POLLING PLACES SOUGHT

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.

That the residents of Harmony school
district are not in harmony developed
yesterday when two opposing delega

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.

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.

Prodium Process
Makes Tires Last Longer
"HE discovery of the Produim
Process is the greatest step for
ward in rubber manufacturing
since the perfecting of vulcanization.
It has given to Republic Tires a tread of
super-toughness that is wear resisting to
a remarkable degree.
It wears down as evenly as a piece of
tempered steel, and the rubber is so strong
that a strip of it one and one-half inches
square will suspend a weight of more
than three tons.
More than 100,000 sets of Republic Pro
dium Process Tires have been sold to
tire users.
We know now that the Prodium Process
does make tires last longer and that mil
lions of dollars will be saved to tire buyers.
As the result of an unprecedented de
mand from every part of the country, we
are trebling our production of Republic
Prodium Process Tires.
