Patriotic service for all clubs ivaa the main thought found in the re ports and addresses. Airs. Castner presided graciously and the clubwomen of It'ineville proved themselves ideal hostesses. One of the most important reports was that of Mrs. Frederick Eggert, chairman of the scholarship loan fund Mrs. Kgert was entirely deserving of the praise that was accorded her for her work. Following are extracts from the report: Report Is Interesting. "This work of the Oregon Federation Of Women's Clubs is patterned after that of the Colorado Federation, which was instituted in 1902 and had made an enviable record. "During the first year of Mrs. Sarah A. Evans 10 years able administration mm president of the Oregon Federation she cast about for a worthy object and Aim to engage the efforts and unify the activities of the clubwomen of our state. "At the LaGrande convention of 190S. by unanimous vote the laat Wednesday of January was adopted as Scholarship Loan Fund day, when every club is asked to do something to increase the fund which is being loaned to assist young women in their educational prep aration for li l e's work. "This day stands In our year book as 'lied Letter day' and each individ ual club sends the result of its efforts to the chairman of the board of trus tees, under whose direction it is dis pensed. "These funds a re loaned to young -women In need of small sums in addi tion to their limited means, which will make it possible to complete their edu cational training for a higher grade of work, an advanced place in the scale of wage earners, topther with larger opportunity, wider field of usefulness and a place of helpful influence which would otherwise be impossible of at tainment. "These young women must have sat isfactory references as to character, in dustry, studious habits and steadfast ness of purpose esential to success in their undertakings. The loan is made without interest and payments are due an soon as the course is completed and "kthe beneficiary becomes wake earner. "The policy of the board is in the direction of small loans at the end of the course rather than at the begin ning, and this for h twofold reason: first, that the borrower may not begin life's work with the handicap of a large Indebtedness, and, secondly, that the day of repayment may not be too far tn the future, thus tying up funds which should b ready for use for the benefit of others waiting for similar aid. "The fund is adminiiorel by a board of nine trustees, no salaries whatever bein paid for any service connected therewith, rven the expen. of account book, stationery and pos'age has thus far been paid from the general fund or donated by members of the board. Thus every dollar contributed to this fund has been used only for the purpose in dicated by its name. "Sixty-four clubs and five individuals have added to the fund the munificent sum of SI-MI.::. The financial state ment sets forth the tin usually large amount received from the outposts of our stale, proof positive that this noble work Is more deeply and widely elicit ing the confidence and co-operation of widely scattered clubs, both large and C2:a!l.

WrisTht on Thursday afternoon In her beautiful new home on Knott street- After the business session an Interesting paper was rear! on domes tic economy by Mrs. Maud Cramblitt.

Oregon C'lnh members Take Lead lA Comervatlon Work, THE women of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the clubs are all trying to do their part In the big campaign for conservation and substitution in arranging menus. At almost every meeting it is impressed upon the members that they must study the question with greater dili gence than ever. As a result the Ore gon women have taken a lead In this department of patriotic service. It is Interesting to note what is being done elsewhere. In several places in Iowa the manu facturers and manacrers of stores re lease any girls employed by them in groups In order that they may attend home economics courses taught by Miss Bentley. of the State Agricultural Col lege. The employers also pay the ex pense of equipment, fuel, food and the traveling and living expenses of the teacher. In New Hampshire the principle of organization is that of extending the home economics work in divisions throughout the state tintil actual con tact with the individual In the house hold is provided. The desire is to have the machinery completely and minutely organized from the state authority to the home, so that whatever advice or information Is received from Washing ton or the state authority may be trans mitted directly to the home. New Hampshire has been divided Into districts of about five townships each. These districts are subdivided by towns, each having a local committee. 'Each town Is districted in groups of 25 fam ilies. A supervisor, selected for her fitness to organise her territory and co-ordinate various normal activities in It. Is put In charge of each district. In Portsmouth for 2000 families there are 80 local leaders. The home economies directors, se lected by the State Agricultural Col lege, provide practical, scientific help for all these housewives. Ohio has "war markets." Many of the towns are providing markets to con serve produce. In Alliance one thor oughfare is closed to traffic during the market hours on three days of the week by order of the City Council. Two streets In Canton are used for markets. Maaaillou reports two markets a week. The. war market tn Canton Is riven a military tone by the blowing of a. bugle at t:S9 each morning. Several automo bile loads of rubber and paper were collected in Canton and all of It was sold before It had been completely as sembled. This Is one of the avenues of money-making for the committee, ap parently, and also stops unnecessary waste. - Marketing by motor Is a feature ot the war market tn Lakewood, says the Cleveland Leader. One need not own an automobile to Join the motor market party when the new farmers' market opens at the town hall at 6:30 in the morning. Many Women who own ma chines have agreed to lend a helping hand to the women struggling home with bulging packages of produce. Miss Ida Tarbell, of the Council of National Liefense, In a note to the wom an's department, urges the women to can and preserve all the fruits and vegetables possible and use the fresh fruits now. It was quite fitting that the eastern part of the state should receive a di rectorship and that Mrs. John Vert, of Pendleton, should be elected. Also it was right that Southern Oregon should be remembered and Mrs. Bell, of i:ose burg. get an office This sprinkles the offices over the state pretty thor oughly. Mrs. Roy Bishop nominated Mrs Vert and Mr. Lewis, of Hood River, nominated Mrs. Ball. Mrs. Trumbull put up Mrs. Bean, of Salem, and Mis. Alexander Thompson named Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar for a directorship, but the two last were defeated. Mrs. Elkins of Prinevllle, was elected second vice president to succeed Mrs. J. W. Tlfft, of Portland. Mrs. Castner was re elected Unanimously. Among the resolutions at the conven tion was one thanking the O.-W. R. A N.. for sending so delightful and ef ficient a passenger agent as Miss Avis Lobdell, who, young as she is, mothered the entire delegation. -A resolution submitted by the legis lative committee Instructed the com mittee to present to the next conven tion a complete, full and comprehen sive report of the amendment to be submitted to the people establishing a home for state wards. A resolution sent by the Kansas Fed eration indorsed the efforts of the War Department in controlling vice condi tions In camps. By resolution It was decided that In the future resolutions presented must have club and not merely individual backing. This will do away with per sonalities. A sub-committee on kindergartens was authorized. It was recommended that no refresh ments be served at club entertain ments. The return trip home was delight ful. The hilarity of the buckaroo breakfast awakened the spirits of the delegates and they had a Jolly home trip. 'Our Eastern Gardens" to Be Subject of Address. Profesmor A. I Perk AVI 11 Speak Before Woman's Club Friday. T-ROFESSOR A. L.

