Entered at the AshlandOregon,
Some people think that all the money should be hoarded, because
it Is time of war; that the old home will do; that repair and upkeep
can wait until the war is over; that it Is sinful to spend; that ter-
rible times are coming, and we bhould preserve all our resources
for those times.
It Is the money that is spent, not the money that is hoarded, that
Is going to make prosperity in this land. There Is no cause for
blues, no excuse for pessimism. Pessimism Is wrong thinking, and
we have too many pestiferous gloom dispensers now. Think Optl-
misim, Prosperity, Normality, Happiness, if you want to help
WIN THIS WAR.
THE KAISKK
(From American Magazine.)
Now that the kaiser is here, how
do you like him?
Take another look at Emperor Wil
liam. We are beginning to see a
good deal of him. It seems to mo
Jhat I run Into him everywhere I go.
And whenever I see him I find that
he has a lot of new Instructions to
give me orders to hand out things
that I shall or shall not do.
Last Saturday I thought I would
go up to the golf club and get a little
xercise. When I got there I found
that this bird had preceded me and
closed up the place. The clubhouse
looked like Belgium, cold and deso
late. No more coal until further no
tice by order of German Willie.
It's the same way at home heat
tnrngd off, lights turned down, sugar
nearly gone. And the emperor at
the bottom of It all. If It weren't for
lis ambitions, things would be bacK
where they were.
At the restaurant where I eat my
lunch William has taken charge of
the kitchen and the dining room. He
tells me what I can have and what I
can't have mostly what I can't have.
He has lowered the quality of the
food, raised the prices and fixed it so
1 have to yell my, head off to get
anything at all. Aside from that,
lie's a perfect host.
The old boy follows me to the of
fice. Say, William, have a heart!
It would require a couple of hun
dred thousand words to describe the
help he Is to me in my business, with
all that he Is doing to upset the mails,,
the railroads, and the processes of
manufacture and delivery. On the1
whole, it is more fun these days -to
sit at home and shiver than to go
down to business and sweat.
Yes, sir, the emperor Is wlth us
every waking moment. It took quite
long time for him to get over here,
but he has arrived, bag and baggage.
And he has established personal rela
tions with each one of us. We are
laving extensive dealings with him,
and we are not finding the relation-;
fhlp very satisfactory. He Is a dom

CORRECT I'SE OP FLAG
SHOULD RE OBSERVED
In these days when every house
hold should have a flag, and should
fly It upon every occasion offered, Its
correct use should be known to all.
The following from the National
Geographic magazine, tells the prop
er usage succinctly:
While there Is no federal law In
t
force pertaining to the manner of
displaying, hanging, or Baluting the
United States flag, or prescribing any
ceremony that should be observed,
there are many regulations and us
ages of national force bearing on the
subject.
In raising the flag it should never
be rolled up and hoisted to the top
of the staff before unfurling. In
stead the fly should be free during
the act of hoisting, which should
be done quickly. It should be taken
In slowly and with dignity. It should
not be allowed to touch the ground
on shore, nor should it be permitted
to trail In the dust. It should not
be hurlg where it can be contamin
ated or soiled easily, or draped over
chairs and benches for seating pur
poses, and no object or emblem of
any kind bo placed upon It or above
It.
A common but regrettable practice
at public meetings Is to drape the
flag like a tablecloth over the speak
er's table and then place on the flag
a pitcher of water, flowers, books,
etc.
The flag should not b festooned
over doorways or arches. Always let
the flag hang straight. Do not tie
it in a bow knot. Where, colors are
desired tor decorative purposes, use
red, white and blue bunting.
' The flag, should not be hoisted up
side down other than as a signal of
distress at sea. v
International usage forbids the dis
play of the flag of one nation above
that of any other with which it is
at peace. When the flags of two
or more nations are displayed they
should be on separate staffs, or on
halyards of equal size on the same
level.
The flag should never be raised or
lowered by any mechanical device.
When -the national colors are
passing on parade, or in review, the
spectator should, if walking, halt,
and If sitting arise and stand at at
tention and uncover.
When flags are used In unveilln?
a statue or monument they should
not be allowed to fall to the ground
but should be carried aloft to wave
out, forming a distinctive 'feature
during the remainder of the cere
mony.
Where the national flag is display
ed with the state or other flags, It
should' be given the place of honor
on the right. Its use should -be con
fined as much as possible to Its dis
play upon the staff. Where used as
a banner the union .should fly to
the north in streets running east and
west, and to the east In streets run
ning north and south. 1
Old, faded, or wornout flags shouM
not be used for banners or other sec
ondary purposes.
When' no longer fit for display the
flag should be destroyed privately,
preferably by burning or other meth
ods lacking the suggestion of Irrev
ernce or disrespect.
' A l - , . . .
a uus or ensign at nan-mast is
the universal sign of mourning. Be
fore being placed at half-mast the
flag must always be raised to the
top of the staff, and before It is
lowered from half-mast it must like
wise be hoisted to the top.

