fuel, have already been subjected to heavy strain, and it is the clear duty of every citizen to guard against in creasing this strain by a single wasteful act. It is most creditable for everyone man and woman, boy and girl to be economical in dress, food and rrtanner of living. Every evidence of helpful self-denial on the part of all in a time like this is most commendable. This war is more than a con flict between armies; it is a contest n which every man, woman and child can and should render real as sistance. Thrift and economy are not only a patriotic privilege, they are a duty.

This is 1,500 tons less than the showing of the pre vious week. Oregon secured 158 cars, from Washington mines, dur ing the week. This is an increase over the usual demand for Oregon, and indicates that Fuel Administra tor Holmes' warning of an impend ing shortage this winter is resulting in earlier storage by consumers of their fuel supplies. Reports from Y. M. C. A. centers in France state that most American soldiers are sending money home as well as carrying insurance and making payments on Liberty Bonds. In one week more than 15,000 American soldiers in camps in this country signed war rolls agreeing to live moral and Christian lives while they were in the army. The Canadian Y. M. C. A. has taken over the Hotel d'Jcna in Paris for use of Canadian soldiers. It la announced In the Bohemian press that experiments made with "paper cloth" have proved so suc cessful that Hungarian sts'.te railways are to furnish employes with Bummer clothing of this fabric.
