They do not while they are actually in training or In service pro- duce anything. They do, on the oth- er hand, consume much. There is nothing more expensive on earth than to support and maintain a great army In the field,, especially if it is on the fighting line. The attrition of sup plies and everything else is tremen dously great when we have a fighting army in the field. America is the one great remaining storehouse in the world of supplies and credit. We must maintain and make effective as possible our own soldiers and the soldiers of those na tions who are fighting for us. We must therefore draw as little as possi ble upon our common store of sup- P"e9 atld money. The more we lessen our domestic demand, the more we can contribute to the support and ef fectiveness of our allied armies, Economy is now. a national duty, such a duty upon the people at home as fighting Is upon those Americans who are bravely offering their lives foe the honor of America and the preservation of liberty and justice. sstsasssstttttmi Here and There I 8 8 The Josephine County Bank has enlarged its business and territory by taking over the business of the Rogue River Bank, taking over its deposits and enough cash and securi ties to offset the amount of the de posits. They are not taking over the banking building and other property. The Rogue River Bank has been in operation for the past five or six years, James Campbell of Mcdford being one of the principal stock holders, with D. R. Terriet of Rogue River as cashier. Don Wilson, mer chant of Rogue River and one of tlu stockholders, has become a director In The Josephine County Bank and will be the Rogue River representa tive. Grants Pass Courier, The residents of Griffin Creeic have whole-heartedly joined the Red Cross movement.

Klamath Falls is soon to lose one of its most able physicians and sur geons for the period of the war, in the person of Dr. R. R. Hamilton, who plans to enter the service very shortly.

The county court Friday author ized the advancing of $1,000 for the purpose of'furniahing digger squirrel poison to fanners throughout the county. This sum Is not a loan. The court voluntarily offered this amount to finance the proposition and the money will revert, back to the gen eral county fund at the close of the squirrel exterminating campaign.

Lenox is busy with the changes In boundaries in ; election precincts In this county, says j the Roseburg Review. Under the law the clerk maps out the boundary '. changes, his action needing the sanc- j tion of the county court to make it legal. The eight incorporated towns in Douglas county outside of Rose- burg will each be set aside as sepa rate precincts. The residents of ter ritory adjacent to them, from which the voters have usually voted within the towns, will hereafter be required to vote at a new polling place located without the town limits. In addition to the eight new precincts thus cre ated,, three more will probably be Have Tour Clothes Made at Home John John the Tailor A Fit Cleaning and Pressing established, one at Leona, another I at Loon Lake, and very probably an other In the Garden Valley section, making a total Increase of eleven for this county. Heretofore there have been 57 election precincts', which will make a total of C8 for the coming elections. The incorporated towns in this county outside of Roseburg are Canyonville, Glendale, Riddle, Myrtle Creek. Oakland, Sutherlin, Drain and Yoncalla. There is some indication that ' Douglas county broccoli growers will stampede and revolt from the annual 'custom of selling their product through consignment to commission I firms, as has been the practice dur ing the past few years in which this j comparatively new crop, in a com 'mercial way at least, has been dis- posed of. That there is considerable j dissatisfaction with the past experl- ences among the. grqwers in the sale (of the product on consignment was : clearly shown at the meeting of grow lers held at the store of A. J. Lilburn ! & Son, where a dozen or more proml ! nent growers were assembled to dis cuss the subject of the best way to sell their crop. Practically every grower who expressed himself be lieves that the business-like way to sell the crop is to sell for cash on board the cars at the home station, even though the price received may be less than that promised by com mission houses. Roseburg Review. . Several dozen cans of fish eggs, to talling away up in the millions of embryo fish, are stored at the Smith terminal dock awaiting the arrival of the Tramp or Rustler to take them to the Rogue river hatchery. They were shipped down by the Macleay estate and come from the state fish and game commission. It is the sec ond consignment. Ice is placed In a sieve above the eggs and melting keeps the eggs fresh and at the prop er temperature This is the first time that the Rogue river hatchery has been replenished from outside in nS time- The hatchery was estab- lished by the late R. D. Hume, who turned it over to the state. Of course1, the Macleay estate gets the benefit out of it through its cannery. Most of the eggs are chinooks. Coos Bay Times. LESSONS ON THRIFT - GIVEN IN SCHOOLS School children in many cities are being given lessons on thrift with the ' , , ""l ' TI ! of the importance of saving to help the nation in war. The teachers in these schools have been requested to read the lessons, which have bee.i prepared by the school mobilization committee, and the pupilu will be en couraged to talk the matter over at home). The lesson on saving food follows: "The kaiser wants you to wast? waste food, waste coal, waste clothe;!, waste time; in fact, he wants you to waste anyihir.t and everything. Ho also wants you to live in luxury, to have a new automobile, a new bicy cle, a pair of new skates, a new rifle, several new suits of clothes, and a new pony and cart. He wants your sister to have a new piano, fine furo, a sweater to match every dress, hands full of jewelry, several pairs of $1G shoes and a season box at the opera. He wants your mother to have fine new dresses, several serv ants and a chauffeur, and he wauls your father to build a fine new hou-e right away and also to build a no v hotel. "Is the kaiser very tender of you? Not at all; but he prays to his God that you may have those tilings. He wants you to have all these things l.ecause he knows that if you do have them our soldier boys In France will BLOOD POISONING Hamlin's Wizard Oil a Safe First Aid Treatment How often lockjaw and blood rticnnin(T rpcnlt frnm thp npplprt 0f a slight scratch or little cutl Ham lin s Wizard Uu is a sate and effec tive first aid treatment.

The same man can't make an automobile for the park and an aeroplane for tho army, and we are short of aeroplanes and short of men to make them. The same wool can't be used for a girl'n sweater and for a soldier's uniform and we have not wool enough for uniforms. "Do you want to help the kaiser or do you want to help the American soldier boys? If you are the kaiser's friend, waste waste anything. If you are the soldier boys' friend, save save everything.

To buy Liberty bonds you must save money. Save every cent you. can. Saving food is the same as saving money, for with the money saved on food you can help buy another Liberty bond.
