If our people will only plan to make a picnic out of berry picking, the task will seem light and the job will be done without a burden to anyone, and with lots of fun, recreation, and enjoyment for all. Now is the time to plan to make one big picnic out of the berry season. 1 Let our women and children tackle the job. . Our man labor cannot be spared in these strenuous times, so it devolves upon our wives, sisters, aunts, boys and girls to pick the berries and save the day for our growers. Do the picking in the morning when the dew is still on them, and before the heat of the day. You have made a day's wages before noon, and the remaining hours are for recreation and re laxation. 4 i . . Camp life in a loganberry vineyard is ideal. Not too much work, and not too much play, a well balanced day, no need to overdo. ; Your pay is measured by the amount of work done.' The industrious make splendid wages. . 1 . " The pay per pound is higher this year than ever, and the need for helpers is acute. Get together a congenial crowd, register early, and get your assignment. - ' , Organize a party of boys and girls, act as their chaperon. They will give you the time of your life, and together you will help sa vc the harvest that means so much to all. A free camp ground, lots of fresh vegetables, milk, eggs, camp fires, etc. All these and many more pleasures and comforts come with an Oregon Loganberry Picking Picnic . , . "This morning in Pieardy our troops attacked on a front of one and one-fourth miles, advanced our lines and captured the village of Cantigny. We took 200 prisoners and inflicted on the enemy severe losses in killed and wounded. Our casualties were relatively small.' The quoted words are from last night's official report of Gen eral Pershing. That was the most ambitious fighting stunt yet un dertaken by the United States forces in France. It will be repeated, many times, and on larger scales, up to the time of the grand ad vance towards Berlin, if the Germans persist in fighting the losing war. They themselves bust see this comingTiow, and perhaps this fact may lead to events in Germany that, will shorten the great struggle. , . - 1 l- . . ' -:-:1-t . . !. ;-v ; i It is a great battle. The losses are heavyj But that the German losses far; outnumber those inflicted by their troops is patent. And they are accomplishing toothing; nothing but the eertain evidence of their own growing weakness, lack of morale, and inevitable de feat. The Yankee fighters are putting the proper punch into the fighting on the western front. 1 r The lines will hold. The Germans can not get through. It is just not written in the books. German bombs have again . been dropped on london schools. It is suggested, from present tendencies, that it will not be very long until that will be the only way to get any thing,' German into the American schools. Cuba and Mexico have not broken diplomatic relations. The Mexican leaders, some of them, are anxious to follow the band wagon and so that country will likely. If It can not be good, be at least careful, while th- prospects of German victory are plainly waning. - ' - A .New York state -men thought ha heard another man talking Ger man the other day, and hit him on general principles, only to find out that the offender . was.

"One war at a time, one war at a time." said Abra ham Lincoln, when we -were fighting the greatest war of history up to that time. . . . German princes are reported to be scrambling for new thronesa to be set up- in the East, ; like American party politicians for the offices af ter a change of administration. There are only six new thrones in sight to distribute among twenty-two petty German dynasties, including the house of Hapsburg. Napoleon had an easier time of it making kings of his Bonaparte brothers. While Wizard Edison has been working night and day in his New Jersey laboratory testing contributed war inventions and perfecting others o fhls own. Wizard Burbank in Call fornia has been completing the na turalization of a new kind of wheat, expected to yield forty bushels an acre of grain possessing a high per centage of gluten. The' future must show what the two wizards nave really accomplished, but we are all gla dthat they are hard at It.

L03 An gelcs Times. CKOOKKD STICKS. One article, hitherto valueless, which has been made valuable by the war Is crooked Umbers. For tho first time in .the history of the lum ber business the stump and roots of a fir or an oak tree are made a mar ketable product. They are grubbed out by hand. No machine has been invented for taking the place of the grubbing hoe. shovel and ax In this activity. The timbers used are bent in the middle so as to form a near right angle, the two sides of which ah ; about four feet long and two or more feet through. They are ship knees. In shaping them the Vxe and adze are used. It is a laborious process, but the native strength of the timbers must not bo impaired. So they "are fashioned by hand, with the result that $25 and upward is paid for each ship knee, and several hundred men are employed in Yam. hill. Polk. Marion and other Oregon counties in the industry. Small sawmills in the neighborhood In sev eral localities are cutting ties and, while the trunk of a tree goes t6 the mill, the crooked and otherwise un salable root and stump go to the builder of wooden ships. THE TOBACCO CIUSIS IX FKAXCK The American soldier has received no more welcome news since his ar rival in France than the recent an nouncement that henceforth the War Department will issue tobacco ra tions, according to a story coming from Paris. The scarcity of tobacco particularly the kind to which he has been accustomed, is said to have been a real hardship for the average Amercial soldier ever since he ar rived on the other side, and of late the situation has become so critical as to demand attention from the highest authorities. An American soldier arriving from the front, mud-spattered, and sway ing with his impediments, was way laid on a narrow street one night! recently by a doxen American sol diers, stationed in Paris. It was a terribly unfair attack, for. although the newcomer carried a rifle and a bayonet, and his assailants had only their strong two fists, they rushed him so fast he could make no resist ance. Some French soldiers coming up the, street heard the noise of battle and ran to the rescue. Dut instead of helping the unfortunato man they joined the enemy raiders. The soldier on leave, not being able to get even his hands free, and