Seventh and Main Streets Merchandise of Merit at Popular Prices Liberty Corner PEOPLE NEXT TO JACKSON'S BILL (Continued from Page 1) In view of the general condition of affairs it is a rather astounding bit of legislation that Sam Jackson, edi tor of the Portland Journal, would foist onto the statute books tthis fall. It is astounding to the person unacquainted with the facts, but to those who understand the motives underlying the proposed measure, Mr. Jackson's scheme is petty, diabol ically dirty, and as malicious as any piece of legislation that was ever framed to be "put over" on the citi zens of Oregon. You have your home paper, you believe in it, and you realize that its influence as a community build er is big. Do you know, also, that a man high in affairs of the nation has recently stated that the first, second, third and fourth Liberty loans would never have been pos sible without the generous support of the press of Oregon and of the nation? Do you know, too, that not one cent of advertising was appro priated by the government to help the press make the loan a success? But to return to Jackson's malic ious measure. He and some Port land attorneys have decided that the legal advertising rate, which provid es that publishers shall not be paid a greater sum than five cents per line, is altogether too high to suit his imperial taste. He therefore has prepared an initiative 'petition and wants the voters of Oregon to lower the rate, in accordance with his wishes. This is Millionaire Jackson's way of "getting even" with the press of Oregon. He has been unable to dic tate to the thinking editors of the state who have steadily refused to be whipped into line to support Jack son's single tax and other campaigns waged by the Journal. He has chos en the psychological time to carry put his nefarious plan a time when probably ninety nine per cent of the papers of the state are struggling to keep the wolf from the door, that they may "carry pn" in their import ant mission of helping Uncle Sam's war activities. It is a scheme quite worthy of Jackson and a really clever way to cut the throats of the coun try editors. Bring his advertising rates down below cost -and you can run him out of the field! Isn't It a commendable work for a millionaire publisher to be engaged in? Unfortunately for Jackson the vot ers are onto his little game. They believe in their own communities they believe in their home papers and they are generous enough to ad mit that the newspaper men of the state have a God-given right to live in Oregon, in spite of Editor Jack son s personal wishes in the matter, t J Obituaries I The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Putman, Esther, died at the family home at Thirteenth and Madison streets Tuesday in this city with cholera infantum, after a short illness. The mother and a little five-year-old brother are also seriously ill. Esther Ruth Putman was born January 19, 1917, in Nebraska, and later moved with her parents to Ore gon City from a logging camp a few weeks ago. Funeral services took place from the Brady undertaking parlors Wednesday at 2 o clock, and interment was in the MountainView cemetery. A I mm. M f .x xv" ' m m Strong, Forceful Men Wiffe Plenty of Iron In Tiieir Blood These Are the Ones With the Power and Energy To Win "Many a capable man or woman falls just short of winning because they don't back up their mentality with the physical strength and energy which come from hav ing plenty of Iron in the blood," says Dr. lames I'raill'is Ktlllivrin frtrmarl.r Clan of Bellevue Hosnitnl fOutflnnr IWf ht... it i. .i.. tu. . . , i-.,,.. i, new iuik, aim me westcnes- ter County Hospital. "Lack of Iron m the blood not only makes a man a physical and mental weakling, nervous, irritable, easily fatigued, but it utterly robs him of that virile force, that stamina and strength of will which are so necessary to success and power in every walk of life. It may also transform a beautiful, sweet-tempered woman into one who is cross, nervous and irritahle. To help make strong, keen red-blooded Americans there is nothing in my experience which I have found so valuable as organic ironNuxated Iron. It often increases the strength ana endurance of weak, nervous, run-down people in two weeks' time." Wuxated Iron is now being used by over three million people annually, including such men as Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary of the i reasury, and ex-Governor of Iowa; former United Slates Senator and Vice-i residential nominee Charles A. Towne, General John L. Clem (re tired), the drummer boy of Shiloh who was sergeant in the U. S. Army when only twelve years of age; also United States Judge G. W. Atkinson of the Court of Claims of Washington, and others.

Relief for the Greek people around Saloniki, for instance for which the Red Cross has just giv en $165,000, is dismissed without fur ther thought. Yet it calls for ship menls every month of 320 tons of foodstuffs, beside other material. This is also true of Switzerland, of Serbia to whom a gift of $50,000 more has just been given even of England. The stream of supplies to Great Britain is growing larger every day as more American soldiers go into camp, and to the need for canteens is added hospital houses, oil stoves, a thousand footballs, choco late, flour in a word for all the thousand and one things that consti tute Red Cross work.

M Asking the co-operation of the members of the oil industry and the public at large in the movement to conserve man-power, D. M. Folsom director of the Pacific coast section of the oil division of the fuel admin istration, has announced that all sell ers and distributors of gasoline and engine distillate, without exception, have been requested to limit their sales to the hours between 6 a. m. and 6 p. m. The appeal is being made in all states of the Pacific coast section, including California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Ne vada, Utah and the Hawaiian Islands. The limit of the hours of service will work no inconvenience on the gaso line and engine distillate consuming public, requiring only a little fore thought in order to secure their re quirements.

CRESCENT Your correspondent of Crescent, pegs pardon for the long silence, and hopes to do better in the future Our delinquency is the result of num erous activities, mostly on account of the war. With all our domestic du ties, aiding in agricultural pursuits and Red Cross 'work, there are few in our district that have had a vaca tion just worked straight along, tak ing the old saying literally, that "A change of work is as good as a rest." Our auxiliary comprises about 21 members, and an average of 10 work' ers get together weekly.

