SAVE COAL AX1) OIL
When our warships and the allies
meed coal and ol) It Is rather fine to!
read of what one power company Is
.doing to save naval fuel.
To abate the smoke nuisance, abol
ish car shortage, and save coal, oil
f nd wood fuel lb what hydro-electric
power accomplishes at one stroke.
Head the record of one power com
pany: The Utah Power and Light Com
pany, that takes Its power from the
Bear river and serve Salt Lake, Og
iden 'and 160 other cities and towns,
supplied power this year equal to
3,000,000 tons of coal.
This means that power generated
from the falling waters that are run
ning to waste would have taken 25,
1000 carloads of coal to generate it
or more than half as many cars of
Svel oil.
Put In terms of coal It means
2,083 carloads a month saved, engine
power to pull them, miners to mine
the coal, when cars and men are so
fcndly needed in other lines of service
by the nation.
One million tons 1b about one-third
the coal production of Utah, where
coal shortage has been the worst in
the past, and releasing of cars comes
et a time when railroads are taxed to
twice capacity.
Other hydro-electric companies are
making the same record.
SOFT CORN OAl'SE
OF HIGH PRICES
ond the price of cornmeal, it should
bo understood that the corn quota
tions are based on feeding corn, rath
er than on the milling grades.
"A new and very) valuable food
product, however, has been discov
ered through the necessity of find
ing a way to use the great quantities
of soft corn that were produced this
year. This new product is corn oil,
which Is proving to be one of the best
cooking oils yet discovered, and
which Is given high rank among the
different cottonseed, olive and other
vegetable oils, by experts. Corn
syrup is also being produced in great
er quantities."

Btudy this remarkable picture and you cannot full to understand why we are
fighting the PrusHlan autocracy. You will ace how truly the criminal spirit that
moves men in the German nrmy and navy to commit outrages against humanity I
is embodied In the German kaiser. Here the artlxt has shown the autocrat and his j
warriors as tliey really are. In their effort to put he hobnailed heel of Prussian-
lm on the necks of free nations the Germans plunder the homes of Innocent non
combatants, use the white flag to lure their enemies out into the open to be shot, I
murder women and children, cut off the hands of babies, and Introduce into war- (
fare poison gas.
I XCLE SAM SHOWS
NATION HOW TO SAVE
' Queries are constantly being made
iit the office of the Federal Food Ad
ministration in Portland as to whf
tbe price of cornmeal, despite the big
corn crop, Is bo high. Many persons
clso want to know why there Is such
a difference In the market price of
corn, as quoted in the press, and the
figure at which cornmeal Is to be
had from the retailer.
Assistant Federal Food Adminis
trator W. K. Newell, who has Just
returned from Washington, looked
into the corn situation thoroughly
while In the eaBt and reports that
while the corn crop throughout the
corn belt was very large, peculiar
weather conditions caused a very
heavy percentage, of "soft" corn,
which Is unfit for milling.
"Only the first grade corn, entire
ly free from moisture and known to
the trade as Ko. 1, can be milled,"
said Mr. Newell. "That is one reason
why cornmeal remains at such a high
figure throughout the country. The
still higher price of cornmeal In the
northwest Is due to distance from
the producing point and the transpor
tation difficulties. As to the appar
ntly excessive difference between
the quotations of corn In the market
The "Eat" In Meat
It really doesn't matter who first put
the "eat" In Meat the fact we want
to call your attention to Is that It Is
In every piece of Meat that cornea
from our market.
There Is a science in killing and
dressing Meats that Is only learned
by long study and practice.