surrounded, finally found bis voice. "Say, what the devil do you fel lows want?" he bellowed. Smokes clgft tobacco seegar- ett!" The last from the Frenchmen. But butbut " ' "Well, you're coming from th-j front, ain't ye? And that's the on'y place in France they've got any left" the raiders exclaimed. "What? Cigarettes at the front? They're kidding you," the newcomer replied. "Why all we've got is this Boche stuff!" And he rummaged hlmelf, pulled out a tin box, and opened It. In a second the twenty cigarettes it contained were gone, and so was the mob. With evident relief, tho soldier threw his tin box on the side walk with a hearty bang, and kept on his way to the Y. M. C. A. hotel, where hot water and linen awaited him. The tin box which he had thrown away so contemptuously has a story two stories, in fact On it was in scribed the brand of Turkish tobacco and the fact that it was made by the government in Sarajevo,' Bosnia, the ustro-Hungarian town where Prin xip fired the shot which killed Fran cis Joseph's heir,' and gave Germany an excuse for war. Boche tobacco it was truly, as the soldier had said. The first story concerns a big raid which the French made on the' Salo nika front, and which gave them guns, prisoners and stores. In the latter were several million cigarettes. These the French government gave to its troops when the regular sup ply was exhausted. The second story concerns the shortage in tobacco for the American army, a shortage so acute that Gen eral Pershing's quartermasters had to ask the French for help, and part of this help consisted of the Horns tobacco. But this lasted only a few days, and as all Franco is short of cigarettes, matches, papers, and to baccoeverything but the habit, in fact the situation was anything but promising until the War Department at Washington announced measures for relief. Of the many thousands of tobacco shops in Paris, all but one or two show a sign announcing they have no cigarettes for sale. The two ex ceptions get a . few British cartons every day, and about once a week they offer a little French tobacco. Every day there is a long line-up in front of these shops, regulated by the police, and men and women wait an hour to get an ounce of tolacco or twenty cigarettes. lespite the generous gifts of thou sands of Americans at home, the ef forts of associations, newspapers, and the quartermaster's department of the army the American boys in France; are declared, to have really sufferer! because they could not tobacco. The blame can not be laid on any Individual or organization, but rather on all the unusual condi tions caused by the long war. One relieving feature has been th work of the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. in maintaining supplies. But SHE WAS ONLY TWENTY Yet Suffered with Functional Disorder and Was Cured by Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Spring Valley.UL "For many months 1 suffered from periodic pains 1 doc tored with our fam ily physician but re ceived no relief then I explained my trouble to another doctor and be ad vised me to take Lydia E-Pinkham'a Vegetable Com pound. Soon after taking it I began to notice a change for the better, and af ter taking six bot tles I am in Derfect health, and I cannot thank you enough for the relief it has given me." Miss Kate Lawrence, Box 725, Spring Valley, I1L School girls and girls who are em ployed at noma or in sotn occupation should not continue to suffer tortures at such times, but profit by the experi ence of Miss Lawrence and thousands of others who have tried this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and found relief from such suffering. If compli cations exist write the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. The result of their 40 years experience in advising girls oa this subject if at your service. these supplies came largely from the British and French and were not of the brands best liked by the Ameri cans. So it was with extreme joy that the American soldiers learned that in future they will be able to get what they want through the com missary department of the army. THE MELTING POT. They came, with eyes that and dull, To al and of liberty!' were dazed Came to a land where folk might live, A land that was "of' the free." They carried packs on their tired backs, , And their shoulders bent with dread; They did not know what the land might be That lay like a path ahead. They stayed, and their eyes, grew bright with faith With faith in their fellowmen; And some found work with a pick of steel. And some with a flaming pen. And they challenged dread with an upflung head. And a proudly-singing soul; For the stranger land had come to be A road with a shining goal! i ! And then there sounded a call, and they Looked up from their work and knew That dread and fear had some creep, ing back. While the sighing war-wind blew. Silently, then, the pick and pen Were laid in the dust aside. For the land was changed from a path and goal, ' To a land of men, who died! Their eyes looked back over the troubled se. Eyes that had once been dazed; And they saw a Europe spent aad worn Its altars and temples razed. And the ones who might went back to fight. Over the ocean foam; And the rest bought bonds that they might help The land that they now called HOME! Margaret E. Sangster In the Christian Herald. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST U It is a great battle. V . And the Germans arc doing their worst. . S They are fighting fast and desper ately reailizing that the element of time is running against them. But Paris was able to report last night: "The r.ituation tonight is more reassuring. The latest advices from the front rhow that while the violence ot tho enemy's effort is as yet unabated, he is only making headway on the center, and that even there the German momentum is giving signs of slackening. The al lies are beginning to react with effect on the wings." In other words, the fortunes of battle are turning against the Ger mans, and they fare sure defpat. In this great battle, and in the whole war. S The Berlin official report last night reported "prisoners" taken from American regiments. There weie prisoners taken. Two. One in Pi eardy and one at Lunevile. If either had not fallen into Hnn hands, the report would have been : "prisoner." if truthful. "W Our Yankee boys evidently do not care to sample the fare f the Ger man prison camps." Yes ;regsler to pick loganberries. That will be war-work, and the wo men and children can do that.
