'round the spade, war gardeners, and make the
week of April 1 the li o-to-it week of the garden plant
ing campaign. Keep the home soil turning and win the
war! That is the message heing sent throughout the
country hy the National War Garden commission at Wash
ington, which is campaigning to help the city farmer feed
himself.
'the kaiser is much more interested in whether we
can feed the men we are sending to the front than lie is
in the number." says ( 'liarles Lathrop Rack, the president
of lite commission. ''Let us fool the kaiser on .April 1 by
showing him we mean business. Send a two , cut stain)
to the National War Garden commission and get the free
war garden- primer, then spade for your life. Spade up
and speed up, thus making every garden a munition plant.
Help Uncle Sain fill those ships with food by feeding your
self. If we 'do not feed ourselves we will have food cards
decorated with the German eagle at the top that will tell
us what we can cat. Remember, April .1 is the big day."

I TA
Anion)' the niany mitruthful reireseiitations that go
around regarding the patriotic efforts that are being put
forth to win the war, the unkindest of all is that the women
of the lied Gross" are being paid for their work. The
thing in connection with such, reports is that there is no
way to find out the original source. The old "they say
so and so" gets into circulation; does it venomous work,
in many cases being accepted as the truth, and there i.s"
no way to quarantine tho public from 'its injiirous effects.
Among all the preposterous reports that have gained
circulation locally is that the workers for the boys with
tho colors 'arc receiving pay for what they are doing.
Nothing could be more absurd, or farther from the trut h.
If seems so much more unjust when it is considered with
" hilt inner dwvotion these women work; all indulgences
of ease have been discarded almost wholly in order to meet
the wants of the soldiers promptly ami fully, and this with
no thought of 'remuneration beyond that unpurchasahle
satisfaction" which' comes from discharging the dutica
which tho rigors of war have imposed, upon the women
o: tho country. Just watch anil see how rapidly this
latest call for discarded clothing for the Belgian people
will be met Committees have been named, instructions
to the most minute detail will follow, and then the Red
('loss women of La Grande will, the next thing that is
known, have a carload or so of the needed supplies.
All such work falls on the women and they do their
part not only gratuitously but willingly. Among the other
tilings in support of those who are giving their time and
labor in the cause is the nailing down of all such lies or
any similar reports which imputes to the women of the
Red Cross any. motive beyond that which emanates from
President Wilson in his address to congress on Feb
ruary 1 1 said :
"The method the German chancellor proposes is the
method of the congress of Vienna. We can not and will
not return to that. Is it possible that Count von llertling
does not see that, does not grasp it, is in fact living in
his thought in a world dead and gone?""
Count von llertling in his address to the Reichstag
on February 2(i retorts as follows:
"President Wilson, who reproaches the German chan
cellor with a certain amount of backwardness, seems to
me in his view of ideas to have hurried far in advance of
existing realities."
These two quotations illustrate the difference between
the American and the German standpoint.
America does demand something lieyond the existing
realities that Germany has created demands a bettei
day, the observance of the rules of civilization, an . honor
able rule of national conduct, freedom and justice to small
nations, to all peoples, which do, not exist today because
of German kultur.
Germany insists upon a return to and perpetuation of
fraud and tyranny and ruthlessness, a disregard of justice
to small nations, 'indeed to all nations and peoples, a con
scienceless rule of international conduct. These things
may not yet be "dead and gone" but they will be ''dead
and gone" when this war is ended.
The difference between the two positions i.s the differ
ence between a future safe and free and just, and a past
cruel, unjust,treaclierous' and tyrannous, the difference
between American ideals and practice and German kultur
and atrocities. .

This talk about saving is a good thing. But
you need someone to get down to cases and. show
you exactly where you can save.
WE CAN SHOW YOU IN CLOTHES
There's just one wav to do it; buy good ones.
A fine all-wool suit, that costs $:i) to $35 and lasts
throe seasons is far cheaper than a suit that costs
$18 or $1!0 and lasts one season .isn't, it?
'We're interested in selling clothes, but we're
just as much interested in helping' you get value
and satisfaction. .; '
If you've been wearing a single-breasted
suit, choose a di. able-breasted for spring. They
are very' stylish and becoming to most men.

the bench and the bar that wi
was trulv a "nianv-sided man'
The late K. ,1. Wilbur led the life of a typical pioneer.
Not to say that the world is not. still filled with energy
and' the capacity for doing things. Almost anyone can.
accomplish more in the modern times than could possibly
have been done by the single individual surrounded by
the primitive sources of assistance of the pioneering
period. K. .1. Wilbur is simply a type of men who have
done things by overcoming obstacles that stood in the
way. He farmed in the early days; he drove stage; he
unproved the breeds of horses; he hauled freight when
a mouth's time was required in making the round trip
from the "lauding" on the Columbia to the interior, lie
became a contractor and furnished a large portion of the
heavv timbers used in tho construe! inn of bridges for the
miss
i the
sense of possessing high proficiency in many ot her affairs
outside of his profession. To him the various phases of
agriculture and stock raising, horticulture and kindred
I subjects was as interesting and probably more diverting
j than were Hie heavier mental exactions required in the
'analysis of law. The hard grind of the latter profession,
j no doubt, had something to do with hastening his death.
The past year or so has seen many examples of the
rigorous exactions of hard mental work, and this has
: brought. a .special loss to the bench and bar. In this list
'may with. 'propriety he 'included the loss of such 'men as
'the late Judge Kakin. .Judge Mordantl and more recently
the late C. W. Kulloii.

Is Your Money
Dead ?
To watch some people, one would think that their money
was dean; as they bury it in some out-of-the-way place.
It's a daily worry to them, it's a temptation to others;
the very birds of the air seem to cany the news of the
hidden treasure; It's a constant menace to his life.
Thero is a place whete your money will lie a living joy to
Jou where you can i;et to it any lime you want it, and
you know it will he there when you want it.