Where will you be ten years from
new?
If you are not in the land of the
living, where will your wife and fam
ily be?
Much depends upon how you use
your talents, and upon whether or
not. you are thrifty.
S. W. Straus, well known as a
writer on Investments and things
financial, has found that the records
show that only 3 per cent of the men
who die In this country leave an
estate of $10,000; 15 per cent leave
from $2,000 to $10,000, and the re
maining 82 per cent die leaving no
tangible assets.
But they usually leave widows and
families, because wives, so the rec
ords show again, usually outlive their
husbands.
Only 18 per cent of the widows of
the men who die are left in comfort
able circumstances; 47 per cent are
compelled to go to work, and the re
gaining 35 per cent have to be taken
care of either by the state or by their
relatives.
What Is the answer?
Thrift.
And Uncle Sam has shown that he
appreciates the situation by his plans
to give the people of the nation op
portunity to serve their country in
this time of war, and at the same
time teach them to save, to become i
thrifty, by the purchase of thrift
stamps and war savings stamps.
Is worth, regardless of the appear
ance or taste of the flour. The peo
ple of Finland are starving, trying to
live on a dally allowance of three or
four Blices of bread made from birch
bark, beech buds and a smattering
of wheat. Appendicitis and intestinal
ailments are resulting in Germany
from the use of the war bread pro
duced in that nation. Scientists have
given up the task of Improving the
German war loaf and the government
announces no relief in sight.
America, however, Is backed up In
wheat-Baving by the greatest corn
crop In the world's history. As soon
ns the big crop starts to market and
prices drop accordingly, the govern
ment will begin a campaign for the
more extensive use of corn meal.
Normally the people of America eat
an average of one bushel of corn each
year. This year there are 30 bushels
for every man, woman and child In
tbe United States.
HOARD DOLLARS AND
BECOME A SLACKER
from fungous Infections may be ma
terially lessened. The most success
ful fruit men know this fact and bear
It In mind when pruning, says H. P.
Barss, plant pathologist, O. A. C.
It Is positively known that the con
tinued presence on fruits or foliage
of moisture from rain, dew or fog is
exceedingly favorable to the germina
tion of fungous spores as those of
apple or pear scab, brown rot, peach
blight, leaf spots, etc., while any con
dition which tends to bring about a
rapid drying off of the leaves and
fruit is decidedly unfavorable to In
fections. Sunlight and air movement
are nature's great drying agencies.
Open pruning by judicious thinning
is therefore of great value because
It permits air circulation and sun
shine within the tree, while ordinary
heading back without thinning favors
the formation of a dense top, and this
retards evaporation. Correct open
pruning Is worth dollars and cents
FIT BANK
TO NEEDS
and the very best way to do this is to treat
your Bankers as advisors as well as custodians.
Give them such information about your plans and
efforts as will enable them to be of assistance. We
invite euch close connections here at the First
National.
Even though the price of War Saving Stamps increased 1
cent in price Feb. 1, your rate of interest does not change.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Aslilund People Know How to Save
It.
Many Ashland people take their
lives In their hands by neglecting the
kldnevs when they know these or
gans need help. Weak kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf
fering and 111 health the slightest
delay Is dangerous. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills a remedy that has helped
thousands of kidney sufferers. Here
Is an Ashland citizen's recommenda
tion: Mrs. E. F. Wolters, 263 Mountain
avenue, says: "I have been taking
Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for
a long time when I have felt any need
of a kidney medicine and they have
never failed to give good satisfaction.
I am subject to backache at times and
my kidneys act irregularly. Doan's
Kidney Pills soon correct this trou
ble.'!
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan a Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Wolters had. Foster-Milburn

Take the 25 cents you did not
spend for pork chops and buy a thrift
stamp with It, thus doing the double
patriotic service of saving the most
needed meat and loaning Uncle Sam
money with which to carry on the
war.
IMG AMOUNT PAID
TO FIGHTING FORCE
The payroll of the fighting forces
of the United States is now nearly
$100,000,000. This sum Includes sal
aries of officers and enlisted men In
the army and navy serving both In
this country and abroad, family allot
ments and compensation for certain
services, but does not take Into ac
count family allowances paid by the
government toward the support of
families of enlisted men, under speci
fied, conditions, nor does It include
any of the special compensatory fea
tures of the military and naval in
surance act.
Details of the pay received by sol
diers and sailors and of tbe opera
tion of the war risk Insurance bu
reau have just been compiled by the
several departments for information
of the public, and those relating to
the navy have been made public by
the committee on public Information.
The others will be made public later
and separately.
The committee's statement shows
that in December approximately $17,
000,000 was disbursed as monthly
compensation for the services of
some 300,000 officers and men who
constitute the uninformed force of
the navy.

Frank A. Vanderlip hit the nail on
the head in a speech at Cincinnati,
when he said that "a hoarded dollar
is a slacker." Work for the war is
recessary and of primary importance,
but industry and business cannot be
overlooked without fatal results.
The campaign against the enemy
must be backed by industry and busi
ness going on to a great degree as
usual, else the wherewithal to finance
the war will be cut off. To stop
manufacturing trade and transporta
tion, to hoard is killing the goose.
Money must be kept In circulation,
and let it be kept at home so that it
will come back in circulation, and let
It be kept at home so that It will
come back in the natural cycle of
business dealings. Trade with Intel
ligent discrimination, that's always
wlee, but do riot hoard. Denver Telegraph.

WORLD CRY FOR BREAD
ANSWERED BY WAR LOAF
American's answer to the world
wide cry for bread will be the Intro
duction of the war loaf Into Ameri
can homes within very short time.
Officials of tho food administration
declare that It Is but a matter of
weckB until there will be no other
bread found In the United States.
The people of America are now
face to face with the choice of econo
mizing or allowing the allies to
starve. The last of tho surplus Amer
ican wheat was shipped to Europe
before Thankoglvlng, and the plight
of the allies still is serious. With
the surplus gone, and with the entire 1
world turning to the United States,
the bread box of America must save
other nations. Strict economy will
make possible the sending of relief to
Europe without Inconvenience to
America.
The condition In every European
nation Is serious. England Is impris
oning people who waste wheat, and
France is milling her grain for all It
