Main "(JO TO TIIH A XT" SAYS POOD ADMIN1STIIATION "Consider the ways of tho ant and he wise." Oreuon families are earnestly urg ed to heed this old biblical axiom by the United Stat' Food Administra tion, which gives warning that there will be a great shortage of canned vegetables on the market this winter. and that several varieties of canned vegetables will be practically unob tainable. 'The government has reserved for army and navy uses practically all the entire output of the commercial canneries In many lines," said Thos. Farrell. chairman of the Food Ad ministration's price Interpretation committee, and there will be only a limited amount and scant variety of canned vegetables on the market. To matoes, corn, peas and string beans will be especially short, and wise families will can or dry sufficient supplies of these for their needs by home methods. While It Is now too late tor the canning of peas, toma- ji Fall Dress Fabrics in Quantities and Qualities that You Will Hot Find Again For Several Years to Come.

For drying corn and beans should be blanched In hot water or steam for five to ten minutes1; then dried In the sunshine or In the oven until free from mois ture and crisp. When used later la the winter they should be soaked In water before cooking, to restore thy moisture content, and they will be found to l)e equal, If not superior, to the canned product."

STORY TOLD THROUGH MOTION PICTURES Through the medium of the motion picture the story of how the Young Women's Christian association has risen to the war emergency and Is playing a vital part In the nation's "second line of defense," Is to be told to the world. Miss Sutherland Griffith, a "mov ie" star for four years before she re sponded to the patriotic call of the Y. W. C. A. is to stage the leading part In a special film now being pre- tlon, she made a flying automobile trip from Seattle to San Dlego.where the first scenes are now being filmed. In Its nation-wide campaign of ed ucation, preparatory to a drive for war work funds in connection with the Y. M. C. A., the War Camp Com munity Service, and the American Library Association, the Y. W. C. A. believes the motion picture will bo an excellent channel through which to convey its story to the public. When It wanted a star for Its en terprise, the Y. W. C. A. found ona In Its own ranks an Indication of pared under expert supervision. Un-j t,,e wl(ie range of talent among wo til last weak Miss Griffith was sta tioned at the Y. W. C.

The scenario was written by Wilbur Hall, noted Western magazine writer, STATE ESSAY CONTEST ATTltACTI.VG ATTENTION The statewide essay In the interest of the Fourth Liberty Loan drive Is attracting considerable attention umong tne school children nf tho state. The subject chosen for the youthful writers is "My Liberty Bond and I," and it Is hoped that a large lwportion or the 270,000 grade and high school pupils In the state who ere eligible will take part in this In teresting competition. All papers should be In the hands of the county superintendent not la ter than September 27. Pupils of private and parochial schools are also eligible to enter this contest under the same terms. The purpose of this contest is to encourage discussion of the Liberty Loan In the homes of Oregon. Pupils will not be permited to receive any specific help from their teachers, but may obtain any assistance from their parents. In any district where school has not opened the young people are par ticularly urged to write their essays and to forward them to their county superintendent, having first written their names and addresses plainly on their manuscripts. PEPSI. V DOING ITS HIT TOWARD WINNING THE WAR Comes now pepsin to do Its bit to ward winning the war by deplaclng rennet, made scarce and high by the war, In cheese-making. Its use Is explained In a new bulletin, "Th Use of Pepsin as a Rennet Substitute In Chedder Cheesemaklng," by P. S. Lucas, of the Oregon Agricultural College dairy department, who made many experiments from which the results are drawn. In all tests pepsin made as good cheese as rennet, and in as short a time if the temperature was slightly increased. The curd was a little more brittle, and a 10 per cent great er loss of fat In the whey occurs even with the most careful handling, which can be recovered only by the use of whey separators a practice advocat ed by the college. The moisture content of the nen- sln-made cheese Is slightly higher. and the yield a little less. The chief advantage of pepsin aside from avail ability and lower cost, Is that It can be kept In the dry state Indefinitely. All In all, "Pepsin is a satisfactory substitute for rennet In cheesemak- lng," concludes Mr. Lucas. If In terested, send for free copy of bulle tin.
