That is what the state's agricul

lated after they met Carl 8. Vrooman,
assistant secretary of agriculture, In

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

then In any state comparable with
those who are losing all that they
have their comfort, their convenience,
their property, their dear ones, their
own lives?
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

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.

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. The suggestion was made
to Judge Seawell by the prosecution
seeking to avoid a Sunday session.
The defense attorneys agreed to the
plan and the court took it under ad
vlsement. Attorney McNutt concluded
his argument in behalf of Mrs. Rena

plunged into an analytical argument as

Sinaloa Floated
Off Gape Blanco
Marshfield. Or.. July 20. At mid
night the stranded Norwegian steamer
Sinaloa at Cape Blanco was floated
and is now being towed to Port Or-
ford for temporary repairs and later
will be taken to San Francisco or Coos
Bay for overhauling. The steamer
struck a rock at Capo Blanco on June
15. Later a storm carried her onto
the beach.
Captain Curtis, representing the ma
rlne underwriters, with the aid of div
ers patched the holes in the hull and
pumped out the vessel. For a time
it was feared that the boat could not
be saved.
The Sinaloa carried a cargo of ni
trate from South America.

first they found the bones of an In
dian chief. Great quantities of brass
tings, marbles, elk teeth, and snake
rattles were found.
