. SUGAR SAVING CAMPAIGN 1
Nation Mut Reduce Consump
tion of Sugar Ont-Thlrd for
Remainder of the Year 1917.
(By Lorene A. Parker, Home Ixmion
atration Agent.)
A ugar famine is threatening us.
Our present sugar supply is sufficient
for our own consumption only until
the first of January, We have been
using at the rate of ninety pounds per
capita per year. The French have
for some time been on a ration of lea
than two tablespoons per day, and
utiles the American Nation can send
them a hundred thousand (100,000)
tons during the next two months this
ration will be reduced to nothing.
Cut down the amount of sugar to six
tableapoon a day for each person and
our task la done. Every conserva
tion committee In each community
should begin a campaign against the
ue of cane and beet sugar for holi
day confectionery, and using glucose,
molasses, corn syrup and dried fruits
instead.
A family of five should limit the
ugar used in all cooking and served
on the table In any form. Including
candy, to one pound (2 cups) a day
for the remainder of the year. After
January the new West Indian crop
will be available and the sugar situ
ation will probably be less tense.
Recipe for holiday confectionery
will be aent to anyone in the county
by the Home Demonstration Agent,
upon request.

29 head of pure-blooded animals, two

seven heifers, arrived in Oregon City
from the east on Tuesday evening by
the American express, and were in ex

nere. xnese antmaia are now quar
tered in the building owned by the
Hawley Pulp t Paper company on
Fourth and Main streets, the building
having been donated for the use of the
same by Mr. Hawley, and the animals
placed on exhibit for about ten day.
This will give the people of this city
and of Clackamas county an Idea as
to what Clackamaa county possesses
in the way of high-class Guernseys
These have been purchased for the
Clackamas County Guernsey Breeders'
association, and will probably be in
spected on Friday.
These high class animals were se
lected by E. L.Westover, of the Ore
gon Agricultural college, and J. C.
Whalley, an attorney and well known
judge of high class animals, of Port
land. These men have used excellent
Judgment in selecting these Guernseys
and the association Is pleased over
their choice. Seventeen head were
purchased from the Mixter farm at
Hardwick, Mass.; eight head from the
Ralph Pratt farm at Whitewater, Wis
consin; four head from Waukesha,
Wisconsin. Those purchased in Mass
achusetts represent the Langkater
breeding, and are from the finest pro
ducing blood of the United States.
Those from Whitewater, are the best
of type aa well as production. Those
from Wisconsin are high producers
and good type, and are from the finest
breeding stock of Waukesha.
These animals left Massachusetts
on November 12th, and have been' giv
en the best of attention by the Ameri
can Express company. Mr. Westover
and Mr. Whalley made the return trip
in the car with the animals, and stated
upon their arrival here that they have
suffered considerably from cold weath
er while enroute to Oregon, and that
the only favorable weather they have
seen since leaving here is In this
state. On many occasions it was nec
essary to scrape ice and snow from
the car window in order to Bee out.
These cattle are valued at $15,000.
They are to go to members of the
association residing at Hubbard, High
land, Logan and West Side districts.
In order to avoid delay in reach
ing Oregon City, the American Ex
press company furnished a special en
gine for their transportation over the
railway line to Oregon City.

