Every state that has held a war
conference has reported meetings
- crowded with an enthusiastic gathering
that brought news of war work from
all parts of the state and carried away
a determination to spread the message
of the country's needs to every county
an! city. Oregon Is determined to
report the greatest and most successful
of all .war conferences to the federal
Authorities who suggested the plan.
President Wilson's own Interest In
the "plan I shown by the fact that he
has sent personal messages to no lean
than 4 of these conference. Officials
: In Washington hope that he will be .
able to send a similar personal greeting
to the war conference of Oregon when
It convenes In May.
' The presidential message to the South
ern states In war conferences was as
follows:
"permit me to extend through you
to the war workers gathered together
Council of Defense, the. assurance of
my very cordial Interest and regard.
I am sure that the leaders of your
state will seise this great opportunity
to plan through similar county .confer-
ences and through meetings at every
1 country crossroads to carry everywhere
throughout the state the message that
we are fighting, not for conquest but
for justice, not for dominion, but or
fair- and open dealing among the peo
pies of the earth.
"WOODROW WILSON."
The second sentence of that telegram
contains the real war conference mes
sage, according to the officials of the
Oregon State Council of Defense. The
Oregon war conference Is destined to
achieve a triple object. First, It will
bring together the war workers of the
state for mutual Inspiration and In
formation; second, the conference will
prove a means of strengthening the
state council organization; third, tho
. conference will pave the way for
great statewide speaking campaign.

Substitutes Baffle
Cook; Buried 'Em
' Yakima. April 20. Inability of a labor
camp cook to convert the substitute
Tiours into palatable bread led the Ital
lans in .a railway camp near ZUlah to
dump the substitute flours Into a hole
In-the ground in an attempt to, evade
tha regulations. When a report of the
proceeding reached County Food Admin
Istrator O. A. Fechter he sent John
Mecbtet, district supervisor, to make an
Investigation.
The Italians made no attempt to con
- ceal the true conditions, but -took the
inspector to a bole where the bread and
substitutes were burled. They told bun
they were unable to make bread they
could . eat out of the substitutes and,
after spoiling two batches, which even
the doga and 'chickens refused to eat,
they resorted to the plan of burying the
substitutes. Mr. Mechtel Is a baker and
spent some time showing the camp cook
