KEEP THE SOLDIER BOYS
POSTED.
Many people have doubtless asked
themselves the question, "Will myi
boy, granted-he Is spared through the
conflict, return to his home, or will
lie be content to remain in some oth
er country or some other part of this
country?" And this is a question we
may all well ask. When this war is
over there is going to be great in-,
ducement for our boys to settle down
away from their homes and become
citizens of other countries. The war
Trill serve as a refiner, separating the
dross from the pure gold, and the
young man who comes through with
honor untarnished will be eagerly
sought to fill places of honor and
trust.
Xow we naturally are anxious that
our boys do not forget tho old home
or become weaned from home, asso
ciations. We want them to carry
ever with them a vivid picture of the
home joys and pleasures a3 they knew
them before Uncle Sam called them
to sterner duties. We want their al
legiance to hold to the old home with
all the old home stands for in their
lives.
To this end, are we taking the
right course to keep the memory of
home ever green with them? Vou
pay you are writing regularly, and
giving them all the news of Interest
you know. Yes, but this Is probably
but a drop In the bucket to what they
would learn were they with us.
Every boy should receive his home
paper regularly. He should be able
each week to tell all that Is transpir
ing back at home, and to have, as it
vere, a bird's-eye view of the social
and business life of his home com-

munity. Home associations should
never be permitted to fade from his
cemory but should be renewed with
every issue of his home paper.
In numbers of communities the
home paper Is being sent to every
soldier who has gone from that com
munity, frequently through some
public organization. No" better ac
tion could be taken by a board of
trade, commercial club, home defense
organization' or any other organiza
tion than to send each soldier his
home paper for tho duration of the
war. It will show to the boys that
not only have the folks at home not
forgotten a single one of them, but
they are also determined that not a
single boy 3hall forget his home
through their neglect to keep mem
ories of that homo green In his heart.
Every traveler is familiar with the
news stands In all the principal cities
of the country, where a sign similar
to this is displayed: "Name your
town, we have the paper." And
every traveler knows tho thrill of
pleasure with which he seized the old
home sheet nnd lost himself in the
familiar contents.
Whatever else your boy may be
deprived of, bo sure he has his home
paper. It will pay well on the investment.
WAR GARDEN HINTS BY

PLENTY OF HOGS YET.
for J
Contrary to popular belief, this
country is no ways Bhort of hogs.
We have plenty of them, but unfor
tunately there are many of them that
are not available for pork, although
they are constantly engaged In ac
cumulating that article. Neither are
they classed among the tribe of hogs
proper, for which if the other hogs
could think they would doubtless
give thanks.
This uselesT breed of hogs are like
Kipfing's bear that "walked like a
man." And It is about the only man
ly attribute that one can detect' in
them, because even this accomplish
ment is utilized for actions that
would shame any self-respecting hog
that Is compelled to go on four feet.
It Is a favorite practice of this hog.
since the food regulations went into
effect, to put all his hoggish Intellect
to work on schemes to outwit the au
thorities. When suugar is limited to
25 cents worth to a customer he will
visit stores into which ho never be
fore set foot In search of sugar,; in
tent orily on laying In a supply for
his hoggish wants, even though oth- j
ers may go without. j
He Is the same fellow who raises
Cain with his grocer for refusing to j
sell him all the flour he wants, and j
abuses the hotel and restaurant men j
for refusing to serve him meat or j
light bread on meatless and wheat-1
less days. I
When the food administration goes I
after the consumer and compels him
to obey the letter and spirit of the
law which mutt come if we are to
succeed In the task we have set our
selves this particular breed of hog
is going to have hard sledding. Speed
that day.
Select your garden space, measure
it and draw its diagram on paper,
then decide what plants to grow in
those spaces which you have marked
on your map. You must know some
thing about the soil with which you
have to work. In a general way, no
matter what the soil may be, if it will
grow anything at all, it will probably
grow every vegetable you select.
If your garden, or a part of It,
happens to be moist and low ground,
such crops as oelery, onions and late
cucumbers will do best there. If It
is high, warm and dry soil It is par
ticularly adapted to early peas, beans
and other crops which you mean to
grow.
If you have plenty of room you
may grow sweet corn, melons, squash
and other spreading plants In addi
tion to the ones which may be plant
ed closely together.
Around the edges of your garden
you have probably discovered places
for permanent beds' of asparagus and
rhubarb, and for a few strawberry
plants.
As for the bulk of your produce,
please your own tas,te, always remem
bering that it is better in a small
garden to specialize on a few vegeta
bles, preferably those like string
beans, peas and radishes, which taste
better the fresher they are, than to
grow little driblets of everything. ,
Suggestions for early planting In
an average small garden: Peas,
beets, carrots, radishes, parsnips, let
tuce, salsify, kohlrabi, parsnips, spin
ach and (if enough room) potatoes.
Later crops can be planted when
some of these have been gathered.
The following quantities are suffi
cient to plant 100 feet of row for
each vegetable given. You can buy
In proportion for your own needs,
measuring your rows on your paper
plan:
Snap beans, half pint; pdle lima
beans, half pint; carrots, one ounce;
bush llmas, half pint; early cabbage,
half ounce; cauliflower, one packet;
celery, one packet; cucumber, half
ounce; egg plant, one packet; kale or
Swiss chard, half ounce; pnrsley, one
packet! parsnips, half ounce; salsify,
one ounce; summer or huggard
squash, half ounce; beet, four
ounces; sweet corn, quarter pint; let
tuce, one ounce; onion sets, one
quart; peas, one to two pints; radish,
one ounce; splnash, two ounces; wa
termelon, one ounce.
Determine your requirements and
order your seeds now. Do not let
the planting weather catch you un
prepared. Write to the National War
Garden Commission, Washington, D.