WARNING HAS BEEN
ISSUED BY MARSHAL
More than ever this year is the
need of care to guard against des
tructive fires, for the reason that
labor is restricted and so many in
dustrial plants are engaged in war
emergency work, claiming all extra
help. Each fire causes loss of prop
erty and foodstuffs and thereby les
sens the chance of the nation to win
the war.
Fire marshals .throughout the
country have Issued warnings against
fires at this time of the year when
everything is becoming dry and in
flammable. The sugestton Is made
that all grass, weeds and brush be
cut from back yards and vacant lots
and burned under proper supervision
or otherwise destroyed. Every sum
mer scores of fires start In dry grass
and bruBh by children playing with
matches or are set by carelessness
of smokers throwing away lighted
cigars or cigarettes. Other precau
tions that should be followed are:
Rubbish should not be allowed to
accumulate in or about premises.
Care should be taken to keep
matches away from children. This
has caused a great many fires in re
cent months.
AvoW carelessness about the
kitchen, such as throwing lighted
matches in wood box, hanging clothes
too near to stove, removing partly
burned wood from the stove and put
ting it back in wood box.
Filling the stove or furnace with
paper or light, flimsy material and
opening the-rafts Is a bad practice,
as it invariably cause a chimney
fire, which in turn may set the roof
on fire.
Do not throw lighted cigars, cigar
ettes or matches from windows, and
help prevent awning fires. Remem
ber you are violating the law by bo
doing and are subject to arrest and
punishment. Numerous fires are
caused by the carelessness of smok
ers. Be careful where you throw
your, lighted cigar or cigarette.
Don t fall to disconnect electric
Iron when through using. See that
the current Is shut off.
Remember it Is necessary that vou
obtain a written permit from the fire
Btatlon In your locality before burn
ing anything In the open. You are
violating a city ordinance unless you
obtain this permit.
Do not keep ashes In wooden boxes
or barrels, or allow them to accu
mulate In the basement. All ashes
should be in approved metal recen-
tacles or removed so as to be safe
from fire.
Do not violato the law by allowing
to remain upon any roof an ajcu-
rauiauon oi moss or any other In-
flammable of combustlbJe TUbblshor
material.
Should you have a chimney fire
and there is danger of sparks Ignit
ing the roof, get out your garden hose
and wet the roof. In this way you
can stop the fire in Its inclplency and
save the department many needless
runs.
Do not use patent cleaning fluids,
polish or chemicals unless xyou know
something about them. Many of
these contain explosives and oils of
a dangerous character. Do all gaso
line cleaning in the open air.
Keep all gasoline in an approved

