Will you enlist in the service of
your country today? To you comes
t'ie challenge to be a Food Conserva

To be an efficient home manager
you must know your job.. First, make
it your business to know what
foods and how much food your
famiiy needs to be efficient. Sec
ond, learn how to make the most
of tiic foods which you buy. And
third, watch, your kitchen waste. A
large part of the $700,000,000 esti
mated food waste in this country is
good food which is allowed to get into
the garbage pails and kitchen sinks

Throughout this county as well as our
s'ate and nation the food administra
tion is working to organize the women
into fighting units; armed wth in
telligence, based on scientfic facts. v

course wll be open to the women of
this community under the direction
of (he extension department of O. A.

Otto II. Kahn is a German-American. We hope every
one has read his article on the Prussians. He is the typical
German-American, too, the kind that is loyal and patriotic.
Much as we read about German spies and treason in this
country, no doubt the German-Americans will have just
as high a batting average for loyalty to the Government
as any other class of citizens. The Observer has had sev
eral Germans in this vicinity -stop the paper because The
Observer was supporting the President. This is their
Eriviiege. ut more than mne-tentns ot tne uermans wno
ave come here to make America their home and have be
come citizens are loyal to the core; and they are represent
ed m the training camps and will be. round righting iter
many with might and soul. That is what the Kaiser can
not understand the loyalty of the transplanted Germans
to their adopted country. He does not know America, he
cannot understand how its tendrils of freedom entwine
the heart.
LADY NICOTINE.
Some people think tobacco an evil that should be barred
from the soldiers' training camps, but they are mistaken.
Lady Nicotine is the soldier's friends and protector and the
practical men in charge of affairs realize this, though of
course excessive use of tobacco is frowned upon. All in
all it may be set down that the United States is making
good use of experience gained in the Spanish war and it is
gratifying to know that while the battlefields of this wor
may reap a heavier toll the camp casualties seem in line
to be light. Pendleton East Oregonian.

Union County is one of the main attractions at the Stat-.1

The placing of a creditable exhibit at the State Pair is to be
commended, and especially is due to the various stockmen

serenity that marks his countenunce
under all circumstances.
Lord Haldance, former Secretary of
War, was first to ascribe to Haig Mio
possession of the "German mind."
The officers and men under him at
Aldershot, where he was in command
from 1912 until the war began, put
the same thing in another way. Thev
called him, among themselves, "Von
Haig." Haig has been a long time
acquiring this mastery of German
melhods, apparently. Field Marshal
Eveiyn Wood testified to this in the
statement. "Haig knows more about
the German army than any officer in
England. Twenty years ago he wrote
me irom uermany where he was
spending a long leave, a letter so full
of prophetic knowledge that I sent it
to his young wife to keep. Some day
someone who writes his life will s io
what he forecasted 20 years before he
went to fight the Grmans. '
The soldier wilt tell you Haig is a
great soldier the politician or states
man of his remarkable grasp of polit
ical affairs. The Rev. Mr. Duncan, of
Edinburgh, will relate the commander-in-chief's
faithfulness in attending
Presbyterian service every Sunday
morning. Newspapers will subscribe
to the general agreement: "He is

The best way to find out about your Underwear is to give it a test of actual
use. Kenosh lOosed Krotch Underwear stands the test of hard service. It
makes good in the wear and tear of the laundry. It retains its shape and elas
ticity until the end. Do you know any other Underwear that does that?
Other Underwear may look as good or better when new, but give it the same
test and it wears out quicker or loses its shape, having been made from , less

The big, patriotic men of America want treason stamped
out at once.
Straight from the shoulder, Colonel A. J. Ryan, demand
ed that the people at home stamp out treason here whilo
America's soldiers are fighting our battles abroad. The
commander of the Fort Sheridan camp aroused great en
thusiasm in an address before the Chicago Association of
Commerce at the Hotel La Salle.
"Traitors should be seized and put where no one will
know their address," declared Colonel Ryan. "You should
get the heads of the treason propaganda and not pick upon
the ignorant rank and file. What right have you to ask
your soldiers to fight your battles in France unless you
protect their rear from traitois at home?"
Clarence S. Darrow followed Colonel Ryan, saying:
"We have heard a mad monarch declare he puts his
faith in God and in his submarines but principally in his
submarines. We have heard this same crazy ruler speak
so familiarly of God as to give the appearance that he be
lieves God, too, was made in Germany. . J
"Austria is in the hands of a receiver, and that receiver i
is the Kaiser. Wilhelm first used Austria as a tool to make
war and now he is trying to use Austria as a tool to mako
peace. In both roles Austria has failed, and let us hope it
will continue to fail so long as the Kaiser owns both Aus
tria and Germany.
"The pacifist arguments that I hear today arc the same
arguments the Germans used before they brought the
war to this country. The great body of the pacifists are
not pacifists at all, but lovers of German v. They don't
want the United States to win. Thov want to see Ger
many win. Our country is not perfect, but it is the best
country on the face of the globe and it is certainly well
worth preserving. I know something about the enemies of
our country, and while some are probably. sincere, a whole
lot of them are not." j ; j
Before Uncle Sam gets through with this war, some of
these traitors will be stood up andshot;" -
Rippling Rhymes
By WALT MASON
-The Hatred Stunt '
I do not hate the German
crew as fiercely as I ought to
do. I know I ought to yip and
roar, and kick some panels
from the door, whene'er I hear
a German name, the symbol of
a nation's shame. But it is vain
to sit up late indulging in
cheap brands of hate; and if
I hated, night and day, until a
pair of slats gave way, my hating wouldn't
help the right, or put a single foe to flight.
I'd rather show up good and strong, to help
the Red Cross cause along, to send a bandage
to the lad who lost a wing near Petrograd, to
buy the surgeons lint and knives, that they
may save some heroes' lives I'd rather do
that sort of thing than hate from now until
next Spring. I sometimes think I am too
meek when friends and neighbors rant and
shriek, expressing hatred by the ton for every
German and his son. But when I hate for
half an hour I feel my stomach turning sour,
my form is bathed in clammy sweat, and I
must see the village yet. .