We are to have a service flag at the school house and it will have about one dozen stars to begin with Mr. Scott, our county agricultural adviser, gave us a good talk at our League meeting last Saturday even ing, and now it behooves our mem bers to bring out questions of gen eral interest for discussion. They are requested to bring articles deal ing with present day factors, origin al or otherwise, and thereby arrouse an interest in the needs of our time, Our Crescent school is closed on account of the teacher's illness. It is hoped she will soon recover and be able to return to her duties. Mrs. Myrtle Paneck, her children, and father, are preparing tc move to Portland, where they hope for bet ter opportunities for work and liv ing. They will leave quite a vacancy m our school. We wish them success. Elmer Hitchman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hitcjiman, who was called to take an examination for war service, was found to be afflict ed with tuberculosis. He and his wife have gone to California, where he is followed by the good wishes of his many friends. Mrs. G. W. Waldron was called to Mulino by the sudden death of her brother-in-law, J. W. Akins, on the evening of September 19th. He had lived in the Willamette valley for more than forty years and leaves wife and two daughters, one brother and three sisters. He was 57 years old, and was a quiet, unassuming man of sterling qualities, and will be mourned and missed by his relatives and many friends. Mrs. Fay Livesay returned last week from Ecola, near Seaside, where she had been called to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Daisy Cogan, who has been ill with pneumonia. Mrs. Livesay left her improving. Her many friends here wish her a quick and permanent recovery. ' Took Out Dreadful Soreness When the kidneys are weakened or overworked so that they fail to fil ter and throw impurities out of the blood, the poison remains in the sys tem and backaches, soreness, lame ness and rheumatic pains are likely to develop. Mrs. David Henry, 65 S. Lincoln Ave., Washington, N. J., writes: "Foley Kidney Pills are do inf me much good, both my kidneys and the rheumatism. They took all the dreadful soreness out of my limbs.

Newly inducted men are eligible no matter how short their service may be and men are now sent to these camps in larger num ber and with greater frequency than ever before. For the man who is ambitious and who wants to get in a branch that does big things and is never dull, this is, his opportunity. DIPPING BETTER THAN SPRINKLING FOR SMUT The dipping method of seed treat ment for smut in Oregon fields has given much better control than the sprinkling method, Corvallis field agent of the U. S. bureau of plant industry. In 12 fields planted with a solution of formaldehyde, from 1 to 30 per cent of the heads were smutted on an average of 9.5 per cent, In 57 fields planted with seed treated by dipping in like solutions, the number of smutted heads ran from zero to 5 per cent or an average of a half of one per cent of diseased heads. The sprinkling method is practiced quite generally in the northern Wil lamette district, where there is con siderable smut. The unsatisfactory results are probably due to the use of insufficient liquid two-thirds of a gallon to the bushel being the mini mum necessary or to the failure to rid the seed of the unbroken smut balls that can be skimmed off in the immersion method. . Directions for correct treatment for smut can be had by writing the Oregon Agricultural College at Cor vallis. Growers using the dipping method of treatment with formaldehyde have been more successful in controling wheat smut in Oregon this year than those using the sprinkling method. Fields treated by the first method average one-half per cent smut against 9 per cent for the latter. Says H. M. Woolman of the U. S. bureau of plant industry at the Ore gon experiment station. Direction for correct treatment may be had from O. A..C, Corvallis. HOW COTTAGE CHEESE IS MADE BY UNCLE SAM This is the way Uncle Sam makes cottage cheese: 1 gallon of skimmed milk at a temperature of 75 degrees; 1 cupful of buttermilk or thick, sour milk for a starter; 1-8 of a junket tablet dis solved in 2 tablespoonfuls of water. Stir the milk, the starter, and the dissolved junket tablet thoroughly together. Set aside overnight. In the morning, without heating, pour the curd, without breaking it more than necessary, upon a piece of heavy muslin. Drain until it reaches the desired consistency. To hasten draining use an improvised press. Season to taste with cream and salt. More than 3,000 copies of the U. S. bulletin "Cottage Cheese Dishes" have been placed at the Oregon Aeri cultural College for free distribu tion. Send for copy before supply is exhausted. Why FISHER'S BLEND Flour? The Government has advanced the price of Oregon and Wash ington Wheats. B To tneet this advance manufacturers of Oregon and Washington Wheat flours have increased their prices, until there is little if any difference between the price of Oregon and Washington Wheat Flours and that of FISHER'S BLEND. . J The superior quality of FISHER'S BLENas , compared with other flours is absolutely the same now as before. I Just as in pre-war times FISHER'S BLEND is made of choicest Eastern Hard wheat and choicest Washington Bluestem. If it was economy in pre-war times to pay more for FISHER'S BLEND than for other flours, certainly it is greater economy now to buy it at practically the same price for which other flours sell. I FISHER'S BLEND is the ideal flour to use with Wheat Substitutes. These substitutes lack a balanced gluten. They require mixture with a strong wheat flour. ,. (J FISHER'S BLEND is a strong wheat flour. CJ FISHER'S SUBSTITUTES, including Fisher's Corn Flour, Fisher's Milo Maize Flour, Fisher's Barley Flour and Fisher's Corn Meal, work per fectly with FISHER'S BLEND Flour because the. same painstaking care is used in the manufacture of the one as in the manufacture of the other.
