MIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGH ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BLANCHES IX ALL THE P'NCIPAL CITIES WAR TIME ErTU'IKXCY Tbe nation that shows the great est efficiency In massing men, muni tions, and In fact all its resources will prevail in war Just as in com mercial enterprises. N'o battles will be won In Europe unless the soldiers have an abun dance of food and ammunition, all shipped from this country. The part the farmer and stock grower is playing In the conflict is in working together in the matter of farm efficiency, and this includes' the maximum use of machinery, men and supplies. County Agent Ward has just com pleted a census of the two counties over which he has Jurisdiction, of which this is one, and has helped much in the distribution of seed grains and other seed supplies. This is a real step in war time efficiency. Every acre of land, every bushel of seed grain, should be put to work for Uncle Sam during the next month. MR. WITHYCOMBE'8 ANNOUNCEMENT We have state problems of great magnitude to be worked out for the increase of desirable population, i for the encouragement of manufac turing enterprises; for the enlarge ment of flocks and horda of the boat breeds; for the eradication of fruit pests and other destructive agencies In orchard and farm; for the general encouragement of productiveness in all lines of endeavor; for the care ful, intelligent handling of the sev eral state Institutions and their wards, observing as far as possible the best lines of modern treatment while at the same time securing for these and for every department of state business the closest possible economy. Domestic tranquility and business confidence are Intimately related to the public welfare. I shall da all In my power to promote them. I note with pleasure the growing dis position ot employers and employes to consider each other's rights and to adjust differences by discussion in a spirit of falrnesa and equity. The routine duties of the office will not be neglected by me, but every effort will 6e put forth to bring each branch ot the state serv ice to a condition ot maximum use fulness. The efficiency of the serv ice must never be sacrificed for the sake of political advantage. I shall be mindful ot the fact that I am the representative ot the whole people and shall welcome sugges tlons from any citlien to the end that the collective wisdom may be brought to bear on all problems. If honored by a re-election I shall continue to give the best that is in me to every branch of the public service. ment was lost when the ship went down excepting a little money looae In my pocket.

If the people of Oregon are of the opinion that I have served them faithfully, I should be pleased to re ceive a vote of confidence at their bands. Tbe Governor of the state has the ear of the people. It Is therefore in his power to assist in creating and maintaining a healthy public senti ment on the many subjects which make for community welfare. I have been mindful of this fact, have mingled with the people and have done all in my power to promote " the development of the state, to bring about the construction of good roads, to emphasize the importance of education and especially to main tain at white heat the devotion of the people to the great cause of lib erty and democracy. for which the country is fighting. If re-elected I shall continue to do everything I can to accomplish these ends. Oregon has given twenty thousand of her sons to the great world war. These men are the flower of our young manhood and we have no clearer duty than that of loyally supporting them, providing for their health and comfort and safeguard ing their morals. I shall continue to render them every service in my power. Under our form of government the conduct of a foreign war de volves on the President of the United States, who is commander-in- chief of the Army and Navy. I shall do everything in my power to assist the President in making the sower of this country effective in the great world conflict. I shall particularly exercise every power and authority which I possess to promote a maximum efficiency in our local industries which are re lated to the war activities. No other duty is so pressing or at this time so important as that of win ning the war. No sacrifice is too great it it looks to the triumph of the forces battling for international righteousness. I shall stand in the future, as in the past, for rigid Jpw enforcement and for a cleaner and greater Ore gon. Oregon is firmly committed to the principles of prohibition and equal suffrage and, while they are no longer issues In this state, I shall continue to give these causes my full support. Every legitimate phase of state development should be supported, but at this time when our country is engaged in the most terrible war in the world's history the most rigid economy in state expenditure should be observed. E WHLNTRANSPORTSANK Everett Harpham, who was on the torpedoed Tuseania, wrote to bis brother, V. V. Harpham of tnis city, from an European town on Febru ary 15, concerning the disaster. An extract from the letter follows: I was unfortunate In being aboard the Tuseania when she was tor pedoed In the North Channel and had not the slightest idea of ever getting out of the mess alive. They hit us about six o'clock (dark) in tbe evening, and as the torpedo struck the engine room the ship could not beach herself although we were In sight of land. Ours was the last lifeboat to reach the water but did so in fine shape. We drifted about upon the rough waters in the channel, dipping water to keep from foundering, at the same time keep ing the ,boat aright with the waves. I saw the big ship go down and one could have heard the roar and rush of water upon her upper decks for miles. I do not believe there was a living soul aboard when she plunged as all had previously taken to the life boats or were rescued by the destroyers. However, little did we in the life-boats realize what was ahead of us. We drifted about for hours thinking perhaps we would be picked up, but it would have been j suicide for the larger boats to try to rescue us after dark in waters where the subamrine was lurking. So we continued to bail water, dodge the rocks and hope, until finally we sighted what looked like an island with trees upon it. We steered toward it but found that, instead ot trees, the objects we saw were cliffs of rock. Then we tried to row away but had drifted so near that the breakers were taking us in faster than we could row In the over crowded boat. The officer in com mand raised in our boat and threw his electric flashlight against tbe rugged shoals only a stone's throw ahead, and we could see the white foam dashing high on the rocks. Each breaker took us nearer until finally our boat struck with a ter rific crash and broke in a dozen pieces, and after that it was each man tor himself. Roy Muncaster, a ranger from the Olympic, who en listed when I did, did not have on a life belt and I am sure he was drowned. I was taken under by the waves, hit against the rocks, and finally by some act of Providence was thrown high on a rock where I managed to hang until I was able to crawl above the highest waves. The cold wind just about finished me, but six ot us, including a Lieu tenant, managed to huddle together under a rock where we lay in the water and mud for five hours before daylight, when a Scotch Highlander living on a plateau above, rescued us. He was told of the disaster by a soldier who was not hurt upon landing. Out of about sixty in my life boat only seven came out alive. We were treated royally by the Scotch people and I went to a hotel with others, where we received medical attention and kind attention otherwise. -I was badly bruised in several places and an internal bruise on my left side, but am getting along fine.

WS.S. WUtUYWOsSTAMrS M.uao v TMB UNITED STATES jOOVEftNMENT THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BY Judge N. G. Wallace Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company.which showed that the Company had been con sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. , The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: $875,000,000. 1 I Profit. Z $34,650,000. This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for hia cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per pound on dressed beef.
