I h Should Get Busy No state in !the Union ris bet ter equipped for wood shipbuild ing than Oregon. She bus the natural resources, easyjof as sembly nt tidewater points; she has yards already in operation and others can be quickly pro vided. If given the opportun ity, this state could give the na tion a demonstration of record wood ship construction. Her neighbor, Washington, though probably equally equipped with timber resources, could not hope to surpass Oregon in wood ship production Vet Washington, at the present time, is leading Oregon in this industry, as it is in many other lines relating to Govornmont activities. This is not stated in any feeling of envy. The point is that Ore gon is neglected, and there must be a reason. 1 shnll try to indicate it. 1 have learned that there is a woll llxed idea in the minds of the Shipping Hoard that "it is physically impossible mr Oregon and Washington to cut lumber fast enough to meet thu orders of the shipyards." 'Jo the people of Oregon, knowing the Htatu's natural resources and milling capacity, such an idea is ridiculous. Hut there it is, in the Shipping Hoard's noodlo. It seems to mu thai it was essentially the business, yes, the duty, of the Oregon Congressional delegation to counteract this impression. Hnvo thoy done so, or tried to do ho? if so, nobody has noticed it. Passing up tho recent discus Hion in the Shipping l Joan I re specting tho merits of wood ships as compared with steel Hhip'j, the fact stands out thai whun the Hoard finally decided on a wood ship building pro gram, Washington was given nominal recognition, Oregon was comparatively slighted mid the bulk of the cnnlmclH went to Atnntie count yards. It de Yclopud that the latter could not obtain on the Atlantic sealHMird or in the south sullicicnl luiu bur to till their contracts, henci n call was made for lumber from Oregon and Washington necessitating an expensive haul and long delay over the trans continental rnilronih. Isn't it a fact that Oregon yards could have had tho keels laid for most of this licet and tho work of construction well under way in the time required for such transportHtion of bun bur eastward? I think I am sfi in answering yes. Ami, since time is of the essence of the Government's war shipbuilding program, would it not have buon a highly iti ittic service for the Oregon (.'ongrtiuiioiiHl dulogation to have laid down on tho Shipping Hoard and pro- Hontod Oregon's advantages? Did tliey do so? AgNin, I nay. if thoy did. iioIhhIy Iinn noticed it. If they did, where are the ruHiilU? 1 ask, why are the members of our delegation sit ting around, letting Oregon shipyards go unnoticed when thoy aro not only ready and capable, but anxious to take on conirueia, ami sun more eon tracts? Have the renresenta- tivos of Oregon in Congren au idea of the number of ships we nro building for the Govern mont. or how many more we could build if given the elmmv? Does the Oregon delegation understand the Government's needs for tonnage. niiiI its in ability to have shis built ah fast na needed back on the At lantic coast? If ho, why did not thin delegstion make a dusty path between its ollice nnd the ollieo or the Shipping Hoard, eternally lioosting Oregon's ship yards and insisting thai they be given moro work? The Wash ington delegation kept the trail hot, and that's why they got re siiltd; but there is manifestly a dilToronco between the Washing ton delegation anil the Oioumi delegation. After all. it's the ability of a Congressional dele- guuon to gimp what its state needs and get those needs prop- ory before the right authorities that counts.

The war situation is critical. Unless tho Allies fight as they never yet have fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England, and Italy aro going hungry unless wo feed them. Wheat Savinga They must have wheat. It is tho best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship. We alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little less than a quarter of what we ate last year we can support those who arc fighting our battles. And wo can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good. The Corn of Plenty Corn is that food. There's a surplus of it. Providence hns been generous in the hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over nnd above our regular needs. All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made ho easy? And ho clear? America's Own Food Corn! It is the true American food. Tho Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it. Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a continent. For a great section of our country it has blong con the Htaff of life. How well the South fought on it, history toils. Now it can help America win a world war. Lonrn Something Corn! It isn't ono food. It's n dozen. It's u cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread. It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it, dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other vegetables. U'h good to oat; how good you don't know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked. Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic. Corn's Infinite Variety How much do you know about corn? About how good it is? About tho many delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss by not knowing more about it? Hero aro a few of its uses: There aro at least fifty ways to uso corn monl to make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or break fast.

YOU know what broiling: does to steak, baking; to a potato and toasting; to bread. In each case flavor is brought out by cooking;by "toasting;." So you can imagine how toasting improves the flavor of the Burley tobacco used in the Lucky Strike Cigarette. IT'S TOASTED Caldwell & Patterson LEAD.
