They empty the stomach and bowels, giving all or the digest ive organs a healthy action. J. C. Perry. BY W. C COWGILL "It is a mere matter oi war neces sity," said Judge Earl Race yester day, in discussing the lack of farm labor for the coming season, "that we shall have to organize the boys and girls of the city and county into a big army of workers, and distribute them among the farms when the season arrives for harvesting the berries." There is plenty of labor of this character to be had, but if. is not effective for any kind of big work until it Is organized. Every boy and. girl in the country knows very well how to pick berries, but the city boy or girl, who has had only small ex perience, may have to be trained, and the easiest way to train, is to train on a farm, in some berry patch. Judge Race is willing to keep the books, free of charge, in a sort of intelllgeneee office, where the boys and girls of the city can register their names in companies, as say. from the different schools In the city, each school making a regiment by itself in charge of its own officers who might offer premiums for the expert pickers, to be paid out of their own "mess fund." so to speak. At any rate, it Is what each boyand girl can do to help the government in its stupendous effort to save every pound of fruit, as well as each pig the boys and girls are now raising at a profit for themselves and the government. In the same manner the boys and girls who are lving in the country, and know from experience how dif ficult It is for their parents to get the. right kind f help when It is needed most, can make their own school clubs and send in their names and addresses to Juge Earl Race at the city hall and he will be glad to do the rest. Robert C. Panlus, manager of tne Salem Fruit union, has a. record of the names of all fruit growers in the Willamette valley, and ho has offer ed to assist in this most important move, by making the proper distri bution of the armies of pickers and to see that the farms that are short are supplied according to the bveds of each gtower. In this way there will be an equal division of the labor army, each farm or grower, will geti the number of "pickers needed and not be sent too many, as has hap pened in other seasons. This is. now the time for organi zation. If the farmers , wait until their crops are ready for harvesting, they will not get the help theyneed and must have, fruits will be wasted, and that is not to be thought of for a minute. . " The boys and rJrls of the city schools, as well as those attending the district schools have made wond erful records in the past, not only in the pig club enterprises, but in the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. campaigns, and they will now doubtless be equal to the latest demand of their gov ernment, form labor unions for har vest work, especially when they will be paid good wages for thefr service p. Who will be the first boy or girl to race down to Judge Race's office and register an entire school room, or a company of. pickers. Do I hear any one speak out the name of "Winie" or is it "Margaret?" 9 ' iineY re ivorm 3 C Those SHOES-from the STOCKED SHOE In the faee of nigh Cost of Leather and Shoe -Materials when we really ought to ge t more for those shoes but we need the money more than so many shoes.

DUTY Emergency Board May be Called Upon to Provide Necessaiy Money Governor Witbycombe announced yesterday that the newly organized militia of Oregon will be detailed to guard warehouses, mills and ship yards in Portland and viciniiy. The governor recently suggested to Secretary of War Daker that de tachments from Camp Lewis b de tailed for this work, but Secretary liaker took an adverse view. The governor then informed the war de partment that the Oregon- legisla ture adjourned before the declara tion of war and consequently, no mo ney was appropriated- for work of this nature, and that available funds wonld not be sufficient to carry en the work through the militia for any reat length t time. The depart ment, however, maintained its stand. The plan now Is to use the militia troops. Because many members cf the guard have families and are so occupied that they 'cannot be con sidered available for duty, such men as are available will be detailed to the dnty. If montw to pay the ex pense does not hold out the governor says he will appeal to the state emer gency board rather than "call a spe cial session of the legislature; The following news books a're placed on the shelves this week: "President Wilson.'Va short hist ory of the president which considers his policies and problems in some I detail, written from a non-partisan point of view by an Englishman, H.
