FIGHTING SPIRIT.
' It is the testimony of those who

them. The former militiamen are

ver to 'France and J)egln bUBlness.
Fellows who' before there was any
xpectatlon of war Joined' the militia
companies did not do so from mere
'love of sport, comradeship or mili
tary exercises. ' .
They were men In whom the . Amer
ican spirit funs high, and in whom
there is an exceptional Interest in
oldlerly achievement. When a man
of this temperament is put up against
the present proposition, he reacts
quickly. He resents insults offered
our flag and citizens. He realizes
that the only way a nation can ac
quire honor and safety Is to show
that It does possess some virile force
and that It is capable of defending Its
rights If It has to.
The spirit of the drafted men Is not
no much different. To many of them
the war problems are new. But In
the atmosphere of camp life It will
be difficult for them to remain out
elders In sympathy. They will soon

favor the idea that the American
people should He down and say
"Please kick me."
The soldiers who are described as
eager to go are no more anxious than
anyone else to lose their, lives 'or run
needless risks. But like the man
who has a tooth to be pulled, they
know there can be no comfort until
the bad job is tackled and done
They want to get It over as quickly
as possible.
Also It sticks In the crop of the
normal American young man that
our enemies are laughing and chuck
ling over America's "wooden sword."
' They should dp their laughing right
now when they can do It, as they may
not get a chance later. When our
boys go "over the top" In France
there will be things doing that
Frltzy does not anticipate.

Splendid Welcome
Given Drafted Men
"Superlative" Is the adjective ap
plied to Ashland In Its treatment of
the 6,000 or 7,000 drafted men who
have passed through here and have
been supplied with meals within the
past two weeks while on the way to
the big army encampment at Ameri
can Lake, The average citizen has
no conception of the labor Involved
In this task, for It Implied greater re
sponsibilities than the mere feeding
of the men. In one capacity or an
other five Southern Pacific officials
were Identified with the Job. They
included A. B. Page of Seattle, travel
ing representative; B. Sutherland of
Portland, who represented John M.
Scott of the general ticket and pas
senger agency; F.- M. Black of the
commissary department. San Fran
cisco; George N. Kramer, local agent,
snd W. N. Wright of the ticket de
partment at the Ashland station.
Troop trains were met by these offi
cials', who wore distinctive badges,
and the men were systematically
lined up at the respective eating sta
tions, the allotment being divided be
tween the Depot hotel and J. M. East
erling's restaurant. The men were
not only abundantly fed but were
otherwise entertained, the musical
feature not being overlooked, as pa
triotic airs were played during meal
hours, the boys joining In a hilarious
chorus prompted by the sentiment of
all-around good fellowship.
The ladles also did their share In
welcoming the soldier boys. The ex
hibit building was a distributing cen
ter for fruits and flowers. These
were pnsRed out In abundant meas
ure, accompanied by words of cheer
from the fair donors, whose acts of
kindness were most cordially appre
ciated by the thousands of men who
shared In the dispensing of this gen
erous hospitality.

Farmers pan Invest
In Liberty Bonds
During his San Francisco visit,
Secretary of the Treasury William G.
McAdoo made tne followlng ,tate
ment concerning the farmer and the
Second Llberty ,oan.
"Now I should like to say a word
about the farmer in this particular
campaign. In the first campaign for
the sale of Liberty bonds I expressly
requested that the farmer should not
1 be solicited because we were then
trying to stimulate production and
I did not think It was Just to ask
the farmer to buy at that time, but
now that .the crops have been har
vested the farmer is receiving the
surplus from very bounteous harvests
and there is nothing he can buy any
better than these bonds.
"The son of the farmer Is taking
his part In this war. I found in little
villages people who came out to rail
road stations asking me to say a few
words. I found that every one of
these villages was contributing its
quota and doing it In fine spirit, and
so the sons of farmers, like the sons
of others, all were being brought to
gether In this great army without
distinction, and going forth to serve
their country. The farmer is as much
interested in this great army of ours
as any other class of people, and I
think If these bonds sold to provide
arms, ammunition and supplies for
that army are brought particularly to
the attention of the farmer he will
respond and do his share."

Standardized Bread
is Hoover's Pian
Early regulation of the baking in-
dustry has been promised by Food
trol bread production and dlstrlbu-
tlon I urn under rnnnldprnf Inn nnrt
tlon 1 are under consideration and
will be put Into operation as soon as
bread-making experiments In several
cities are completed. Municipal
bread depots will be provided If It is
found that retailers cannot be con
trolled under a voluntary arrange
ment. The baking industry was left out
of the general food control law to
be put Into effect November 1. Be
fore taking any step to deal with the
business the food administration
wishes to standardize baking flour;
bread ingredients and either the size
of the loaf or the price.
If the size of the loaf Is to be
standardized, Mr. Hoover believes
prices can be kept down through
compettlion, and if the price is sta
bilized he believes competition will
keep the size of the load from being
re u . ' y . .
If a Icensing system is put Into
effect, it cannot be made to apply to
retailers and the price will be for
bread at the bakery. The plan for
bread depots w 11 be put Into effect.
if retailers refuse to cooperate in
holding prices down.
It Is not surprising that the United
States gave up the position of neutral
and went to war1, when you consider ,
that the umpire has a harder time
than the players.
