Big Four POLLING PLACES SOUGHT 16 COUNTY Preparations Made to Expedite List ing of Citizens Subject to Draft When President Designates Date for Work. To Sheriff Tom Hurlburt, of Multno mah County, falls the honor of being the first Sheriff in the state to reply to instructions sent out Friday by Adjutant-General George A. White, pursuant to an order by Governor Withycombe, as to the organization of the state for the war census. Sheriff Hurlburt replied immediately to General White that he would give his heartiest co-operation in the plan to appoint immediately a war census marshal in each of the 375 precincts of the county to handle the war census in that precinct. Hardly had the reply to the Adjutant General been mailed than Sheriff Hurl burt, as good as his word, had sent letters to the chairman of the election toard in each of the 375 precincts ap pointing him war census marshal for that precinct,. The letter contained fur ther detailed instructions relative to selection of at least five volunteer as sistants to aid in the taking of the census. Census Marshals nmeil. "Pursuant to an order issued by the Adjutant-General, state of Oregon, un der date of May 4, 1917," read this let ter, "t hereby appoint you war census marshal for precinct Noj "You will take particular note of and comply with paragraphs Vos. 1 and 2 of the official orders, which are as follows: " "No. 1. This official, tinder your di rection and supervision, will be held responsible for execution of the de tails of taking the war census in his ' precinct. He will be authorized, and required, to secure the services of such assistants, not less than five, as he may require. "No. 2. AH services will be per formed without compensation. It is believed that in view of the present National crisis, when the integrity and safety of the Nation la at stake, no objection will be entered by any Amer ican citizen to performing this serv ice in' the country's Interest without iPay. "It is imperative that you imme diately organize your assistants as pro vided in paragraph No. 1, and you are hereby authorized to command the services of anyone, that you may exe cute the provisions of this order. "You will be held personally re sponsible by the War Department for failure to comply with the above order. "Information as to date and further details will follow. You will acknowl edge receipt of this communication by mailing to me promptly the enclosed card." Deputy Pratt In Charge. Sheriff Hurlburt designated Chief Deputy Martin Pratt to take personal charge of the replies of the war cen sus marshals. In the meantime, the Sheriff, in co-operation with, the Port land Police Department, set to work to obtain the necessary 375 polling places to be used on the day of the war census. Had it not been that he Is on the ground, so to speak, and able to get in communication with the Adjutant-General quicker than any other Sheriff, however. Sheriff Hurlburt would have had s nip-and-tuck race with Sheriff J. C. Applegate, of Washington County, for the honor of first replying to Gen eral White's orders. Sheriff Applegate's letter of reply arrived at General White's office early In the afternoon. In it the Sheriff promised his fullest and most hearty co-operation with the Adjutant-General's office in its plans to take the war census rapidly and efficiently. "Oregon First" Again Is) Hope. The official instructions given out by the War Department yesterday for the organization of the states suggests ap pointment of a registrar for each elec tion precinct, but leaves details to the various states. General White's plan for appointing a war census marshal in such precinct is virtually the same as the War Department suggestion, but the organization of this state was well under way before the War Department suggestions appeared. Governor Withycombe and General White desire to have Oregon maintain in the taking of the war census the proud position it has already attained in being the first state to complete the mobilization of its National Guard troops, the first to recruit a regiment to full war strength, the first to obtain its required quota of men for the United States Navy and the first in other im portant respects. Oregon Food t Campaign C OFFICIAL) V'se .Dandelions. THE abundant supply of dandelions may be used at this time in help ing to relieve Ihe vfood shortage and keep down the high cost of living. Let us revert to the customs of our fore fathers and use these healthful greens, which may be nad for the picking, and incidentally clean our yards of a troublesome weed. , Growing, as they do, close to the ground, dandelion greens are likely to be full of grit and must be carefully washed and rinsed through several waters. The most common way of preparing dandelions is as a potherb, or greens, and It is a mistake to cook them more than is needed to make them tender. If they are boiled with one-eighth teaspoonful of soda to each quart of greens they will keep their color better. When young they may also be used uncooked in salads. Dandelions may be preserved for fu ture use by banning, like spinach, or they may be "put down" in salt. This method consists of placing a layer of dandelions in a crock, then a layer of alt, and so on in alternate layers un til the vessel is filled. This should be well weighed down to keep the greens packed solid. Other wild plants often used as preens are pigweed, curly dock, chick weed, mustard shoots, young horse radish leaves and pepper cress.