FIREFIGHTERS
ANNUAL BANQUET
A HUGE SUCCESS
With "Jack" Frost seiiurety hand-
lifted and a 20-pound ball and chain
on his skinny leg as a means of "keep
ing him from harm,' the 79 fire-eating
member of the volunteer Are depart
ment of Oregon City gazed at the dell
cat side stepping of Mr. Bradley who
glided swiftly and gracefully before
poor Jack'a eyes In the Highland Fling
which could not have been more grace
fully danced. That Is the way Ore
gon CIty'a fire protection enjoyed thnir
annual banquet and reunion of all hose
companies in the city last night at the
Woodmen of the World hall.
With a special table slightly raised
at one end of the hall, Grant B. Dlm
lck served as toast master with Mayor
E. C. Hackett on his right and City
Recorder John W. Loder at hi left.
Using the portly toast master' own
phase, "an angel between two devils,""
In another exalted position stood a
table reserved for the members of the
city council, Constable Jack Frost and
Chief of Police Lee French. Though
the district's estimable constable was
in ball and chain, he wa soon released
by Chief of Police French and retired
to a chair in a prominent place near
door where he was subjected to
many other embarrassing experiences,
(which is censured by the press.)
Then Toastmaster Dimlck became
aware of hi Important position and
called upon the following old time fire
men who spoke of their former exper
iences and ended with a request to
the members of the council who were
present to effect the purchase of fire
truck. L. Ruconich, Ed Taylor, Chris
Hartman and numerous others who
were called upon but declined to make
speech. This was particularly evi
dent in the case of Babe Elliott who
was asked by Toastmaster Dimlck how
much fire water he had rescued from
burning buildings. Babe did nothing
more than blush, while those who sat
nearer him noticed the young real es
tate man painfully lick hia dry lips.
He was bothered no further.
In addition to being qualified fire
men, Clem, Young, Noble, Price and
others served excellently as waiters,
tip-toeing lightly among the tables
with flowing white aprons swishing
about their feet. Overlooking that,
their service could not have been beat,
short of home sweet home. "
Music that thrilled the fire-eaters
was rendered by Gustav Flechtner on
the violin and F. F. Theroux on the
piano, while between the brief
speeches of the firemen, Blanche Bur-
ritt'a clear voice rang through Jhe hall,
singing fMy Butterfly," "Keep the
Home Fires Burning," "Oh Johnnie."
and others, (meaning songs), while
Miss Keru, a capable young pianist of
Portland, accompanied each word with
bell-like tones emanating from the
piano. Mrs. Bradley, Blanche Burritt
and Miss Keru are of Portland, and
the fire-fighting blood of Oregon City
will no doubt some day see these
charming young ladles across the foot
lights of the Star theatre, or Grand.
Sheriff W. J. Wilson was so deeply
impressed with the presence of the
ladies at the fireman's blow-out that
he arose and expressed his Joy at their
presence and unaparalled assistance
in making the boys evening one of re
membrance. .
Toastmaster Dimick arose, took con
siderable time clearing his throat, and
broached a plea for the support of the
Y. M. C. A. In it's noble work with our
boys away from home. He compared
the life the boys now lead in uncom
fortable hovels, and their previous
life by the fireside at home. He told
of the necessity of books and home
like environment in the military
camps which would prevent the soldier
boys from becoming homesick, 1 and
wrecking their fighting spirit. That
the boys at home could do a great
work, even though they were not at
the front, was clearly pointed out by
Mr. Dimick in his explanation and plea
for a great T. M. C. A. support.
NOVEMBER DAYS
R
Had it not been for the presence of
one lone man, Dr. A. L. .Beatle, the
girls of the Honor Guard would have
made a practical demonstration that,
men are non-essential when it conies
to the real work of the world. Wed
nesday night the young ladies turned
out in full force at the warehouse of
the Oregon Commission company arid
sorted the bean crop which was raised
by their labor, so that the entire crop
will go on the market as choice hand
picked.
To show what Oregon soil and clim
ate, when aided by the young ladles
can do it was decided to send enough
of the crop to President Wilson and
Food Commissioner Hoover to enable
them to determine to their own satis
faction that the beans of Oregon sur
pass those grown In any section of the
United States. The beans will reach
the White House in time for Thanks
giving dinner. V
After the work of the evening was
completed a number of selections were
rendered on the phonograph and danc
ing was enjoyed for a short time.
The Honor Guard Girls will meet
next Sunday morning at 9 o'clock and
march in a body to the Logus tract
where the day will be apent in harvest
ing the crop of potatoes which they
have grown.
