HARLKY VIEWS THE ANIMALS
F. C. Harley, mayor of Astoria
and booster for the raciflc coast, in
so far as the coast means Astoria
and vicinity at least, is tn Washing
ton, and has been viewing the ani
mals at the national capital, as he
would perhaps state It
He has discovered what many of
ns have known for years, and that
is that a large number of house and
senate committees exist in name
only, for the apparent purpose of
getting more clerks and other ap
purtenances that are given com
mittee members.
He has also found that the entire
delegation from Oregon la not get
ting what a bunch of able men
should get In the way of develop,
ment and other appropriations for
the state which sends them thore.
The most striking case is that of
the chairman of the committee on
military affairs, who is the senior
1 senator from Oregon.
Cantonments, military bnsos and
other military moneys are being ex
pended by the billons, everywhere
but In Oreuon, and the drfunscs on
the Columbia are not as strong as
they should be, which is not a mili
tary socrot, but a well known fact.
This is not the only case of lack
of application to committee y oppor
tunities, but perhaps the most strik
ing one.
More strength to Harley. Would
that more fire be added to his elo
quence, more virility to his pen,
and that more men of his ability get
behind the delegation tn Washington
to assist them in getting mora of
the things for which we pay, and to
which wo are entitled.

"Every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what
is only organised pillage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ran
sacked on system; Its cltixens plun
dered, its civil officials terrorised,
imprisoned, outraged or killed. The
civil populations have been, contrary
to the usage of modern warfare,
forced to serve the invading armies,
brutally put to death, reduced to
wholesale starvation, and desolation.
Vast tracts of the richest and moat
industrious districts of Europe have
been deliberately stripped aifO
plunged into famine, solely In order
that the Invaders might make war
cheaply. Irregular troops, contrary
to all the practice of war, have been ;
systematically murdered, and civil i
populations indiscriminately massa

regular system of ingenious terror-
To The
American People
There u no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and I want to say emphatic
ally that Swift & Company is not a party to
any conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment Nor has Swift & Company been
, guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conferences of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing a felony by acting
in collusion on Government bids I
We have done our best, with other
packers, large and small, to comply with
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S.
x Army and Navy and the Allies, now be
ing handled through the Food Adminis
tration. We will continue to do our utmos thun
der Government direction, to increase our
production and assist the Food Adminis
tration. We consider that me opportunity
to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the
Government is our plain and most press
ing duty.
The Trade Commission Attorney has,
by false inference and misplaced empha
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken from our private
files and read into the Record, a false and
sinister meaning with the plain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services of the packers of the
United States are most urgently needed,
and I regret exceedingly that we should at
this time have to spend our efforts in
defending ourselves against unfounded,
unproved, and unfair assertions such as
are being daily made public

THE sooner the American
people look the facts in the
face the sooner the war will
be over and the fewer American
soldiers will lie in their graves on

The facts are these:

We cannot go on living as we did before the war. We
cannot have the comforts and luxuries we used to have.
Do not be misled by the fact that we can
raise armies far outnumbering those of
our enemy. Our soldiers cannot fight
with bare hands and empty stomachs,
and we cannot arm and feed them if we
go on consuming vast quantities of foods
and goods we don't need if we demand,
for our selfish comfort, the labor of thous
ands of men who ought to be hustling
night and day to supply the ships, aero
planes, guns, ammunition, motor trucks,
clothing ana food our soldiers must
have if we are to win this war.
Our country needs the money you thought
lessly spend for unnecessary things. It
needs desperately needs the labor em
ployed in making these things, Hegin to

by all means save, by buying U.S. Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps, the
small sums of money you now spend
for things you can get along without
Go today to any bank, any post office or
any store where you see the W. S, S.
(War Savings Stamps) sign displayed.
For 25 cents you will receive a U. S. Thrift
Stamp and a card to paste It on. The card
has spaces for 16 stamps, costing you $4.
When it is full, exchange it with a few
cents additional in cash for a War Sav
ings Stamp, for which the Government
will pay you $3 January 1, 1921
These War Savings Stamps are as safe as
U. S. Bonds. They are the safest invest
ment in the world because they are
backed by the entire resources of the
country, and the profit you make on them
amounts to 4 per cent interest, compound
ed quarterly, on January 1, 1923.
Every time you have money you don't ab