The machinery was sold this week to Portland inter ests for a sawmill at a shipyard. HARMONY BOARD AT WAR Division, of School District Upsets Complacency of Directors. ALBANY, Or.. May 5. (Special.) That the residents of Harmony school district are not in harmony developed yesterday when two opposing delega tions from that district appeared before the County Court here one favoring and one opposing the division of the school district. The delegations lived up to the name of their district in one respect, however, for they were far more harmonious in their argument of the question than opposing factions in such matters are usually. This school district is situated west of Halsey and southeast of Peoria. It is one of the older school districts of the county. PRUNINGS MUST BE BURNED Fruit Inspector to Enforce law More Strictly.

Only Applicants With Former Serv ice Will Bo Accepted Greater Portion of Enlistments Are From Rural Districts. when 15 stalwart young men were accepted for enlistment in the United States Navy at the Navy recruiting office In the Dekum building yesterday, they brought the total number of Navy enlistments in Portland since April 1 to 1157. This remarkable showing of enlist ments has made good the promise Lieutenant-Commander John H. Black burn, U. S. N., made to the Navy De partment that Oregon not only would furnish by May 5 her quota of 300 men, but at least 250 more. The state has furnished 357 more. Oregon was one of only three sta tions in the United States that had en listed its required quota for the Navy on April 20, the quota of this district being 800 men. A few days before the expiration of the April 20 time limit, the Navy Department, moved by the apparent lethargy in other parts of the country, telegraphed Commander Blackburn that he could have an ex tension of time until May 5. More Men Needed In N'aTy. It was then that he telegraphed back the answer: "Oregon does not need an extension of time to furnish her quota to the. United States Navy. If time is extended to May 6 I can promise you 250 additional men." But although the special campaign Instituted for. Navy recruits on April 1 is ended, the campaign for men for the Navy is by no means ended. The Navy needs men and more men, as never before. Congress is expected shortly to In crease the enlisted personnel of the Navy from its present total of 87,000 men to 150,000 men, and to supply the additional men and train them will be a huge problem. Oregon's quota. to the additional force would be about 1600 men. So Lieutenant -Commander Blackburn Is 'exerting every effort to obtain re cruits, as every man that can be en listed will be needed. The Nation now is dependent on its Navy as its first line of defense. Forty-eight Enlisted by Army. Forty-eight men were enlisted for the United States Army at the Army Recruiting Station in the Worcester building, where Captain E. J. Hueb scher is in charge. Captain Huebscher has exceeded his normal quota of en listments by a large percentage, and the Portland station has been spe cifically mentioned . by the War De partment as one of the - best in the country. Captain Huebscher has received word that the Coast Artillery Corps is filled and that he is not to enlist more men for this branch, with the exception of previous service men. Those In the Coast Artillery branch will not be sent to Europe. The great need now is for men, for the infantry and cavalry branches of the Bervice. Of the 1157 men enlisted here for the Navy since April 1 Portland has not furnished nearly as large a proportion as other parts of the state. This city has furnished only 165 of the total, whereas, in proportion to population, it should have furnished about 260. The eastern sections of the state, in the "sagebrush" country, have made the best showing. The recruiting offi cers say the men from the "sagebrush country make the best sailors, too. and they are alw'ays delighted to have applicants from that section. Patriotic Theme Chosen. '.- ..
