: 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.
The sacking Industry .require
federal financial aid. "and additional

"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. Teh
dcflrees back of Mt. EniJly, Is a deep
notch in tho mountains, cut on pur
pose to disclose the suns-Ms, and
ttierc, the first evening I rodo lip
that latnc, the .setting sun had left
behind a huge bouquet of sweet
bait, for all thia Western sky was
purple and -rose, lavender and moss-
green with a 'rosy glow entoming
all.
The glamour Of tho loveliest
month ot all the year was every
where, and 1 did want an auto of my
own. Back east, rue price oi Bor

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

Machine
It has. long blen recognttod that
machinery of ovory kind must b6
lubricated with oil of a partlcula'
consistency if it is to rrtn smoothly.
The 'same is true of automonie
engines. Unless an oil meets exactly
the nlqeds of the engine In -which it
is used, worn parts are likely to ha
tfia resurl. jnd worn'parts nn-an
the ever prosent danger of a bie.ik
It-Is oertainly cheull'er in the end to
buy good Itrhi Icating 'oil -ot the cor
rect consistency thrui .to buy new I
parts. '
To specify lls correct grado ot oil
for every type of engine .is the work
of experts. .Realizing this, tine. Stand

Board of Lubrication Engineers -that

The results of the oxpeiimcnts
