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. In the wood ship
building program the Oregon
uuiui;iuion nns lanun down: in
fact, it never functioiUHl.K. C.

FACE the FACTS
LET us face the facts. 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. Hero arc Home suggestions:

YOU COOK Y05JR
FOOD WHY NOT
YOUR TOBACCO?
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.
