Alone 'iid Out More Thu a Thousand Cain lr f j I One Week. : Some of the great accomplish ments of American business during the war are Just beginning to creep to' the suiface now that the ban.of censorship hA been ..removed. Ev. lery -industry davotMd a great ipart ol its time and energy to the manufac ture of Biipplles needed not only by the United Stales but by the' Allies, nd f'w peisons not, actively engag- . ed jn the .work realise Its extent. 'The preparation and handling of meat food, product . was, of course, oie iof the gtiqat necessary Indus, tries, and it was fortunate ifor the country that the packing Industry waa already mobilized for service' long oefotie thle I.usit'anla was sunk ".The problem of securing an adh qnate supply of meat for the army hd navy' caused- the government, lass worry than any othwr major' problem. AH that was necessary for' tire government to do was to deter mine the requirements and-need of thW army and navy, and notify, the packers, .and they delivered the goods. The ma niter in which the packets Duel the emergencies which alrose during the war is well Illustrated in th case of Swift & Company who in one weok filled a government order few 32,000,01)0 pounds of meat and fat. This necessitated the dressing -. ot 13,000 cattle and 280.000 hogs, nd required 1,000 fiolght cars to transport. ' .Another Instance i3 -found In an order which was received orta Satur day afternoon at 5 o'clock for 2, 000,000 pounds' ot a Bipedal cut of dry salt meats. The war department wanted this shipment of 43 cars box ed and on the way by the following Tuesday noon 'less than 70 hours distant. Swift & Company had the last car loaded and .rolling an hour v Infers noon on Tuesday. In still another case the. Govern ment could get no one to put up fresh' butter, in itins for overseas ' shipment. Swift & Company ac cepted an order for D00.000. pounds on May 4th, J918 It was necessary to equip throe croameries with nia cinery and supplies, and to orgauiie the help to do work ertltely new to them, but tho first car- was rolling eastward in 33 days and a month la ter th entire order was' completed. The tremendous total of $550, 000,000 worth of supplies was fur nished by Swift & Com(May alone to the Ameaicaji and Allied govern ments during the war. The peak was reached In December, 1918, when the goods furnished totaled 135,000,000 in this one month. Meats naturally formed the bulk of sales, but .considerable .quantities of wool were' furished the United States government, white the Allies r.nr-hi!ri lame amounts of laTd and lard products. 'Even if there had ron any Inclin- ' atlon oh the part of tKa packers 10 "protiteer," thto would have been out of the question under the rigid regulations enforced by the food a Ministration. With meat pr ides effl inllv determined by the government ifnd with profits limited to a definite percentage, possibility of untutr deal ing was removed.

By ImiIfI WlUlanu O "t there any garage In La Grande?" I had wirltten my ilenu, when I was contemplating a weAern trig. Her answer came back, "More garages than grocary stores and the people f La Grande live iOighty ghd, D'O." Even so, I was surprised at the number of machines I found gliding about the soeote of Ls Graihde and the tact that ninety nine in a hundred wove open cars argued well for tlpr weather. Where do they ride,?" 1 asked wisnlng I could afford a car. "That's Juat the trouble. There's nowhere to go.", spokie up an old grouch whti hapepned to be upon he perch. He had tome f?om the eaBt too old or too stale to takie root in new soil like lettuce transplanted too 1st 'to head, "Nowhere to go, o they ride up one street and down another ;just tt tehow the neighbor they too possess a cr." Next fy, hospitable frtends invit ed me put for atrlde, anq later oth ers also, and how I did smile at Old Groudh! . "Nowhere to go?" The on ly rouble was to choose which road was moat alluring. The road might Be Improved, and they would be Im proved, but the scenery could not be Improved. , . Should we go the '.smooth 'Itshuld City rotrd, and back by way' of the ploturesque mill-pond? Or aleng ton popular Hot Lake drire follow ing close to the f'oot-hiils iwlth ex quisite view over mlle.i of fields tc the further' mountains - ethereal In their tints toward dusk? Or along the wonderful- ,road to Neacham twisting through the magniticlcnt canyon? Best ot all, perhaps, was a ride straight through a long, wide, grassy lane which led directly to wards Mit. Emily whose rproflle stodd out, strongly hatndsonu in the gloaming, whito her hulk was softest azure seen across a golden field ol wiild -mustard. To the. might, a rich, cwoot valley full of color fenced in by hiBh mountains which looked ar though violet Illusion had been stretched bofore them, so tangible wais the purple' mist In that pufct air. The atmosphere ' wai so clear, possessed such a vitalizing sparkle that the violet mist veritably stood out like a veil before the face, a phe nomenon unique as pretty among all the mountains I have sreen.

But in LA Oranuo: Bless you, they Just left their autos standing by their doors. At- first I looked in amazement. I made inquk; Its, and was assured no auto wa? over stolen. "1 never heard of such an honest town!" "The very air. hers iij honest," my fnlend answered me. So I purcliaa ed a little car, but' I was cautious and locked it carefully len-ery night, though I-did do as my neighbors did and lott it' standing outside while slept. More, 1 was deep. So 1 carefully removed the distributor for a week but in a for'nlgbt I went to bqd Willi. my car qulto unlocked and 1 went to sleep without even prat ing, "Now I lay me. dwn' to sleep I Dray the Lord my cur to keep."