'Serve by Saving," National Administration Urges. Food Hablta of 100,000,000 People Mnst Bo Modified by Housekeep ers, It- In Pointed Out. UNDER the topic "Serve by Saving," the United States Food Adminis tration sends out instructions and sug gestions that it will be found most helpful for all women who are sincere to heed. "Every housekeeper in America is called to the colors. "On her banner are three words: 'Serve by Saving.' Her ammunition is food. Her uniform is a kitchen apron. "Every intelligent housekeeper is answering the call with the same fine glow of patriotism jind loyalty to her country that is prompting thousands of our young men to don . the khaki. For she knows the great task that lies before her that of so modifying the food habits of the 100.000,000 people in this country that the United States may not only meet the emergency of feed ing our own brave boys on the battle held, but keep our Allies from starving. "This great patriotic task can never be shouldered by one group of women working alone. Every housekeeper in America, no matter how large or small her family or pocketbook, must co operate, must mobilize. "Her campaign is not to ask her fam ily or community to starve themselves. but rather to teach them to eat less meat, sugar, fat and wheat by substt- ;XITED BRETHREN BISHOP to reside: i.v Portland. Bishop W. H. Wsuthinn-er. Bishop W. H. Washinger, of the United Brethren Cburcb, who was. elected recently to the bishopric ' of the Pacific Coast district, de cided to make Portland his head quarters and, with Mrs. Washin- . ger, arrived In this city a few days ago and has taken up his residence at 646 East Taylor street. The United Brethren bish ops are elected for four years', and the bishop will live here for that period at least. The new leader was superln-. tendent of the Kast Pennsylvania conference, where he did success- ful work and had a wide circle of friends. His former home was in Chambersburg, Pa. .

Our ' supply of food depends so much on the locality in which we live. What would ' be extravagant for one to eat would be the most economical food for an other. Then. to and this is the most perplexing problem of all our Jonns and little Marys and Jacks sre-not the same. Kach household offers a sepa rate problem. . - "Your task of feeding your family In the most economical way will be great ly lightened, however; -tf-now;- lrr a -moment of leisure, you will map out your campaign in the following way: t. Try to discover and stop the small rastes-thos little leaks that have for merly seemed too trivial to bother about. 2. Decide on the thlncra that must be dnne Immediately: for" instance, tho preserving of any perishable fruits and vegetables that may still be plentiful ntid cheap. a. Learn how to make delicious dishes out of left-overs and serve as far as possible rood raised In your own locality. This will save transportation. All this does not seem much for Un cle Sam to ask of you, does it? .And yet every .woman who does this con scientiously from day to day will be as much a soldier as any fighting man in' the trenches. Where there Is a will to save food there is a way! And one way to save meat la to study your salad recipes. It is a common mistake to think that salads are only a ride dish. Some sal ads are so nourishing that they may take the place of the meat dish alto gether. If every housekeeper in America would decide to have at least one meat less day In the week, when she served a nourishing salad Instead, think how many pounds of meat would be saved' for our soldiers next Winter! . Here are Just a few suggestions of salads that may take the place of the meat dish: Russian Salad. 1 cup of carrot cubes. 1 cup of potato cubes. 1 cup of cold cooked peas. 1 cup of cold cooked beans. Mix and serve on Komnlne leaves, garnish with hard boiled eegs or salmon boned. Serve with French or boiled dressing. Staffed Tomato Salad. Stuff tomatoes with oottnice cheese and nut meats. Pour over It French dressing. With these suefrestlons you can undoubt edly think of many more attractive combi nations of eKga. beans, nuts, cheese and fish with various vegetables and fruits. Our problem la to fled our allies tills Win ter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value In the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, duiry products and sugar. Our solution Is to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. Mrs. L. E. Joy, a prominent member-, of the Parent-Teacher Association who took a great interest in the cooking and canning lessons In the schools this season, has a recipe for using tomatoes that she finds satisfactory and at the request of many it is herewith given: Chile bauce IS ripe tomatoes pared. 6 onions, chopped fine; S green peppers. 1 cup sugar, Zhi cupn vlner-ar, 5 table- Spoonfuls salt. 1 teaspoonful cloves, all- t- r. i ..
