OREGON'S FOOD PLEDGE RECORD
. . . By Carl Smltb. Wanhlnirfoo Staff Correspondent of Tba Jouraal
Washington, Nov. 16. The real ac-i
compllxhment of Oregon in the food
pledge campaign Is obscured by the
fact that the campaign manager in
that state set an unusually high
mark aa the goal to be reached. As
a consequence the state did not figure
among those which first attained their
quota, while other states. 'whloh were
far behind in actual results, were ad
vertised as the shining lights of food
conservation, in having exceeded the
figures they had set for themselves.
The food administration disclaims
any responsibility . for the "goal"
figures assigned to each state. What
eaoh state could reasonably be ex
pected to do, it is stated, was left for
the state itself to determine. This
figure, when reported by the campaign
manager, became the' "goal." and those
states which made a low estimate
of their ability to enlist their fami
lies for the conservation of food were
first to profit In advertisement of the
fact that they had readied their
quotas.
a
Thus, the state of Oklahoma esti
mated to have 391,691 families, placed
its goal, at 160,060 and was the fourth
state to go into the honor list by re
porting that It had secured over 166,
000 pledges. In the same time Ore
gon had! reported 121,000 pledges, but
Its families number only. 196,963, and
its .goal was placed at 160,000. In
proportion to Us population, Oregon
would need to secure -jptHy half as
many pledges a Oklahoma. With char
acterlstio enterprise, however, Oregon
had set out to secure 10,H)0 more
than Oklahoma.
Oregon's actual results were given
full credit by the food administration.
which recognised that inequalities
must exist under the plan adopted.
and realised that the states which
were plucky enough to fix a large
goal would in many Instances fall to
make the same showing on paper as
some of their sister states.
an ah ah
Idaho was the most hopeful state
or all. and fixed for itself a well
nigh impossible goal of 100,000, with
an estimate of 101,000 families in
the state. Many states, like Okla
ho ma. fixed as their goal less than
half the total number of famillea.
Alabama, .wtych was the second state
to report its quota iinea, namea zuo,-
000 pledges for its objective. The
state has 69,184 families. Even close
to Washington the same disparity is
noted, for in Maryland the goal was
placed, at only 130.000, with an esti
mate or 306,394 families.
a a a
Among the atates first placed on
tne honor roll Tor rilling their quotas
Vermont was best entitled to credit
on the basis of actual results. With
an estimate of 87,681 familtes, th
goal had been placed at 60,000, and
the state went about 6000 over that
figure.
The state of Washington furnished
an estimate of 846,401 families and
fixed its goal at 230,000. When Ore
gon had reported 122,000 pledges, how
ever, Washington had only 112,000
recorded. The completed figures will
change the standing of many of the
states.
A Lack of Restraint
Senator Chamberlain, defending the
food control bill, said in Washington,
as reported In the Philadelphia Bul
letin:
'How unmeasured the attacks on
this excellent bill have been! Now I
am like the boy at the movies. I like
measure and restraint.
"Two boys at the movies saw 'a
tragio picture play, and one of them
was overcome. He took out his hand
kerchief and wept and sobbed.
" 'Why. Bill, ye're blubberln'! said
the other boy.
Well.' sobbed Bill. 1 like to see a

Although there might be a certain
comfort in believing, as the ancients
did, that health and longevity come
out of some' mysterious unknown
forces, because it put the blame on

Eat unhygenically and you become
an old man sooner; eat hyglenically
and you become an old man later.
Drink hyglenically and so forth, and

you work and how you play and hor
you sleep and even7 what you dream!
In trying to dicker witn tneir
death days the ancients made the
mistake of waiting until they were
old' and then seeking some elixir of
life, some fountain of youth, to re
store them to their happy. and effi

The game of bad living habits, that
cut short the length of life. Is never
worth the candle. Good health has
been likened to dwelling on the crest
of a hill which slopes to a lake, be
neath the surface of whose waters Is
death. Life is most beautiful at tho
top and gradually fades aa you de
scend the hill. : Every momentary
pleasure obtained by an unhygienic
act places your dwelling lower on the
slope, where life is Inherently less
pleasurable.
Many of us are indifferent to our
position until wo get to the bottom
of th hill and our feet touch the
water. When we begin to get In
deep and our noses reach the water
line we struggle and shout loudly for
help. We want to live. Oh, how
beautiful Is the crest of the hill!
