I- i Umatilla county cltiaena propose to narrow the roads' of the county, thus adding 7500 acres of wheat land, which will be capable of producing enough grain to meet th cereal needs of every one of the population of 28.846. Dr. C J. Smith of Portland, In a let ter to H. H. Ward, president of the Oregon Patriotic Service league, de scribes the plan as follows: "Relative to our conversation a day or two ago, so far as food conservation is concerned, I want to call your atten tion to the proposed saving In Umatilla county. It is proposed to .narrow the roads sufficiently to Include 7500 acrs more of wheat producing area. "Reducing this to figures, we find that, on an average of 25 bushels to the aero, it would mean a yield of 187,500 buirhels more. This divided by 6 bushels, the average consumption for the people In the United States, gives 28,846, which is Just about the population of Umatilla county. Conse quently this method of conservation alone would feed all that county and allow the whole average production In times past to go to the world at large for food." $840,000 a Year Saved Taxpayers Will K. Daly Receive Ovation After Address Before Italian - American Club in MHwaukla Street. Sneaking before the Itallan-Amer! can duo at urier nau, in mnwaume street, Sunday afternoon, Will H.

One small economy Is In the item of postage stamps," said Mr. Daly, "the saving this year over that of 1314 being SB0OO. "The service survey has added 114.- 000 annually to the revenue of the bureau and this has gone far to enable me to reduce water rates, which have been cut 35 per cent In the last'four years. 'When I was assigned the depart ment of public utilities I found a woe ful lack of system in the water bu reau. Th,ere were nearly 60,000 water consumers and many were being fur nished free water becauae of careless bookkeeping methods. "I ordered a systematic survey of all water services and the result has been that many thousands of dollars owing the city has been collected. In one In stance $1400 was paid by a single firm after we had discovered they had been using, water through an unrecorded service pipe.' Mr. Daly waa accorded an ovation at the conclusion of his address. He will from now on until election conduct a speaking campaign In every part of tho city, day and night.

C7Look for the Big Union Sign Lincoln.' Word Quoted. A tribute to motherhood waa paid by Rev. It. H. Sawyer, pastor of the Eas Side Christian church, Sunday morning-. "All men honor their mothers," he said, "for he who falls to respect his mother comes a little short of being a man. He who falls to respect his mother Is a dangerous fellow, for he will fall to' respect other men's mothers, sisters and daughters. The great Lincoln said: 1 remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." " j Bonny Disposition Pays. With all I the present day turmoil there Is spe l clal grace and effort needed to keen serene and aunny, according to Rev. S. W. Seeman, pastor of the Hope Pres byterian church. In his Sunday sermon on "Keep Sweet." He declared that we must show our strength and keep sweet for "the sake of our own happi ness and that of others." Tribute Paid Mother. Rev. H. Olln ! Eldridge, pastor of the Mount Tabor I Methodist church, In his Sunday ser : mon, declared that "Home" and j "Mother" are the two sweetest words ! In our language. Men attending the j sermon wore a carnation in their coat ! lapels as outward tribute to their mothers. Dr. Eldridge eaid that wo- j man s mgnest triumph was to make j tne home attractive. He urged a great er interest in that sacred place the some. "Wisdom Prom Chinese. Rev. L.uthr R. Dyott, pastor of the First Congre gational church, spoke Sunday night on "Mothers and Fathers." "Xo boy ever made a permanent success of himself." said Dr. "Dyott. "who did not reverence his father and his mother. It Is Impossible to break away from the rule of reverence without trouble coming upon more than one. One thing about the Chinese," he declared, 'is their reverence for their ancestors. And there's one thing naught about Americans we have little respect for anyone." Father Also Remembered t?v jJohua Stansfield. pastor of the First Meinoaist Episcopal church, in his Sunday morning sermon, characterized motherhood as the best representation of God through all the ages. He eaid It was the"divinest estatn in humor. life. He also paid tribute ' to father hood. Resolutions were adopted by the ' congregation memorializing Oregon's ' delegation in congress to support the prohibition amendment "for the con servation of national resources of grain and food." Timely Remembrance Urged. Ex pressing a beautiful sentiment for motherhood. Rev. Dr. Calvin B. Waller, pastor of the First Baptist church, ex horted his hearers to a more timely ! remembrance of mothers and wives, i Taking as his text Mark xiv:18, "She hath done what she could," Df. Wal ler pointed out" the application of Mary's timeliness in anointing the Savior's feet, "waiting not until he .was dead, but coming aforehand."
