And among all the blunders the one which has been attempted all along is a systematic way of cov orlng up the true condition of the military, und In tills manner : at tempting to fool the Gorman peo ple as well as the people with wlioiu they i are at war. But the direct conclusion is that all Is a blunder because 11 is ali wrong, and being wrong funda mentally and primarily it must como to an end, and that end is In sight.' ' ' i ri'ltTAIl.MKXT XUKOIOI). My Country TIs of Th, 8w..t Land , . of Liberty." . ... ; HMM)KrHPTION. ..-. The world has learned one thing and that It that Oorman Imperial Jam is fooling itself and the Gor- : nmn people more than they are de ceiving, others. J. The Ioniser's nnny has repeatedly fooled itself in its' estimation of what it would be able to do, :- It would seem now In order to cancel all further dates for the entrance Into Paris. The horalded viBlt is already . about four years .overdue nnd this Is btit one result of how the kaiser and his generals have fooled themselves and the German people.' : " "'t , They thought they could nnvl gato the air better with a balloon attachment, and this the airpluno hnB not. only practically overcome, but has demonstrated its own sup eriority. They believed that their submarines would put a blockade girdle around the, sea, but, they haven't Interfered enough with American transports to Btop a con tinuous stream of men and - sup plies for France. But the supreme blunder has been in their 'assumption that they could supplement the work of their Invading armies ' by a scries or hideous outrages that would make the. world afraid of them. This wan the biggest all down or all. Would not the, slinplost process or reasoning demonstrate to the Gorman monster that people would sooner die than to bo held In per petual terror? ! An ngod woman, writing to the Observer says: "1 know this much. Death comes but once, and I would snoned dlo than to bo under, the hideous, heathenish power of the Oorman military autocracy." None of the things of which the Gorman military power conceived It- Secretary McACoo, ns director- general ot the railroads, has given out word that the passenger train traffic is to ho reduced a million miles this year. To ... tho general run of people it Is not apparent Just how much of a reduction in service tills moans, but It must bo con siderable. At the same time the demand of tho people to. go about from one place to another, will nol likely be seriously Interfered with nnd thero will' be a great saving mado in fuel, wear and tear, and man power that can be dlverred in directly toward the war. This will mean but little If any sacrifice tri the public but a great deal to the government, . . It Is tho sanio way in other af fairs. The use of substitutes, for inslanco, Is supposed to help aug ment the available, food nupply for our: noyn over mero anu mo al lies as well. This Is Inconsiderable In comparison with what people Und to make sufficient In the early settling days nnd In' many' periods where plagues and drouths have made the food supply short. .: There aro , prospcctB ahead for further curtailment1 of Supplies and tho usual conveniences. But it can all be met without especial hard ship, and, . perhnps, In many cases with benefit to those whose fan cied necessities " stand in greater need of contraction than expansion. The people ot the United States have not commenced to . reel any of the hardships of war as coin pared with the countries In Europe that aro in the direct course or the war demon. We should all therefore, cheerfully accept what ever" may bo further required that will holp tho great caUBc of a per manent peace. v. Ill take Just one week to get hero If we are beaten. Tbey have :r.ufle up their mluds that America shall pay. Is there a farmer who will stand forward now and say, "This war does not concern Die?" you have money lhst you do not j need at present. Loan It to the Cov I eminent at good Interest: when you j.wuit the money hack 'again, yoti. can borrow on your bond, or sell it. Vticle Sam will take eare of your money until you need It and pay you Interest on it., ' Go and buy a Liberty Bonil to morrow. . Don't be a slacker, and don't fool yourself with the Idea that you are loo far away from the war for It to hurt you. Remember 1914. when the Germans upset the world's shipping, and you took what you could get lor your producte. , Think of the twenty years starva tion prices ahead of you, in case we are beaten. This is your war, and if you won't get in it you deserve to loso your American Citizenship. Call in at the bank tomorrow, and talk it over. WARDENS ANU VESTRYMEN . .

Let us penult no loyal worker for tho causo to feel that his endeavor Is unappreciated. If unkind words have been said, let us all forget them. Wc must wln this war." This was the spirit In which W. F. Woodward talked yesterday to The Journal. The words are, In ef fect, his words. Tho thought Is his thought, the prayer his prayer. The utterance ranio from him on a bed of pain In his home, where lie Is confined with an attack nf lumbago. The rereronce Is, or course, to tho controversy ovor the Hunt case. RUNNIN' RISKS! Despite the prevalence of robbery, a few continue (oJu'cp money about their homes. In thus doing they are not only risking ihe loss nf the money, hut nlso their lives. How much safer and better it would he if these people would bring their money to this hank. You're not running this risk are you? Never despise a small beginning.

Ayor to retire from his position in the war work. Mr.' Woodward's statoment Is a fervent ippeal for these suggestiors to Ik forgotten. And when wo nil stop to think about It, howiasy It Is for us to see that Mr. Woodward is again sound In his advice and wise in his counsel. From the' first, Mr. Ayer has been an earnest and devoted worker in the grent cause to which wo all pledge our lives, our. foi times und our sacred honor. ' Alt,- Ayer was the man who led Oregon's drive tyr ih-i Bed "rosii. The deep feolir.f:. with which he en tered Into llii't iirlii. ia struggle, the fiulot but devoted earnestness nnd endless toll with which he worked are Well remembered by all those associated with that me morable struggle. The results that camo ot the effort aro proof of how well the drive was captained. , This it? but a small fraction of tho war work ot Mr. Ayer. His time, his means nnd his cnereglos have been, from the begiuning of tho war. his country's. His tire less endeavors 'and exacting sacri fices as food administrator are other responsibilities fully met, other gifts laid at tho feet of his countivmen. I It would 'be but n poor requital, because of difference over a fool ish woman's fad, Jnr Mr. Ayer to be seriously asked fo (ult Ills post , of duty, to drop out of the ranks in this l'i;;lit against kalserdoin.. If nothiiiK else, It would he bad strat egy t Irtst so good a fighter and so loyal a citizen when every fight ing man. every atom of our re sources, and" every ounce of our :Hroii;nli is needed to boat the Hun.

ASHMAN, Clerk Mr. Grain Farmer: Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not wait until Spring nnd Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now. You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for years. Sacks for the same amount of grain .will cost you $125.00 nnd this would be a dead loss against this year's crop. A granary of thfs size can be moved anywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced labor handling nnd sewing sacks. The boys in the trenrhes need tho sacks for sand bags for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is among them. Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of the money goes to India. BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW Be prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, ns low grade lumber will give you trouble in n few seasons. Don't Uso green lumber. Save money keep what you spend at homo pvevent loss and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the tenches; help win the war by building granaries now. Portahle granaries of this type nre universally used in other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma terial for one granary For particulars as well as prices on Union County lumber for nil farm purposes, see The George Palmer Lumber Co.
