That is what the state's agricul tural leaders and business men ejacu lated after they met Carl 8. Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture, In jjFortland. this morning. I In a few short, incisive sentences, 'Vrooman, as special representative of the department of agriculture and the 'national council of defense, told what 'Uncle 8am expects Oregon farmers to -do with their surplus food produc tion, what he exjects of Oregon house--wlves and what he thinks Is the proper war service of Oregon business 'tnen.

Here Is what Berton Bialey says about the man who in business makes loyalty only hypocritical show: He hangs out a flag from his home and his office. He always stands up at "The Star Spangled Banner , Pullman Porter, First in Chicago, Eemarks That So?' Noyon, France, July 6. (U. P.) (By Mail) Noyon, which has been adopted by the citizens of Washington, who will undertake its reconstruction, Is not In the least bit selfish about it good luck, and has constituted itself into a center for all or tne various activities looking towards the restora tion of the 243 villages destroyed in Its immediate vicinity. This does not mean that the Inhab itants of Noyon Itself are helping the outside villages, as that is quite im possible. While Noyon as a city suf fered less from the German destruc tion- than any of the surrounding towns and villages the inhabitants suf fered all the extortion, cruelty and pri vations that the Germans were able to Inflict. Now that their Immediate and future wants have been guaranteed, they are quite happy to allow all of the various charities from all over the world, who originally flocked to the help of Noyon, to extend their help to the more devastated towns and districts for a score of miles around. Warehouse Za Opened On one side of the principal street of Noyon, Baron de Rothschild has ODened a warehouse and stocked It at his own expense with all the articles the war-stricken inhabitants are likely to need. On the opposite side of the same street two American women have opened a warehouse and stocked it with pretty much the same lines of hecessitlea. The competition between the two establishments is -the keenest of any kind that exists at Noyon even keener than the proverbial com petition between the military and the civil authorities. The American ladies have their own motor truck and personally carry their supplies, into the little homes to which they are destined. Baxon de Roths child does not possess a motor truck and his distribution has to be made by the military automobiles. Just as Washington adopted Noyon, and will undertake Its reconstruction, other towns and villages are having the good luck to find Godmothers and Godfathers. Countess Adopts Town The town of Maucourt, near Ham, whiah suffered to kn extreme degree, has been adopteB by Countess de Cha- bannes la Palllce. She has erectea temporary barracks in which the in habitants will live until their homes can be rebuilt. Then she will refur nish the homes with all the furniture and utensils that the Germans either carried away or destroyed. Just at present one of the most In teresting questions is "Who's going to adopt Chaunyr' Chauny was an un usually large and prosperous city, the center of the famous Saint Gobaln glass Industry. The degree of de structlveness Inflicted here by the Germans exceeds that of any other town or city. In fact it is so great that American cities less than the size of New York, Chicago. St. Louis or Cleveland, are advised to keep off of it as a Godson. Any one of these cities however could find In the restor ation of Chauny a task worthy of it self. The English Quakers, who ever since the first Invasion of France, have made a specialty of the reconstruction of destroyed homes, are also now working out of Noyon. Band Grenades Dangerous - One of the Interesting problems In volved in the cultivation of the soil is that of the unexploded grenades and shells which now lie everywhere be neath the' surface. A single hand grenade struck by a plow or harrow is sufficient to kill the horses and far mer as well as to destroy the machin ery. One which exploded recently underneath a steam plow in the vicin ity of Noyon completely destroyed the machine. Army officers who are studying the problem frankly confess their hope that American Inventive genius will find eome mechanical way of discov ering these unexploded projectiles In the soil. Otherwise thousands and thousands of acres of French soil will not be cultivatable. In These War Times you want real food that contains the great est amount of body-building material at lowest cost. The whole wheat grain is all food. Shredded Wheat Bis cuit is the wholewheat in a digestible form. Two or three of these little loaves of baked whole wheat with milk and a little fruit make a nourishing, strengthening meal. Made at Oakland, California.

Night Session May Finish Mooney Trial San Francisco, July 20. (I. N. S.) It is likely that a night session will be held in the Mooney case tonight, in order that the case may go to the Jury tomorrow.

Attorney McNutt concluded his argument in behalf of Mrs. Rena Mooney shortly after noon, and his as sociate counsel, Nathan Coghlan plunged into an analytical argument as to how It would have been Impossible for Mrs. Mooney to have aided In the preparedness bomb outrage. $25,000 Postal Theft' Of 1912 Is Mystery Denver, July 20.
