"This means that additional ' boil ers, engines and generators must he bought and installed in the steam power plants to provide the quantl ties of power required to meet the demands which : have been greatly increased the last year by the estab lishment' of the shipyards in Port land.

"Three benches or generators have been required for the last two years to supply the maximum demand for gas which comes In the latter part or the .summer and early part or tne fall, due to the preserving of fruit and vegetables by the housewives. "One of the three benches used last year was finally worn out last winter, and as a result, there are but two 'left. "Due. to the Increase In cost of coal 33 per. cent and labor ,30 per certt and possibly more; the gas plant will experience a deficit of 31500 this year unless Its rates Tor gas are raised to meet the Increased cost of. production.

We are past the time of conventional religion'; past Up service to God; .past cheap denial of divine in stitutions. '' We are face toface ' with the tragedy of a world, and we know if we know anything' that there is but one power which can keep the future safe. We have easily called this a Christian nation now prove it. We have complacently pointed to the number of churches in Pitts- burgh, and then ' left most of the pews empty. We have dur ing this war, elicited support from every human source;-now, then, is not It time to remem ber God? " One clergyman In Pittsburgh has sent forth a clarion call. The First Presbyterian church is holding , a dally, meeting -for prayer and intercession, and how much attention has been paid to it by Pittsburgh's people. Yes, when Sousa's band plays there is a mob clamoring to beT the audience. When Mary Pick ford is to speak for the Liberty Loan, not one Inch of standing room is available. When the .church doors are open there Is plenty of loom and to spare. Shame upon us all. how dare we - so flout the Lord God -Almighty!

J'VERY CAV Gt'ARANTtED Pleads For Patriotism. Editor Statesman: "Sea dad what good shoes the war department furnishes for us," my boy said one day just after coming home from the Mexican border. He con tinued. "Had I known you would appreciate a pair I would have secur ed them for you." It is needless to say that I would have felt better if he had not gone into details quite so far in speaking of the matter. Napoleon is quoted with having made the statement' that armies march on their stomachs. Quite like ly that Is true wit regard to his and other autocratic ai-mies as well. Follow if you please the trail of the Hun armies and see hoir, they have ravished and aiultuated women and children leaving- their carcasses to pollute the land thinking thus to terriorize the people into submission to their devlllith rule. See how they have df fied churches and other build ing with their filth and poisoned the wells from which the Inhabitants drew their cooling drink, and when they can do no other nastyrwork they fly over head and drop "stink" bombs. And it Is said they were careful to save the breweries while destroying the churches, in order to serve , their stomachs. Every move they make Indicates the work of the serpent, nasty wriggling slimy thing It is. . The decree went forth at Eden's closed and guarded Kate a long time ago: "upen thy belly shalt thou go and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thr,llfe:" and enmity will I put betwean thee and the wo man and betweA her seed and thy seed;" It shall bruise they head and thou shalt bruise his heel." I hare killed many a 'poisonous rattle snake In Nebraska, my native state, and I almost always when I chanced to have shoes on my feet mashed the victim's head with my heel and re membered that thus It was written In the scriptures. There are I think non poisonous snakes which perhaps should not be molested unless near residences where they might be bad for little children to come in contact with. . , Yes our enemies march on their bellies as It was decreed that they should,, wallowing In the mire and filth and will lick the dust when Uncle Sam gets good and ready. Don't you ever get the Idea how ever that freedom's forces "go crouch ing and skulking into the fray ashamed of their movements. - Our government has furnished . the best shoes that skilled mechanics can make and our officers are demand ing that our boys keep clean, and respect woman's virtue and honor. You remember one of Pershing's men paid the death penalty for mistreat ing a woman. And dont you re member our modern Daniels banish ed the grog from the navy, and Sec retary Daker Is constantly demanding tnat the cantonments be kept clean for the boys who are to fight our battles. Here Uncle Sam's boys come mil lions of them marching in the best shoes money can buy with heads erect and shoulders thrown back and their lungs filled with the pure air of freedom's clime and their faces are turned toward Jibe rising sun and they will continue" to travel- thus in countless numbers till their noble task Is accomplished andthen they will come back with heads enveloped in a cloud of glory shed upon them from the constellation of stars with in the folds of the most beautiful banner It has ever been the privilege of mortal to gaze upon. Are you sorry you are a citizen of the good old U. S. A.? Where's the man who wants to shirk when there Is such a grand and glorious fight on band? I am glad I lived to see the day I can help although a few short years ag I Vailed, "why was I born to go through with such misery?"- Well thank God It's over and I have my "eyes open" to the fact that it Is a most glorious privilege to live and fight when my Fatberhas a conflict staged to give the children of men their liberty. "If the Son shall make you free ye shall be free Indeed." What's the. matter with some of you holiness people? I was informed a few years ago over In Idaho when I sat as a learner at your feet that Joshua carried on a holiness cam paign, when he went Into the land of Canaan ;and put away a lot of filth. Now Uncle Sam is carrying on the same kind of work why don't you get Into the collar and work Instead of shirking and eating theood that Hoover Is trying, to save, to help win the war.
