FIGHTING FOR FKEEDOM If there were any in the land who felt conscientiously ilmilitfnl foneeiTiiiitr the snoreiue uistiee of. our canst President Wilson's last message to the Congress of the nation must surely have solved the question with the divine flash of eternal truth.- It not only yhu-cs him rightly by the side of Lincoln, it not only gives heart to America, it not only tells our enemies that in us there is no vindictiveness, no desire for small and petty revenges nor national lust of power, but above and beyond all it proves that America battles for the high and mighty pur poses of Universal Freedom and permanent peace. The message today has permeated every quarter of the globe. It will stay the hand of Russia and weaken Lenine and Trotzky In their wicked dream of the, delivery of that Cossack giant from Prussian domination. It will force Japan to further effort in the cause of the Allies;, it will put heart in sorely pressed Italy, I Selgium and Ron mania. It will put power into the high purposes of the Latin American republics. It will teach the few remain zing European neutrals to beware of further bolstering up - the cause of a military autocracy doomed to extinction. But above and beyond nil it Will show to the common people of Germany that Wilhelm has deliberately and maliciously lied to' them, and that he has, like a riotous madman, misrepresented the motives which prompted America to enter the woeful strife. . We have set our faces to the sun. We have announced through our inspired spokesman that we shall fight on. with every drop of blood and every material thing which we possess, until with the firing of the last gun, freedom .and democracy is made safe for the generations yet un 'borri.

Hoyt is president, is doing great things for tho Grande Ronde Valley and is also hacking Hoover's conservation of food campaign to the limit in their own way. The membership of tho club is 125, with a most efficient secretary in A. V. Andrews, and it is known as one f the most nctivo fish and game clubs in Oregon. The main objects of the club arc to preserve game animals and birds and all game fish, and to increase their number yearly and at the samo time sec that thero is plenty of fish and game in the valley for sport. Six years ago this section was almost fished out ami the stato sent a carload of trout fry to La Grande, but owing to cu'elcs-ness on the part of Bomeone who had no idea of how delicately tho fry had to he handled, ,un ...i...tn ....... lnn, ti.;.. ....... the start of tho Wing & Fin Club. Tho club has constantly grown In memlwrship and every member is an enthusiast. Tho club intends to nssist tho state by stocking this valley with China pheasants, and its Rtreanis with trout. They hnvo a number of pheasants at tho'poorfarm, which they are feeding, and ns soon as the hunting season is over, a certain number will be re leased, and tho balance kept for breed ing. More birds will also be pur chased from the stnte game preserve The streams will also be stocked with trout from tho slate fish hatcheries and tho streams kept full of the best food fish in the world. Every year the club holds an annual fish day and banquet at the Foley hotel, nt which the prizes are awarded to tho forlunato sportsman who hooked the largest fish during the senson. Last year six prizes were awarded for various "points." The annual rabbit drive is nlso feature of tho club and not only help? to keep down tho destructive jr.ik rabbit, but also furnishes many a meal. At tho last dive tho club donated 500 rabbits to the Baker City Snlvation Army, and several hundred to the local Salvation Army. Preparations have been made tc protect and feed the deer nml game birds this winter in case the weathci should turn very cold with heavy snow. What does tho country that has boon occupied by the Germans look like now? See "In tho Walto of the Huns" at tho Star, Saturday only. 12-S-5t. The Woman Who Pays by check instead of in currency escapes n lot of worry about money matters. She has an accurate record of where her money goes and a receipt for every penny she has pail out.
