Is Known as Berta Lydia Boyer, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. B. L. Boyer, of 453 Mil ler Avenus, Sellwood, and when Miss Berta Is not enjoying the mysitc ex hlliratlon of movie melodrama, she attends the Sellwood eighth grade school. She started oat Jo sea the world Monday morning reaching Ridgefield, Wr- and walking a large part of the distance from Portland. A kindly farmer's wife picked up the little lady at Ridgefield, Tuesday evening. Sheriff Viesecker was no tified at Vancouver, and the girls statement that, she ''and her father, enroute from Louisville, Ky had spent one night at a place called Ore ton City, led to notification of local officials. The little girl stuck to the story that her fathsr had suddenly dropped dead only last Saturday, and that a mysterious woman, with whom they were boarding, had immediately left for Salt Lake City, taking all her father's valuables and even the "good clothes" belonging to the little girl, she apologetically declared. The wo man had even refused to permit her to attend "daddy's funeral," the culmination of a series of cruel acts by a cruel vampire. For hours- she stuck to her story. She was finally brought to Oregon City Tuisday night by Juvenile Of ficer Frost, and Wednesday morning again told the wierd yarn, without variance, to Deputy District Attorney Burke and Mr. Frost. She could Identity none of the local hotels, and only after two hours' closa question ing on details of the tragedy, did the little lady become so confused that she admitted her story was made of whole cloth. Even then she would not reveal her Identity until the Port land juvenile department was called and it was learned that the city au thority had been on the lookout for her. She finally broke down entirely and agreed to return home, where she ivas taken by Officer Frost Wed nesday afternoon, and turned over to her parents. That the young lady is quite a "movie" fan, is indicated by her state ment to Deputy District Attorney Burke, that "The Master Key" was her favorite thriller, with "The Iron Claw" a close second. And of course to a young lady of Berta's peculiar temperament. Charlie Chaplin could be nothing more than "silly." COLUMBUS, O., May 21.

THE SLACKER Now since we've joined the army, do you think you're doing right, when you treat the slacker better than the man who has to fight? If he won't de lend his country he lsn t worth a damn, nothing but a nuisance in the eyes of Uncle Sam. From 18 years to 40, he's supposed to volunteer, and buckle on his arms with little sign of fear. But you'll find him changing dollars, playing games, and at the dance; for he'd rather go to hell than to take a trip to France. We're not supposed to grumble, but we think It mighty queet that the soldier drinks the water and the slacker gets the beer. We must al ways be in quarters rather early in the night and show up in the morning with our faces clean and bright. But the slacker is a piker, with no one else to please, save the one-and-torty pounder that he packs around with ease; he Is all for gain and pleasure and for Country takes no chance. But he ought to go to hell if he doesn't go to France. Beans Worry Wires Worth O n 1 v 8 Cents Big Deficit Looms The bean crop of the Live Wirss of the Oregon City Commercial Club Is for sale, and the members of the bean committes. of which O. D. Eby is chairman, are scratching their heads over the financial worries that confront them. The committee has on hand about one and one-half tons of beans', and the market price is only 8 cents. When the Wires w ent Into the bean raising business as a demonstration to help with the food conservation movement, they had visions of secur ing large profits, but they borrowed money from the three banks to finance the planting and harvasting of the cro and their notes are past due.

Dr. Kerr told how the Allied coun tries were in need of foodstuffs. He said that Franc3 and Italy were on the point of starvation. If anything should ko wrong here in not providing the food, these people would meet the fate of those of Russia lit the food question. Tha Allied food shortage now is ti4 UlMMJUU busneis 01 wneac. France is short 69 per cent of rice, 52 per cent of dry vegetables, 49 per cent of sugar, and 48 p-.-r cent of fats. 'The French crops, this year's planting, are only 45 per cent norm al. As all Allied experts agree that the war will not end for three to five years, the people of America must conserve in order to send the needed food. The gr?at sugar shortage in the East was caused by the need or sugar in France. France cabled for 50,000 tons of sugar, America responded to the call and shipped the amount and wh'n France cabled for 75,000,000 bushels of wheat, the United States sent 94,000,000, and expects to send more.'
