The Federal Government is
carrying a load that is. almost tier
yoml miscomprehension. .We are
apt to think t Ii.it because. we can
only do a little our help is not
worth while. This is a great
mistake. .The Hohenollerns base
their hope on the belief that a
democracy, cannot be united. It
is up to us to dispel this belief
for all time. Every. loyal citizen
is going to get in anil do, his best
in every way possible. This in
cludes the school children.
There are four principal divis
ions of work that are to be push
ed in the schools of Oregon. We
expect every school child in
Washington Comity to take some
part , in every one of these de
pijrtiluci'ils or work.
I r Educational material in the
form of Government circulars,
pamphlets,'" books, 'etc., will be
sent for study in school and for
distributioni to the homos.

TV--Conservation and extra
production, Every child , is. a
committee to see that the window
cards are kept in sight and that
the kitchen card is-carefully fid
lowed. Every child is expected
to produce something in the way
of food or clothing. W c hope
most children above the fourth
gratle at least will complete an
industrial project w ith O. A. C.
While the children arc helping
the government they will be
helping themselves. We appeal
to the parents to give enthusias
