Her keel was laid in 1905. The North Carolina is her sister ship. The race for mayor and city commissioner in Portland might be described as a battle royal. When in Portland vou will the Oregon Hotel news stand As War Calls to the Men, Business Tasks Call to the Women! As the bugle and drum call to the service of their country the men working in the offices and shops, and the unfinished tasks are abandoned, the summons to service comes to the women. The work of the nation must be done, that the fighting bills may be paid. The processes of commerce must not be seriously crippled, else the material resources of the country would be quickly curtailed. The work left behind by the men who have joined the colors must be taken up by the women who are under the protection of the flag. It means opportunity for patriotic service. It means an expression of that loyalty to country -which is in every woman's heart and mind. The employer whose forces of workers is depleted by the national emergency should call for women to fill the in dustrial ranks. There arc not many office tasks to which women are not equal. There is much work in the shops and factories within their capacity. The manhood strength of the country is being mobilized for the fighting task. The fit and able soldier leaves be hind him a business task. To call other men, too old to Join the colors, from other tasks, to fill the gaps is not always possible or wise. The summons of the office and of the work shops is to the women and they will respond. We shall have little unemployment the need for workers will be increasingly urgent. Let us have immediate "preparedness" for business tasks by all women who are not tied to home tasks. X708 1-2 Sixth St La Gr&ndo, .

HOUSEWIVES In many cases can reduce the cost of supplying their tables without reducing the nutritive value of the food served by giving more thought thau usually Is glveu to the selection, preparation and combination of foods. In fact, whero carelessness has been the rule (and carelessness is not related to the size of the Income! ilie specialists of the Dulled Stales artmeut of agricul ture suy cured., iiluuulng may niako possible both u reduction of cost and an Increase In nutrltlveness and pala tabillty. If auy changes are to be brought about In the menu to which a family has been accustomed, however, by eliminating certain articles or substi tuting less expensive ones, care should be tukeu that the resulting diet Is ra tional that is, that It does not contain, on the one hand, too great a proportion of foods of auy one typo, such as incuts and uicut substitutes, or starch, sugurs and fats, or vegetables and fruits, and (hat, on the other band. It Is not de ficient in any of theso types of food. Should Eat a Variety. In general. Habit and custom, shaped by normal appetites, liuve led to the general adoption of adequate and va ried diets in most fnmilies where tho means ure sullicient for any range of choice. Thus when input, a food rich In nitrogeu, is oaten, potato, rice, bread or some other starchy food and fruits and vegctalscs und perhaps foods of the other types usually are served with it. If a person's food habits are good he will oat u reasonable quantity of all the foods provided and obtain a varied meal and not a one sided one, as might otherwise bo tho case. Tho list of foods given at the end of this article are intended to show differ ent types of food and different exam ples of each type. If tho foods com bined in tho diet are chosen according to those types that Is, according to tho purpose ouch group serves iu tho body and are eaten iu proper propor tion, the meals will furnish ull the kinds of nourishing elements which the body needs. The five types or groups are: First. Foods depended upon for min eral mutter, vegetable nclds nnd body reg ulating substances, such us fruits and suc culent vegetables. Second. Foods depended upon for pro tein, such as milk, eggs, meut and dried legumes. Third. Foods depended upon for starch, such as cereal breakfast foods, flours, meals and foods made from them. Fourth. Foods depended upon for sugar, such as sugar, molasscB, sirups, honey, jams, thick preserves, dried fruits, sweet cakes and dessert. Fifth. Foods depended upon for fat, such as butter, cream, salad oil and other table fats, lard, suet and other cooking fats and oils, salt york and bacon. Must Have Some of Each. In order that the meals may supply all the uecded nutritive elements, ouo must make sure that all groups aro well represented, not necessarily at ev ery meal, but when tho family diet Is considered day by day and week In aud week out. Quuntitles should vary, particularly of the energy yielding foods, for persons engaged in differ ent pursuits necessitating different amouuts of exercise. The heavier the work the more food Is needed. In planning meals In accordance with the method here suggested choose only a few dishes and make sure thut the dif ferent groups are represented In the dally fare. Foods In groups 1 and 3 aro less expensive, as a rule, than those iu group 2 and for this and other reasons should bo used freely as the basis of the diet, with sufficient amouuts of foods from groups 2. i and S to round out the meals. Remember that tlie materials used in cooking or served with foods Hour, eggs, milk, j fat, sugar, etc. add their food value , to tho diet Hemember ulso that It Is not necessary to supply nil the types of food ut every meal, providing enough . of each Is supplied In the course of j the day. For example, if the foods ; which are depended upon for nitrogen j meat, eggs, milk, etc. are found In abundance at breakfast nnd dinner it I Is not necessary to Include them at ; supper or lunch, or If a person prefers I a light breakfast be may leave out the j nitrogen rich food and perhaps some : of the other foods In the morning nnd make up for it at the noon and even ing meals. In the following lists dishes suitable for the different meals are grouped according to the kind of nu tritive materials which predominate in each, and the groups ore given In tho order In which they are usually intro duced In family meals. Tho dishes mentioned are examples ouly. House- j keepers will readily think of dishes of Biujuar hinu wiueii uicy "'"j isn-iui. The Important thing Is to know which foods beloir: to the different groups and then to sen that all' the groups are represented hi the family meals. Breakfast.

West, farmer and dairyman, liv ing near Scappoose, Is an enthusiastic upporter of tho road bond bill that will be before the voters for tholr ap proval at tho special election June 4. He Is tor the read bonds because the value ot good roads has been demon strated to him conclusively. Through tho construction of a macadam road by which ho is enabled to send milk and cream to market by auto truck, Mr. West last year saved $540. "Before the macadam road was built," according to Mr. West, "I bad to haul my milk and cream by team to Scappoose. But now an auto truck call at my home dally, delivers my dairy products In the Portland market and on the return trip brings groceries and other supplies right to my door. Due entirely to the macadam road, my saving last year In markottng the products of my dairy alone was $540. This estimate does not Include the saving that has attended the market ing ot my farm products and the de livery ot freight and other supplies at my home. "By hard-surfacing this macadam road, my savings due to Improved roads will be even greater for with the completed road the cost of operating auto trucks will be further reduced. Yes, I am enthusiastically In favor of the road bond bill. OPPOSITION TO ROAD BONDS IS REMOVED "When It Is explained that the ex pense of providing the crushed rock base on the roads to be hard-surfaced will be borno by the Btale and not re quired of the counties, opposition to tho road bond bill is largely removed," Bays Winnie Brnden, of Dallas, Secretary-Treasurer of Polk County Bettor Roads Association. "It has heon my experience that It Is only necessary to nequalnt tho individual opponent ot the road bond meusuro with the pro visions of the hill to make him a con vert to tho good roads movement. Tho people of Polk County uniformly with other progressive people ot tho state want good roads. All that is demand ed by them is tho assurance that tho funds to be raised by the proposed boud Issue will bo 'applied economical ly In the construction of the greatest possible mileage of serviceable ronds of a permanent aud enduring charac ter. "With this assuranco and the fur ther guarantee that ample funds are provided in the increused uutomobllo license, which will have to bo paid anyway, to meet both interest and principal of the bonds, the voters of my section of the Btute are more strongly favoring the road bill."