HOW TO CAN COCKERELS
TOLD BY' SPECIALISTS
O. A. C, Corvallis, June 13. Here
Is how lots of Oregon people are
canning chicken during the "Can the
cockerel" campaign, as recommended
by the college home economics spe
cialists:
Draw the fowl soon after it is kill
ed, wash carefully and cool, then cut
into convenient sections. Can by
either of these methods:
1. Place meat in wire basket or
cheese cloth and boil until meat read
ily parts from the bone; lift from
boiling liquid and remove meat from
bones; pack closely into sterilized
jars! fill with hot liquid after it has
been concentrated one-half. Add a
level teaspoon salt per quart of meat,
put rubber and cap In place tightly;
sterilize as per time-table.
2 Sear meat in hot oven or hot
fat in frying pan, and steam or sim
mer until it can be torn apart. Pack
meat in jars, fill the space with stock
and add a teaspoon of salt to each
quart of meat. Sterilize according to
time-table.
3 Free meat from bone and cut
into pieces to go into jar easily; pack
raw meat Into tested clean glass jars
to within 3-4 inch of top; add tea
spoon salt to each quart of meat, but
no water. Celery leaves, onion, pep
per or other seasoning may be added.
Sterilize according to time-table.
A fowl weighing two pounds dress
ed should make a pint jar of solid
meat and a pint of stock thick enough
to jell.
Canning suiplus cockerels saves
feed, provides substitute for meatless
meals next winter, and makes a con
venient food for unexpected visitors.
THRIFT CAMPAIGN TO BE
STARTED JUNE 28
Three-fold Is the purpose of the
Oregon thrift campaign, announced
by the Patriotic Conservation League,
beginning June 28, in the mustering
of waste materials from every home
and hamlet in the state, with school
children as a ready regiment for the
promotion of the enterprise.
The Patriotic Conservation League,
at Its headquarters in Portland, will
receive shipments of waste materials
from every community, paying there
tor at the highest market rate, in
baby bonds of the war savings stamp
Issue. The purpose of the league is
to further the distribution of war
savings stamps, to provide a fund for
the welfare of Oregon boys summon
ed to service, and to conserve war
materials for America.
, In each community the supervision
of the work will be in charge of the
war savings stamp representative and
It Is proposed to ship the collected
materials in carload consignments to
the league at Portland. Individual
shipments may be made, however. In
any case the name of the sender, with
complete address, should appear on
every package, in order that proper
payment may be made.
The material that Oregon school
children and citizens are urged to
collect, with the prices per pound that
will be paid therefbr, are as follows:
Copper wire, free of hair wire, 21
cents; light copper and bottoms, 16
cents; heavy red braes, 20 cents;
heavy' yellow brass, 14 cents; light
and medium brass, 10 cents; soft lead
6 cents; tea and hard lead, 5
cents; zinc, 4 cents; battery lead,
3 cents; battery zinc, 2V- cents; No,
1 pewter, 40 cents; aluminum, 20
cents; tin foil, 45 cents; block tin
pipe; 55 cents; No. 1 rubber, boots
and shoes, 6 cents; No. 2 rubber,
boots and shoes, 5 cents; No. 1 auto
tire3, 3 cents; No. 2 auto tires, 2
cents; No. 1 Inner tubes, 16 cents:
No. 2 Inner tubes, 7 cents; bicycle
tires, 2 Mi cents; . solid tires, 3
cents; black scrap rubber, 1 cent;
garden hose, 40 cents; fire hose, 50
cents; mixed rags.Vi to 3 cents;
paper, per .ton $8.00.
Twenty-five per cent. of the value
of waste received by the Patriotic
Conservation League will be retained
as a commission to. establish a budget
for the entertnlnment of Oregon sold
iers, and men of the selective' draft
who are leaving for the training
camps and the front. It is estimated J

that from $3000 to 13000 will be
needed for this purpose, and every
young patriot who sends in a pound
of metal or rubber, will know that
he has borne his share In the fare
well Rendered to Oregon men who
are to serve in France. Should a
surplus exist it will be devoted to
the Reed college fund for the recon
struction work for wounded soldiers.
Every boy and girl In Oregon, as
well as their seniors, Is urged to be
gin at once the collection of valuable
waste materials, and to attend to
their shipment to the league after the
date of June 28. In all cases the
prices are f.o.b. Portland, and repre
sent the best price obtainable.
Shipments should be sent by
freight where possible, owing to, the
prohibitive cost of express shipments
for material of this character, and
should be plainly addressed to the
Patriotic Conservation League, Port
land, Oregon, and should bear the
nam'e and address of the sender. Pay
ment In war savings stamps will fol

Every school child In Oregon can'
'aid In winning the war by joining
this crusade for the saving and sal
vaging of valuable waste materials,
which Ure urgently needed by Uncle
Sam for the equipment of his men
on land and sea.
ROGUE RIVER MAY
BE MADE NAVIGABLE
The mall route between West Fork
and Gold Beach will be abolished
July 1, and a new route from Merlin
to Gold Beach will be established,
says the Rogue River Courier. J. J.
Weerslng, of Merlin, who has had
the mail contract over the mountains
and also has the contract for the new
route, proposes to leave Grants Pass
In the morning, making the trip to
Almeda by auto stage, then by mo-
torboat to Mule creek, then by horse
back to Agness, and again transfer
ring to motorboat for Gold Beach.
Hertofore the mall has gone from
Grants Pass to West Fork by train
and then over the mountains to Ag
ness, from there to Gold Beach by
motorboat. The trail over the moun
tains is dangerous and often impass
able in the winter owing to deep
snows, many times holding up the
mails for several weeks. The new
route will do away with any snow
trouble in the winter months.

make the river navigable for motor

This he believes can be done by blast

The opening of Rogue river to
motorboat navigation will prove to
be a great benefit to the lower coun

be opened up and also good deer
