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

wards, observing as far as possible

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

tising rates, 1 5c per Inch for display

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.

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. All my personal equip-

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.
