WOODVIEW DISTRICT BUYS
MANY SAVINGS STAMPS
. In . the campaign being waged for
the sale of Thrift and War Savings
stamps, the work done by the school
children of the county is proving a
big factor in aiding the success of
the movement. County Superintend
ent Calavan reports that many flat
tering reports are being received
from the outlying districts, and that
intense interest is manifest through
out the entire county. To date, it is
the energy and patriotism of the
residents, of the Woodview district
that brings their total sales of
stamps to the record. Two commit
teemen, George Murry and A. W.
Campbell, have had charge of the
campaign there, and due to a system
atic canvass and advertising drive,
they secured the sale of 359 W. S. S.
and 33 Thrift stamps. The Wood
view quota had been set at about
$2,500, and during the first few days
of the drive the committeemen were
able to report that they had secured
nearly $1,500 of that sum.
According to Superintendent Cala
van, the object of the government in
this campaign of Thrift and War
Savings stamps, is not so much to
have bank deposits withdrawn and
invested, as it is to have each per
son lay aside a small sum from the
daily income. In this manner, the
spirit of thrift and economy will be
inculcated into the daily scheme' of
living.

About the State
Resume of the News of the
Week from All Parts
of Oregon
Bend Cattle rustling, the popular
pastime of the old frontier days, and
a relic of the pre-civilization days in
old Oregon, has been unearthed and
brought to the bar of justice here.
Grover Caldwell, the defendent, is be
ing tried in the justice court on the
charge of stealing a steer from U.
S. Bushnell, of Pilot Butte. It is ex
pected by those in touch with the
case that the trial and conviction of
Calwell will bring to light many in
teresting disclosures related to the
cattle thievery in central Oregon,
For. the past year hundreds of head
of stock have been stolen and con
verted either for private use, or sold
to the dealers of the state, and if a
ring of .rustlers is - uncovered and
convicted in the present agitation, it
is thought that the blot will be per
manently removed.
Hillsboro The Commercial club' at
their meeting here last week com
menced activities tending to offset
the threatened labor shortage that
stares the agriculturist in the face,
As explained to the club by C. E.
Wells, county representative of the
food administration, the ship yards
in Portland will draw heavily from
the ranks of the farm laborers, due
to the better Wages offered, and in
order to secure aid in harvesting the
crops in this section special induce
ments and arrangements will have to
be made. It is suggested that city
folks forego their vacation this sea
son, and help the farmers gather the
harvests. The farmers are to be ask
ed to list their labor requirements
with .the club, so that they can be
considered when the question comes
up for settlement.
RED CROSS AUTHORIZED
TO DEAL WITH ENEMY
The American Red Cross has been
granted a license by the war trade
board to "trade ' with the enemy."
This is how it came about: The
privilege of sending letters, food, and
money to American prisoners of war
in Germany has been granted ex
clusively to the Red Cross by the
German government. ,
- Germany demands a return for
this privilege. She asks the Red
Cross to act as the medium through
which German fathers and mothers
can send a "word from home" or a
remembrance to sons confined in
American prison camps, and to a
minor extent to her prisoners in
French and British camps.
This, in a sense, constitutes "trad
ing with the enemy." Thus it was
necessary to get the sanction of the
war trade board for the undertaking.
This has just been secured, and the
license issued. It gives the Ameri
can Red Cross a blanket authoriza
tion for communication with prison
ers of war over the entire world
enemy, allied, and neutral.
Our flag is red, and white and blue,
The little Thrift stamp's green,
The colors, though, don't matter
much, -But
victory's what they mean.

Eugene "I'd love to be warm
clear through again now I only am
in patches," wrote Miss Lulu Geil,
nurse, from France, and a number of
her friends in Eugene sent her a
gift recently which may assist in
helping her reach that blissful stage.
The gift consists of a knitted set,
much like those with which the nurs
es who are leaving- for France now
are outfitted. The set of five pieces
is all of soft gray yarn and every
stitch hand knit. There is a sweater
with long sleeves, a roll collar and
big pockets, a pair of roomy, full
length tights, a cap to be worn out
doors or for a sleeping cap, leggings,
and a pair of ventilated sleeping
socks. Each article has the words
"Lulu Geil, U. S. A.," sewed into it
on a strip of silk.
Miss Geil who is a former Spring
field girl, is a graduate nurse, and
was the first instructor in surgical
dressings at the Eugene Red Cross
headquarters. She went to France
last summer and is now stationed in
an officers' hospital on night duty.
She is a member of the British ex-.
peditionary force, but expects to be
transferred to the American army
early in the summer. Miss Geil is a
daughter of Mrs. Sue Geil, of Spring

Albany A story from Eugene says
$2,000 worth of War Savings stamps
were sold there in half an hour.
Postmaster Stewart of Albany can
beat that record all to pieces, for in
ten minutes he sold to J. H. Bikman,
a well-known Albany tailor, $3,800
worth of the valuable little papers.
Mr. Bikman is a native of Kief,
Russia, the capital of the province of
Ukrania, where so much strife is
now in progress. Mr. Bikman has
proved his loyalty to this country by
helping win the war for democracy.
He bought the stamps for each mem
ber of his family and proposes to
raise the amount to $5,000 in a very
short time.
Mr. Bikman thinks that there is
nothing like the W. S. S. for saving,
and he is not backward in putting
his savings into them at the time
when the government needs the
money most. Democrat. .

BULK HANDLING OF GRAIN
; GAINING FARMERS' FAVOR
Bulk handling is gaining in the
farmers' favor and making rapid pro
gress in all parts of 9reKn visited
by the O. A. C. specialists in ' that
line. The readiness with which
wheat . growers have sized up the
situation and are preparing for
farm storage is relieving apprehen
sion as to means of handling the
crop.
Farmers in 20 well attended meet
ings in six counties Were nearly un
animous in favor of bulk handling,
reports Professor G. R. Hyslop.
"The 'two-bit' sack is helping the
movement, and the uncertainty of de
livery of safcks is hurrying it along,"
he says. "Some are preparing to use
second-hand bags, but most farmers
will bulk 100 per cent from the start.
Asking the government to charter
tonnage for shipping two-bit. sacks
and burlap from India is considered
by many progressive farmers- as un
patriotic and unpractical when bulk
ing is so much cheaper and need for
shipping space is critical."

McMinnville Owing to a govern
ment order that milk from the con
densers shall test a sertain per cent,
of butter fat, the price for milk drops
to $2.50 per hundred, and no greater
price is to be paid for milk that tests
higher than 4 per, cent. Milk
transported on railroads is to be
charged 10c per hundred for cartage.
Dairymen estimate that it costs an
average of 30c per day per cow for
mill, feed a$d hay, and say that after
deducting cost of pasture, labor, and
money invested, it will take close
figuring to break even, and some can
not do that. The price which has
been paid was $2.90 locally, and in
some places as high as $3, and this
was according to test and without
cartage charge. This new regulation
gives the owner of Holsteins the
laugh on the owner of Jerseys, if
there is any chance for a laugh any
where, which we surmise there t isn't.

not be so bad, but war times brings

each square several colors of yarn
are usually used. Some knitters
work their names into the squares
and some ornament them in other