AVAR GARDEN ARMY
Declaring that he would like to see
a good gardon growing this summer
at practically every section house, W.
R. Scott, vice-president and general
manager of the Southern Pacific
Company, has enlisted the company's
army of employes in tho campaign
for assisting the food administration.
Scott hao asked all Southern Pa
cific superintendents to encourage
the planting of vegetables on com
pany property wherever practicable.
Agents, section foremen and employes
of the maintenancet-of-way depart
ment from Portland to El Paso and
San Francisco to Ogden are being
instructed Jo convert to vegetable
gardens all suitable ground around
their place of employment. '
In addition, the compp.ny is en
deavoring to lease all cultivable land
which it owns and, where practica
ble, right-cf-way land adapted to
truck gardening or agriculture, is
being leased.
Last year's vegetable gardening
was undertaken along the company's
lines by hundreds of employes with
great success. This year the right-of-way
vegetable will be produced in
quantities that should have an ap
preciable effect on the II. C. L.
IF YOU HAD TO WEAR 'EM
YOU'D MAKE 'EM RIGHT
There seems to be some uncertainty
In regard to the extent to which di
rections for knitting are obligatory.
A certain size, shape and texture are
required1, and directions are intended
to help toward that end. They are
suggestions rather than rules.
Either strap or triangular heels are
ccceptable, but, the- old-fashioned
heels with the ridge down the middle
are not. Sock3 with only fifty stitch
es In the legs are seldom large
enough. It Is possible to make a
good, smooth, well-shaped toe which
i" not the Kitchener kind, but experi
ence in the warehouse where 1,500
pairs a day are examined prove that
of those toes which are not Kitchener
toes not one in ten Is a good toe. Any
knitter who Is clever enough to knit
a sock as far as the toe is clover
enough to learn to make a Kitchener
toe, and, as a good soldier behind the
lines, Bhould be glad to make what
tho Red Cross wants as it wants it.
DIG FIRE LOSS ON
NATIONAL FORESTS
Forest fires burned over 962,000
acres of national forest lands in 1917
and caused a loss of $1,353,600 to
the government In timber, forage and
young growth, according to figures
received from Washington by District
Forester George H. Cecil. While the
loss was larger than for several year3
past, forestry officials say that, con
sidering the unusually dangerous
conditions, it was remarkably light.
Protracted drouth and periods of
high winds made the conditions, they
declare, virtually the same as in 1910,
when many persons were burned to
death and 25 million dollars' worth
of timber on the national forests was
destroyed.
In addition to the actual loss in
tlmlber and forage, the fires of last
year entailed extra expenditures by
the government of $1,121,451. This,
it is pointed out, means that to hold
the fires down large numbers of men
have to be withdrawn from produc
tive work and much money spent for
supplies.

it is necessary to practice the utmost
economy as a war duty, the Forest
Service officials are emphasizing the
criminal wastefulness of forest fires
that can be prevented from starting.
Of the 7,814 fires which were
fought on the national forests, all but
2,132 set by lightning were caused
by human agencies and could have
been prevented. There were 952 in
cendiary fires, which occurred for the
most part in Oregon, California and
Arkansas. Careless campers were re
sponsible for 1,288. Railroads, part
ly through failure to comply with the
law and use proper spark-arresters,
set 1,003. The remainder were
caused by various forms of careless
ness on the part of settlers and other
users of the national forests.
Effort' is being made by the Forest
Service to Impress upon the public
the necessity of keeping fire out of
the woods, especially now that the
country needs Its man-power so badly
for other purposes than fighting un
necessary fires. The campaign of ed
ucation against carelessness and in
difference which has been waged for
years, through fire warnings, posters,
talks and lectures, "movies" and in
other ways, it Is asserted, will there
fore be pressed with renewed energy
the coming season.
GROWERS MAY SELL
NON-LAYING HENS
W. K. Newell, assistant federal
food administrator for Oregon, has
issued the statement that the ban on
non-laying hens had been lifted un
der the following provision:
"The grower, in making shipment
of poultry, must attach a certificate
with each lot to the effect that they
are non-layers. The buyer shall then
forward the certificate to the office
of the food administration."
He also advised that on account of
the season being a month earlier on
this coast than in the east, all restric
tions on the sale of hens will prob
ably be removed on April 1, in the
states of Oregon, California and
Washington, instead of April 30, as
originally ordered.

Modern war conditions demand that our armies must have behind
them national solidarity, the coordination of all the vast activities and
an industrial army many times greater than the Nation's fighting forces.
The Nation's capital is linked with all these varied activities by the
toll and long distance lines of the Bell System. Thousands of miles
of special wire systems have been turned over to the Government for
its exclusive use. Switchboards in the Government departments at
Washington have been enlarged and new ones installed. Right of way
is given to Government business over all commercial lines, so that the :
Government chiefs may keep in constant touch with every phase of the
Nation's great task and direct its progress intelligently and effectively..
In organizing the military activities of the country, the Govern
ment has had the effective cooperation of the Bell Telephone System,
which even in peace times reached 70,000 communities and now extends
to the headquarters of every Army Deyartment and Naval District in
the United States.
